Let us see our life (children) does not run out of our hands, Let us join our hearts and heads to understand them. Reading this Blog on 21st century parenting, we are sure you will understand the situations and today’s generation.
1. Please Stop Underestimating Your Child Instead Start Understanding The Child
Every child is gifted with some talent. Identify your child’s talent.
Instead, understand your child and give what he wants the best not what you can give him the best! Hope it’s clear.
For example, you want your child to be a Doctor but he/she is only interested in music than please start encouraging your child to be the best, the most popular musician in the world.
2. Say No To Comparison
Do not compare your child with anyone because no two individual in this world is born with the same mind, same opinion, same tastes etc.
Every child is a unique though they may be identical twins of same parents for surprisingly!
3. Education Is Not Life But Education Is Part Of Life
What your child can do? What your child can be? What your child likes? What your child’s strength? What your child’s weakness? What your child’s dream? What your child’s heart?
Understand your child first, If they are wrong try to correct them at right time in a right way for bright future do not forget that life belongs to your child but not yours be careful in dealing them! All the best.
4. Gift them character and best personality but not cars, currency and properties
Yes, this is 101% a valued/valid point to be remembered see that your child starts learning character-development, personality development, value-based education right from the school age to inter than there ends the matter.
5. Be the best parent
Do not forget that the child’s first school is the parent’s lap. For example, if parents are smokers than definitely the child be the smoker and you don’t have any right to say ‘NO’ to your child’s smoking because the child had learnt from you. So, please be careful in front of children, the way you behave, the way you live at home, your choices, your selection, your tastes etc everything will be under the observation of your children.
“If you don’t love them – don’t expect love from them”
“If you are lazy – don’t expect them to be active”
“If you are characterless – don’t expect them to be with good character, etc”
Because they come from you, sharing your blood, sharing your color, sharing your genes, sharing everything of yours. If we hurt you by this, please think, let us accept the truth. Let us change for the change of your children, change of the nation.
6. Check your environment and your child’s emotions
The child environment has a greater role in their life, we have read about Pandeva’s and Kauravas. Though the guru is one but the groups are different.
So please check your child’s school environment! Are they giving only education or mechanical education or value- based education?
There are many things that a child learns from their peer-groups. So have an Eye-On it.
7. Check your food and habits
Whatever the parents eat and drink, the child eats the same. As of a scientific research
Let us eat vegetarian food and say no to Non-vegetarian food and artificial foods. As a parent please habituate with your child going to temple at least once in a week, do meditation at least 30 minutes spend your time with your children, laugh with them, cry with them, share your limited emotions with them, make them understand what you are! And what you are for!!
Dear parents!
Hope you understand our valid ideas for your child. As Khalil Gibran says, “Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts and life.”
