I recommend this conference framed in a cycle of papers titled "Managing Children". Surely you will get more than one laugh. More than a lecture, it looks like a monologue from the Comedy Club.
Carles Capdevila is a professor of communication at the University of Barcelona and the father of four children: a 19-year-old daughter, an 18-year-old son, a 13-year-old and a 6-year-old. He tells us in a humorous way the differences between his two older children and the other two younger children.
He tells us about the differences between the two older children and the other two younger ones. For example, when he comes home, there are two who give him a hug and the other 2 do not:
Some pearls that Carles leaves us:
1) «When I make a joke at home, two laugh and two say that I am not funny; I don't understand it because a few years ago they also laughed ».
2) "When my 6-year-old son hugs me and it is the most wonderful thing that can happen to you, I tell him: 'Don't hug me so much because I know how you will be, I have traveled to the future.".
3) “Actually, when your six-year-old son hugs you, the idea that one day you will be separated from him seems unbearable. When he reaches 18, the idea that one day you are going to separate from him seems interesting ... even urgent ».
4) “With the first child, we sterilized the pacifier every time it seemed to us that it might have touched the ground. With the second, if we saw that the pacifier had fallen in a dirty place, we passed it through the tap. With the third we already decided that if the pacifier had fallen in a very very dirty place and there were 3 witnesses, at least we would wipe it on the shirt. The fourth child never dropped the pacifier ».
