Parents change your mindset to see happy children

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: June 17, 2017

Parents let’s take this opportunity to change. No not your child, but your own mindset. You know the problem is not in that generation. This problem is in our generation. You were brought up to believe that marks and ranks define you. QYou were made to believe that your status in the society is by the salary you earned. Failure was disgrace to the family more so because “log se kya kahenge!” Feelings, choice, interest and passion were words that were never uttered or asked.
You and I, Madhurie Singh are conditioned. But, we can change. It’s not going to be easy. But trying is in our hands. Let’s start from today.
1. You need to start focusing on your child’s interest and passion. For this you have to let go of your own passion and interest. You did or could not follow your own passion must end where your nose tip ends. Beyond that you child’s passion and interest must be important. It’s not going to be easy but it’s not impossible. Start by reminding yourself each day that you have lived your life and your child needs to live his or her’s.

2. In your time there were few career options only. Not your fault. But in 10-20 yrs you have seen a plethora of career options. So forget your sapna of doctor and engineer. Instead focus on excellence. Change your dialogue to ” Jo bhi karna hai karo par jeejaan se karo!”. “Whatever you want to do, give your best and excel !”

3. I remember business was such a no no in our family. Parents were scared of business as a career option. You don’t need to be told the boom of new age entrepreneurs and startups. There are many examples of teenagers and youth converting their tiny powerful passion into successful business. Not every business will become successful but each failure teaches lot more.

4. Failing and falling early in life is better than when you have a family to support.
Let’s take failure as an opportunity. Life is like a marathon where the children will tire out, fail and fall. They have to get up and start running again. Failure is beautiful as it proves you tried something new, something difficult and something different.

If you think you know someone who needs to be transformed, share this post and connect them.

Dear Parents,

A lot of you and I have parenting questions.

Parenting is life. It is different experience for every family. Hence the problems are different and their solutions are different.

So let’s help each other by asking and answering questions.

I will be giving the most practical answers to your questions. No lecture, no theories and no nonsense.

So comment below and ask your questions related to

  • Children of any age
  • Food and health
  • Behaviour
  • Sibling rivalry
  • Personality
  • Motivation
  • Concentration
  • Sex Education / Body
  • Friendship/ Leadership/ Teamwork
  • Intelligence/ IQ / EQ
  • Anything that bothers you as a parent

Comment below if you have a question.

Confident children, Did I do a good job as a mom?

Written By Madhurie Singh Last Modified Date: September 14, 2016

Confident children, Did I do a good job as a mom?

Image credit: Google

I was asking Hindi chapter questions to my son in grade 6 for his half yearly exam preparation.
The chapter was about a boy who was very bright in his class. This boy was a wizard in Math and topped in Science, History and GK. Also was good in languages. But, his polio affected legs were something that he would be made fun of in his school. Yet he was very patient with other students and never fought with others for such issues.
So the question was, “What are they qualities you like in this boy that you would like to adopt?” This was his text book question.

This is what my son wrote. “I like the fact that the boy is brave, intelligent and very patient. But I do not want any quality of his. I am very happy as I am. I come first in my class, with very good marks in science. I am not bad in Math. I am OK in languages too. I am very good in badminton and football. I am a very good athlete. I think you should not compare children. Each child is good in the way he is. Such questions should not be asked.”

[tweetthis twitter_handles=”#parenting, #confidence,@madhureisingh” display_mode=”box”]Sometimes kids prove that you did a good job as a parent, pat yourself.[/tweetthis]

 

After reading his answer I was quiet for a long time. Do you think I did a pretty good job in instilling self confidence in my sons?

What do you think your child’s answer would be to the same question?
