Adolescence Demands Mature Guidance from Fathers: Maritchu Seitún's Statement
In the spirit of Mario Benedetti, let's tackle the tough questions about growing up in a world that's part consumption, part mystery. Maritchu Seituán, the esteemed Spanish author and educator, has dedicated her career to understanding the complexities of adolescence and family dynamics. From guiding young minds to fostering empathy, her work is a beacon for those navigating the challenges of today's world.
Recently, she unveiled her latest masterpiece, "Raising with Empathy in Adolescence." The book was presented at the Universidad del Salvador, where educators, parents, and scholars gathered for an enlightening discussion. The atmosphere was filled with insightful reflections and meaningful conversations about the intricacies of adolescence.
Seituán's passion for adolescent development didn't just happen overnight. She spent years observing, analyzing, and speaking about upbringing and family bonds. In the process, she led workshops, held talks, and coordinated child and adolescent psychology teams at the Centro Médico Domingo Savio in San Isidro.
The journey to writing this book was a gradual one, as she found herself constantly jotting down thoughts and ideas about adolescence that resonated with her. Eventually, she compiled these writings and structured them into a coherent narrative, creating a valuable resource for parents navigating the complex landscape of their children's fledgling adulthood.
But "Raising with Empathy in Adolescence" isn't her only foray into the world of empathy. In her previous book, "Raising with Empathy: How to Guide Our Children to a Happy Autonomy," she delved deeper into the concept of empathy in the context of parent-child relationships.
So, what is empathy exactly? Seituán describes it as the elixir of life, essential in upbringing and communication. By truly understanding another person's feelings and situation, we can create more meaningful connections and navigate our relationships more effectively.
In today's world, this skill has become even more vital. In a world dominated by algorithms and consumerism, empathy can provide a much-needed antidote to shallow interactions and selfish motivations. By fostering empathy in our children, we equip them with the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly interconnected world.
Yet Seituán's concern doesn't stop at the difficulties of adolescence. She also acknowledges the challenges parents face in today's society, where consumerism and busy schedules can make it easy to lose sight of what truly matters. This is why she continues to advocate for emotional intelligence, empathy, and social responsibility in her work.
In the end, parenting boils down to finding the perfect balance between authority and understanding. It's about setting clear boundaries while still being open to communication and empathy. Seituán, now a grandmother, writes passionately about the importance of this balance in "Raising with Empathy in Adolescence."
As the buzzing streets of Buenos Aires stand in stark contrast to the silent auditoriums where Seituán shares her insights, it becomes clear that her work is not just about helping adolescents; it's about helping families grow stronger, clearer, and more empathetic. And in a world that can sometimes seem cold and distant, that's a goal worth striving for.
