- Some parents face questions and objections from their children of the type:
-"Why don't we attend the events?" -"Why don't we go to the trips?"... -"I don't like this clothing (religious)"... -and others..
The father or mother may think of asking one of the acquaintances to convince the son or daughter, but it is difficult for him and he says to himself: "I am the one people refer to and see me as a role model" "Does it make sense that I appear in the image of one who convinces others while my children themselves need someone to convince them?!"..
This sensitivity is misplaced, my friend! There is no shame in seeking help from others, for children often need not only pure conviction, but also the feeling that there are those who share these convictions...
No matter how much you instill in them the concept "You are the party of truth even if you are alone as long as you follow the evidence" they need companionship, to break the feeling of alienation...even adults need this companionship..
Therefore, a word from a young boy or girl may be more effective on your son or daughter in a matter than your word, not because of any defect in you or your argument or your credibility with your children, but because they need this companionship and the feeling that there are people like them. Hence comes the importance of providing a good social environment for our families and children.
