PARENTING AFTER 2020

The following points are going make you rethink your actions on Parenting with your Child.  This is the perfect time to understand our priorities and act on them.  Feel free to connect with me on tejaskolekar.wordpress.com OR mail me at tejas.kolekar@yahoo.com OR YouTube@/SanskrutiEduCare

DUPLICATION IN COVID & LOCKDOW – How many children use mask, panic if don’t used and are habitual to it? Remember, children duplicate Parents.. Make a list, good or bad, what are the things that your child learnt from you during the lockdown. They are going to duplicate you, so don’t panic in front of them because these habits will be with them for the rest of their life, they may not take any risks. We often tell them that failure is the best teacher. Right? Take Control, take care but let them learn to take some calculated risks.

DON’T LET TIME PASS BY, ENGAGE CHILDREN IN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, LEARNING VALUES, NEW SKILLS – Children should be taken out, making them sit at home is going to make things worse. Engage them with more tasks rather than just letting the time pass by like new skills, activities, lessons on personal development, managing finance, and nurturing good values.

MENTAL HEALTH IS A PRIORITY NOW – Mental health should be the priority now, every parent should know what their child is going through and help them with it. We always ask for more space and time. During lockdown we had our space and so much of time, what did you do with it? Suicides rates have risen now, we can stop by talking to them.

EXPRESS YOURSELF, RELATION IS MORE IMPORTANT – This is the time to make up for all the differences, show each other the emotions you have, let them know the real you if you haven’t shown it yet. You definitely have children for much more time with you now. Relationship is more important.

BE THE NEXT LEVEL PARENT, UPGRADE WITH TIME –   You need to upgrade with time.  Today just being a parent providing the basic things isn’t enough.  One must upgrade themselves with skills like communication, technology, emotional intelligence, time management.

SCREEN TIME SHOULD BE MONITORED – Screen addiction is a new issue as schools/colleges/government is encouraging students to use cell phones/digital platforms to study has made things even worse. It is now about how much you can control, fix specific time or help them understand the importance of using it rightly. Avoid binge watch, because this adds to more stress and anxiety. Rather explain the importance of reading books and help them cultivate this habit with you.

ARE YOU A COUPLE OR SINGLE PARENT – Don’t run behind the perfect life, you may never feel like you achieved it because there are always some things bothering us. Better be happy in the moment and enjoy your family. We always keep waiting for the perfect day and keep planning for it and later we regret for the opportunities that we missed to enjoy.  There are many couples who have lost each other.  Single parenting is hard so thank each other if you are together today and work on parenting actively.

HAVE FIXED ROUTINE TO EASE THINGS – The above all things are important, but if you lack proper food, sleep, have good mood to live, plan, you will have certain chemicals in your brain that will not be stable and will constantly keep you away from the right thing you have to do. You may know what to do, but still can’t focus. The reason is you are not stable somewhere, find it out and let go those unwanted things out of your life in order to make your children more stable.
