Whenever people hear about a parenting workshop, the immediate thought that comes to their mind is, “I don’t need it. I am already doing everything I can.”
And they are not wrong! For most people, parenting means providing; providing things, food, safety, toys, luxury, and their time too. And since they are ‘good providers’, they assume they do not need help in parenting.
Do you agree with them?
Does the job of being a parent end with being a provider? But, of course, since we have more money at our dispersal (than our parents had when we were kids!), do you feel that you have done your best?
In that case, our kids must be happier than we were because they get everything they want.
Do you find your kids happy, grateful and satisfied?
Many times, the answer is ‘No’.
It is tough to satisfy them since they know they can get their way. But, so many kids make their parents dance to their tunes. And parents become desperate to please their kids. So, it becomes a routine, and both get what they want superficially.
Kids get their way. Parents get the satisfaction of being nice to their kids.
But the question is, for how long?
There will come a time when the kid will grow into a teen and transform into an adult. But unfortunately, the world may not be as kind or accommodating to them as their parents are.
There may be disappointments.
There will be failures.
There will be frustrations.
They will face betrayal.
There may be a need to compromise and give in.
Parenting is not providing. Parenting is preparing.
How do you prepare your kids for life? How do you enable them to think clearly? How do you help them deal with their emotions? What to do when they are not in the spotlight? How to handle failure? How to face rejection gracefully? How to feel grateful for what they have?
Here, the parents need help. Because it does not stop with providing or being available, it is also to develop the skillsets to help your kids to deal with their challenges. So many times, we do parenting on a trial and error basis. Or even worse, based on our moods. Or how we were raised.
Parenting in the digital age is a challenge. If you have a kid between 5 years to 12 years, you are witnessing the most critical phase of your kid’s development in all layers – physical, emotional, social, intellectual and behavioural. Each of these layers is interlinked and important for the holistic development of your kid.
Let me repeat.
Parenting is not pampering.
Parenting is not providing.
Parenting is not protecting.
Parenting is not pushing.
Parenting is not expecting or wishing beautiful things for your kids.
Parenting is not letting go.
Parenting is not friendship.
Parenting is preparing for life.
Parenting is a shared responsibility.
Parenting is a journey.
