A survey conducted in France during the mid -50s asked French housewives: “Name the first luxury of modern living.” Can you guess the answer? It was ‘running water’( or simply put, the water supply through pipelines right into one’s home)! Tell that to today’s housewife and you’ll have her in splits! Yes, times have changed and so has our lifestyle. Several of you might have probably stolen time-off from your hectic work schedule to read this page now, because -
Reason 1 : You feel the guilt of not being a good parent
Reason 2 : The stress overpowers you often and throws your child to the background
Reason 3 : Your child himself is the reason for your stress.
Choose your reason and read on.
Reason 1 : You feel the guilt of not being a good parent.
Good news for you! You are continuing to read this page because you are willing to change. You have an open mind to try on new positive approaches. Take my word: You deserve the joy of being a good parent.
Tell yourself aloud: “THE GUILT IS OVER.” Forgive yourself for that pricking past - the time when you often rated yourself as a wicked parent. Stop being emotionally upset. It’s time to click the “reset” and “refresh” button in your personal life - all for the sake of your child and you. Let us set off with a 3 point-formula:
(i) Start by loving yourself and claiming to be an ideal parent.
Let me remind you: You are what you think you are. Do you agree that your wedding costume was meant exclusively for that special day? Now, get into the ‘Loving-Parent’ role, only never to quit it. The stage is set.
(ii) Promise to start growing up the second time, alongside your child.
You checked the water’s temperature before giving your baby a bath, right? And bothered to taste the food before feeding him. From now on, you will be what we would like your child to be. In his presence and absence. For this, you need to restart your emotional growth and should know how to handle yourself. Choose the method that would suit you: meditation, yoga… Your emotional stability helps bring out the genius in your child.
(iii) Be a regular visitor to this site.
Well, that’s the simplest of all, you say? Have you experienced the joy of watching the first blossom of the plant on your balcony? You were excited because you watered it regularly. Don’t forget to catch up with periodical suggestions from the pages of geniuschildren.org because sincere efforts NEVER fail.
