How to explain to a child that a fairy-tale wizard will not bring him a brand new iPhone ordered in a letter? Unexpected advice to parents from the country’s main Santa Claus.
New Year is a time when every child, and almost every adult, is waiting for a miracle and the fulfillment of his most cherished dream. Only in recent years, they are, alas, not always childish in babies. Every second letter that is received in Veliky Ustyug – the patrimony of the main winter wizard, is not about dolls and cars, and not even about a puppy.
After reading and listening to non-childish requests during his trip around the country with the NTV channel, All-Russian Santa Claus made unexpected statements to his parents.
Modern boys and girls are asked to put an expensive gadget under the Christmas tree. Not all mothers and fathers can afford to give such a gift on behalf of Santa Claus. What should parents do in this case? How to respond to a child so as not to destroy his faith in a miracle?
– It’s a very difficult question, – All-Russian Santa Claus pondered over the answer. – I myself constantly ask my friends: “Why does a child need a device in which he will not use 90 percent of the functions?” Maybe this is the fashion in the classroom? I must say this: “Santa Claus will bring, but, perhaps, something simpler.” It is necessary to try to explain to the child in an adult way: such a complex expensive device can get lost on the road, crack, and Santa Claus will be upset. Another point is very important – the moment of labor: did the child deserve such a serious toy? We must first make something easier.
I, of course, understand that all these requests are made up of daily communication with peers. But why? What for?! Just play around? You need to teach your child not to envy! “Yes, Santa Claus brings someone. But we live differently: we do not need this. ” It is necessary to try to explain to the child not the value of this phone, but the value of communication, the value of a photo, the value of a book, the value of a fairy tale. Only a parent can convince here, and not one of my short advice.
Sometimes there is such a feeling: earlier, animals were brought up in a child’s book – remember Mowgli? And now the child is being brought up by gadgets: he put him at the phone and left. It is necessary that this just did not happen! There was no dependence! You need to read together, play sports together, and spend your free time together! Eye to eye, soul to soul.
According to Santa Claus, he has a huge number of letters with the request “Please give us back our dad!” The winter wizard with a warm heart could not remain indifferent to childish tears and made a statement:
– Now, my friends, I want to turn to our dear mothers with a request. Stop raising babies from sons! Sometimes you see: photography on social networks. There is a man, a man, a hero! And the signature: “My cute bunny”, “My cute bunny boy.” Friends, whom are we raising up to 20, up to 30, up to 35 years old ?! More precisely, babysitting! – at this moment there is no limit to the bewilderment and indignation of Santa Claus. – A person who does not know how to make decisions and is not ready for adult life! This “bunny” grows up, gets married, he has a family … And when serious, adult, male difficulties come, he says: “Listen, why do I need all this? There, it seems, there are still other girls, there are a lot of “bunnies”. ” And as a result, over the past month, every second letter comes to me with a request: “Give us back our dad!” Dad is alive. Dad is healthy. But dad is gone … My friends, this is a life-long tragedy for every girl, for every boy. There must be heroes! Strong not only in body, but also in spirit, who know how to make decisions! At the age of 5, boys and girls are already independent individuals. Let them choose which cartoon to watch. Let them learn from 3-4 years old to be responsible for their actions! We must, my friends, solve this problem together with you. I alone cannot. So stop raising a nurse!
