No queremos cambiarles de rumbo de forma brusca. En cambio, podemos prepararlos con anticipaci\u00f3n.<\/p><p>Por ejemplo, podr\u00edas decir: \u201cEl s\u00e1bado vamos a hacer una caminata en familia\u201d, o \u201cVamos a hacer un picnic en el parque\u201d, o \u201cVamos a dar un paseo en bicicleta\u201d. Esto les ayuda a prepararse mentalmente y a empezar a imaginar la actividad.<\/p><p>Al hacerlo, le est\u00e1s dando un ejemplo de la experiencia que quieres que tu hijo viva. Le est\u00e1s mostrando c\u00f3mo es una vida sana y activa.<\/p><p>El siguiente paso es establecer una interacci\u00f3n regular. Podr\u00edas decirle: \u201c\u00bfTe gustar\u00eda dar una vuelta a la manzana conmigo?\u201d, e intentar que se convierta en un h\u00e1bito constante.<\/p><p>Si te encuentras con resistencia, es importante que te des cuenta de que es posible que est\u00e9n muy concentrados \u2014casi con una visi\u00f3n de t\u00fanel\u2014 en sus juegos. Cuando eso ocurre, dejan de fijarse en otros aspectos de la vida.<\/p><p>Por eso, incorporamos otras experiencias de forma intencionada. Vamos al cine en familia, organizamos actividades y creamos oportunidades para estar juntos m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de los videojuegos.<\/p><p>Cenar juntos es especialmente importante. Crea un espacio para la interacci\u00f3n social y las conversaciones significativas. Puedes hacer preguntas como: \u201c\u00bfQu\u00e9 fue lo mejor de tu d\u00eda?\u201d o \u201c\u00bfQu\u00e9 fue lo m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil?\u201d.\u201d<\/p><p>Estas conversaciones les ayudan a reflexionar y a participar, y con el tiempo, empiezan a alejarse de las pantallas de forma natural.<\/p><p>Tambi\u00e9n puedes proponer actividades como jugar juntos a un juego de mesa. El objetivo es fortalecer la relaci\u00f3n.<\/p><p>En lugar de centrarte en quitar algo, c\u00e9ntrate en a\u00f1adir interacciones positivas. Aumenta las conexiones significativas y las experiencias compartidas.<\/p><p>Si adoptas este enfoque, es menos probable que tu hijo se sienta criticado o controlado. Por el contrario, se sentir\u00e1 invitado a establecer una conexi\u00f3n, lo cual es una forma mucho m\u00e1s eficaz y positiva de guiarlo.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n

compartida?<\/p><p>Creo que esto nos lleva a una cuesti\u00f3n muy importante. Por lo general, en situaciones como esta, la crianza paralela se da cuando los padres est\u00e1n divorciados, separados o, simplemente, no educan a sus hijos de la misma manera. A menudo tienen objetivos o aspiraciones diferentes en cuanto a su enfoque de la crianza de sus hijos.<\/p><p>Lo mejor que podemos hacer es identificar nuestros valores fundamentales y lo que queremos que aprendan nuestros hijos. Lo que quiero decir con esto es: \u00bfcu\u00e1l es el objetivo final para este ni\u00f1o?<\/p><p>La mayor\u00eda de los padres estar\u00e1n de acuerdo en los objetivos finales. Aunque est\u00e9n divorciados y no se pongan de acuerdo en muchas cosas, suelen compartir una visi\u00f3n com\u00fan sobre el futuro de su hijo.<\/p><p>Por ejemplo, es posible que ambos padres quieran que su hijo sea un buen ciudadano. Entonces, \u00bfc\u00f3mo se ense\u00f1a eso? Queremos que respeten a los dem\u00e1s, respeten a los maestros, sean productivos, desarrollen habilidades y aprendan a trabajar.<\/p><p>Una vez que nos pongamos de acuerdo sobre esos objetivos, el siguiente paso es preguntarnos: \u00bfc\u00f3mo los alcanzamos? \u00bfC\u00f3mo ayudamos a nuestro hijo a tomar decisiones que est\u00e9n en consonancia con esos objetivos?<\/p><p>Ah\u00ed es donde la crianza en paralelo cobra sentido. Partimos del objetivo deseado y vamos retrocediendo. A menudo, los padres pueden encontrar puntos en com\u00fan si se centran en los resultados compartidos y, a continuaci\u00f3n, identifican formas de fomentar comportamientos que respalden esos objetivos.<\/p><p>Si est\u00e1n intentando colaborar en una situaci\u00f3n de crianza compartida, mi sugerencia es que empiecen por el final. Preg\u00fantense: \u00bfqu\u00e9 queremos que nuestro hijo sepa cuando se grad\u00fae y se vaya de nuestra casa \u2014o de nuestras casas?<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this excerpt, Dr. Kevin Skinner explains how parents in parallel parenting situations can find alignment by focusing on shared long-term goals for their children.

