It is clear that the role of the father is changing, they are increasingly involved in the care, education, food and general welfare of the children.
Through the story of José Carlos, a “motherly father” who lives in Lima, Peru, we want to make a kind of tribute to a new generation of parents that we are seeing emerge.
He is a happy father of 3 boys. Joaquín, 12 years with dyslexia and related, Oscar, 7, with symptoms of hyperactivity with attention deficit and indigo child characteristics, both with food allergies; and Gabriel, a beautiful 19-month-old baby, expects "normal."
The singularities of the children and the work of his wife force José Carlos to take care and dedicate himself almost all day to his three children.
Your hectic day starts at 5 in the morning. Wake up the boys and the four leave (the baby in his cart) to run 2 to 3 km daily and to exercise. Integral breakfast for all four. The elders attend college and he attends early stimulation classes of the Doman method with the little one.
In the afternoon, the little one to the nursery and he to his work to return at night to take care of the bathrooms, food and to put the children to bed together with his wife.
This new facet of his life led him to put together a kind of manual he is preparing on the "Raising of male children, for male parents" and to give talks in schools with the intention of guiding other parents on the path of a more communicative education for your children.
In his handbook, whose chapters will be delivered on his website PapásMaternales, he says that "maternal male parents are a species in extinction, because there will come a day when we are no longer very necessary to form a family, from insemination, nests, nurseries , kangaroo moms, wawa-wasis (in Quechua, "children's house"), even autonomous mothers and marriages between women ... where will the parents stay? I don't want to imagine it and I don't want to be there to see it. "
Let me tell you José Carlos that maternal parents, far from being an endangered species are, fortunately for mothers and children, an extended species, and I hope that in a rapid extension.
