Sometimes, parents need to educate themselves. There is no theory that says that parents can not make mistakes. After all they are humans and they are bound to make mistakes while dealing with the kids. It is natural. We all possess few great qualities and some shortcomings as well. Most often, our kids teach us in the best way possible. They don’t realize it but yes, they do leave an imprint of essential learning’ for parents. Few such moments make us introspect about our values and parenting style. The process of introspection makes us more aware of our values and needs. The more parents can identify with their values and understand their needs, better they will be as parents.
Keep checking parenting styles of your friends, colleagues and family members. It provides a great insight and is an amazing learning experience. We don’t always need to commit a mistake to learn essential things of life. That way, our whole lifetimes will not be enough to make us perfect. So it’s better to learn from others and cut upon our mistakes. We can always implement good qualities of others.
Talking about feelings is always a wonderful step towards achievement of parenting goals. Many parents don’t prefer to talk about feelings, thinking that children will learn on their own. But think of benefits if you start discussing feelings with kids. Children are exposed to stream of emotions at an early age. They can not comprehend all of them. Some make them sad and some others confuse them. Yes, they can cope up on their own but a little bit of guidance always comes handy.
