Ibinahagi ni Paolo Valenciano kasama ang kaniyang wife na si Sam Godinez ang kanilang parenting style sa kanilang anak.
Paolo Valenciano and his wife, Sam Godinez
Si Paolo Valenciano ay ang panganay na anak ng singer-songwriter na si Garry Valenciano at mas kilala bilang si Mr. Pure Energy. Marami ang naging role ni Paolo sa entertainment industry. Nagsimula siya bilang isang metal singer sa kanyang bandang 'Salamin.'
Pagkatapos nito, nakitaan rin siya ng potensyal sa pagiging theater actor. At ngayon nga ay sinubukan na rin niya ang maging director ng live events at iba't-ibang concert.
Sa aming official interview kay Paolo Valenciano, ibinahagi nito ang naging unang tagpo nila ng kaniyang wife na si Sam Godinez.
Dati pa lamang ay magkakilala na sila dahil parehong business partner ang kanilang mga magulang. Nagsimula silang magka 'something' sa isa't-isa nang mapagkalaman silang may 'romantic relationship' ng isa niyang kamag-anak.
Ayon kay Paolo,
"We were at a wake. We were just friends and one of her uncles asked her if I was her boyfriend. I think we both puked in our mouths a little bit. A few seconds later, the bitter taste became sweet. Very sweet. About a minute after, it felt like a few hundred butterflies in my stomach at that point. I left immediately and called up a friend. “Uhm, I think I like Sam Godinez”
Ibinahagi naman si Sam na binibigyan siya nito ng letter na may picture nila noong bata pa lamang ng asawa. Nagsisimula na rin silang lumabas at magkita paminsan-minsan. Nagustuhan rin ni Sam ang kwelang personality ni Paolo.
"I really married a best friend that Im attracted to. Not a lot of people have that."
Taong 2013 nang sila ay inikasal. Dito rin sila nagkaroon ng kanilang unang única hija na si baby Nataleia Martine.
Paolo and Sam parenting style
Para kay Daddy Paolo, ang kaniyang asawang si Mommy Sam ay sobrang maalaga na ina para sa kanilang anak. Lahat ay inaaalala nito para maging mabuti ang isang tagpo. Aminado naman siya na straight forward siyang dad para kay baby Nataleia.
Isa pang nagustuhan rin ni Mommy Sam sa kanyang asawa ay ang pagiging malapit nito sa lahat ng bata. Kumbaga, siya ang 'favorite' ng lahat.
"He has a heart of a child and will play with them on their level. He’s the fun dad/tito but will put his foot down if he must. I actually never had experience being nurturing if that makes sense? I was always afraid of carrying a baby with a soft head or never really had the patience to be with kids too long. Hahahah I think when Leia was born she just gave me purpose and the mother in me woke up."
Katulad ng ibang magulang, sila rin ay paminsan-minsang hindi nagkakasundo. Pareho kasi silang may ibang desisyon. Ngunit sa kabila nito, alam nila na ang parenting ay isinasagawa bilang 'Team' at kailangan nilang magtulungan para sa kanilang anak.
Para kay Daddy Paolo, ipinapagdasal niya lagi na magkaroon ng magandang kinabukasan ang kaniyang anak at lumaki ito ng mabuti. Kinukumbinsi rin niya ang kanilang kasama sa bahay na kausapin ng 'Tagalog' si baby Nataleia.
"Entitlement is one thing that I loathe. I told Sam that she can be whatever the heck she wants when she grows up. But the one thing I pray for is that she grows up to be a good person. I want her to focus on the important things. We encourage our helpers to speak to her in Filipino."
Kapag nagkakaroon naman ng tantrums ang kanilang anak, aminado siyang hindi niya tinotolerate ito. Hindi niya binibigay ang gusto ng kaniyang anak. Ipinapaliwanag rin niya kung bakit hindi lahat ng bagay ay kailangan niyang makuha.
"We teach her how to clean, how to cook, how to share food with her friends and her friends Yaya’s. And when there are tantrums, we don’t give her what she wants. I don’t want her to grow up thinking that she is a “star” or that she deserves something because of her name."
Ayaw rin nitong lumaki ang kaniyang anak na siya ay 'star' o makukuha niya ang lahat ng kaniyang gusto dahil sa pangalan nito.
