Parental Responsibilities In The Upbringing Of Their Children By Ven. Dr. K Sri Dhammananda Parenting is not like any other 9 to 5 job. It is never ending and there is never enough time to do everything. No matter how old your baby is, newborn or toddler, it is never too late to put your baby first and enjoy being a mum or dad. Many parents think that they alone know what is best for the children and therefore expect too much from them. They force their children into tuition classes even though they can cope with their studies. At the same time they are asked to take up ballet dancing (in the case of girls), taekwando (in the case of boys), music lessons, computer classes and so on. On top of this, they insist that their children obtain …show more content…
You will feel guilty about telling your children during their most tender and inquisitive age: ‘Don’t ask so many questions!’ As a caring and responsible parent you should in fact respond readily to that natural inquisitiveness in your child. The scientific way of solving a problem is to look at the problem, find all the data available and then come up with a solution in a coherent manner. Likewise, a child whose curiosity meets with a favoured respond will learn to think and act scientifically as well as creatively and this will serve him well into adulthood. For instance, when you give a toy to your child, you should give it with tender love and joy. Instead, certain parents tend to almost shout: ‘ don’t open it like that. Don’t break the toy, it is very expensive. Do you know how lucky you are to get such a toy?’ If you can afford to buy the toy, he will quite logically think he can afford to break it. You could instead be part of his discovery by telling him: ‘Come my dear, lets open the toy box together,’ and use the fun element instead of the negative element. Give the present with joy and love. It can be done if you are not stressed and unhappy yourself. You must be happy for it is only in a state of happiness that one is comfortable and generous. Parents sometimes are to be blamed for unwittingly inculcating negative social habits in their children. For instance, a parent who asks a
Children do not come with guidelines or instructions. What they do come with is a crucial set of physical and emotional needs that need to be met. To raise children properly, parents duties are not limited to just food, shelter and protection. Parents are largely responsible for their children’s success in life. Parents are required to teach and educate children. They have to shape knowledge and character into their children to prepare them to face the real world. To be successful with this, parents must provide self esteem needs, teach moral and values and provide discipline that is both effective and appropriate. As the generations have changed, many parenting styles have evolved, as well.
The methods or style of parenting, teaching and engagements strong impacts on the child development as it is the primary socialization point for children. It gives children a point of reference as when they are young they grow observing and learning keenly on what their parents are doing.

Attachment theory is the basis of building relationships with your care givers and people around you.

"Your children need your presence more than your presents" Jesse Jackson. Kids always want toys in Christmases and birthdays because it excites and ecstatics them for the day,weeks or even months. However, these emotions don't usually stay long because toys are not a permanent spark of our lives without love in it. Minories don't realize the role of love until they grow up because some are born surrounded by tons of people who love and care about them, and some crave parental bonding . Unlike toys , we don't find love at any stores; therefore, it's the parent's job to show a great affection to their children. It's important for parents to spend plenty of time with their kids in order to make them feel secure and confident. The fact that parents
Webster’s dictionary defines parenting as the process of raising and educating a child from birth until adulthood. As someone who parented four biological children, and earned the title of grandma, I can offer a lot of personal insight into the subject of parenting, and my first pearl of wisdom is that parenting is harder than one would think. Children do not come with an operation manual and it usually only takes new parents only a few days before they realize how blissfully delusional they were. Naturally, well meaning parents who understand the implications of their influence on shaping their child into happy, healthy, and successful adults, are naturally humbled with the awesome responsibility, and seek to develop a parenting strategy with positive empirical results.
Parents are generally responsible for nurturing their children. They therefore encourage their children to behave properly. They nurture them carefully from birth to adolescence to inculcate moral values and raising them to respect their elders and themselves (Advameg, 2016). They also encourage them to be obedient, teach them the right from wrong and make them informed about the importance of higher education. An ideal “good” child is expected to conform to social expectations, be obedience to adults, and be devoted to religion.
The effectiveness of the method of parental training is determined by the presence of compliance with parents, motivation of
There are many different parenting styles that help children develop healthy lifestyles. Dr. Levine focuses this chapter on the authoritarian, permissive and authoritative parents. The authoritarian parent, or the “do as your told” parent as stated in the book, focuses on strict rules for their children. These parents carry a strong “because I said so” ideology and end up hurting their kids more than they help. These kids end up with low self-esteem and high rates of depression. The permissive parent, or the “do your own thing” parent, focus more on a friendship with their child other than a respectful parent-child relationship. These parents have trouble disciplining their child and don’t teach their children correct skills to take responsibility for their actions. The last parenting style, the authoritative parent, are accepting of their child, but also have clear rules and expectations. These parents have appropriate discipline while also focusing on how to better their child. The children of these types of parents have better grades, better social skills and are all around happier. In this chapter, Dr. Levine also focuses on correct ways to be accepting and invested in your child and how important it is to praise effort instead of
The role of a parent in a child’s life is crucial to promote and support the physical, emotional, social, financial, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood. Does this mean that after a child reaches adulthood the job of a parent is over? Unfortunately for parents the job is never over. When raising a child parents must teach child the basics such as talking, walking and eating. They must also teach children certain characteristics of attitude and behavior such as what is right and what is wrong. As the child develops in to an adult, the responsibilities of a parent change as well. Their responsibility is not teaching, but is now maintaining the characteristics that they want their
The consolidated nature of Indian families gives extended family members the power to have great influence over their younger relatives. If this aspect of Indian family life holds true, then it is natural for parents to have a colossal amount of influence over their children. In the Indian culture, parents are a symbol of unquestionable authority and the unmovable force of their household. We can see that Indian children are educated
