Getting Ahead in the Sport of Parenting
San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) June 13, 2016 -- Parenting is a sport. There are daily wins and losses. It’s physically challenging, and there is strategy involved to achieve the desired end result: a happy, well-adjusted adult.
But, what if there’s a curveball?
Oyuki Aguilar, a mother diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, an autoimmune disease, wondered what would happen to her children if she weren’t there to parent them.
“I decided to write to them,” Aguilar said. “I wanted to leave them a kind of ‘manual’ for leading good and honorable lives, in colorful, attractive pages, that they could always turn to for comfort and guidance.”
Aguilar began compiling a book of reflections, paintings and humor about parenting and shared moments with her children. She wrote “The Sport of Parenting” as a memento for her children, as well as a source of inspiration and encouragement for other parents.
She explains, through making light of the daunting, daily challenges of family life, how every experience can be a teaching moment and how those lessons can be applied to other areas of life.
“Parents nowadays are so invested in their children,” Aguilar said, “that we often lose ourselves in the task of rearing.”
