And We Begin!

Hello! My name is Brianna Hilario and it may be my first time blogging but, I have so many experiences to share! We will find that life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain. This blog is for my family relations class and I will be sharing my insights on what this class has to teach me.

Start While They're Young

-
While your children are growing up there are things that they need that we may not realize. As a parent, it's important to focus on what your child should or should not do. Or how you want your child to appear to the world. While those things are good, there can also be a side that can limit your child. Let me break it down for you.  One thing a child and teenager in fact needs is contact and a sense of belonging. Though there may be times when your child seems like they don't want to be touched. If there is a lack of that connection that's when many tend to act in other ways to get your attention. The attention is what gives us a good relationship with them. It's important that we keep them from having undone attention seeking which is when they will do anything good or bad to get your attention. Something that was discussed in my class that I thought was interesting was that there are times when some families don't really like the contact. I know my family is like...

Are You Ready for the Married Life?

-
You're either at the point where marriage is far from your mind, or marriage is the only thing on your mind. Marriage may seem fun and don't get me wrong you'll have those fun moments for the rest of your life! But there are also a lot of things that are not considered.  Two things that are most important to realize when it comes to marriage are cost and commitments.  The cost to get married can range depending on how, where, and when you get married. A typical wedding would cost about $15k and usually goes up from there. Something to recognize is that you don't need a big wedding. The big question to ask yourself is do you really need a $40k wedding? One thing to take into consideration is that it doesn't matter the cost or how big you have it. In fact, something that might just be nice is to have family there celebrating with you. I know most girls have had their dream wedding planned since they were 6 but it's more about who you want to spend the rest of your...

Your Hard Work Will Pay Off

-
Most of us go through hard work. Whether it may be a job, doing a project, helping out someone, or just taking on each day. It's important we recognize those things because it's our efforts that make us who we are. Anything we do is worth the celebration and there isn't a reason to not. Someone once told me that hard work is important and it's the effort no matter how big or small, that's what makes us, us. For one being a parent is hard already. You get up every morning, get the kids ready, drop off people where they are needed, then take on your day. Day by day I know that there are times when you question your efforts. You feel like the day is repeating and you don't know how to stop it. You try something new and try to take on a new perspective. I may not be a parent but as a student, there are days when it feels like that. But it's important that even if nobody tells you, you are doing the best possible thing.  Personally, there are times when I feel li...
