A happy child makes a lot of noise!
If your children play, make noise and even bother you with their movements … they are happy! Do not restrict their happiness.
If you think that a child to be happy must be sitting, quiet and obeying everything that is said … you will be very wrong! Children do not need to be quiet all the time without playing … they need to move, play, jump, pester and above all, make noise! If your child doesn’t do all of these things, then you should start to worry that he may be an unhappy child.
If you want to raise your children and have them really smile because they are happy, then you will have to know that you will have to enjoy their noises. There may be days when the noise irritates you more than necessary or if it does not stop talking and does not let you listen to the news, you will get nervous, but in reality, that is part of its development and should not restrict those characteristics that indicate that your children are happy.

LET THEM MAKE NOISE
You do not want to have a quiet house with small children because that is not going to happen. Happiness in children has nothing to do with having more things or getting better grades in school, far from it! Happiness in children is directly related to the experiences they live, because if they make noise … it means they are alive and healthy! Children need to live experiences through play, spend quality time with family, with their friends … enjoy life in the present moment.
If your child makes noise it means that he is really happy and just that, he should put a smile on your face. Can you imagine your child suddenly sitting on the couch all day sad and listless without wanting to do anything? You would probably freak out because that is not normal behavior for a young child … and you would take him to the pediatrician to see if he is sick.
It is possible that if your child goes a day without making a lot of noise you begin to suspect that he is incubating a virus and that he will soon fall ill … because if he is healthy he will make noise to play and have fun! Playing is a must and noise is normal in all games. Children need to play to learn, to make mistakes, to rehearse in their reality, to increase their creativity and to begin to interact with the world in which they live.
IF HE DOES NOT OBEY YOU, IT IS NOT BAD EITHER
If your child does not obey you all the time it is not a bad thing, it means that he is creating his own identity and that he has his own criteria. What matters in any case is that you always have rules and limits at home, with well-established consequences so that your child feels in control of his actions and takes responsibility for them. This way you will know that if you decide not to comply with specific rules, you will have to bear the consequences of having acted in that particular way.
As adults, we actually live in a half-asleep world, where we don’t want anyone to bother us or take us out of our comfort zone. But the reality is that it is the adult world that must change its way of perceiving the world to adapt to the reality of children.
LEARN FROM CHILDREN
Adults must learn more from children and let ourselves be carried away by how they see the world and how they enjoy their present. Children who make noise is because they are enjoying their present, because they are learning and playing with pleasure. Why can’t adults do the same to enjoy daily happiness? You have to wake up and learn from children!
Adults have the need to be in control in every way and with children around, this is not possible! Learning to enjoy childhood chaos is a luxury that not all parents dare to do, at least occasionally … But once they enjoy this chaos, the game and their children … they realize how important it is, for everyone.
Parents need to remember that a good education does not have to be at odds with their children’s play and happiness … making noise! Free play is also good behavior and children must learn that there are rules, limits and enjoy the game with this also in mind. Allow your children to experiment with their environment and enhance all their abilities .
