I am a father to eight years old son. My entire life revolves around my son only. Like any other father in this world, I also try to do whatever is best possible to provide facilities and comfort to my child. To arrange these all I have compromise and scarification with my personal dreams and aspirations. Another pillar of my son’s life is his mother. Her complete life is devoted to her son only.
In my understanding, nothing is exceptional in this. Every parent has the same kind of feeling for their kids and they try to provide the best to their loved once. In the Indian context, this our culture and it transfers geriaction by generation as a gift.
In spite of so much of effort in children upbringing, handwork in making them a gentle and kind human being, every day many parents come to my share their feedback about their tanager’s unexpected behaviour and their way of living life. The common problems parents share about their teenagers are ….
- They don’t have respect for elders to direct and extended family
- They feel parents have less knowledge than them
- Not serious about a healthy lifestyle
- They have a focus on everything apart from studies
- They don’t share their personal life issues with parents
Studies say, above, all kinds of behaviour are not just coincident. Its result of what parents taught them unconsciously, while these kids were bringing and becoming teenagers. The concept is, how, parents behave with small kids and the other family members and in society, becomes the behaviour of your child latter.
Generally, parents are not conscious of how they are responding to the situations in front of kids. Kids learn through observation. Whatever incidence comes in their observation the first time, they learn some lesson and store in their mind. Till the age of seven years a kid develops almost all the basic formulas of their life which they are going to use the rest of their life. After that, they just put values in learnt formulas and conclude.
In order to develop good behavioural habits in your kids take care of below basic points so that learn the right lessons and live their rest of the life more humbly and gently.
- Parents, shouldn't argue with each other in front of kids, even though they are too small, even one month old as well
- Parents should respect each other. Don’t try to prove your partner wrong
- Listen to each and every question of your kid, very carefully and answer them, until they get satisfied
- Answer your kid's questions with the complete explanation
- In front of any guest at home, introduce your kids first. They feel respected and valuable
- Always appreciate kids in front of others.
- Don’t share any weakness of your kid with anyone in front of him
- Appreciate the quality, which you want to increase in their personality
- Appreciate their every small effort, if they try to correct the things
- Don’t start and end your kid’s day with high volume and shouting
- At the time of sleeping hug them and make them realize that you have forgiven their all the mistakes, happened during the day
- Demonstrate in your behaviour, whatever you expect from them
- Whatever you want to teach them, do you first and maintain consistency
- Instead of pushing the kid to do study, you take a book and start reading
- Instead of asking kids to switch off tv, first, you do something valuable and then ask them
- Don't miss any chance to make them realize that you love them a lot and they are first in your life
Such kind of many things is there which you can develop in your kids. It will develop good habits in your kids and latter it will inculcate in their personality. This creates respect for their parents and finally develop them as a good citizen