Pero cuando alguien dice: \u201cEstoy gordo\u201d, debemos preguntarnos: \u00bfde d\u00f3nde viene esa percepci\u00f3n? \u00bfQu\u00e9 determina esa creencia?<\/p><p>\u00bfC\u00f3mo definimos si alguien tiene sobrepeso? \u00bfNos estamos comparando con algo poco realista?<\/p><p>Por ejemplo, las investigaciones demuestran que tanto los hombres como las mujeres que ven pornograf\u00eda tienden a tener m\u00e1s problemas con su imagen corporal. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9? Porque se comparan con im\u00e1genes poco realistas y muy retocadas que no reflejan la vida real.<\/p><p>Si ese tipo de contenido influye en la percepci\u00f3n, \u00bfqu\u00e9 pasa entonces con las redes sociales, la televisi\u00f3n o plataformas como TikTok, que muestran constantemente ciertos tipos de cuerpo? Cuando los j\u00f3venes no se ajustan a esas im\u00e1genes, pueden empezar a creer que hay algo mal en ellos.<\/p><p>Por eso es importante ayudar a nuestros hijos a entender c\u00f3mo es una versi\u00f3n saludable de s\u00ed mismos. Quiz\u00e1s una mejor pregunta ser\u00eda: \u00bfqu\u00e9 te gustar\u00eda que tu cuerpo pudiera hacer?<\/p><p>Por ejemplo: \u201cQuiero correr una milla\u201d o \u201cQuiero correr una carrera de 5 km\u201d. Genial, entrenemos para eso. Ahora les estamos ense\u00f1ando a tomar medidas para alcanzar un objetivo, en lugar de esperar a que el cambio suceda por s\u00ed solo.<\/p><p>Lo mismo ocurre con la alimentaci\u00f3n. No deber\u00edamos centrarnos en hacer dieta para bajar de peso, porque eso rara vez funciona a largo plazo. En cambio, nos centramos en llevar una vida m\u00e1s saludable. Ese cambio de mentalidad es mucho m\u00e1s efectivo.<\/p><p>Cuando un ni\u00f1o expresa inquietudes sobre su cuerpo, a menudo esto refleja una creencia m\u00e1s profunda: sentimientos de insuficiencia, como \u201cno soy lo suficientemente bueno\u201d o \u201csoy diferente\u201d. Eso es lo que realmente debemos abordar.<\/p><p>Preg\u00fantales de d\u00f3nde viene esa idea. \u00bfCreen que es cierta? \u00bfPor qu\u00e9? \u00bfY c\u00f3mo puedes apoyarlos? No porque est\u00e9s de acuerdo con la cr\u00edtica, sino porque quieres que se sientan bien consigo mismos.<\/p><p>H\u00e1gale saber a su hijo que es importante. En mi experiencia profesional, he visto lo perjudicial que puede ser que los padres critiquen el cuerpo de sus hijos: los comentarios sobre el peso, la apariencia o los h\u00e1bitos alimenticios pueden generar un sentimiento de insuficiencia que perdura en el tiempo.<\/p><p>Podemos hacerlo mejor. Podemos dar ejemplo con h\u00e1bitos saludables, ofrecer alimentos nutritivos y comunicarnos de manera positiva.<\/p><p>Lo m\u00e1s importante es que nuestros hijos sepan que los queremos, que nos preocupamos por ellos y que estamos ah\u00ed para apoyarlos ante cualquier desaf\u00edo que se les presente.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this excerpt, Dr. Kevin Skinner addresses body image issues in boys, explaining how cultural influences and unrealistic comparisons contribute to negative self-perception.

