Child and Parent
“Could I climb to the highest place in Athens, I would lift my voice and proclaim: Fellow citizens, why do you turn to scrape every stone to gather wealth, and take so little care of your children, to whom one day you must relinquish it all?” – Socrates
Socrates knew the value of bringing up children, the future generation. It is true that we are so busy giving our children what we do not have that we do not have time to give them what we have.
Are you tired of yelling and screaming at your kids? How can you take it easy when the kids make a mess at house? How one can handle work stress and managing the demand of children.
Parenthood is one of the best times of life. But it can also turn to be bad time in ones life, if the joy is not understood. Are there some magic mantras of handling kids?
There is always giving taking in any relationship and same is true in parenthood too. Following are few of the points that can help us in handling our children, some which helps me also. You might also try it out.
1. Love and you get loved in return
2. Give respect and you get respected
3. If angry, just keep away otherwise, you will get the same in return.
4. Very tough situations can be handled only if self control is applied
5. Be frank, sincere, and truthful. Try to connect and communicate as far as possible.
6. To influence, you have to be at a level with them. If the child is 14 year old, think what you will do if you are that child in that situation and what you would like to listen and how you can be influenced at that age. Do that
7. Friends and family plays a bigger role so take their help when ever needed.
8. Be a friend rather than a parent and discuss things openly
9. Listen, Listen, Listen.. That is what you are needed to do as the kid grows up.
10. To influence the children, you have to be with them when they need you.
