Parents Expectation

Parents

This particular posting is especially for those parents who are in stress at this particular moment for getting their child prepared for the entrance examination of any particular school. I can very well relate to all of them. As a mother of a 5 year old, I also went through the same tensions. The starting point is when you decide to send your children to clear the entrance of any top notch school of the city. As a parent there is no harm in wanting the best for your child however one should always keep in mind the child’s caliber.

They don’t even know what you have planned for them but slowly and gradually they start feeling the pressure. Your sending them to tuitions at such an early age or increasing their study times when they learn more from their environment definitely affects their psyche. Your over expectations soon start showing signs through your child’s behavior. If suddenly your child goes hyper, or suddenly he/she has started misbehaving or started to take every work as a burden then please be cautious as your child wants to say something to you. He/She hasn’t learned these things since birth then why now? This is just one of the ways of him/her telling you that something somewhere is not correct.

As a parent there is nothing wrong to expect the best from your child. However it must always be remembered that THEY ARE CHILDREN and this precious time of their life will never return. Give them only that amount of pressure which they can undergo. Imagine how tough it would be for a 5 year old to prove himself in front of you by getting through any exam or any school. And what if he/she is not able to do so?

The simple solution to all your worries are: Allow them to do their daily tasks and along with it you carry on regular studies. Take real life examples, more of practical studies and give lots of MOTIVATION, henceforth the result will follow. And a last word of advice that if in any case your child is not able to get through, please don’t blame him/her. All of them have brilliant potentials. The only need is to become aware of it and allowing it to grow.

Conserve Fuel

Yes…..I conserve precious resources …..Do  you???? The energy crisis in the country is becoming graver by the day and it is every individual’s responsibility to save  natural resources. We need to educate and advocate the judicious use of natural resources and propagate resource conservation. Resource Conservation lays emphasis on saving water, fuel, paper and electricity targeting the young brigade of the country, as they are the ultimate beneficiaries of conservation efforts made by us today. “To waste, to destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed.”   - Theodore Roosevelt   Change begin within us. As active citizens we must at least save our share…. spreading   the awareness is just a click away…. Earth provides enough to satisfy e

Time Management

In today’s world the most important task for any human being is to manage  time . If you face troubles meeting deadlines, if you keep running haywire for completion of tasks or even if you really find it difficult to take out  time  for your family then probably you are one of the candidates who seriously need to work out on your  time  management skills. Time  Management actually refers to the ability of a person to use his/her  time  productively at work or at home. We have 24 hours in a day, in which we need 8 hours of sleep so that our minds could function properly. This is a proven reality and very less could be done to make changes to it. We all are slowly and gradually becoming the slaves of  time  however here we’ll talk about the art of mastering it. As the number of hours in a day cannot be increased we can definitely work on changing our attitude that may help us in future to become organized. For enhancing our  time  management skills we should first learn to

Shopping with Kids

How often do we go shopping with our kids? I guess, most of us like to leave them home when we are planning to shop for ourselves. We won’t disagree with the fact that when we are shopping for ourselves, the kids push us over to their stuff. And then, we end up purchasing their stuff and sometimes even forget to buy for ourselves something which was necessary. So instead of shouting at them or standing helplessly in front of everyone while they are busy showing their tantrums, one should try and involve them with your own work. Firstly, try and go for shopping less number of times. Secondly, when you prepare a list for yourself, ask your child to do the same. (Remember only things of necessity). Thirdly, Put some amount (small) in your child’s hand, pocket, purse etc. and ask him/her to shop from that particular amount. And also fix some gift, if they save the money from that amount. Then, if your child is creating a fuss over a toy which you think is pretty expensive or not