hablar de lo que eso significa realmente, porque las cuestiones relacionadas con el narcisismo pueden ser complejas.<\/p><p>El narcisismo es uno de los rasgos de personalidad m\u00e1s dif\u00edciles de abordar como sociedad. Cuando alguien es verdaderamente narcisista, el mundo tiende a girar en torno a \u00e9l. A menudo ven a los dem\u00e1s principalmente en funci\u00f3n del beneficio que les aportan.<\/p><p>El narcisismo puede manifestarse en forma de un comportamiento egoc\u00e9ntrico, como creer que \u201cme merezco ciertas cosas\u201d o que \u201csoy m\u00e1s importante que los dem\u00e1s\u201d.\u201d<\/p><p>Si est\u00e1s tratando de ayudar a tu hijo en esta situaci\u00f3n, una de las mejores cosas que puedes hacer es informarte. Averigua m\u00e1s sobre el narcisismo y c\u00f3mo afecta a las relaciones. Recursos como el libro <em>Deja de andar con pies de plomo<\/em> puede ayudarte a comprender mejor c\u00f3mo interactuar con personas que presentan estas caracter\u00edsticas.<\/p><p>A medida que su hijo crezca \u2014especialmente al llegar a la adolescencia\u2014 tambi\u00e9n puede ser \u00fatil educarlo con delicadeza. No imponi\u00e9ndole informaci\u00f3n, sino ayud\u00e1ndolo a comprender lo que est\u00e1 viviendo en sus interacciones con ese progenitor.<\/p><p>A menudo, los ni\u00f1os que se encuentran en estas situaciones experimentan patrones de comportamiento confusos, lo que podr\u00edamos llamar \u201cun d\u00eda s\u00ed, otro no\u201d. En un momento, el padre o la madre se muestra generoso, atento y cari\u00f1oso; al siguiente, puede mostrarse distante, cr\u00edtico o inconsistente. Esta imprevisibilidad puede parecer manipuladora y hacer que el ni\u00f1o pierda la confianza.<\/p><p>En los casos m\u00e1s graves, un padre o madre narcisista puede intentar poner al ni\u00f1o en contra del otro progenitor. Esto puede resultar especialmente da\u00f1ino y confuso, y a menudo requiere la ayuda profesional de un terapeuta.<\/p><p>Es importante comprender que no puedes controlar el comportamiento del padre o la madre narcisista. Actuar\u00e1n de acuerdo con sus patrones habituales.<\/p><p>Lo que s\u00ed puedes controlar es el entorno que le brinde a tu hijo. Conc\u00e9ntrate en ofrecerle un hogar seguro, estable y lleno de amor, donde se sienta valorado, aceptado y apoyado.<\/p><p>Los ni\u00f1os se sienten atra\u00eddos de forma natural por las relaciones en las que se sienten verdaderamente queridos. Al demostrarles amor y apoyo de manera constante, ayudas a fomentar la confianza y la resiliencia.<\/p><p>En definitiva, centra tu energ\u00eda en aquello sobre lo que puedes influir \u2014tu relaci\u00f3n con tu hijo\u2014 y deja que eso sea la base que le sirva de apoyo en las situaciones dif\u00edciles.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this excerpt, Dr. Kevin Skinner explains how to support a child who has a narcissistic parent.

