However, certain children are abnormally hyperactive and their parents have to keep a watch at what they are up to every now and then. This can get troublesome as parents have a lot of other responsibilities to complete during the day. A child’s hyper-activeness can be a cause of parents especially for those who have not diagnosed their child to check whether they have any disorder/difficulty.

Here are some questions that you must answer after accurately observing your child’s behavior.

Does your child have difficulty in focusing at one activity? Does your child show a lot of dis-attentiveness towards completing a certain task in hand? Does your child resists to sit still at one place? Does your child keeps fidgeting, jumping, running or doing any other activity constantly? Does your child do things without taking a precaution or thinking before doing it? Does your child remains hyperactive while performing all activities irrespective of the type of activity whether games, academics or hobbies? Does your child have learning difficulties or a swift change in moods?

If your answer to all of the above is a YES, then your child is suffering from what is known as “Attention Deficit Hyperactive Syndrome”. What you must do is talk to a children’s counselor who may advise you to take your child to a specialized doctor for diagnosis.

If in case, you have realized that your child indeed suffers from the disorder, do not get shocked. Just be calm with your self as well as your child and resolve the situation. Be A Good Parent Today! Happy Parenting!

Children have specific needs and they have to be fulfilled at certain point in of time only. If they are not fulfilled by a certain time frame, it can have negative impact on a child’s behavior or psyche. For instance, when the child is upset, he/she requires emotional support and you must be there to make the child feel strong and supportive.

Talking issues when the time is correct can help parents avoid a lot of hurdles in nurturing their children.

As often said, a child must not be made aware about sex at an early age or before they turn mature adults as it can be harmful to their growth. Similarly, every action from a parent requires a certain timing to get a desired result. Children require emotional support when they are upset. Thus, a parent must provide emotional support only when the child requires and not when the child is smiling. Be A Good Parent Today! Happy Parenting!

Correcting your child’s behaviour can avoid the consequences of a blunder done by your child. If you keep criticizing them for doing blunders/mistakes and repeatedly tell them that “they are bad”, “they have no sense” and “they will never do anything in life”, you are encouraging to behave obnoxiously with you.

Whatever the case, you must not direct them to feel bad about themselves as it will lower their self-esteem.

Correct the child’s behaviour, not the child. Be A Good Parent Today! Happy Parenting!

It’s parents who are often not clear of what they are looking forward to achieving from life and this tradition of not being conscious of one’s own personality and desires is often passed on to children.

Children require to be aware of who they are and what they want to become in life. They require to be aware of what they want i.e., the desires that they wish to fulfill. Ultimately, it’s a matter of being conscious of your own self.

Key Note: It’s the desires of a person that decides a person’s personality and thus the person journey of life. Be aware of your desires and your child’s desires to make life much simpler and easy.

“Nobody is Perfect”. It is so true. Everyone is so unique in their own way. Every individuals wants are different. Since their wants are different, their perceptions are different as well and thus their behaviors. Thus, there is bound to be a difference in the behavior of a child compared to his/her parent. Therefore, a parent cannot deny the fact that every child has the right to be unique in their own way.

Most times, we as parents deny our child the right to be different from us because we fear that they will leave us. We want them to behave exactly the way we behave. We want our children to live exactly the way we live because we want them to remain closer to us. We try to create an attachment but in that process, we create conflicts. We certainly deny our children their unique individuality and their natural freedom to experience life in their own way.

Firstly, a parent should not impose beliefs within the child at allmost all times. This is because a child requires to develop the art of perceiving the truth by themselves rather than be dependent on their parent to help them perceive at all times. What would be better for you as a parent… children realizing the reality by themselves or not realizing the truth even after depending entirely upon his/her parent(s)?

Secondly, a parent must let the child put up questions in front of you as a friend. Parents must not fear questions and rather face them straight away without any hesitation. If a parent does not like to answer a question, a parent can choose to remain silent which will naturally help the parent to avoid answering a certain question. Still, answer as many question righteously – as much as possible.

Thirdly, a parent must leave decision making to their children slowly and steadily as their child grows grows. Once children discover the art of decision making, they become self-responsible. Some children may or may not be in a position to decide for themselves but still, you must develop a habit of making their own decisions. During that period, a parent must guide the child in being a better decision maker. Parents must ensure their child makes good decisions and not just leave everything in their hands. Grooming their child in a way that the child becomes independent by itself is the key. This way, they turn responsible in their behavior.

