DIARY OF A WORKING MOM

Yiepsie It is not possible to have knowledge of each and everything in the world. I feel that books are our best friends but even books are not able to share some of life's experiences.  Einstein has said, The only source of knowledge is experience. As a mother, I will say that it is not ethical to make your child a book worm. Indulge your child in practical work instead of a theoretical one. Stop telling him that water in the glass is hot, instead let him experience the heat. Personal experiences are teachers by themselves. Having a personal bad experience will make your child aware not to repeat the mistake. I also believe in sharing my experiences with my kids. This includes both negative as well as positive. Your child follows your footsteps and sharing will save him from repeating the same mistake which you have made.  Share your successes and failures in the form of a story. In this way, your child will always be enthusiastic about listening to you. Through your stories...

Yiepsie, Dr. Haim said Children are like wet cement. whatever falls on them makes an impression. As a parent, i t is our moral duty to educate our child for the best. But the best can only come if we give them the best environment. It is not ethical to keep a child busy in studies or games. Even a child needs entertainment in his life. The entertainment at home can come in the form of gardening, reading, painting, project making, watching television, movies, playing video games or playing online games, etc. Each and every type of entertainment educates and keeps your child engaged. You should choose their source of entertainment wisely. Among all the sources of entertainment, watching serials and reality shows on television does not impart a positive impression and it also brings the early hormonal changes in children. Do not allow children to watch cartoon serials for a long time because your child will start acting like one. Show movies to your child according to their age. As a todd...

Yiepsie, Your child is your wealth and pride. So you must teach him manners and it should be started at an early age. Teach him about right and wrong. Put efforts to make your child a good person instead of a successful one. Any child can be successful but only a well-taught and well-mannered child will become a good person. Sometimes a child's tender age and innocence do not allow him to listen to his parents. Thus parents must teach him mannerism by putting their all efforts. I believe that while dealing with children one parent should be strict and the other should be lenient or they can take turns in becoming strict and lenient. If both parents are strict then it will lead to fear, rebellion, anger, depression. If both parents are lenient then your child will become underachiever, will lack confidence during tough times and overprotectiveness will become their weakness. These days the scenario is that parents pamper their child a lot. They do not hurt his emotions. This is wro...
