The major role of parents is giving children the freedom to choose a career path rather than pushing them into the field of their choice. the parents role is like a gardener that nurtures a plant to grow. Expecting much more from children brings frustration,depression and negative relationship.
Rather than pressuring and projecting their ambition onto the children, the result will be undesirable because children of today are intelligent. What they need is role models. Parents should try to become their role model and help them live life as they want to be.
Today above all the need of the hour is not just academic excellence but most importantly inward contemplation, inner enfoldment and internal enrichment. Jaya Row had stated this at AMA.
The prime role is not the material prosperity but inculcate positive thinking because the child is constantly surrounded by negative environment. Internal enfoldment in the true sense is to understand who you are, what is the nature of the world and how to establish a right relationship with the world.
Parents are one of the key contributors for directing the future of childrens. So, they are expected to tell goods and bad sides of life and give advise to help childrens dream their future.
Parents must be excellent role models in moral conduct and hardwork.
They must be motivators and correctors of the behavior of their children.
They must create conducive atmosphere for the general development of their children.
They must assist their children psychologically, physically, spiritually and emotionally.
They must stand up for the successes of their children.
Children must be courageous to confide in their parents. Parents should demonstrate in words and deeds that their children are their best friends and companions.
I think parents are our first god after birth they will act a main role in our growth.Naturally we adopted there behaviour and way of living.so the child is always treat as per there age.achrya chankya also said that from 5 to 10 year love your child then 10 to 20 treat him with discipline and after then make friends with them.
the role of parents is very important, children need affection, example and life lessons to help them develop as a healthy adult, now with different types of family, the main thing is to teach them empathy to be good human beings, useful to the society
As I see it, parents should be more mentors and organizers of learning experiences and situations such that their children come to understand, reinvent and reconstruct what they learn rather than simple transmitters of ready made and established truths. Parents should be authoritative figures, not authoritarian or permissive figures. Authoritative parents are demanding in cognitive terms but warm in terms of affectivity. Authoritarian parents are demanding in cognitive terms, but cold in terms of affectivity. And permissive parents are guided by the slogan laissez faire, laissez passer, laissez aller (let it go). See, for this respect, D. Baumrind's work on styles of parenting. As a developmental psychologist, I used to say that children need affection, a rich physical and social milieu in which they grow up and opportunities to act upon objects and interact with their peers. When this is the case it is likely that children come to want the pursue the true, the good, and the beautiful and be citizens of the world.
Generally for parents child male or female becomes an asset as they observe & plan for their children a good outlook ,healthy development with the moral code of conduct & in the line of their taste parent see that the children move towards their favorable career path .
Passive involvement is no more helpful than invasive parenting. Note where possible your child's talents and preferences and aid their journey to success, comparative or not
Parents play a vital role in building their child’s destiny in different ways, whatever the age of the child is. The following are some of the responsibilities of parent towards building the destiny of their children:
· Spend time with your child
· Provide a supportive environment in the house
· Connect with your child’s school teachers
· Encourage your child
· Discuss their problems with them
· Keep an eye on your child’s activity
· Advise your child about how to develop study habits
· Maintain a balance between love and strictness
· Monitor how your child learns
· Ensure that your child is not over-scheduled
· Set aside time to read together
Teaching children with diligence requires investment of time. As parents we want the best for our child, and the best we can give them is the right kind of education.
Our attitude towards education can inspire them and show them how to take charge of their own educational journey. Through proper guidance, parents can help their child organize their time to learn new things in and out of school.
Give your child the best learning experience and help them succeed with good academic performance. Educate your children and give them a bright future.
i agree with @Aristidis Matsoukis concerning to the questions, should be supportive, and make balance between attachments and strictness. but as a father i think i am not balancing love and strictness.
@Dr. Harry. Indeed, the points suggested by dear colleagues are very feasible. However, there are some cases where you have to customize some of these points for a particular child. At other times, you have to turn the wheel and 'invent' as it were, a workable formula for a specific child (my small boy is highly different from the others). The truth is that the parenting skills are developed more when you are in the real situation. Being patient and understanding can offer a lot of insight into the strategy that would work best for your child. You have these beautiful qualities and I am optimistic that you will be a wonderful parent! Best regards
Parents role is holistic. They leave their imprints in the overall development of the child. Norms, ethics,culture, tradition, value system, human values, approach towards life and towards others in the society, their duties towards others and towards the society and the nation at large is mostly inculcated by the parents and what not. May be not the way in which intellectuals see these.
The first agent of socialization is the family, which means whatever a child learns at home, especiallyduring the early stages, form a large part of that child's idealogy about life.
Parents are to protect their children and teach then on handling pressure. It's okay to have pressure, but learning how to handle it, is a soft skilll every parent should their child.
