お父さんみたいになりたくない
我が家は子供が四人。子供というのは、あっという間に大きくなるもので、一番上の子は中学生。一番下の子こそ、まだ幼稚園だけれど、現在小学生の2女、3女も続々と大きくなって、きっと、あっという間に中学生だ。
そん子供たち。ふとしたシーンの時に、ちょっと自分なりに子供たちにハッパをかけたいなと思うときがあるのだけれど、じつは自分の経験を振りかざしても、これってあまり意味ないもので、お父さんのようになりたくないとか、そんなことが一番大きくその子のモチベーションになるのかもなと思った。
もちろん、お父さんのようになりたい!というのがモチベーションになれば、良いのだけれど、お父さんのようになりたくない。そんな感情がモチベーションになってもいい気がする。
お父さんのようになりたい? お父さんみたいになりたくない?

I don’t want to be like my father
We have four kids in our family. Children grow up so quickly – the eldest is in junior high school. The youngest is still in kindergarten, but the second and third girls, who are currently in primary school, are growing up one by one and will soon be in junior high school.
Sometimes I want to encourage my children in my own way, but actually it doesn’t make much sense to use my own experience as a motivator. I thought things like not wanting to be like my father might be the biggest motivator for them.
Of course I want to be like my dad! Of course it would be good if the motivation was ‘I want to be like my dad’, but I don’t want to be like my dad. I think that kind of feeling could be a motivation.
Do you want to be like your dad? Don’t you want to be like your dad?
