The parenting skill- Today's requisite...........!

                   The parenting skill- Today’s requisite......!

                Yesterday I came across my friend, a doctor by the profession in the evening. After many days we met and initially had general talk. I asked him if anything was new to be shared. He replied that he was confused about his son. I asked further him what he wanted to share. He told that his son was an impatient at many things. Every time he was doing the task in a hurry. He didn’t concentrate upon the work properly. He was somewhat like the impatient and naughty. His character and nature were changed. He became argumentative too.

                  After that I requested him to accept him what he is. May be he was what the atmosphere and surrounding people. The child is influenced by everything either technology or human nature or language or attitude. These are taken into account when the person suddenly changes and behaves differently. At a time we don’t need to argue or blame him. But we have to accept and start listening to him attentively. Further we as parents try to know what he likes doing and dislikes. We have to be aware of what language and words to be used in front and with him. Even what tone and approach we set before him, which matters to shape his character and behaviour. It is an essential for the parents to avoid much use of television and technology. Instead they can keep a set of good books, creative work, and famous personality’s brief introduction with pic, newspapers, and magazines. At same time they need to look for some positive in him.         

                                      This is not enough to keep such things around him, but put these resources into day to day routine. Slowly they can interact with him on these. They can ask him whether he knows about the magazines. They need to keep friendly, openness, oneness, and mutually rapport with him. In this way they can motivate him whenever he asks anything. However they need to care of not forcing or complaining him. On the other hand, they have to keep attitude of motivation such as, “what happened is good, and what will happen to be good.” They make the child to feel at home.

                       It is a journey of development of his character and behaviour. So they don’t expect a miracle on the part of their child. They need to remember that the Rome cannot be built in a day. It takes time, more importantly to have patience with him. 

                                As soon as I had my sharing with the doctor friend, he looked somewhat to be contended and got my message indirectly. By that time I took his permission and went away. In the end, I was also convinced by my talk with him. And the parenting skill is required for today’s education. The development of the child and the parents are supposed to go in hand to hand. It is their journey and likely mistake, wrong, and frustrations happen between them. That’s why the parents are requested that they have to wait for proper time to guide the children. They can also offer of the moral support to them whenever anything happens.

                              I think that the government needs to offer a short term courses on parenting skill, life skills, and sustainable environment. At least the parents can have practical ideas and approach to apply in their daily life. In this way they can train themselves and brush up the leadership skill. Easily they can get on with their children if they get such training from the government. That will make their life smooth and comfortable. In this direction the private agencies need to take an initiative and bring the parents on one platform. Further they can be involved into some activities of the school such as sports meeting, annual day, and much more. I still remembered what Dr. A.P.J Kalam sir pointed out in the speech that only three people can transform the whole world; these are the student, the parents, and the teacher.
