"Si no estás gritando a tus hijos no estás pasando suficiente tiempo con ellos"
— Reese Witherspoon
Simplified Meaning:
Spending a lot of time with your kids means you really get to know them well. When you are around them more often, you see all sides of their behavior, including the times when they misbehave or don’t listen. This can sometimes make you frustrated, and you might raise your voice. It’s a normal part of being closely involved in their lives. Imagine a teacher who only sees their students for a short time – they might not experience the same challenges as parents do. For parents, the daily ups and downs are a sign that they're present and engaged in their children’s lives. To apply this, understand that occasional frustration is a natural part of the parent-child relationship and reflects deep involvement. Balancing patience with discipline is key.
