The Art of Parenting

Parenting is one of the most difficult as well as beautiful responsibility. The blog name says the beautiful art of parenting and yes, indeed it is! Ever seen a painter using brushstrokes on a blank canvas? Check his sincerity and carefulness while using the colors. Even the brushstrokes are so calculated so that the end result exactly comes out the way he wanted to. A slight miss of brush, a wrong usage of color and painting does not remain the same. Similarly with parenting, its nothing less than art which needs to be performed with utmost care, devotion and sincerity.

Every would-be parent aspires to be the greatest one. Most of them seek inspiration from their own parents and few others prefer to improve upon the parenting they received. Either way, the end result is ambition of proving to be the best ever parent. Parents want to give their best to their kids in terms of knowledge, wisdom and as we Indians love to call, ‘Sanskaras’. The art of parenting comes up with huge responsibility. Most of the people wonder, how do you define parenting? The answer is not easy because whatever we will say will turn out to be an ideal list yet there are few basic things associated with parenting. Apart from providing food, clothes and shelters to our children, parents love their kids unconditionally. They treat their kids equally and there is no gender bias. Parents also have the responsibility of guiding their children on the right path in the best way possible. Parents need to combine pragmatism and idealism while imparting values to their children. On that note, let’s try to learn the beautiful art of parenting.
