Who are you as a parent or caregiver? The butterfly metaphor applies or is directly linked with parenting. What are the implications of this comparison as a parent in your child's life?


Let's analyze this analogy!


Parents are magnificent human beings, create a precise and pleasing image as a caregiver, carries affection, perpetually concentrate on the excellence of the relationship and bring a variety of fabrications in the scene, radiate varying tones and intensities of joy and happiness. Parents or caregivers, try to convey perseverance, transition, growth, maturation and hope for their children. The most significant aspect is that parents invariably hook with the strength and positivity of a child (flower) and sustain excellence and harmony to the ambience always and anyways


Being a parent or a butterfly, let's analyze this resemblance and connection!


  • Butterflies are beautiful and stunning: The butterfly analogy applies to the parent-child relationship, which means the parent-child connection or attachment is as artistic or beautiful as a butterfly. Parent's behaviour, communication and practices are the sources of excellence for children. The children will eternally recognize the excellence and express attachment, even at some point in their life when parents are not present in their life. Although the child becomes a parent however would acknowledge and appreciate that magnificence 

  • Butterflies have a bunch of tones and tints: A butterfly appears in a variety of tones and tints. This metaphor represents the parent-child relationship, for instance, parenting itself progresses with a variety of strategies and components (one size does not fit all). It is being said that parenting is full of tones and tints that represent various themes and connections

  • Butterflies invariably track a flower: Butterflies constantly track a flower as compared to the other flying insects. The flowers are the attraction of the scene. Parents invariably focus on the child's strengths, abilities and track his or her positivity just like a butterfly, who always tracks or sits on a flower, not garbage. This way parents help their children to boost their self-esteem and confidence

  • Whenever touch, butterflies drop colours: That's true, colours are always on fingers or palms if gently touch a butterfly. This notion reminds all of the parents that whenever a child approaches them, parents leave or spread the tones or colours of hope, optimism and enthusiasm

  • Butterflies constantly cruise in a smooth motion: Butterflies continuously move smoothly without confusion or hurry. I get a chance to observe a butterfly motion, I realize that there is a great lesson to be learned or get inspired by the motion. This insight is a fabulous reminder for parents for their parenting motion. Parenting cruise has to be moved continuously without any confusion or hurry, only focusing on their child's journey to become a responsible human being 

  • Butterflies always beautify the environment: Butterflies constantly beautify the atmosphere with motion and shades. Butterflies have the capacity and potential to prompt thought processes or vision to the parents to embellish and beautify the life of a child with their colours and motions

  • In absence of a butterfly, think about its presence: The elegance and attraction of butterflies, everyone can sense its absence in the atmosphere. There is a glorious drill for parents and a reminder to become a butterfly, a child can sense your absence and crave for your presence. That's the spirit. Children will purposefully want your presence in their life. Be a butterfly
