Fatherhood is very much alike helping your kid climb a ladder, but this ladder is a huge tall one that goes up into the sky, so tall that you can't see where it ends.

First, you help your little kid to shyly step into the ladder, with his trembling little hands he grabs the ladder with all his strenght, fearing to fall. Then gaining confidence, he starts climbing, knowing that you are holding him, no matter what.

But there is a decisive moment when the kid is climbing so high, that you can not reach him from the floor. Slowly he releases off from you, and climbs higher and higher, until you can not protect him anymore and he is totally on his own.

Fatherhood is two steps, is teaching your own how to climb the ladder and then being wise and strong enough for letting go....


La paternidad se parece mucho a enseñar a tu hijo a subir por una escalera, pero esta es calera es muuuy alta, tan alta que sube hasta el cielo, tan alta que no podés ver donde termina.

Primero, ayudás a tu pequeño a que tímidamente pose su pie en la escalera, con su mano temblorosa él poco a poco toma la escalera y con todas las fuerzas se sujeta a ella, temiendo caer. Después, va ganando confianza y entonces empieza a trepar entusiasmado, pero sabiendo que no importa lo que pase, vos estás sujetándolo.

Pero hay un momento decisivo en que el chico está trepando tan alto, que yo lo podés alcanzar desde el piso. Lentamente y casi sin darse cuenta, él se suelta de vos, y trepa más y más alto, hasta que ya no lo podés proteger y se tiene que valer por sí solo.

La paternidad se compone de dos pasos, el primero es enseñar a tu hijo como trepar la escalera. El segundo, ser lo suficientemente sabio y fuerte cómo para dejarlo ir por su cuenta...
