Children are born with an inborn temperament and a preferred style of relating to people and events. Raising children is one of the toughest and the most fulfilling job in the world. Parents are least prepared for this job.
Learning on the job how to be a parent can be fraught with pitfalls. So instead of talking about good or bad parenting, I think of it as effective or ineffective parenting. The best way to raise positive children in a negative world is to have positive parents who love them unconditionally and serve as excellent role models.
Tips of Parenting
Disciplining school-going children is the first major of a parent during a child’s growing-up years. Today’s busy parents are not always able to make time to find out what is going on in the lives of their teens. When a child does something wrong, it is advisable for parents not to freak out. Instead, talk to your child about it when you are alone with him/her.
Strong-willed children could be a challenge when they are young but if sensitively parented, they became terrific teens. They are self motivated and go after what they want. These children are people of integrity who are not easily swayed from their own view point. Parents should avoid power struggle by laying down a set of routine and rules. Let the child take charge of him.
If you give orders, the child will always get angry. If you offer a choice, he feels like the master of his own destiny. So give your child choices. He will learn to become independent. Under no circumstances should you try to break your child’s will or force him to give in to your views. Discipline him through the relationship, never through punishment. Most importantly provide a supportive and loving atmosphere at home.
