Developing children as Good Citizen

Dear Parents

Upbringing of children is very challenging task. It is not based on instructions. Parents and elders have a very big role in this journey. Parents need to demonstrate right behavior to the children. 

A very simple things such as getting water for drinking on their own and not asking to be served. Elders need to demonstrate to child that they also take the water on their own and not demand/ask. The child observes this behavior and works as per this. 

When the child grows up you will notice that child does his work on his own. A simple habit of wrapping bed sheet from one's bed every morning is important, this develops self discipline. All the family members if do the work at home on their own in front of child, child learns this as a standard practice and does this work routinely.

No special efforts are needed but elders, parents need to demonstrate the actions which they want the child to develop. Do not expect perfection in work as outcome but concentrate on participation in the work. Regular participation will develop in good habit and child will remember the discipline.

Important point is to keep children happy, give them respect and love, parents can see a huge difference in child behavior. 

In decision making with child requirement be clear whether you want to give the child what the child asks OR you want to say NO. Whatever be the decision of yours please stick to the same. The child will cry, make all dramas, let it be, explain the child that the things desired will not be given. Crying is not harmful to child but that is the only means available to child to negotiate with elders to get the things child desires.

The bottom line is lead by example for the child. Child picks up all the things you want the child to learn. It is never by instruction but by demonstrating.

The journey of child development is long and goes to the age of 15/16 years. Lot of commitment and dedication required from parents/ elders.

Preschool for Best Upbringing

The life style of the society has changed phenomenally in India. The social fabric is changed. Earlier days we used to have a family of structure, wherein all the elders used to be staying in one big family The children used to learn by observing elders, siblings, neighbor. All the skills required as such gross motor skill, fine motor skill, cognitive skill, socializing, language skills used to get developed without much input from the parents. The changed life style is such that this very foundation of the great family is gone. Now the parents are staying in various  cities away from the big family staying together. The family structure is now changed to mother, father and child. Both parents are working and hence child is left to day care home OR with the home maid. Children learn by observation and not by teaching. With parents, siblings, neighbors not be available for observation and learning children slowly get attracted to other means of learning i.e. Television, mobile...
