Saturday, May 9th, 2009


Nobody can deny the fact that children going to schools and learn a lot. But there are a lot of things that is to be learned at home through parents. Educating the young ones at home is one of the most important things for the parents.

Parents cannot solely depend on schools to develop all the good qualities in a child. Initiative has to be taken at home. Good discipline, respecting the elders, high self esteem etc can be taught at home. No doubt educational institutes try to imbibe good qualities in students but no institute will go out of the way to teach those extra things that matter in life. Studies show that high self esteem is one of the few ingredient for developing happiness and overall success in life.

Constant bullying by another child can make your child believe that he or she is unlovable, not worthy and imperfect. Here the parents should try to keep a watch on their child and lookout for signs of low self esteem. Parents should educate their child about how to tackle situations if someone makes fun of them. The first step is to make your child feel that his or her parents are always available and ready to help. This will definitely boost the self confidence of your child. Parents can be a source of unconditional love, and encouraging them to see themselves as worthy of affection and trust.

Children always imitate their parents. Parents themselves should behave in such a way that their children develop confidence. Those who fight in front of their children or behave rudely with others will find the same qualities in their children later on. Children who have developed a strong sense of self discipline can deal better with peer pressure and life’s ups and downs.

You can teach you child every day, every hour or even every minute the only thing required is that you have to be conscious when your children are around. While driving you can make sure that you don’t jump signals or drive against the rule which will definitely help your children when they grow up. Similarly saying something bad about someone in front of your child should be avoided. If someone has helped you then try to acknowledge him or her in front of your child. This will help your child to develop good manners. Losing temper at the drop of a hat should always be avoided as it will send wrong signals to your children and they might do the same and become short tempered.

Children are often described as clay; you can mold them as you want.
