Parents in eyes of kids

What if we were put under the scanner by our kids?

What are our kids thinking about us?

How do they view us?

Do they think Oh! my dad is always busy, he has no time for me. My mom doesn't give me time, she goes to work and when she is home she is busy in the kitchen.

We are role models for our kids, they look up to us, they immitate us in their own sweet way. Every one loves a child as the child is innocent not influenced by the world.

Let us look at, how we can be good role models for our kids?

We don't need to get defensive when our child catches us misbehaving. We can take advantage of this situation and turn our discomfort in a learning opportunity. When we get caught using bad language, we should explain to the child that we were wrong, we made a mistake. We should take responsibilty for our outburst and not shift the blame on the other person. We should admit our error and apologize. If, we do that we teach our child/ren that we too make mistakes, but we are willing to take responsibilty and apologize too. This can set a right example of taking responsibilties and can act as role model for the child.

Instances like these can ensure that child understands that his parents are not super humans, they too tend to err, but are wise to accept it.

Imagine your child accepting a mistake of shouting at his friend.

Don't we always want our kids to be a better human being than us?

That's all for now.
