Parents Responsibility

Parents are the kids’ immediate role models. And that is indeed a huge responsibility to take on.

So far, a successful person honors his/her success to their parents, apart from their school. This shows that parenting plays a very important role in a child’s life. Parenting is not supposed to be taken lightly, nor it is to be taken too seriously. However as a parent, you must strike a balance and find out the difference as to what are your personal wishes and what your child really needs right now. As a parent, you often tend to find no thin line of difference between your dreams and your child’s dream but, there is one. It is not your fault. They say when children grow up, they may or may not become an impression of their parents. It is not necessary that being tough and giving punishments always helps a child to learn moral lessons. A child can grow fine even with love, care and without punishment. As a parent, know what is good for your child. Try not to be too harsh on them and positively reinforce them to ensure an emotionally healthy and happy life for your child. Here are a few things you need to keep in mind:

• Act as a mentor for your kid.

• Closely monitor the activities of your kid but don’t interfere in the tasks unless they ask you to. But of course, politely ask them what they are up to.

• In case your kid is doing anything unethical, don’t start punishing them. Guide with affection.

• Evaluate homework, class work on regular basis.

• Provide an open space to your kid, and observe what they are doing.

From your busy schedule, spare sometime for your kids every day. Make sure they feel comfortable enough around you to share their feelings openly. They will only share if you are non-judgmental and don’t bring your own opinion in their talks unless asked. Don’t run away from responsibilities. Embrace them and enjoy!
