A child is God’s beautiful creation. Raising children and transforming them into wise human beings is a Herculean’s task for a parent nowadays. Parenting is an art and if you are good in it, your child will be nurtured meticulously.
Behaviour of children in today’s high tech world is a matter of concern.
Parents often complain that their own chidren don’t respect them. Many kids at their initial years become so adamant that they don’t listen to their parents.
Parents are having tough time while handling them. When they touch teen age,they become rowdy. Whatever their parents say, it’s irrelevant for them. They start considering their own parents as enemies. We often read in newspapers children misbehaving with their parents and abandoning them too.
Where are we lacking ?
Why this change of behaviour in kids?
Where our children heading to ?
This is an alarming state and worth pondering. Parents should do introspection so that they should be close to their kids and their kids confine in them.
So in this regard, a few
important tips for parents
Spend more time with your children : when parents are far-off, kids behave differently. Mostly Parents are having this notion that they know their chidren very well but reality is that they are not aware of real self of their own kids. At times, their teachers and friends know them more than own parents. So,make a bond with your kids. Try to have knowledge about small informations like : how was their day,about their peer group,What annoys them,what they like or despise. In nutshell, know them more. For this, go for walk with them,go for outings or long drives and you will get acquainted about your children’s persona and eventually you will gain their trust.
Know when to stop pampering
Some chidren imitate their friends. They start demanding what is not right for them. Parents should make a balance between love and discipline. Don’t say ‘yes ‘ to their every demand. Start saying ‘no’ too. Let them earn everything with their efforts.
Never allow them to disrespect you or anyone
Guide them on daily basis that disrespectful attitude is not acceptable at all. Illuminate them about significance of giving courtesy to people. Tell them choice of right words while expressing themselves. Always remember that kids are reflection of parents’ upbringing and you parents,can do it tactfully.
Be a Role model in real sense
Children follow their parents too much. Do everything in front of them very carefully. Whatever mannerisms you expect from them,behave in the same manner. If you want that they should give up mobile phones,first you should abstain from excessive use of mobile phones. If you want to inculcate reading habits in your kids, start reading a book and your child will automatically follow you. Some characteristics we enforce in our kids and some they develop by following their parents unconsciously.So maintain your demeanour while you are with your kids,as it impacts their psyche.
Allow them to be more expressive
When they talk listen to them, don’t stop. Often parents don’t take opinion of their kids. let them be opinionated. Make them a part of your discussions. Give them that atmosphere that they can flourish.
Never use them as a tool to fulfill your
unaccomplished dreams
What ever you can’t achieve,don’t enforce on your children. Don’t impose your own dreams on your children. Let them pursue what they want to be. Give them wings to fly.
Let us all promise to ourselves to provide a delightful childhood to our kids so that they can bloom into magnificent adults.
We all can do it, just a genuine effort is required.
Happy Parenting !
