Many human beings like talking, sharing the day-to-day activity with someone close to them. So are children, be it any age. They like to talk about what happened, how it happened, but not every child might like to do so. Parenting is not only a responsibility, but also a stupendous journey of the emotional state of mind.
Positive parenting is about being kind to the child, accepting, recognizing, and understanding them.
Above all, do not insult or hamper their esteem in front of their peers. Even if you are not kind enough as is expected, damaging their dignity amongst their community will shatter them to pieces.
As parents, you would have been happy to see them say their first word, take baby steps, recognize you, your sound, hence don’t deviate from the responsibility of leaving them in nature’s hands.
If you take enough care for your children, provide proper attention, and respect child stealing habit will never repeat.
According to many, Indian parenting requires a bit of maturity while handling kid’s behaviour. We are global in many aspects, be it work atmosphere, having friends and relatives overseas, why not treat your children more open-minded, leaving the bad experiences of your childhood down and instil in your children only what you are proud of.
- They would consider them lucky if you are part and parcel of their everyday. Empathize with them.
- If you see child stealing, please do not make it public and create haywire. Instead, keep your emotions in check and ask them to return and not to repeat it.
- Children are fast learners, just a little push will make them achieve their dreams, yes their dreams. Do not trust them with your views, ideas, and dreams.
- Play games to teach them best practices. You can play shopkeepers game where you playfully teach your child that you cannot take an item from the store without paying for it.
- Support them, nurture them, become another child, and play with them, listen to them, they are far more mature than you may think.
- You may have to move away from the traditional way of Indian parenting and allow them to make their own decisions. They become more responsible for their actions and benefit society in return.
- Have an open conversation, discuss your confusion, tell what you did when you were their age, not as a piece of advice rather those falling-from-cycle-moments.
