How often do you PRAISE your children?

Parenting is the most toughest job in the world.  How much ever we be careful, we tend to go wrong somewhere or the other. Mild mistakes are ok, but extreme level of parenting will leave a huge dent in the lives of your children. May be you are not doing it out of intention, it may be due to your own parenting , or due to societal pressures or due to fears from what you've personally encountered in life or even due to your unfulfilled desires. Whatever may be the reason, its important for you to unlearn or resolve certain extreme behaviours of yours in order to be a good parent. No one is perfect, but try to be conscious and observe any extreme patterns in your parenting behaviour. 

On that elaborative intro for my today's topic, let's address ONE common issue of parenting that may help to nuture our kids in a better way EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY. We all love receiving compliments, so do our kids. It's important for us , as parents to frequently PRAISE our children. I agree, we do constantly applaude to our little growing infant and toddler. But then slowly the number of praises tends to reduce , with more of commends and teachings taking over. I understand we gotta teach our little prince or princesses what to do and what not to do, but lets add alot of EMPATHY, CHEERFULNESS, loads of APPLAUDES, bundles of PRAISES all along while we tend to bring them up into responsible citizens. 


Just imagine how happy you feel when someone PRAISES you. As adults if we feel so overjoyed with compliments from people we dont even know properly , imagine the amount of happiness and joy our kids will have everytime you PRAISE them. Just imagine the amount of CONFIDENCE they'll grow up with when they are assured that their PARENTS are always happy for them. Just imagine how EXCITED will they be to try out new things and show them to you everytime. Kids world is really small in the beginning , before they grow up and enter into the vast world. and in thier small world PARENTS are the KING &  QUEEN and the rest are jus OBSERVERS. So, they tend to LEARN, SEEK, ASK, QUESTION, RECEIVE, GAIN, LOSE, BE HAPPY, BE SAD, FEEL JOYFUL, STAY CLAM, FEEL ANXIOUS, FEEL INSECURE, STAY CONFIDENT , SUFFER WITH LOW SELF-ESTEEM, all because of PARENTS or the ENVIRONMENT in which they GROW UP. Few kids may be smart enough to overcome any situations tactfully and convert them into a fuel for their growth.  But a majority of CHILDREN are just living with such feelings all through their life and passing on such emotions into their RELATIONSHIPS, and onto their KIDS. 





Being a PARENT I understand it is important not to over PAMPER kids, but atleast lets pamper them daily for something or the other, while taking care of teaching them the  good and bad, and the values of life simultaneously . Let's give them the assurance that mamma and pappa loves you and will have your back even if you fail for watsoever reason , but if it is becoming a pattern of negligence then you gotta watch out. Let's give them confidence to express what is happening in their life, be it at school, or home. Let's give them a hope that we have their back even if they are rejected from a LOVER who may not be worth for them. Let's keep our doors of LOVE open when they need our LOVE the most. Lets BE THEIR CONSTANT CHEERLEADER, even if they FALL OR FAIL AT TIMES, but make sure you pump them up to WIN AGAIN,
