During the weekend we were at a sports camp in Żywiec. We prepared psychological and dietary workshops for judo players from the Judo Club Chojrak.
Each of us sometimes needs help from other people. Independence is highly valued in our world. However, you can’t do everything alone, and everyone is to some extent dependent on others. Various life experiences and relationships with other people make it easy for us to ask for help, or on the contrary – it becomes an insurmountable barrier.
On Children’s Day, we filled our Institute with laughter and joyful shouts as we moved with our young patients to the village of Pocahontas.
When we think about courage, the images straight from movies come to mind for many of us. Fearless heroes save the city from cataclysms. There are also more real examples of courageous actions, such as people who saved someone who was drowning or dragged the wounded from a crashed car.
Being a responsible person is usually associated positively. It means that we carry out our duties with commitment, you can rely on us and we keep our word.
Pretending and playing roles can seem fun from an adult perspective. Such a pleasant and joyful moment for a child, but rather not particularly important. Just an inseparable element of childhood, such as drawing or arranging puzzles. Playing pretend and role-play is much more than the difficulty of thought. Requires a communication strategy, communication and social skills.
As we reflect on the future of our children and our own, we make various plans, we have many hopes and expectations for it. Sometimes we don’t even realize them until something goes wrong. Then we erupt like a volcano, plunge into sadness, or try to conjure reality and deny the facts.
Hearing a child’s cry, many of us want to act as soon as possible to just end it. Nature designed people in such a clever way that this sound initially evokes empathy and a desire to help the child, but when it is prolonged, it causes irritation. Listening to crying causes discomfort and confronts us with our own emotions – anger, irritation, fear or helplessness.
Most of us hope for something – a better job, sleep, recovery, positive effects of treatment, achievements in work or family life. In the face of failures, one gets the impression that hope is fleeting and delicate like a soap bubble. Just a little stimulus and it bursts without a trace. On the other hand, when faced with mounting difficulties, it can become an ally that helps to face them.
