My wife has always commented that she would like to be able to see my children for a little hole while they are in school, knowing what they do when we are not there, with whom they play, what they say, how they behave. I know this is a fairly common thought in parents, especially in those early days when we have to separate from them and leave them in nursery school or with a caregiver. Will they miss us? Will they have a good time, as their caregivers tell us?
Today there are many nursery schools that offer streaming video so we can see live and direct what our son is doing, something that certainly dispels many of the doubts we may have. But what would happen if it were the other way around? What would happen if our children could see us when we are not with them?Would they be able to recognize us through a television? In the following experiment, several mothers are interviewed about what they think about motherhood and while, in an adjoining room and without them knowing it, the interview is broadcast to their children. The reaction of these is impressive and something you can not miss.
At the end of the interview, the mothers are taken to another room where they are shown the recording of those moments when their child is watching them through the television. Their faces say it all.
