We are the parents of future generations and many of us are puzzled about it.

As a parent, we have many doubts like what’s the best way of perfect parenting?

How to become a good parent?

What should we do for the goodwill of our children?

What is the best way to raise the child?

How to inculcate good habits in our child?

A child is the most precious gift of god for every parent, every parent wants to give the best facility to their kids beyond their limit. Parenting is an art that consists of many theories behind it, some scientific and some practical. Or you can say parenting is a recipe with ingredients of love, care and a special bonding between parents and their children. It takes the oper time to induce in our lifestyle. But many of us do not have enough time to spend with our little ones. Like every other parent, we also have dreams that our children should be perfect.

Indeed, our children should be all-rounder in all areas. They should obey the elders, be confident, always tell the truth, Good in the study, a favourite student in school, good in sports, Active and energetic and many more expectations from our small kids. Perhaps it’s an ideal situation. It’s good to have expectations but for that, we should also work in some areas. Core thing, we should also work on ourselves to make a perfect parent and that’s start with a positive attitude, care, love and adoration.

“Children often copy their parents, Elders and teachers. They will develop the habits of the people around them. So, if you want your child to be honest, peaceful and happy, you should be that way first.” – Unknown

Children love to imitate; they want to copy everyone in their surroundings. As most of the time, they would spend with their parents. So, Parents play a major role in their character building. Most children would be influenced by their father and mother. Every kid wants to grow up and become just like his or her father or mother. Kids pick up habits, walking and talking style of their parents and often imitating them is their favourite recreation also.

Our good practices will help children to become a good human being in future, the way we communicate with our elders, neighbours and peers will make an image for them. Good communication has the proper combination of language, pitch and proper response. To teach all these to our children it’s very complicated for them to understand. So, a better way would be to start a proper conversation in front of children. Like we should give proper respect to our elders, so our kids will also learn the same. This will help them to develop kindness, empathy, respect towards others feeling

Being a parent many times we are confused about what is the correct age to start learning to be our little one. Early age is the best time to develop many habits in children. research says the majority of brain development would complete before 5 to 6 years of child’s age which include intellect grows, and thinking, learning and problem-solving skill. which makes the basic foundation for future learning, health and life success. For parents, it’s a golden time to mould their child. That’s why we should nurture the child’s body and mind properly. All the children are good seeds of big trees. They need love as water and care as soil.  We can support healthy brain growth by speaking to, playing with, and caring for our child.

Exposure to different environments and giving them age-appropriate challenges will give them confidence and our moral support will increase their confidence. Share small household chores and help them to finish them, after that our little appreciation will boost their confidence. They would feel responsible.it would help them understand the values and responsibility.

In our busy schedule, we should give some time to our little ones because as they are like clay how we would like to shape them they will. Our behaviour and proper time will help them to grow and be a better person for this society.
