The Right Path  : Children are a joy to behold! The way they…

Children are a joy to behold! The way they discover the little things of life that we take for granted is quite awe inspiring. They approach things with a freshness that an adult can never grasp. Everything is an object of mystery and wonder as they come across new things each day. Along with this discovery come new feelings and emotions that lay the foundation of the kind of person they are going to be when they grow up.

It is very important to inculcate in children a sense of sharing and giving to others from a very early age. Children tend to be possessive of what they like. Sometimes they don’t like sharing their toys with other children or worse, may insist on having one that another child is playing with. On occasion they may not like their parents hugging or holding other children, siblings included. And what do you do when a child absolutely insists on walking about with the manual on how to insert an applicator tampon? Some children can be very vocal about their feelings, which can be quite embarrassing in a public space!

The best way to handle such a situation is to talk to them and make them understand that they cannot have everything all the time, that it is good to share with others and that it is good to express love to others. They should not feel insecure about these things. Once they are made to see the reason and accept that they will not lose their cherished possessions, they turn into adorable angels who are willing to share their treasures and love others unconditionally. Leading them in the right path instils a value system in them that they are unlikely to forget or deviate from for the rest of their lives! This makes them pass on these very values to their children, making them all better human beings.

Irrational Demands By Kids – How To Deal? : How to deal with…

ShareThis

How to deal with irrational demands from children? A friend of mine was horrified when her daughter demanded designer silver jewellery for her birthday. The child had heard a classmate speak of how her parents gave her anything she wanted on her birthday and decided to try her luck.

Of course, children have no idea of how difficult it is to earn money and how important it is to save for future occasions. They are interested in instant gratification of their desires and demands even if they do not serve any long term purposes. Well, the adult in you will tell you that you have to reject these demands without any hesitation. However, the parent in you will point out that refusing stuff to your child is not a simple matter.

Your child may make it a habit to contact different relatives and request the same gift from them. Not only will it embarrass you in front of your relatives, it will also make it difficult for you to enforce your discipline in an efficient manner. Contacting your relatives to request them not to concede to the demands of the girl may just not work. Instead, you will have to use the carrot and the stick policy to make sure that the child does not create complications.

The first option is to be very firm in refusing the gift for your child. The second step that you should take is come up with different ideas that will not only make your child happy but will also be useful for him or her in the future. A persistent approach combined with lots of love and affection should do the trick. No matter what you do, never take the easy way out and giving to the child’s demand because that will affect the long term development of the child.

Encouraging Imagination In Children : It is very important for…

ShareThis

It is very important for adults to remember their childhood. I realized this when I saw my child playing with some silver jewellery. My first reaction was to remove the same from the possession of the child. After all, jewellery is expensive and it was the product of my hard money. However, I quickly realized that my child had absolutely no regard for the monetary value of the object that he was holding his hands.

My child had decided to use the silver jewelry as a shield that would help the intergalactic army destroy the evil mutant. I was very amused when I discovered that the product of my hard earned money and my gift to my wife was being used as a weapon in a space war. Chances were high that the delicate pieces of jewellery would get damaged. However, I restrained myself because I did not want to interfere with the imaginative process of my child.

My child was learning how to use his mind. He had recently seen Star Wars and was replicating the plot with his own minor changes to make it more exciting. As a child, I have done the same thing and never bothered about the value of stuff that I used in my games. I patiently waited for a few minutes until my child lost interest in the silver jewelry and moved on to some other object.

The best option is to keep expensive objects away from children. Otherwise, you will have no option but to wait until their imagination permits you to take them away.

Often I wondered if other children in my class were subjected to this kind of torture and of course growing up made me realize that beating their child, is one of the most famous and common ways of disciplining that parents often adopt.

However, increasingly I have noticed that child abuse is becoming more common than what one would have liked thus leaving many children as victims for life. The cuts and bruises will dry up and go away however the physiological damage scars do not go away.

There are many effects that are noticed when the child grows up by which time, it is too late to correct them or negate their influence on the adult’s life.

Some children turn up rather hostile and aggressive to be able to be able to beat up the inferiority complex that develops within them due to child abuse. Some other kids turn out quiet and under stated and prefer to stay away from the limelight at all times. They develop such a strong sense of loss and low self confidence that life for them is just another mundane thing which they need to live through without much to achieve.

But both these kinds of attitudes can lead to situations like broken relationships in life, constant fear of the unknown, scare to commit and many other failures. One of the biggest fall outs of an abused childhood is the scare to commit and trust anybody else in life.

Where a lot of us go wrong is treating parenthood like “work”. We have to remember that child rearing is completely different from working on a new hr software UK. What we need is a gentle touch with the right dose of being firm when it comes to our children.

What we give our children today will live in their minds, hearts and lives forever and in turn impact the generations that will inhabit this planet. Let us together create a world free of doubt, if not violence.

This is a fact and there are not many I know who can deny this. A good parent has to be a person who loves and cares, not just his own self, but the society at large. There is a lot of giving involved in nurturing a child, more so if the child is adopted. To be able allow the flow of your own self for somebody else’s benefit requires a lot of large hearted openness on one’s part.

A good parent is one who is stable and steady in their approach to life. There may be times when one is confused about the right approach and the correct method, however the final goal is clear, and even more important is the fact that the final goal is one that benefits an individual.

Providing a stable childhood to the kid is extremely important and vital for the child to grow up into a mature and responsible adult. There needs to be the sense of balance between indulgence and punishment doled out to your child just like hybrid vehicles use both electricity and fuel in correct proportions.

There may be different styles adopted in the child rearing and nurturing process but the ultimate goal is to bring up a good natured human being in the society.

A bad childhood can have many repercussions which often become unmanageable in the latter part of one’s life. It is not to say that every convict or a bad natured human being has had an abused childhood, but the fact remains that a healthy atmosphere at home, increases the chances of a well behaved adult turning out of a child.

The goals of the household must be tuned to make a responsible and well turned human being of the child in the house. This may not be easy and definitely there isn’t a recipe book available to give guidance on how to achieve this goal. But the expertise and patience of willing parents is enough to be able to achieve this goal, may be slightly slower than planned but steadily, no doubt.
