Role of the parents and grand parents are very important for our families.

Father's role || Grandparent's role || Working mother's role


 

 

 

 

These days fathers are becoming more involved with the raising of children. This is a necessity, with many mothers holding full time jobs. However father should participate in child rearing not out of necessity but because it is better for the children. It inculcates family values in children. On the practical side mothers do appreciate a lightning of their load. My only advice to parents is to be natural and friendly with the children. Some time parents get the feeling that they are not doing enough for their children. This prompts them to spoil the children. Always resist this feeling. Let the children see them for what you are. The children will grow up more balanced and will have a better relationship with you. Your friendliness will give them more confidence.

 

 

 

 

 

 Some time ago nuclear families were more common than joint families. The new generation has now realized the importance of grandparents for their children's upbringing. In bigger cities both parents are workings or are very busy coping with city life. Such parents have realized that grandparents can care for the children and give them a proper value system. When first time parents get nervous at the first sign of illness, it is for grandparents to reassure them. It is always better that children should grow up in the company of family member rather than maids or governesses. However, grandparents sometime over indulge the children. So a proper balance is necessary.


 

 

 

 

 

 

It is common for most educated women to hold a job. Some women give up their job at the time of pregnancy but many have no choice but to continue. It is a good idea to arrange to your schedule so that you get maximum time with your children. There are some schools whose schedules are adjusted for the convenience of working parents.

Remember that the number of hours spent with children is less important than the quality or spirit of the time spent together. Try to interact with the child as much as possible when you are with him. However do not do it as a duty. Children can see through your act. Also take care that the quantity of time spent with the child is not too short because your child needs to observe you at your day to day activities.

You should reserve a certain amount of time for your child every day when you should give him your undivided attention. Never take away this time from your child. Working mothers have a tendency to spoil their children because they feel guilty for not being with their children all the time. Avoid this tendency and behave as a normal mother.

It is my experience that the most successful parents are those who are friendly with their children. Do not look upon children as objects for discipline or reform. They learn more from the example set by you than what you say. A timid or frightened child is likely to grow up with psychological scars. A boy needs a friendly father. A father has to accept his son as he is. Constant criticism is very demoralising. Always make the child feel accepted. Involve your self in your son's activities. Girls are considered to be their mother's responsibility but they also need a friendly father. A friendly father makes her gain in confidence. She also learns how to interact with men.
