We bring our kids in this world. That little bundle needs to be raised, to be taught every single thing. The child comes like a blank slate. But ever thought that the first-time parent is also like a blank slate when it comes to parenting? Both the mother and the father have no clue as to how they will raise the child. Not just raising, raising the child to be a good human!
So, who teaches the parents all these? Of course, the child! Parenting is a continuous learning process. Here are a few things that I learnt as a parent for the past few years:
- Moms need not get paranoid all the time. Every fall, every hurt that the kid endures makes him stronger.
- Kids have a big, big heart. They forget and forgive very easily. In all these years of bringing up my 2 kids, I have yelled at them, become angry with them so many times; sometimes for a reason, sometimes without a reason. But every time they have come and hugged me back and forgiven me, rather they don’t even remember my meltdowns.
- No book, web site, person can teach parenting, it’s totally a hands-on process. Books, sites are very helpful in clearing doubts or guiding but then each child is different and so is each parent. Every parent brings up his child the way he wants to!
