ʻīlio a me ke keiki: nā lula o ke ola

 ʻO ka mea laki i ka ulu ʻana me ka ʻīlio, e ʻae ʻo ia he mea kupanaha kēia. Loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi hoaaloha hilinaʻi a hoa no nā pāʻani, kahi hoa hele wāwae a me kahi mea hilinaʻi. A he kakaikahi ka poʻe e hoʻopaʻapaʻa me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ke kamaʻilio ʻana ma waena o kahi keiki a me kahi ʻīlio, ʻo ka mea mua, palekana. ʻO kēia wale nō ka mea e hauʻoli ai i nā mea komo. Aia i kou mana e hana i nā mea āpau i hiki ai i nā keiki a me ka holoholona ke lilo i mau hoaaloha pili ʻole.

Pehea e koho ai i ʻīlio no ka ʻohana me nā keiki

He mea nui e kūpono ka ʻīlio i kou nohona. Inā inaina ʻoe i ka luhi, e kiʻi i kahi ʻīlio ikaika. Akā ʻaʻole hiki i kahi hoaaloha ʻehā ke hoʻolilo iā ʻoe i mea pāʻani inā makemake ʻoe a me kou ʻohana ma mua o nā mea āpau e hoʻolimalima manawa i mua o ka TV. Pono ka ʻīlio e ʻae i kekahi pilikia mai ka kamaʻilio ʻana me nā keiki, ʻike mālie i ka walaʻau a hiki ke kala aku. He mea nui ka hiki ke hoʻomaha koke a mālama iā ʻoe iho. A, ʻoiaʻiʻo, he ʻīlio "no ke keiki" pono e aloha i nā kānaka. 

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ʻīlio, koho i kahi hele pololei iā ʻoe, akā ʻaʻole nahu a hana ʻino loa.

 Hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe i kahi ʻīlio makua, akā inā ʻike ʻoe i kona wā i hala a maopopo ʻoe ua noho ʻo ia me nā keiki a aloha iā lākou. Mai poina ka ʻīlio, ʻo ka mea mua, he hana. ʻO Lassie, ka mea nāna i hāpai iā ia iho a ma ka manawa like ʻole i ka unpretentious, a i ka manawa like hiki ke hoʻopakele iā ʻoe mai ke kumukūʻai o kahi nanny, ʻike ʻia ma nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni wale nō. A ʻo ke ola, auwe, mamao loa mai nā hiʻohiʻona Hollywood.

I ka wā e loaʻa ai kahi ʻīlio i loko o kahi ʻohana me nā keiki

ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi e kali a hiki i ka piha ʻana o ke keiki i 4 a 5 mau makahiki. ʻO nā kamaliʻi liʻiliʻi, ʻaʻole hiki ke hana pono me ka ʻīlio. Eia kekahi, hiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia ka hānai ʻana i kahi holoholona me ka hānai ʻana i kekahi keiki. Mākaukau ʻoe e loaʻa nā māhoe? 

ʻIlio i loko o ka ʻohana me nā keiki: mālama palekana

1. Mai haʻalele (no!) i kāu ʻīlio me kahi keiki liʻiliʻi. ʻOiai ʻo ka pipi hilinaʻi e pale aku inā hoʻoholo ke keiki e ana i ka hohonu o ka pepeiao o ka ʻīlio me kahi penikala. E mālama i ka huluhulu a me ka pēpē i ka ʻike a i ʻole e hoʻokaʻawale kino iā lākou mai kekahi i kekahi.
2. E ʻimi i ke ʻano o kāu ʻīlio a aʻo i kāu keiki e hoʻomaopopo i ka "ʻōlelo kino" o ka holoholona. Hoʻomaopopo mau ka ʻīlio ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu ʻo ia. Inā ua pau nā hōʻailona i loaʻa iā ia, ʻo ka uwē a nahu paha ka mea i koe. Mai manaʻo e ʻae kāu pipi i nā mea āu e makemake ʻole ai. ʻOiai inā pēlā, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka palekana.
3. Inā makemake ka ʻīlio e haʻalele i ke keiki, e hāʻawi iā ia i ka manawa. E hāʻawi i kou huluhulu i wahi palekana.
4. Papa aku i na keiki e hoopilikia i ka holoholona i ka ai ana a me ka hiamoe.
5. E aʻo i kāu keiki ma ka laʻana. Mai hana koʻikoʻi i ka ʻīlio a ʻaʻole e ʻae i ke keiki e hahau i ka hoa ʻehā wāwae, hoʻohenehene a hoʻonāukiuki paha ma kekahi ʻano ʻē aʻe.
6. E kaʻana like i nā kuleana o ka mālama ʻana i ka holoholona me kāu mau keiki. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kahi papahana - no ka maopopo. Hiki i nā keiki liʻiliʻi ke kōkua i ka hānai ʻana i ka ʻīlio a i ʻole e hoʻopiha i ke kīʻaha me ka wai. A hiki i kahi keiki nui ke komo i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i kahi hoaaloha ʻehā wāwae - no ka laʻana, e aʻo iā ia i nā hana ʻakaʻaka.
