Arian's Wake-up call

Arian's life goes like this for too many years, without having the strength to speak up for himself and his right to be heard and to live in a peaceful home. The day he turns 35, however, he realizes - under no extraordinary circumstances - that he is more than that and he inwardly expresses his determined willingness to understand and to discover more about who he really is and about his purpose on earth. In his way, he meets Rada...

Kids are being exposed to fairy tales which, of course, are the magic of childhood. Nevertheless, some of these tales have turned into economic gains for kids, due to how the messages are spread around. Anyhow, we - as parents - need to cope and comfort out kids when fairy tales turn out differently.

In this episode I recount how I shamelessly forgot to play Tooth Fairy for my elder child (2 times in a row !!!) and I have a question for you all: How do you teach kids NOT TO BEAT THEMSELVES UP for the mistakes of others?

I am grateful for your engagement with this episode and for leaving me a voice message (if you listen via Anchor) / sending me an e-mail to [email protected].

See you on Thursday, for the #BookInsightsSeries with Rahila Khan, and on Fridays, for a new interview.

Stay blessed!

In today's episode, we discuss chapter 01,  the summary of which you can find below.

The first chapter, called "A simple man", presents the main character's family history and actual environment. Arian's parents love glamour, as they consider themselves superior to others and fully entitled to  be adored. Therefore, they throw loud parties until late at night. At the same time, as a guiding characteristic of their existence, they stick to the syntax "it has always been this way".

Additionally, from early ages of Arian's existence, the parents find out about Arian's brain exceptional capacities and that makes them despise their child.

Due to all the above mentioned aspects, the parents would do anything to put their child down, making him feel miserable, unwanted and unloved. As a consequence, Arian grows up with a strong feeling of unworthiness, carrying a serious lack of self-esteem into adulthood.
