To share some of my thoughts as a parent
Hello friends! I hope everyone is enjoying Friday's holiday very much.
That's why I wrote the article by combining some of my own thoughts. I wrote the whole article from a parent's point of view. I hope everyone will try to understand the content of my writing from its own place. So let's get started without delay-
The birth of a child means that parents find a new meaning in life. With the birth of a child, there is no end to the worries of parents. Because as parental responsibilities increase, you always have to keep trying to give the best. We always want to be the best parents to raise our child as the best child. We parents prefer to see our child in the first place in every aspect of life .
My children will do what I can't do, this kind of attitude puts us under a lot of stress all the time.
My child has to be a doctor or an engineer, my child has to be a senior government official, but why this kind of mentality of our parents? When a child comes to earth he/she does not even know how long they will be able to survive on this earth. Excluding everyone in the world, we work as competitors in our own homes. I'm not saying it's bad to have expectations of the child, but expectations shouldn't be out of power. Because you first need to understand how much your child can take. He/she is a single entity, so you should not think of your child as your reflex. It is unreasonable to assume that the shape you want to give him/her will be formed in that shape.
There are many parents who like to show off to their children. There are also many who think that if their child is educated in English medium school then maybe his / her evaluation in the society will increase.
My child can speak English fluently, my child can draw good pictures, my child can sing, my child can dance, it is an achievement for many parents to be able to say these words. But have you ever heard parents say, "My child's moral education is so good"?
We have forgotten that moral education is necessary to develop into a real human being because there is no time left after our competition to teach these morals.
That is why nowadays when parents get old, their children drop them off at the old age home. Children do not want to take responsibility for their parents. Do you know the reason? This is because you yourself have raised your child like an instrument since childhood. Today's children do not understand that the child has a soul connection with the parents! Because we put so much pressure on them to study and other activities that they don't have time to feel anything else. That is why they never feel the connection of that soul with their parents.
Education is needed to improve life but by education we mean only formal education. Education and knowledge acquisition are two different things.
Achieving the highest marks by memorizing books and writing them in the exam paper should not be the main objective of education .We see parents being more concerned with test numbers than gaining knowledge, but these test scores will never play a major role in shaping your child's life.
Only knowledge gained from education can enrich one's life.
We need to be friendly with our children, give them time and know their problems. Make connections with them so that they can speak their minds to us without hesitation. It helps us to make the right decision for them.
Since every human being has his own characteristics, his own faults, it is advisable to allow him to grow up like him without ever comparing himself with others. If we compare our children with others all the time, they may develop inferiority complex which will be bad for their future.
Every human being is enriched by his own qualities, so identifying those qualities should motivate him/her to move towards that. I never put any pressure on my child. It is as important to get education as it is to get moral education from family.
I like to let her grow up like her. Education is an invaluable asset of life and we have to acquire knowledge to enrich life but not only education is everything in life, there is a world beyond it. What did she learn if I just sat him down with a book all day? How to respect a person? How to build a good relationship with the family? How to help with family chores? How to talk to a person ? These things are also learning.
We need to be the first, the best, to stop these weak mentality. And that's only possible if I give my child enough time. I can build a good relationship with her and she can talk to me about everything.
Then no work will seem to be a burden to them and they will consider their parents as friends and not as enemies.
There are no perfect parents and there are no perfect kids. However, if there is a great relationship between parents and their kids, then that's just perfect :)