\u00bfC\u00f3mo puedo ayudarla?<\/p><p>Me gusta mucho esa pregunta. Estamos viendo muchos casos as\u00ed en este momento: personas de la tercera edad que se preguntan: \u201c\u00bfA d\u00f3nde voy a ir?\u201d.\u201d<\/p><p>Quiero analizar esto desde una perspectiva relacional. Cuando los adolescentes se enfrentan a estas decisiones, a menudo surge cierta ansiedad por la separaci\u00f3n. Preguntas como: \u00bfMe atrevo a irme de casa? \u00bfPodr\u00e9 soportar estar lejos de mi familia?<\/p><p>Algunos adolescentes est\u00e1n deseando irse, mientras que otros se muestran m\u00e1s indecisos. Ambas reacciones son normales.<\/p><p>Cuando tu hijo tenga dificultades para tomar una decisi\u00f3n, me gusta recurrir a un ejercicio sencillo. P\u00eddele que reserve unos 30 minutos \u2014aunque se puede hacer en tan solo 10\u2014 y que escriba todo lo que se le ocurra sobre lo que le gustar\u00eda hacer despu\u00e9s de la secundaria. No hay respuestas correctas ni incorrectas.<\/p><p>A continuaci\u00f3n, p\u00eddeles que clasifiquen esas opciones de m\u00e1s atractiva a menos atractiva. Esto les ayuda a empezar a organizar sus ideas y prioridades.<\/p><p>A continuaci\u00f3n, p\u00eddeles que, para cada una de las opciones principales, escriban dos cosas: qu\u00e9 es lo que les entusiasma de ella y qu\u00e9 temores les suscita.<\/p><p>Este proceso ayuda a aclarar las cosas. Les permite definir y ordenar lo que sienten y piensan.<\/p><p>Al priorizar sus opciones, est\u00e1n identificando de forma natural lo que m\u00e1s les importa. Y al explorar tanto la emoci\u00f3n como el miedo, est\u00e1n conectando con sus emociones de una manera significativa.<\/p><p>Este sencillo ejercicio suele aportarles la claridad que necesitan para seguir adelante con una decisi\u00f3n importante.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this excerpt, Dr. Kevin Skinner offers a simple, practical approach to help teens navigate post\u2013high school decisions.

empiecen a salir en pareja a una edad tan temprana?<\/p><p>Define \u201cjoven\u201d.\u201d<\/p><p>Te lo pregunto porque no puedo responder completamente a la pregunta sin entender qu\u00e9 significa \u201csalir con alguien\u201d en este contexto. Salir con alguien a una edad temprana podr\u00eda significar aprender a relacionarse socialmente, o bien estar en una relaci\u00f3n exclusiva que implique un v\u00ednculo f\u00edsico y emocional.<\/p><p>S\u00ed, eso puede ser arriesgado, pero no tiene por qu\u00e9 serlo. Si simplemente estoy interactuando con alguien que me interesa, \u00bfeso es salir con alguien? Primero tenemos que definir qu\u00e9 significa realmente \u00absalir con alguien\u00bb.<\/p><p>\u00bfPasan los adolescentes demasiado tiempo a solas entre ellos? Eso podr\u00eda ser motivo de preocupaci\u00f3n. Pero otro factor importante es que los ni\u00f1os necesitan desarrollar habilidades sociales. Necesitan interactuar de manera positiva.<\/p><p>Esto es muy diferente de cuando era m\u00e1s joven. Seg\u00fan la investigaci\u00f3n de Jean Twenge en su libro <em>iGen<\/em> indica que esta generaci\u00f3n, en realidad, tiene menos relaciones sexuales que las generaciones anteriores. Los adolescentes de hoy en d\u00eda tienden m\u00e1s a pasar tiempo con sus padres que con sus compa\u00f1eros.<\/p><p>Soy un firme defensor de ayudar a los j\u00f3venes a desarrollar habilidades sociales. Las situaciones individuales pueden ser diferentes, pero aprender a comunicarse, mantener conversaciones significativas y desenvolverse en las interacciones sociales es algo incre\u00edblemente valioso.<\/p><p>Debemos ayudarles a comprender cu\u00e1les son los l\u00edmites adecuados y a afrontar los miedos que suelen acompa\u00f1ar a las relaciones sentimentales, especialmente la preocupaci\u00f3n por la actividad sexual.<\/p><p>Un enfoque m\u00e1s eficaz consiste en ense\u00f1arles a conocerse mejor a s\u00ed mismos, ayudarles a establecer l\u00edmites saludables y desarrollar habilidades para entablar relaciones significativas.<\/p><p>A largo plazo, centrarse en estas habilidades probablemente tendr\u00e1 un impacto mucho mayor que limitarse a establecer reglas r\u00edgidas sobre cu\u00e1ndo pueden o no pueden salir con alguien. Fomentar las actividades en grupo, la interacci\u00f3n social y las habilidades de comunicaci\u00f3n dar\u00e1 lugar a resultados m\u00e1s positivos con el tiempo.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this excerpt, Dr. Kevin Skinner discusses whether teens should date at a young age, emphasizing that the definition of \u201cdating\u201d matters.

