The parenting role could either turn out to be one of the best phases of your life or could be one of the most dreaded moments of ones life. It is certain that parents have to play a very important role right even before the birth of a child. Issues that crop up when the child is growing up at times are just too much to handle.
At first when the child comes in to this world we go through this whole blend of emotions such as beauty, innocence, embracing the most beautiful feeling in this world of getting a life on this earth. However after the reality sets in is that we now need to perform a role of a warden, nurturer, guardian, instructor, provider and a counselor. First of all you need to start by developing a feeling of considering your strengths and accomplishments.
Once you accept the feeling will the child identify with the same impact!!! It is important that you are able to keep your self esteem high so that it bears the same resemblance on your child as well. A child is always curious to know why certain things happen, they are the most curious being and handling their questions in the right way would be the best way to deal with things.
Instead of simply answering in a yes and a no, try reasoning out with your child why certain things should not be done and explain to them in their language as to what would the consequences be if such things are done. A child can be handled best when you learn to talk and walk their language. Shouting, yelling, beatings can more then half the times have a disastrous effect on the child. It is important for a child to be scared of his parents but only at the cost of him getting beaten up is not the solution. The positive attitudes, responsibility for your actions, respect for yourself will certainly have a say to a family environment differentiated by self-assurance, creativeness and interest.
Imbibe values, ethics and etiquettes that will help the child to do the right things at the right time even though no one is watching this is the true meaning of integrity! It is important to have realistic expectations from your child. Only then would it be possible to have repeated successes which eventually lead to developing healthy self-esteem. You need to make you’re your child realizes his potential at an early age. It would then be possible to Respect your child's exceptional individuality.
Most of all you need to keep in mind your Purpose, which is to be enduring, feel affection for and Laugh a lot!! Never be under the misconceptions that parents do not learn anything but inculcate learning into their child, as the truth of the matter goes that most of the times even parents get to learn a great deal and children serve as the best source of inspiration to their parents! |
