Dear Parents,

Greetings of the season!!!

One of the biggest gaps in parenting is instituting a 'No' without feeling guilty or angry. A “No” is powerful and will help you establish the leadership position in your child's life, only if it is instituted with clarity and confidence. Not to forget, firm and kind vulnerability, resentment and anxiety are the biggest drivers of numbing, always related to a lack of boundaries. What people don't know is that repeatedly apologizing is also a lack in setting a respectful line, so it is important that we are watchful of our deeds and actions as they will undermine the child's behavior and outcomes. If a child is criticized and learns to live with criticism he is bound to learn to condemn others all the time. Our hostile nature will inculcate hostility in the child, and he will learn to fight over little or no issues.

We must create an atmosphere of trust, honesty, fearlessness, timely praise, encouragement in our child. Acceptance and approval, recognition instills confidence, belief in oneself. The child learns to nurture, sharing, generosity, fairness, and he learns what truth and justice is. If a child lives with security to learn faith he himself and it those around him. If a child lives with friendliness he learns that the world is a nice place in which to live. When we are dealing with the child with respect and giving them space the child will automatically learn to be patient, he will set goals for himself and without shame without feeling guilty the child will learn to take onus and responsibility and learn to set goals for himself. Research shows that interruption occurs frequently in a growing up child.

In an age of digital interruptions it is a luxury to settle with relaxed attention thus it is imperative for parents to understand focus and dive into distractions as distractions are not bad, unwanted all the time. They can be healthy and help us reclaim lost attention when approached by parents with clarity and intention. If the child is taught to live with serenity the child will learn to live with peace, harmony, and acceptance. The child will learn to be more adjusting, accommodating and adapting knowing the pros and cons of the situation the family is in.

As parents share your issues and concerns and involve them in the issues concerning the family. Realistic approach towards the situation will only strengthen the child. Let us create a world of accepting their opinions, recognizing their inputs at the same time spelling out the norms of your family and your realistic expectations in a patient manner, and I am sure when we adults act with mindfulness with our children they will certainly be more responsible, receptive and humane human beings which the world its. So let's all do our bit is shaping these young minds into wonderful human beings.

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous new year.