corte?<\/p><p>Esta es una situaci\u00f3n muy angustiante para la mayor\u00eda de los padres. Si tu hijo se est\u00e1 autolesionando, es normal preguntarse: \u00bfsignifica esto que tiene tendencias suicidas? \u00bfC\u00f3mo debo interpretar esto?<\/p><p>Lo primero que hay que tener en cuenta es que la mayor\u00eda de los adolescentes \u2014e incluso los adultos\u2014 que se autolesionan est\u00e1n pasando por un enorme sufrimiento emocional. A menudo, esto va acompa\u00f1ado de un alto nivel de ansiedad.<\/p><p>En muchos casos, las autolesiones son una forma en que el cuerpo intenta lidiar con esa ansiedad. Pueden aliviar temporalmente el malestar emocional al transformarlo en una sensaci\u00f3n f\u00edsica. Algunas personas incluso experimentan una breve liberaci\u00f3n de sustancias qu\u00edmicas o una \u201coleada\u201d de energ\u00eda, lo que puede adormecer su dolor emocional durante un breve lapso.<\/p><p>Es importante comprender que la mayor\u00eda de las personas que se autolesionan no est\u00e1n tratando de quitarse la vida. Lo m\u00e1s habitual es que est\u00e9n tratando de lidiar con una ansiedad abrumadora. Esa distinci\u00f3n es importante.<\/p><p>Entonces, la siguiente pregunta es: \u00bfc\u00f3mo podemos ayudarles a controlar esa ansiedad?<\/p><p>Un enfoque \u00fatil consiste en ense\u00f1arle al cuerpo a calmarse. Esto implica activar el nervio vago, que ayuda a regular la conexi\u00f3n entre el cerebro y el cuerpo y act\u00faa como un \u201cfreno\u201d para la ansiedad.<\/p><p>Un m\u00e9todo sencillo, conocido a veces como \u201cel ejercicio b\u00e1sico\u201d, consiste en girar suavemente la cabeza hacia la derecha y hacia la izquierda y mantener esas posiciones hasta que se produzca una respuesta natural, como un bostezo o un trago de saliva. Esto puede ayudar a activar el sistema de relajaci\u00f3n del cuerpo.<\/p><p>Practicar t\u00e9cnicas como esta con regularidad puede ayudar a su hijo a sentirse m\u00e1s centrado, relajado y en control de sus emociones.<\/p><p>Piensa en la ansiedad como un termostato que est\u00e1 demasiado alto. Nuestro objetivo es ayudar a bajarlo a un nivel m\u00e1s manejable para que tu hijo no se sienta abrumado.<\/p><p>En definitiva, queremos ense\u00f1ar habilidades que ayuden a regular las emociones y a reducir la necesidad de recurrir a las autolesiones como mecanismo de defensa.<\/p><p>Tambi\u00e9n es importante informarse, buscar recursos y, si el comportamiento persiste, acudir a un profesional de la salud mental calificado. El apoyo profesional puede garantizar que su hijo reciba las herramientas y la atenci\u00f3n que necesita.<\/p><p>Lo m\u00e1s importante es que te acerques a tu hijo con compasi\u00f3n y comprensi\u00f3n. No est\u00e1 tratando de hacerte da\u00f1o, sino de lidiar con algo que le resulta abrumador.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this excerpt, Dr. Kevin Skinner explains that self-harm, such as cutting, is often a response to overwhelming emotional pain and anxiety rather than a desire to die.