De-condition your child and make them self-responsible! Happy Parenting!

If you are thinking that if you keep thinking about your children all the time, your children will become better and better – that is an assumption. It definitely does not neccessarily mean that. Thinking a lot for your children does not definitely mean that what you think as a parent all the time will help you create what you want to within your child’s behavior. To be precise, thinking a lot for your hildren means that though you love them you are always concerned about them. Concerns will never ever help you in creating what you wish to create. Concerns do not improve your relations with your child but degrade them rather. Concerns do not build trust but break trust.

Sometimes, as I say: “Be free and let others free”… Let your child free and let them be out in the open rather than keep them closed in a box where there is no light, all darkness.

Sometimes, just leave whatever is happening to the world and become free of your worries. Take some rests and peace of mind. This will enable you in growing as a better parent any day any time. Be a better parent today! Happy Parenting!

“Swaraj is my Birthright”.

The statement he quoted has a high value even today and every parent must realize that. Children require to be felt independent and self-dependent at an early age. Many-a-times, we as parents do not give our children “their birthright to express, think and act freely”. We restrict them on many issues by judging them as good or bad/right or wrong. We do not let them decide by themselves whether the issue in focus would have a good result or a bad one.

Most importantly, most parents lack good communication skills with their children. This is because they lack good communication skills within themselves. Parents must develop their communication skills in order to develop rapport with their children.

As a parent, you would want your child to become of those movie stars or even sports persons. You would definitely want your children to become a “star” or a “leader” in whatever way best possible. Freedom is the most essential aspect of good parenting as without freedom, your children will never succeed in whatever aspect of life they wish to succeed. Happy Republic Day and Happy Parenting!

Hearing the recent shootings by Indian children on another children which lead to gruesome and shocking murders, It is important that you educate your child with a proper understanding of what violence can do to him/her.

It is essential that you make them understand that violence is not the solution to any problem in the world and killing other people is a dastard act any which ways.

Guns maybe toys for your child but if your child finds a real gun and plays with it as a toy, the result can be disastrous for both you and you and your child, not to forget the growing youth.

Children seem to be playing violent video games a lot and many of them even think that handling a gun in their hands makes them feel like a Hero. Shooting a gun is an heroic act is what many immature children think and feel. You have to eradicate the myths with which they live.

We hope to see a better society for tomorrow! Happy Parenting!

If you are thinking that every child is not the same in potential, I strongly believe that you require to think again. I beleive every child has equal potential in them. It’s just a matter that the child starts believing in the potential they have within themselves.

Comparing two siblings or even your child with his/her friends can lead your child to depression and even lot of tensions within their mind. Your child will be locked in a muddy-mushhy-pond and the more you will compare your child, the more you will count him/her as part of the not-so-authentic group of childen.

Your child is unique and his/her uniqueness cannot be compared in any way with any other child or even his/her brother/sister. Believe your child can do what it wants to and your child will succeed surprisingly.

Why do you think children love to play?

There are many reasons children love to play, for instance:

- They enjoy playing very much.

- They love to create very much.

- They love to be called a “champion”, a “winner” who takes pride in winning.

- It helps them be with their friends.

- It makes them forget their worries and love themselves better.

Thus, children have a specific philosophy of life when they are especially small and adolescent. This specific philosophy is of making their life their playground where they can rejoice their victories and live life enjoyingly.

Now, you might think that your child is dumb just because he/she loves to play a lot, right?

If you as a parent are thinking like that, then you’re thinking something wrong. The children who love to play are the ones who really love life to its optimum. After all, life is a playground where you enjoyingly play games.

Here’s what playing games and outdoor sports can benefit your child:

• Build Stamina, Health and Flexibilty.

 

• Build Leadership Skills and Team Spirit.

 

• Build Creative and Communication Skills.

 

• Help Them Learn Sportsmanship.

 

• Help Build Strength and Toughness.

   

Your child requires to explore the outer world that is beyond their books and feel the experience that life generates. Your child has to open up in his/her beautiful way and build upon his/her own self-confidence. If you will restrict your child within the “shell” of books and text books, your child will never be able to explore the talent that is within him/her self. After all, do you remember who said that phrase…

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!” 

As it is said, “Every Child Is Special!” Playing games make them feel more special.
