Parenting Dilemma


There is one very interesting fact about learning; only five percent of lifelong learning comes from instruction whereas the source of rest of the 95 percent is family and social interactions. One striking thing about learning process of kids is that they learn more from seeing what you do rather than what you say. So if you realize this fact and act accordingly knowing what your work style and daily routine can do to your children, can work magic in the life of a family. As we are talking about parenting style, first of all we need to look at the all the alternatives. This evaluating option will make us feel comfortable and will also bring stability and peace in the overall home environment.

Most often we wonder how we would like to parent our children. The trick is to look back at your own experience. It’s a normal thing to fall back on familiar things whenever we feel overwhelmed or tensed in particular situations. Let’s go back in time and check out the positives and negatives of our upbringing. That’s a great source to develop your own parenting style. If we have a life partner or friends or family members then asking them regarding this topic will also be a good idea. Those members can always share their experiences and provide you with more insight into the parenting psyche. Remember, parenting is always an enjoyable responsibility provided you are willing to think it that way.