hijo?<\/p><p>En primer lugar, debemos identificar los valores fundamentales y ayudar a nuestros hijos a descubrir qu\u00e9 es lo que m\u00e1s les importa. Por ejemplo, entre esos valores pueden figurar tener amistades significativas, ayudar a los dem\u00e1s, ser amable o mostrar responsabilidad c\u00edvica.<\/p><p>La clave es que muchos de nosotros no nos tomamos el tiempo para reflexionar sobre nuestros propios valores fundamentales. Por eso, un buen punto de partida es simplemente preguntarnos: \u00bfqu\u00e9 es lo que m\u00e1s me importa? \u00bfEs la libertad? \u00bfLas relaciones? \u00bfLa familia? \u00bfLos logros?<\/p><p>Una vez que identificamos un valor, el siguiente paso es preguntarnos por qu\u00e9 es importante. Si un ni\u00f1o dice: \u201cLa familia es lo m\u00e1s importante\u201d, podemos preguntarle: \u201c\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 es importante la familia para ti?\u201d. Esa pregunta le ayuda a conectar m\u00e1s profundamente con sus valores.<\/p><p>En realidad, este proceso se basa en la autorreflexi\u00f3n y la curiosidad. Al plantear preguntas reflexivas, ayudamos a los ni\u00f1os a comprenderse mejor a s\u00ed mismos y a expresar lo que les importa.<\/p><p>Tambi\u00e9n es importante observar c\u00f3mo es tu hijo. \u00bfQu\u00e9 rasgos muestra de forma natural? \u00bfQu\u00e9 es lo que le importa? Cuando notes comportamientos positivos \u2014como la amabilidad, la atenci\u00f3n o el deseo de ayudar a los dem\u00e1s\u2014, se\u00f1\u00e1lalos y refu\u00e9rzalos.<\/p><p>Por ejemplo, podr\u00edas decir: \u201cMe encanta c\u00f3mo te preocupas por los dem\u00e1s y c\u00f3mo animas a la gente. Es una cualidad maravillosa\u201d.\u201d<\/p><p>Al reconocer y reforzar deliberadamente estos rasgos, ayudas a tu hijo a interiorizar esos valores.<\/p><p>En definitiva, ense\u00f1ar valores no consiste tanto en decirles a los ni\u00f1os qu\u00e9 deben creer, sino m\u00e1s bien en ayudarlos a descubrir, expresar y poner en pr\u00e1ctica lo que m\u00e1s les importa.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this excerpt, Dr. Kevin Skinner explains that teaching values begins with self-reflection and meaningful conversations.

y cu\u00e1l es la mejor manera de abordarlos?<\/p><p>En estos momentos nos enfrentamos a un desaf\u00edo cultural muy real: la dismorfia corporal. Nos cuesta mucho entender c\u00f3mo es realmente un cuerpo \u201cnormal\u201d.<\/p><p>Como sociedad, en general pesamos m\u00e1s que en el pasado. Pero cuando alguien dice: \u201cEstoy gordo\u201d, debemos preguntarnos: \u00bfde d\u00f3nde viene esa percepci\u00f3n? \u00bfQu\u00e9 determina esa creencia?<\/p><p>\u00bfC\u00f3mo definimos si alguien tiene sobrepeso? \u00bfCon qu\u00e9 nos comparamos?<\/p><p>Las investigaciones han demostrado que tanto los hombres como las mujeres que ven pornograf\u00eda tienden a tener m\u00e1s problemas con su imagen corporal. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9? Porque se comparan con im\u00e1genes poco realistas y muy retocadas que no reflejan la vida real.<\/p><p>Si ese tipo de contenido influye en la percepci\u00f3n, \u00bfqu\u00e9 pasa entonces con la televisi\u00f3n, las redes sociales o plataformas como TikTok, que muestran constantemente determinados tipos de cuerpo? Cuando alguien no se ajusta a esas im\u00e1genes, puede empezar a creer que hay algo mal en s\u00ed mismo.<\/p><p>Por eso es tan importante ayudar a nuestros hijos a comprender c\u00f3mo es una versi\u00f3n saludable de s\u00ed mismos.<\/p><p>Quiz\u00e1 ser\u00eda mejor preguntarse: \u00bfqu\u00e9 te gustar\u00eda que tu cuerpo pudiera hacer y que ahora mismo no puede? Por ejemplo: \u201cMe gustar\u00eda correr una milla\u201d o \u201cMe gustar\u00eda correr una carrera de 5 km\u201d. Genial, entrenemos para eso.<\/p><p>Esto desplaza el enfoque hacia la acci\u00f3n y el crecimiento, en lugar de hacia la comparaci\u00f3n.