Creating a Childhood with Love

Every child deserves a great childhood. The 21st century has its complications in giving them what they truly need - emotional security, safe nurturing and untainted nutrition. Our responsibility lies in laying the foundation in a manner in which children can sail into adulthood with minimum negativity.

The initial investment

In children is in leadership and parenting together; on the same page. Children should never be torn apart with choices. Deciding on essentials is the part of the adult as is right from wrong; as is acceptable vs. unacceptable. Give children the lead they need by laying out the conditions which can help them throughout life. I see a marked shift in attitudinal changes, discipline and weak parenting. It’s sad, really, when at the end of the day the child will receive the fruits of this maladjusted upbringing when he steps into society. As I say to my adult students and parents society is a tough place to counter. Principles and Ethics should be in place in the first 8 years of every young child. 

The Popular Parent Syndrome

We would all like to be popular with our children but reality is that we cannot. Some decisions must be made with determination. At early childhood this is very difficult because parents are actually commanded instead of requested by their children.
