Parents behavior and mental health of children – what is the connection? Let’s dig it more in this write-up, so stay connected.
You plant a seed, take care of it, water it daily, ensure proper sunlight and air reaching the soil and after some days the leaves appear. Wow great! Someone else in your neighbor also plant a tree but didn’t bother to take enough care of them and they didn’t grow at all. In both the scenarios, seeds are at fault or the one who planted them?
You bought a car, maintain it well, get it serviced frequently and it didn’t give you hard time on long drives as well. Your friend took a brand-new car instead drove it harsh, didn’t take it for weekly maintenance and one day it refused to get started. Again, whom to blame for this?
I am sure, my smart audience must have found the connection already. Yes! The better we treat things or plants, the best their performance or growth would be.
Coming towards the children! Do you have any idea when parenting is supposed to be started? First let me explain, parenting here. Parenting is an art; it is a skill that every parent should learn from the very first day. Yes, the very first day, when a mother conceives and not the birthday. Being a parent, it is your utmost responsibility to provide basic life needs to your child such as clothing, shelter, food, and protection from all kinds of harmful things & acts.
Unfortunately, most of the parents forget the last part, “Protection from harmful acts”. Anything that can hurt your children is harmful. It is not only the hand raising only, but it can also be your words even that can hurt your child upbringing. Just like a gardener or the car owner, you need to be as protective and caring as possible towards your little ones.
Let me share few ways to maintain a positive and healthy environment at home. The very first thing is a strong bond between parents and children. Being parents, you should understand that you don’t need to be judgmental and criticizing at all. Whenever, your children comes to you to discuss something, please listen to them carefully. Don’t stop them, no matter how busy you are, after all children are most important and you need to make them feel so. When they feel their importance, they will develop a different kind of prestige and special feelings for themselves that would increase their confidence level and love for one own self.
Explain them that failure is not a destination, but a part of every effort or process before you succeed.
Always talk positive about your children. Don’t discourage them at any phase of life. Give them the required confidence from home and you will see your kids doing miracles in the outside world.
Don’t forget to read bed-time stories to your children and the most important bed-time hugs. These practices will have a magical impact on your children’s overall personality for sure.
Being parents, when you actually execute these tips, you will feel an exceptionally positive change in their mental health. This way you will be raising good, positive souls that finally creates a peaceful environment at home and for surroundings.
Yes, what a beautiful way to pay back society by giving them positive, healthy minds that can play their part in grooming others as well.
