Parenting In Today's Fast Changing World.
Parenting is not a easy job. To give birth to a child is very easy but to be a parent is difficult. Any animal can give birth, Its ordinary but to be a parent is not ordinary. Its a rare phenomenon. Not many are capable of being a parent. The very first criterion of being a parent is to give freedom to your children. Every child is unique, every child carriers great potential but parents burden them, impose there ideas on them. That is not a job of parent, Job of parent is to give nourishment, support to the child so that the child can grow. To protect the child just as a tree grower protects. Tree grow on its own, blue print of the tree is already in the seed, its potential is already there, it just needs nourishment to grow towards its potential and after a certain stage its needs to be left alone to its nature. To the earth.
Children grow out of there childhood but parents remains stuck in there parenthood. This is a problem about which not many pshycologists talk about, its neither discussed in the society, in the public institutions. Child is blamed, for being impulsive, for being angry, his biology is blamed, its the chemicals in the body due to puberty they say. Real problem is the imposition, Its the overprotectiveness. Its the fear of the very environment in which the tree has to live, Its impossible to protect from which is for our own benefit. Parents have forgotten to live with the child, love the child in fear of future of the child. Overprotection creates a problem but underprotection also creates a problem. That is why parenting is difficult. Its the balance that is needed to be maintained.
In todays fast changing world, this becomes more difficult. Everything changes in 5 years, look back 5 years is the word same? Everything has changed, every five years we have new normals. Its already difficult to adjust, to calibrate onself then parents keep on imposing old ideas, old ways. Its bound to be a failure for the child. Then child only wants to run away. This is not a good situation, creating enemy out of your children, its the worst nightmare for every parent.
Let your children be strong, The day a child is born, a mother is also born, a father is also born, with the birth of childhood, there is birth of parenthood. But a parent always has to be right, If parents goes wrong then the child will be gone wrong. Let your children be strong, growth of the child is also growth of the parents. There was no mother before a child was born, it was only a woman, now something has happened, motherhood has bloomed, fatherhood has bloomed. If parents are not growing than this will stop the growth of child as well. Its important for parents to keep on growing and learning new things. Teach them to your children.
This is the only way through a relationship is kept alive, growth is the sign of life. Dead only rots. Its important for parents to embrace the new and not to impose.
This will help to form a strong bond and create joy. This can be acheived, Its not impossible. To acheive this a path has to be taken, This path is from desires to desirelesness. To a state of mind which is not full of desires, full of ideas that are to be imposed on the child. I have given some techniques to acheive this state in my upcoming book. The pre-order link for it is shared below, It will be available on Amazon. I hope it will help the readers.
