What's the best parenting advice?
Parenting is a constantly evolving process where there is no single technique that suits every child. In other words, there is no “one size fits all”. Every child is different and will grow up to be their own person with unique viewpoints, sentiments, feelings, hopes as well as ambitions.
One of the most important things to remember about parenting to strike a balance between helicopter parenting and just the right amount of attention. Parents MUST NEVER draw comparisons between their child and another child.
This is extremely crucial, especially in eastern cultures like India and Korea where children are expected to do well in their studies and make parents proud. Parents must allow their children to follow their passions and help them harness their talents.
Obeying parents and respecting them are two disconnected things. Respect MUST NOT be entwined with obedience. A child can have complete respect for its parents and still disagree with them. This is essential to let children explore their own interests and make the best decisions for their higher education as well as careers.
Such an approach is not only important for the overall development of a child, but also for a bright future. These are times of rapid changes in several industries across the globe. The old way of keeping your head down, working hard, and rising in your profession may not hold true anymore. Today’s workplace demands smart work, rather than just hard work.
Lastly, parents must enable children to become independent from a young age. This instills a problem solving nature in them, which is most essential for later life. Children brought up in this way will try to solve their own problems, rather than rely on their parents for every little thing.
I don't like to generalise any advice to all the kids out there.
and why?
- Because each baby comes with their own personality, temperament to start with, they are unique in that way.
- Each parents grown up differently, have different beliefs and ideas of raising a kid.
Still I have few tips and facts to share that are common to all:
- No one parenting style is perfect and it require modification according to kid’s temperaments as well as their age.
- Initially first few months leave them alone! Disturb only when they are in need ( like hungry, crying, or wet)
- Be sensitive and responsive to their requirements
- Breast feed them unless otherwise indicated.
- Make them move and touch them often to promote healthy growth.
- Talk a lot with them.
- Read to them according to their age.
- Be her toy until one year and provide toys that creates connections in brain ( feed curiosity and imagination). Avoid fleshy and noisy toys.
- Involve family to raise a baby.
- Involve them to day to day house chores and other work outside home.
- Go out with them ( at least 1 hr a day)
- Help them behave. Don't punish them.
- Don't compare with others.
- Create memories and positive experiences!
- Acknowledge their efforts rather praise them. ( that will boost growth mind set).
- Focus on executive functions of their brain.
- Set boundaries and strictly follow them.
- Be warm and firm at the same time when it comes to discipline.
- Develop empathy and altruism.
Our goal here is to raise a human being that can positively contrite to our society !
1. If your child lies to you often, it is because you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate behaviour.
2. If your child is not taught to confide in you about their mistakes, you’ve lost them.
3. If your child had poor self-esteem, it is because you advice them more than you encourage them.
4. If your child does not stand up for themselves, it is because from a young age you have disciplined them regularly in public.
5. If your child takes things that do not belong to them, it is because when you buy them things, you don’t let them chose what they want.
6. If your child is cowardly, it is because you help them too quickly.
7. If your child does not respect other people’s feelings, it is because instead of speaking to your child, you order and command them.
8. If your child is too quick to anger, it is because you give too much attention to misbehaviour and you give little attention to good behaviour.
9. If your child is excessively jealous, it is because you only congratulate them when they successfully complete something and not when they improve at something even if they don’t successfully complete it.
10. If your child intentionally disturbs you, it is because you are not physically affectionate enough.
11. If your child is openly defiant, it is because you openly threaten to do something but don’t follow through.
12. If your child is secretive, it is because they don’t trust that you won’t blow things out of proportion.
13. If your child talks back to you, it is because they watch you do it to others and think its normal behaviour.
14. If your child doesn’t listen to you but listens to others, it is because you are too quick to jump to conclusions
15. If your child rebels it is because they know you care more about what others think than what is right
MAY THIS GUIDE OUR MODERN PARENTS..!!
Have a nice day!😌
Please do not ignore your children. Do not give importance to other children over looking you own. Do not compare your children with others .I hope this will help a little.
