She lives in a shelter<br \/>\nwho takes in orphans. She is currently enrolled in a school and<br \/>\nbegins her first year of elementary school.<\/p>\n<p>Aissatou is still too young to think about the future and<br \/>\nask what she is called to do in life. And even if it<br \/>\nhappened that she asks herself this question, this question would unfortunately remain without<br \/>\nan answer.&nbsp; Why, because it<br \/>\nlacks an essential ingredient, a family in which to discover oneself,<br \/>\nto grow and flourish.<\/p>\n<p>How is the personality of a child built, how does this<br \/>\npersonality evolves to make this child an adult who will have reached his or her<br \/>\nfull potential on all levels, emotional, professional and family, (<em>3 John 1,2&nbsp;: \u00ab<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/topbible.topchretien.com\/3jean.1.2\/LSG\/\"><em>Beloved,<br \/>\n I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even<br \/>\n as your soul prospers.<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;\u00bb<\/em>)?<br \/>\nBy feeding our heart and soul with good ingredients; protection,<br \/>\nrespect, love and listening; and of course do not forget physical needs<br \/>\nwhich are to eat, drink, dress and receive an education<br \/>\nadequate.<\/p>\n<p>Innate or acquired, personality?<\/p>\n<p>In fact personality is a concept that is innate and<br \/>\nacquired. It is the sum of the temperament, which is innate and the behaviors and<br \/>\nlifestyle habits, which are acquired. Every person inherits a temperament<br \/>\ngiven at birth and the latter is the cement on which his<br \/>\npersonality, depending on his family environment, his context<br \/>\nculture and educational environment. Normally a person will have a<br \/>\nbalanced personality, i.e. which allows cohesion between the<br \/>\ntemperament and life habits and behavior, if the three spaces in<br \/>\nwhich the child is developing work together to teach the child <strong><em><br \/>\nto know itself<\/em><\/strong>, <strong>to know<br \/>\n the limits<\/strong> and <strong><em> to be built according to the temperament<\/em><\/strong> that he owns.<\/p>\n<p>Aissatou needs people who will teach her to<br \/>\ndiscover her strengths, weaknesses, skills and talents. She<br \/>\nneeds to play, to take risks, to venture on trails<br \/>\nthat she has never explored before and all these things she can only do<br \/>\nunder the protective and encouraging gaze of an adult who surrounds her with his<br \/>\nlove.&nbsp; The absence of this loving framework,<br \/>\nencouraging and protective deprives Aissatou of the support that is essential to her<br \/>\nto have access to all these resources that God has placed in her life.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed Aissatou was born with incredible gifts and talents<br \/>\nthat God gave her from the moment of her conception. She has a destiny<br \/>\nto accomplish, a mission that only she can do.&nbsp; Only it is necessary that she be<br \/>\noriented, guided towards this destiny by people who will see this potential<br \/>\nand declare it, proclaim it, remind her every time she will<br \/>\nfeel discouraged. The Bible says that God prepared works beforehand to<br \/>\nus to accomplish them. And to do this, we have to call on<br \/>\nthose unsuspected treasures that every human being possesses.<\/p>\n<p>The risk involved if the identity remains a mystery is<br \/>\ngoing through life with this feeling of being in the wrong place every moment; of<br \/>\nspend your life with this discomfort and feel like you&#8217;re missing something.<br \/>\nAnd depending on the level of lack that the child has experienced, the consequences<br \/>\ncan be more serious and lead him to the street later as is the case<br \/>\nwith the many young people who live on the streets of Montreal and Yaounde. The common point<br \/>\nthat all these young people have, they have experienced non-facilitating situations in their<br \/>\nchilhood<\/p>\n<p>So to become the extraordinary person that God<br \/>\ncalled to be, you need to discover your identity, not the one created<br \/>\nby your family, your environment and your educational environment, but the<br \/>\none with which you were born, which God gave you from the beginning. And to<br \/>\nappropriate this identity, you need a loving and reassuring framework,<br \/>\nyou need God and a community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How is the personality of a child built, how this personality evolves to make this child an adult who will have reached his full potential on all levels, emotional, professional and family<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3111,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[123,124,122,121],"class_list":["post-3392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-heal-the-soul","tag-discover-its-identity","tag-potential","tag-self-discovery","tag-where-do-street-kids-come-from"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fesiorg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fesiorg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fesiorg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fesiorg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fesiorg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3392"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/fesiorg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3392\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3435,"href":"https:\/\/fesiorg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3392\/revisions\/3435"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fesiorg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fesiorg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fesiorg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fesiorg.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
