Tips to Take Care of Your Children

Parenting is the most difficult part in ones life. I have two children eldest son age 14 years and youngest daughter 6 years old. To me both my children are two eyes of mine and to me both are equal. My life's biggest achievement will be if I can raise both of them to become fine citizen and nice human being when they grow up. Today's world what children need most is time from their parents. When both the parents are working and in a nuclear family what children aspire most are valuable and quality time sharing with them. Give good education to your children, good character and legacy than inheritance.

Every child is born with equal calibre and intelligent
It is most important aspect one must understand that every child is born with certain unique ability and calibre. If a child has certain fascinations allow and groom it to come out in true colour and to its perfection. A child's fascination could be dancing, painting, singing or any other creative hobby, encourage them to their potential.

As a parent usually one makes mistake by forcing your child to do certain things, which may not be their ambition or hobby. Because your neighbour's child has got 95% you want your child too to have more than 95% in his academics. This will unnecessarily put pressure on the child. I also agree that this is a competitive world and to get admission in good school or college the child has to do well. But each child has limitation.

Some children are bit slow in picking up their lessons compare to other child. You must first understand why the child is unable to pick up. With love and affection you must make the child to under stand his lacuna. Some children have problem with their eyes or ears and we some times ignore saying the child is giving pleas not to study. And this could be the reason your child is unable to give his best. We as a parent have to go out to the root cause and treat the child medically then with sympathically with the child so that he or she can perform their best.

Give your child the gift of your time; this is the most critical part in this world. We all are busy in our career building and we don't have adequate time for our children. We purchase every thing that money can do. But we fail to give quality time for the children.

After coming from office, we must make it a point to spend with our children. Find out what has happened in the school. Why he or she has unable to do well in the school. Has your child completed his or her home work? Create a study atmosphere, so that studies become a habit to your child. Schedule TV viewing time table. You too sit with your child with a news paper so that child too studies, instead wasting time.

Involve with your children's education and work with them, so that they can be groomed for their future.

Children study with out proper planning and time management. Most of their time goes with their home work. And they study with out planning. As a result they study unsystematically, and when the examination nears they get nervous. Sit with your child make plans and time table for their studies and examination. Make a habit of regular studies, which will ease the child to reduce examination tension.

Time management
Time management is the most critical part of your child education and studies at home. We as parents should help them in time management. Following are some time management techniques:

Set Priorities
Help your child in setting their priorities between their studies and play, between different subjects, between studies and TV. How to allocate time to different subjects so that they can cover all subjects twice at least before their examination. How to improve their hand writing and grammar.

Proper Time Allocation

Which subjects they should study in morning and evening. When they should play and what is the time they should come back and sit for their studies. As a parent you should help the child to allocate their time.

Speedy Completion

If your child is confused, facilitate them in planning and give ideas for speedy completion of their studies. Meeting the dead line in their subjects.

Being Punctual
We as a parent should inculculate the habit of punctuality in their studies and other activites. If the child is punctual then it will help in reduction in stress.

Managing Interruptions
We as a parent should help them to manage them from interruption from their friends, phone calls etc.

Being Proactive
You should help your child to be always having a proactive approach, which help your child to reduce mistakes and helps their time management. Your child should able to analyze and take proactive steps not preventive steps. Once your child learns to manages their time properly then they need not do fire fighting jobs, which creates stress and increases mistakes, reduces your child efficiency.

Providing for relaxation
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. Similarly putting pressure only on studies will not help your child, he or she should also play games and watch TV in the weekends. Encourage your child to see national geography, or other education programme in weekends and other time devoted to education and some of their hobbies.

Food and Nutrition

There exits a sound mind in a healthy body, and food and nutrition plays important role in the all round development of the child. Children should avoid Junk food and feed your child with balanced diet. Child's nutrition should contain more of proteins, carbohydrates, some portions of fat, rare minerals, lot of fibrous food and sufficient amount of water. Proteins will help your child have good physique.

Empathy towards ill and senior citizens
Right from childhood build in child's mind to be sympathetic towards ill and suffering and show regards and empathy towards elders and senior citizens.

Character building
Make a habit in children routine to read great people's life history and incorporate some of their principle in their life. Give emphasis on character building. You as a parent should set example so that your children follow them.

Spirituality and worship to God
Create a routine in your house to worship god by the entire member every day. This will help your child to have faith in god, and in long run it will help to develop their mind in spirituality.

Therefore it becomes even more important that you should not do any such thing which your child should not learn. To discipline your children it is your moral duty to show them exemplary conduct.
