Parenting is all about Patience

If you really want to test your patience have kids. Raising a child is 20years project and if all goes well, you’ll cherish hardship or regret parenting.

Parenting is a beautiful journey with amazing moments which increases our accountability by choice or forcibly. While raising my two boys who are 13 and 9 years old, I have read multiple books on parenting and incidentally didn’t get clear definition for parenting. Sometimes it become difficult to implement experiences of our parents, relatives, and friends because every child is unique. Hence, we need to be cautious while implementing inputs received from someone who is not directly involved in the growth of the child.

There is nothing called good or bad parenting. Parenting is not about how you raise your kids but the way you raise them. Whether you are working mother or homemaker it has limited impact on the overall growth of the child. I think parents who shares a special bond & love with their kids irrespective of time spent with them can be termed as good parenting.

For me kids mental and physical health are the most important aspect and I strongly suggest all the parents to focus on human values than academic values. Scientifically its proven, kids with good mental and physical health does very well in their professional life. As a parent we need to adopt technology to understand the daily growth of our child. We should avoid passing subjective comment on the academic performance of any child. Let’s do the detailing and understand why my kids is doing good in some subject and not doing well in other subject. Nagging doesn’t help, ultimately it irritates the kids and over period they stop enjoying the learning process.

We as a parent need to act like a mother, father, teacher, and most of the time their best friend. Trust me it’s not easy, but I am aware “Children don’t listen to us. They observe us.” Let’s create the conducive learning environment for our kids so they blossom like a healthy and colorful flower.
