Parent Child Bonding

Children are the same- yesterday, today and tomorrow. A point to ponder I would say.

We as kids remember being CARE-FREE. Without any worry or fear. Our environment was secure and we were in our comfort zones. We knew all the kids in the neighborhood and our parents knew each other. We didn’t know what violence meant and or kidnapping was. We climbed trees and played gully cricket with boys on the street. We didn’t know stress. All we knew was to have pure fun.

Some kids today are CARE-LESS – don’t care about the consequence of their actions. There is a lot of insecurity, peer pressures, expectations, fear…

If all the criminals, prisoners’ and trouble makers were filled with only love and compassion for others would we able to create another “heaven on earth?” Well sounds too farfetched?

I was being too hard on myself as a mother always correcting myself, always looking for ways to be “the perfect mother”. Very ambitious, very very ambitious indeed. No offense meant to the “perfect parents”. I am not. I am only human. read more »

The Parenting Challenge

We are accountable to ourselves on our life and the way we want to shape it. To some extent we can still get away if things do go wrong in our lives. We have just us to answer. The big question arises when we are given others lives to shape and mould. It’s called responsibility. We can make or break some one’s life, probably more precious than ours. The life of our children.

Welcome to parenthood – probably one of the greatest challenges of life.
