“The sign of great parenting
is not the child’s behaviour… The sign of truly great parenting is the parent’s
behaviour.” Each child is different and every parent has his or her way of
dealing it. Being a parent we have to guide our child in every bit of
activity they do, to make them understand and learn the difference between
right and wrong. It’s our responsibility to inculcate a good behaviour in our
child. Here are few tips :-
· Be a good
Example: - Children’s love to
imitate, and they naturally think whatever their parents do is right. So, we
must set a good example.
· Encourage a
level of Responsibility: - We must
give our children opportunities to help us.
· Acknowledge
a good behaviour: - Show that you are
pleased when your child is doing things that you approve of, such as giving
another child some of his or her apple slices, or playing nicely with toys.
· Discipline: - When your child does something you dislike, say so.
Keep it simple: “You kicked Tiara. Kicking is wrong because it hurts people.”
We should always talk about the behaviour as being wrong, rather than the child
being “naughty” or “bad”. Don’t unintentionally reward bad behaviour by giving
your child extra attention because of it.
· Differentiate
between right & wrong : - Give
your child the opportunity to learn what is unacceptable. We should make them
understand that colouring on drawing book is acceptable but colouring on wall
is unacceptable.
“We make a living by
what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
So be a good
teacher and a best parent because we are responsible for their development and
learning.
