POWER TO DELIVER THEN...PASSION TO
NURTURE NOW!
Parenting is an art.
All of us want our children to behave we want them to ….whereas they are like clay in our hands…!
Children can be moulded to our pattern very easily…!
In fact it is Time for TWO (Parents) to come together!
We All Were Kids Once, Remember?
BEING A ROLE MODEL
Children often observe and take inputs from the behavior of the parents.
A child who had the habit of pulling the wallet of the dad and throwing it all around continued once they traveled in a train (the wallet had huge money and cards..etc..)
If you speak with love and kindness they reflect the same…and if you express anguish and irritation the same can be expected of them.
THOU SHALL BEHAVE...TO HAVE BETTER
CHILDREN
Open up with them as to how your image gets reflected based on their behavior at home and at other places.
If we say “I am busy working with office files”….they do understand for sure even if they are just 3.
Children are smart enough to understand what is happening around them…hence to have better children we are to behave properly.
IDEAS FOR EMPOWERING CHILDREN
Admire your children for
every small act of theirs…! If
we admire and appreciate 6
times we can for sure point
out mistakes once…!
Many children prefer to be
corrected rather than
ignored by parents…!
To draw attention of parents
they find a way or other….!
Observe…and admire every
correct thing they do…!
BE A PLAYMATE, NOT A PARENT
Go to the place where they play …whether it is floor, sand or garden or even when they are rolling….sit next to them … converse and be a playmate and not as a parent…to make them feel good with you…! They love it.
They get affected psychologically when their words and actions are completely ignored or unnoticed…!
NO KIDDING !
Fulfill every promise you
make…for their
accomplishment, success,
or performance…!
Don’t promise simply to
get things done the way
you want…!
When promises are met,
children tend to believe
parents and try to
accomplish more…!
So, when you promise…
see that it is done….!
PARENTS CAFE ...CHILDREN SAFE...!.
Some children get
enthused with few
things…such as
spectacles, mobile
phones etc….But when
you know they have the
habit of throwing and
breaking things…keep
them away from
children…! It could be
even medicines or
matchbox or TV remote
even…!
BEING DIFFERENT IS WISE...OTHERWISE
CRITICAL
If your children are busy doing something and it does not affect you by any way….just be watchful …but ignore…! They may even follow an ant..! It is ok.
Don’t put unwanted laws or rules at home…Given some freedom, it gives them self-confidence. Later on much conflicts and difference of opinions are avoided when they grow…!
DEALING WITH TWO DIFFICULT BOSSES
Don’t say “ok” when your spouse says “not ok”…It brings an idea to the kid to make a play or ploy between parents…!
With clarity and due explanation tell them “No” as children would always love to do what we tell them not to do.
Let them learn lessons from their own faults..(it could be not finishing home work…when they are punished in the school they understand)
DP TO SP (DIFFICULT PARENTS TO SUPER
PARENTS)
Make children feel they are important to you both and to our home.
Consider discussing with them for some decisions like buying a TV, computer or painting the house. Involve them…so that they feel they are given due importance…!
Making good fun with the children during dinner or lunch or get-together without hurting or insulting them would strengthen the bond in the family.
Humor is a great way of creating harmony in the family.
PASSION TO IGNITE FIRE IN THE BELLY!
Make children feel some
disappointments, failures in their
daily routine…! Just don’t give
everything they ask…! Let them
know the value of money and how
hard it is to earn.
Life is a combination of success
and failures and let the children
understand sometime they may
even fail to succeed..! This would
enable them to be perseverant and
take failures as stepping stones. It
is the duty of parents to make them
understand life is not a bed of
roses and it the law of the nature to
get us happiness and sorrows –
and not happiness or success
always…(it is like day and
night…and darkness and light)
