What is love for you? A complicated question to answer from our adult vision, right? On the other hand for children, because of their way of being so free and spontaneous, because of their innocence and sincerity, explaining it is much better than us.
Jubilee Project, an organization dedicated to promoting stories that inspire change in society, has created a beautiful video for Valentine's Day in which a group of children explain what love is (and they have it very clear). Your answers will surprise you.
The ages of the children are between 4 and 10 years or so, and of course, each responds according to their level of maturity, but what is clear is that the opinions that children have about love are conditioned by the experiences they live in their homes In day to day.
They ask them very nice questions as if they have ever felt in love, what they have felt, how they think they are shown to the other people they are loved ...
Your answers give us a lesson. They believe that caring for others, making them feel good, treating them in a special way is much more important than giving gifts because that is precisely what they themselves expect to receive from us, their parents. They don't care how many toys we can give them but share time with us and make us feel special.
The way we treat our children has a lot of influence on their way of conceiving love, as well as on the relationships they will have in the future. It is a feeling that we have to cultivate and nurture in them, because we love them more than anything in the world, and because we want them to love and be loved as they deserve.
