The right way of parenting is yet to be known by the mankind.
It’s a complicated process, while indiscriminate affection might lead them to
become unreasonable, not expressing enough love can make them feel secluded. No
matter what you do, loopholes are unavoidable here. The environment in which
you are brought up plays a major role in what you become. You do something
wrong, and your parents get blamed for that more than you. It’s easy sowing a
seed than nurturing it.
The crucial ingredient of near perfect parenting is to spend
your time with them. In such a young age whatever we do, it affects
their life. So we must make sure to be on our best behavior when around them
because whatever we do, they will mirror it. Growing trends of nuclear
families, not enough space to play; increasing role of electronic gadgets is
hindering the healthy process of growing up. Teenagers are getting diagnosed by
diseases at a very early age and the major reason behind it is our contemporary
sedentary lifestyle.
With modernization, countries of the east are mirroring the
steps taken by the west, even in something as intricate as parenting. The
modern day parents are willing to make their infants spend their childhood in
crèches instead of home. The ways of the west are getting prevalent in India in
the name of development. In the surveillance of babysitters or
crèche’s, both the mother and the father are leaving their child unattended in
the name of providing a better future for the child with more income.It can be
said that in the name of a better and stable future, the child’s presentis
being played with. Crowded crèches makes it difficult to pay enough attention
to every child. There is nothing wrong with crèches or baby care centers, as
long as they take appropriate care. The fact remains that unlike the countries
of the west where they have developed a certain alternatives of babysitting, we are not well equipped with the intricacies of childcare
in a city atmosphere, yet.
This process is also affecting the child at many levels. The
early years of isolation leads to many psychological issues and builds a far
fletched gap between the emotions of both the parties. Your absence from your
child’s infant years makes you less reliable for them in the years to come.
The outbreak of puberty can be dramatic as well as rebellious and
trying to control them at that time would be a cumbersome effort. These are the
phases when you need to shift yourself from a parent to a friend, like a
patriotic friend, who won’t judge them for their wrong decisions. It’s the time
to let them know that making mistakes is fine, as long as they learn from it,
for them to know that failing an exam is okay. To build up a certain level of trust
to ensure that they don’t fabricate lies to you is important. All of these
things will make sure to strengthen your bond. What’s needed is
involvement, not interference as it might threaten their personal space, for a
child to become a man, some space is needed and we have to be considerate of
that.
Bringing in a new life into this world and then nurturing it to
make sure that it turns out to be an incorruptible and fine soul is definitely
an exemplary accomplishment. This may seem like an easy path to follow, but
when you travel it, it gets just convoluted.
