But the arrival of the sibling also initiates pangs of jealously or a mixed feeling of self conscious behavior. The child here feels neglected with so many praises showered on the new born. Material things are very important for a child and hence the child expects that relatives too bring him a toy or get a new dress. These small things matter to the child a lot. As parents we cannot pre-guide the child into all emotional details. But several matters can be pre-conditioned.

 Show your child pictures of a new born and tell them that you require her or his help. Empowering them makes them responsible. Once a while they may show disinterest or give an impression of being stubborn and during the days the parent definitely has to understand the mental framework of the child. For a child affection or display of love is very essential. Make time for your first born by making some free time any time of the day. Do supervise his math lessons or help him with the stickers on the wardrobe.

 As they are little, their needs are also similar. Children bask in the love of the new born. As the new born slowly grows, avoid any kind of conflict by comparison. Comments by relatives can also be reciprocated with lot of negative feeling by the older child. Subdue their fears and extend a lot of love towards them. A constant reassurance is all is required to build up their maturity.

 Take time off by switching chores with your spouse or arrange for a helper during weekends and make time for your child by going for the stroll or doing some gardening. This is a passing phase.

The usual pattern of finding a school is about choosing one among the vicinity or a decent distance. The procedure of selection from the schools point is more about personal interview of parents where the school authorities screen parents to find about the background of the child. Each child is different and the prevalent system of gauging the child’s IQ is no longer valid. In a few schools, kids are allowed to interact with toys/books/educative games and a general selection is made. It is important for parents to cooperate during the session and also place their queries in the orientation program.

The typical things before choosing a school seem to be the bus facility, faculty and more importantly the curriculum. The board also is essential as a criterion like SSC, ICSE, CBSE or the new entrant which is IGCSE. The IB board is a personal choice suited to affordable classes. Whatever the medium, the fees also seem to be an important factor is making a choice. Other queries can be about coaching tutorials, sports facilities and other cultural participation in context with the Indian scene.

A child automatically adjusts to a routine and bus service in a month’s time. It is necessary for parents to cooperate with the authorities at all time. Placing the concern/feedback/suggestion can be done during the open house days or a special meeting can be arranged with the class teacher. While choosing a school the parents must also make a general enquiry about facilities, field trips, curricular feats and what kind of contribution is required from the parents.

It is definitely due lack of awareness of these ideas along with fear of being beaten up leads to children lying habitually.

The purpose of lying habitually may, in case, be due to a certain repetitive want or fulfillment of desire.

Firstly, a parent should love their child so much that the child knows their parents love them.

Secondly, a parent must keep a watch their child is doing all the time. This will keep them in check.

Thirdly, a parent must set rules. One rule should be of maintaining honesty and discipline.

Fourthly, a parent should maintain a balance between ‘too much love’ and love.

Here are some reasons why:

Being Possesive is a very unacceptable situation for both, the parent and the child.

Being Possesive is not confidence in the child but shows a lot o fear that leads to a parent being posseisive and strict. This strictness leads to fear in a child due to which the child might form a habit of lying habitually.

Love is more realistic as it keeps a parent with the contention in mind that their child will keep faith in their love. True love lets the parent see the reality, face it without fear and removes the fear of being punished from the child’s mind.

Instead, it instills faith in the relationship between the parent and the child which is more important.

Frequent communication between the parent and child can be the key here.
