Am I a good parent?

JeanPhilippe_Jobin 2016-09-12

I am lucky: I was born in a place where we have water and food everyday, where no war is devastating our people and most of all where freedom also means that everybody has the same chance for happiness and success at the beginning of his/her life.

My life could have been completely different if I was born in another country. But when I think of it, no matter how lucky I was to be born in Canada, what really makes the difference in who I am and what I have accomplished so far is my parents' education. And now that I have kids myself (Alice is 2 and Laurent is 3 months), I wonder how my parents managed to do such a great job with us?

Our mission at Robotiq is to "Free Human Hands". To free human hands from repetitive tasks in order to give them the freedom to think, to create, to innovate. I ask myself: "Am I a good parent? Do I free my kids' hands enough?"

Any comments or suggestions for the new parent that I am are welcome. How do you free your children's hands?

On my side I try to keep my kids little hands as busy as possible on creative and tangible stuff! And just like our parents did, I try to put good values in their mind and heart so they do good stuff when make their own decisions.

Let the little hands get dirty, be it playing, exploring, creating. Dirt washes off, the learning and experience stays!
