Parenting

Parenting is a family art. Mother and Father are the artist and the child is the canvas. Behaviour of parents are the brushes and emotions are colours. The combination of all these components brings up the child's character and the beauty on the canvas surface.

Remember that the culture imbibed in the childhood remains always in the personality throughout the life.

From just born to --- 2 to 3 years old :

1... The child needs the closeness, the closeness of mother and father.

2... Affection and timely food are the only things that the child requires during this period. Rest of the activities are secondary for her/him and automatic.

3...Play with her/him. Take her/him on and off in your lap till he/she is big enough to walk, walk with holding hand and regularly hug him/her, smile, caress in your lap till he is grown big enough to carry in lap.

4...Try to become of the age as of your child and interact. Speak to her/him in. Play with him. Give enough time for him.

5... Avoid creche, Ayahs as much as you can. Child has been in the body of the mother for 9 moths and such closeness, the child would not like to weaken so easily. If you can't avoid , keep an alert eye on Ayah at home and through CCTV connected to your mobile.

Remember, you are matured and you can control your emotions, but the child can't.

6...At home, keep all medicines, cutlery, sharp objects, small objects, coins etc...which can be easily swollen by child, beyond reach.

Also, avoid to give toys of small size and even those which can be easily broken to small portions. When the child plays with it, it may break or torn to small pieces.

7...Children play at bed and roll also. Better to keep the bed at the corner of the room and sorround it by cushions. Also some cushions at the floor around the cot would help, if they roll while sleeping and you are in kitchen, bathroom or attending caller at the entry door.    

8...Sliding windows and doors are quite popular now days. These have latches and get shut on full closure from inside. There is no provision to open from outside once closed.

 It is suggested to keep a gap and take precaution, While you are out side say at veranda and by chance the sliding panel is becomes closed by you or by your child ,the child becomes trapped inside the house/flat.

9...Don't leave the washing machine top left open. The kid if reaches at the top may fall down inside of the opening.

From 5 Years to 10 years:

During this age the children learn more from school than from home. They develop new friends, understand relations, learn sharing food and study material, speak about their home atmosphere, their parents and also learn to share with friends and siblings.

1...Don't rebuke your child unnecessary or on trifle issues. Either teach them or ignore them. Children have monkey's habit and very energetic in this age. If they don;t obey you, try to persuade them.

2...Never use the words like " Are you mad ?, You fool ! Duffer.." etc while you are angry with your child. Children are very tender in emotions and such words imbibe in their minds forever. They may take any dangerous decision or gradually go to depression.

3...Teach your children to grow  a normal behaviour  towards physically or mentally challenged children. Teach them that all are alike. They also have same sentiments as other children.

4...
