Well, parenting is a job that does\u2019nt come with salary, sick days and vacation time. It is usually seen that kids dawdle when parents are in a rush or are busy completing a task. After an exhausting day when one simply wants a moment of quiet, kids will shriek, make annoying sounds, fight with siblings, for no reason other than to disrupt peace. Developmental psychologists are of the opinion that discipline is an important ingredient in optimal parenting. But unfortunately it is observed that discipline is confused with punishment( physical or verbal) that leaves impending scars in the young minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many theorists are also of the opinion that the experiences over the first few years of a child\u2019s life, lay the foundation on which the rest of the development depends. Thus it becomes the sole responsibility of the parents to provide a warm, loving & a child-friendly environment which would stimulate future potentials in the child. Parents often feel guilty about not spending enough time with their kids or remain overwhelmed by trying to balance working while raising kids. Well, no one is a born parent, thus mistakes are inevitable. So at times it is simply OK to admit that you are burnt out as a parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The everchanging world of technology & gadgets that kids have access to, seem downright terrifying for many parents today. Thus parents need to be tech savvy, so as to keep their kids safe, while still allowing them to embrace the technology as the time demands. It is to be kept in mind that due to immaturity & inexperience, children, especially teenagers have impulse control issues and they will have the tendency to venture out to unknown situations which might put them to trouble. In this fast changing world of technology, parents need to have discussions regarding \u2018Cyber Safety\u2019 & \u2018Cyber Security\u2019 with their kids, keeping in mind their age factor. They also need to monitor the activities of their kids in this regard, without being too interfering. Kids are more in favour of \u2018involved parents\u2019
rather than \u2018 intervening ones\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LETS SIMPLIFY SOME COMPLICATIONS !<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2756 Teach your kids to be aware of what\u2019s right & what\u2019s wrong.
\u2756 Show them how to be gentle & when to be strong.
\u2756 Praise & encourage them everytime they deserve it, as it would strengthen their spirit.
\u2756 Show respect to their feelings & thoughts & next time it will be mutual.
\u2756 Stop trying to perfect your child, instead keep trying to perfect your relationship with him\/her.
\u2756 Each child is born unique, so there can\u2019t be a \u201cOne Blanket Approach\u201d in parenting.
\u2756 Remember, a single NO from you, can put the child off balance when you tend to fulfill all their wishes & demands. So some wishes or demands need to be unheard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


\u2756 Seize every available moment to connect with your kids.
\u2756 Sometimes \u2018SILENCE\u2019 is the buzzword in parenting. It speaks louder than words.
\u2756 Take \u2018time out\u2019 from being a parent. Do something that would simply make you happy as a
person or as a couple. Focusing on your needs, does not necessarily make you selfish. It is rather
an important value to model before your children.
\u2756 While you are working hard to be a perfect parent, do not be dismayed if you find yourself
straying off the path. Parents are human after all.
\u2756 Parents need not enter into the popularity contest to bag the \u2018Best Dad\u2019 or \u201cBest Mom\u2019 award.
They must have the courage to call a spade, a spade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offer a sincere & heartfelt parental apology when you make a mistake. That\u2019s the best real life example to teach humility to your kids<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2756 Distraction is a quick & easy homemade remedy to discipline your child, as you don\u2019t have to win a moral victory, every time they misbehave.
\u2756 We all know that carbon & diamond are different expressions of the same potential. Children growing up with negative thoughts & actions remain carbon, whereas those growing with positive ones will shine like a diamond. So try not to be judgmental about their actions but rather teach them self-regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t really understand human nature unless we know why on a merry-go-round a child will always wave at his parents every time around & why his parents will always wave back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
