Your child is unique!

-



"I wonder if my son will turn out alright!" 
"My daughter is always wasting her time -----"
"My children are not listening to me!!!"
There are many occasions in a day when you don't trust your child or believe in her/his abilities! Do you trust your child? How much do you trust? Do you strongly believe that your child will grow up to be a good successful human being? Or do you have doubts? Many times, parents do not want to share their mistrust or disbelief with anyone, even with their spouses. Sometimes, they don't even acknowledge that they mistrust their child or disbelieve their child's capabilities. But, the child can perceive that you DO NOT TRUST HER/HIM! The child also can sense exactly in which situation, you do not trust the child or disbelieve.

You need to understand that this one factor plays havoc with your mental health and your child's confidence and well-being! You need to work on this to ensure that neither your mental health gets affected nor does your child's. Here are a few tips:
  • From the day of conception, believe that your child is going to be unique!
  • Whenever you interact with your child, use positive words which helps build self-confidence in your child.
  • When your child fails at some task, do not be disappointed, it is not the end of life. Children are developing individuals and not miniature adults. They learn!
  • When your child behaves in a deviated manner, instead of losing hope on your child, try to analyse why your child is behaving that way. This may throw light on the actual reasons and avoid your disbelief.
  • Lastly, never think your child will be a failure. It will come true!!!!! Remember, your child stands up to your expectations! Beware of what you expect, you will soon get rewarded!
Always give top priority to your mental health and the well-being of your child. Peace at home is going to bring success to everyone!

                "A mother understands what a child does not say" This statement truly sums up all that a mother is expected to do and all that she does. Right from when a mother has the baby in her womb, she knows exactly what's happening with her baby. And her instincts tell her to meet the needs of the little one. Every mother does!         Let us take a look at all the tasks a mother does from morning till evening -  Well, you know better than me, right?
