¡Hola a todos los padres y madres de la comunidad!, un honor poder compartir con ustedes una vez más de mi camino en este mundo de la paternidad, cada día es una nueva vivencia y a demás de experiencias que a veces nos agarran fuera de base, pero debemos estar preparados para las curvas de la vida.

En estas últimas semanas he descubierto que mi hija tiene miedo a la oscuridad algo que anteriormente no sucedía para nada, el apagar la luz del cuarto para dormir era una costumbre que solo ella hacia muy relajadamente ahora se ha convertido en una polémica por querer dejar la luz encendida incluso cuando la enviamos a que la apague se hace la que no escucho solo para ignorar ese mandato.

Me han dicho que esta experiencia es algo normal en los niños de su edad y que no es algo por lo que deba alarmarme, sin embargo es bueno tener cuidado de que esos miedos no se tornen algo más allá.

Hello to all the fathers and mothers of the community, it is an honor to be able to share with you once again my journey in this world of parenthood, every day is a new experience that sometimes catches us off base, but we must be prepared for the curves of life.

In recent weeks I have discovered that my daughter is afraid of the dark something that previously did not happen at all, turning off the light in the room to sleep was a habit that only she did very relaxed now has become a controversy for wanting to leave the light on even when we send her to turn it off she pretends not to listen just to ignore that mandate.

I have been told that this experience is normal for children her age and that it is not something to be alarmed about, however it is good to be careful that these fears do not turn into something more.

Mi hija Esther es una niña muy tranquila dulce y sentimental además de ser muy sensible, así que cuando algo le da miedo así sea un animalito, un ruido o alguna otra cosa lo suele demostrar de manera muy efusiva, con gritos gestos y caras de pánico, así que dejar la luz apagada o llegar un sitio y que este oscuro es algo que la atemoriza.

Mi hija tiene una capacidad para imaginar cosas que a veces me deja sorprendido inventa cuentos escenas infantiles, juegos y cosas así que obviamente esas imágenes que extrae de las comiquitas se quedan almacenadas en su cerebro que la hacen imaginar ciertas cosas y sentir ese miedo, últimamente estaba viendo una parte de la comiquita de Peppa Pig en la que se va la luz y Peppa empieza a hacer cosas extrañas con su cara para asustar a su hermanito George, así que desde que vi esa escena pienso que algo influyo allí.

Las comiquitas que Esther ve no son de miedo, ni monstruos o cosas que pueden producir miedos o por lo menos este tipo de miedo a la oscuridad, solemos vitar este tipo de cosas por eso mismo, ya que ella es una niña que imita desamasiado a los personajes que ve, incluso de repente quiere usar el mismo tono de voz y la forma en la que estos se expresan.

My daughter Esther is a very quiet, sweet and sentimental child, besides being very sensitive, so when something scares her, whether it is an animal, a noise or something else, she usually shows it in a very effusive way, with screams, gestures and panic faces, so leaving the light off or arriving at a place and it being dark is something that scares her.

My daughter has a capacity to imagine things that sometimes leaves me surprised, she invents stories, children's scenes, games and things like that, obviously those images that she extracts from the cartoons are stored in her brain that make her imagine certain things and feel that fear, lately I was watching a part of the Peppa Pig cartoon in which the light goes out and Peppa starts to do strange things with her face to scare her little brother George, so since I saw that scene I think that something influenced her there.

The comics Esther watches are not scary, nor monsters or things that can produce fears or at least this kind of fear of the dark, we usually avoid this kind of things for that reason, since she is a child that imitates too much the characters she sees, even suddenly she wants to use the same tone of voice and the way they express themselves.

Por el momento antes de que se acerque la hora de dormir la preparamos con comiquitas lindas, le leemos algún cuento, le hacemos saber que estamos allí con ella para cuando nos necesite, además de que solemos darle un baño de agua tibia esto lo hacemos desde que estaba bebe así que es algo normal en nuestra rutina además de tener su buena pijama cálida y cómoda.

En casa tenemos un aparato que es un micrófono para bebes, nos sirve para escuchar cuando la bebe se despierta, lo que está pasando en la habitación y lo práctico de este micrófono es que tiene integrada una lámpara que impide que el cuarto quede completamente a oscuras y actualmente es de gran beneficio para nosotros, mis niñas les gusta porque tiene el diseño de un bonito oso, en las noches la dejamos encendida para que ilumine la habitación de las niñas.

Pienso que lo importante de todo esto es siempre buscar ayuda que obviamente nos puedan servir y salir del problema, hacerles saber a nuestros hijos que estamos allí en todo momento para ellos y que están seguros y protegidos con nosotros.

Si usted también ha atravesado este problema, puedes compartir conmigo tus consejos, será un gusto poder leerte.

At the moment before bedtime approaches we prepare her with cute comics, we read her a story, we let her know that we are there with her when she needs us, besides we usually give her a warm bath, this we do since she was a baby so it is something normal in our routine besides having her good warm and comfortable pajamas.

At home we have a device that is a microphone for babies, it helps us to hear when the baby wakes up, what is happening in the room and the practicality of this microphone is that it has an integrated lamp that prevents the room is completely dark and currently is of great benefit to us, my girls like it because it has the design of a cute bear, at night we leave it on to illuminate the room of the girls.

I think the important thing in all of this is to always look for help that can obviously help us and get us out of the problem, let our children know that we are there for them at all times and that they are safe and secure with us.

If you have also gone through this problem, you can share with me your advice, it will be a pleasure to read it.

Hola amigo, entiendo cuando dices que se quedan con la imagen de las comiquitas que ven, a mi hija le pasaba por eso ahora no la dejo ver tele antes de dormir sino jugar un poco o leerle un cuento. Creo que es muy normal porque tu nena aún está pequeña, solo denle mucho amor y atención a todo lo que expresa, mi niña es igual de efusiva jaja. Bendiciones para tu nena 🙏

Hola amiga, es un buen consejo, muchas gracias por compartirlo.

Estamos regulando su rutina de sueño para evitar estos contratiempos, ha mejorado así que poco a poco esto ira pasando.
