This quote from Rosario Ortega an Spanish educator and psychologist means that in this world we must slow down to take care of our children, to talk to them, to look at them, to be with them. Instead of label as a difficult child.
instead of seeing a child’s behavior as the problem, we should recognize how our rushed, impatient world affects them and take the time to engage, nurture, and truly be with them.
Esta cita de Rosario Ortega, una educadora y psicóloga española, significa que en este mundo debemos desacelerar para cuidar a nuestros niños, para hablar con ellos, mirarlos, y estar con ellos, en lugar de etiquetar a un niño como "difícil". En lugar de ver el comportamiento del niño como el problema, debemos reconocer cómo nuestro mundo acelerado e impaciente los afecta y tomarnos el tiempo para involucrarnos, nutrirlos y realmente estar con ellos.
