Your Role as a Parent
As your kid is getting more and more aware of the society and people around her, here is what you can do to help her grow and develop well.
- This is the age when her self esteem is very fragile and thus would look at you for frequent encouragement and positive feedbacks.
- If she is engaged in the process of criticising herself, you should help her to not stress much. You should rather ask her to concentrate on the end results she gets.
- It is very important that you patiently understand her emotions. Her moods and emotions shall be in an extremely volatile stage now and she certainly needs your help to deal with them.
- This is the age when she shall be eager to know and learn new things. Take opportunity of this and offer her different puzzles, thinking games and bring up questions that demand attention.
- Rather than plainly stating the right and the wrong, you can initiate discussions and strategically let her know the right and the wrong.
- Offer her the scope to grow mentally and physically. Give her the space to think independently. You are always there behind to see if she is doing anything wrong.