<\/p><p>Lo mismo ocurre con la alimentaci\u00f3n. No cambiamos nuestra dieta solo para bajar de peso, ya que ese enfoque rara vez funciona a largo plazo. En cambio, nos enfocamos en mejorar nuestra salud. Ese cambio de mentalidad es mucho m\u00e1s efectivo.<\/p><p>Cuando un ni\u00f1o expresa inquietudes sobre su cuerpo, a menudo esto refleja una creencia m\u00e1s profunda: sentimientos de insuficiencia, como \u201cno soy como los dem\u00e1s\u201d o \u201calgo anda mal en m\u00ed\u201d. Eso es lo que realmente debemos abordar.<\/p><p>Preg\u00fantales de d\u00f3nde viene esa creencia. \u00bfCreen que es cierta? \u00bfPor qu\u00e9? \u00bfY c\u00f3mo puedes apoyarlos?<\/p><p>No porque est\u00e9s de acuerdo con la cr\u00edtica, sino porque quieres que se sienta bien consigo mismo. Hazle saber a tu hijo que es importante para ti.<\/p><p>En mi experiencia profesional, he visto lo perjudicial que puede ser que los padres critiquen el f\u00edsico de sus hijos: los comentarios sobre el peso, la apariencia o los h\u00e1bitos alimenticios pueden generar un sentimiento de insuficiencia que perdura en el tiempo.<\/p><p>Podemos hacerlo mejor. Podemos dar ejemplo con h\u00e1bitos saludables, ofrecer alimentos nutritivos y comunicarnos de manera comprensiva.<\/p><p>Lo m\u00e1s importante es que queremos que nuestros hijos sepan que los queremos, que nos preocupamos por ellos y que los apoyaremos ante cualquier desaf\u00edo que enfrenten.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this excerpt, Dr. Kevin Skinner explains how body image issues in boys are often shaped by cultural influences and unrealistic comparisons.

m\u00edo, \u00a1bienvenido al club: Adolescelandia! Asumo que esas son las respuestas que est\u00e1s obteniendo: \u201cbien\u201d, \u201cnormal\u201d, \u201cok\u201d.<\/p><p>Un enfoque \u00fatil es hacer preguntas m\u00e1s abiertas. Por ejemplo: \u201cNecesito tu opini\u00f3n sobre algo, \u00bfqu\u00e9 piensas de esto?\u201d Eso los invita a unirse a la conversaci\u00f3n.<\/p><p>Tambi\u00e9n podr\u00edas preguntar: \u201c\u00bfQu\u00e9 fue lo m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil que pas\u00f3 hoy en la escuela? \u00bfY lo m\u00e1s divertido?\u201d O, \u201c\u00bfPas\u00f3 algo interesante o divertido hoy?\u201d<\/p><p>Este tipo de preguntas son m\u00e1s dif\u00edciles de responder con una sola palabra.<\/p><p>Ahora, incluso si obtienes una respuesta de una sola palabra como \u201cnop\u201d, puedes jugar un poco con ella. Por ejemplo: \u201c\u00bfEn serio? \u00bfNo pas\u00f3 nada interesante hoy? \u00bfLa escuela es tan aburrida?\u201d. Mantenlo ligero y juguet\u00f3n.<\/p><p>Entonces puedes acotarlo: \u201cEst\u00e1 bien, dame solo una cosa: algo que aprendiste, algo que escuchaste o algo de lo que hablaste con tus amigos. Tengo curiosidad por una sola cosa.\u201d<\/p><p>La clave es mantenerte involucrado y curioso, e incluso un poco juguet\u00f3n. Si te dicen \u201cbien\u201d, podr\u00edas responder: \u201c\u00bfQu\u00e9 significa \u201dbien', qu\u00e9 significa 'bien' para ti?\".\u201d<\/p><p>No est\u00e1s interrogando, est\u00e1s invitando. Al mantener un tono ligero y mostrar curiosidad genuina, creas un espacio donde es m\u00e1s probable que tu hijo se abra y comparta.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this excerpt, Dr. Kevin Skinner explains how to move beyond one-word responses from teens by using open-ended questions, curiosity, and playful engagement to encourage more meaningful conversations.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9841,"featured_media":82371,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"iawp_total_views":4},"categories":[318,227,230,222],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82351","ask-a-therapist","type-ask-a-therapist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ask-a-therapist-live","category-behavior","category-general-self-help","category-parent-support"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
