We may not want to, but we do make life difficult for our school going children. We hurt their self-esteem when we say "If Rahul and Leena can get good ranks, we can't you?” We hurt their emotions when we give them laptops but not our laps to sit upon. We take away their self-control when we tell then to hit back when somebody hurts them.
What happens to these kids with weakened emotional, mental and morale mind-set? They walk the path of suicide, violent behavior, drug abuse and extreme depression.
As parents and mentors, we have to act before it's too late. Start with these few insights. Based on observation and child psychology, they empower the kid’s mental and emotional make-up.
1. Don't insult your child ever. Choose your words very carefully even when he has done something wrong. For instance, don't say "You are a bad boy because you broke the flower vase". Say "Breaking things is bad". Address the problem. Not the person.  Be first to comment this article |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 156

And (remember) when Luqman said to his son when he was advising him: "O my son! Join not in worship others with Allah. Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah is a great Zoolm (wrong) indeed. (Holy Qur’an 31:13)
"O my son! If it be (anything) equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens or in the earth, Allah will bring it forth. Verily, Allah is Subtle (in bringing out that grain), WellAware (of its place).” (Holy Qur’an 31:16)
"O my son! AqimisSalat (perform AsSalat), enjoin (people) for AlMaroof (Islamic Monotheism and all that is good), and forbid (people) from AlMunkar (i.e. disbelief in the Oneness of Allah, polytheism of all kinds and all that is evil and bad), and bear with patience whatever befall you. Verily! These are some of the important commandments ordered by Allah with no exemption.” (Holy Qur’an 31:17)
"And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, Allah likes not each arrogant boaster.” (Holy Qur’an 31:18)
"And be moderate (or show no insolence) in your walking, and lower your voice. Verily, the harshest of all voices is the voice (braying) of the ass." (Holy Qur’an 31:19) Be first to comment this article | Quote this article on your site | Views: 159 |
