My friend is a single mother of a fast growing 8 year old boy. He has been complaining often that all his friends have fathers who come to pick them up and take them out for various games and activities. So he keeps asking his mother, "Where is my father? Why is he is not here? I am so unfortunate. I do not have a father."
My friend did not want her son to grow up with a feeling of deprivation. Luckily, she came across a book that spoke of different kind of families. The book intended for children illustrated the idea with graphics.
There are different kind of families. Sometimes, it is children, mother and grandmother. Sometimes,it is just the father and children. Sometimes, it is mother, aunts and children. Sometimes it is a bigger family with uncles, and cousins. Sometimes, it is Uncle, father and children. There is no stereotypical family. Families come in all sizes and shapes. And they are all beautiful in their own ways. Yes, the most common kind of family is mother, father and children.
What a wonderful way to learn self acceptance!!!!
