Hi there!!
If you are a parent by now you must have experienced that you were rewarded for all your good deeds and criticized, sometimes brutally, for all the misdeeds… Right!!
Well that was quite a common approach of parenting in the past and even in the recent past as well… But things have changed a lot from the perspective of parenting.
Today we are more sensible and conscious regarding our parenting principles and their effects on our children… That is where the Positive Parenting Ideas generated from.
Thank God, for that 😊💗
Well positivity is no more a fancy word. In today’s competitive environment Positivity is the only thing that keeps you motivated and moving forward. Positive outlook, needless to say, improves our quality of thought and action along with our responses towards a particular situation.
In Positive Parenting children are trained to look into a situation with a positive a mindset instead of just following the rulebook of right and wrong. They work and act as a conscious being and gradually that becomes a part of their personality.
Moreover it improves relationship and bonding between parents and children which is a great thing because with time somehow the distance in relationship often jeopardize the most beautiful bond on earth.
So next time you find your tiny ones gets caught red handed for breaking something or messing up your important things or destroying your make-up kit.. instead of punishing them make them understand why are you really upset with their behaviour and give them one opportunity to rectify themselves.
Similarly when your tiny ones are giving you a moment of pride, instead of handing them over things from their wishlist, appreciate generously and make them realise why you are so proud of their work and how they have reached to another level of being a good human being 💝.
With the old school parenting style of reward and punishment we miss the chance of understanding the work that has been done and the reason of the consequences of either reward or punishment. It lacks compassion and empathy which I think is very very important when it comes to Parenting.
Though its not an easy task but with time we learn better things and especially if it is something related to our children, our bonding with them & their character; certainly we must give ourselves a chance to improve.
Bottomline is often we fail to realise that most of the time, the situation is not the real problem, but our reaction towards the situation is. Hence, with a changed view, an open mind and a positive attitude we can look into things in a way never looked before and find long-term solution without compromising our peace of mind.
In short if I say in the words of Eleanor Roosevelt – “You can often change your circumstances by changing your attitude.”
