Secret#54

Help your children face unfair treatment that life will unfortunately, but invariably, give them.

Secret#53

Your children have a greater mental capacity than you give then credit for, so don’t worry unnecessarily on their behalf. Indeed, their syllabus is nothing compared to the tools they have at their command. So, do not give them the vibes that their school work and extra-curricular activities are too much for them!

Secret#52

Think about how you can be flexible enough with your children during conversations, so that they understand

the message you want to convey. The response you receive from your children will clearly tell you whether you are communicating in the right way!

Secret#51

‘Never say never’, ‘Never say die’. Let these be the attitudes you inculcate in your children. Nothing is impossible for the willing and the brave. Teach your children this mantra -‘ If I can’t, then I must’. Practise it yourself too!

Secret#50

Instead of making competition days into stressful days, why don’t you treat your children normally? Allow them to participate for the experience, not just for the prize. The prizes make sense only if they aim and strategize to win. They have to do this for themselves, or those prizes are not for them but for you!

Secret#49

Each one of your children is unique. So, instead of loving

equally, learn how to LOVE UNIQUELY. Understand

what is special about each of your children and love them

for their special selves. Do you make sibling rivalry any

bigger than it is?

Secret#48

Discuss patiently with your children, the purposes and

motivations of studying. Share with them the larger

picture, and you’ll find them more receptive than you

imagined.

Secret#47

Do not judge too soon. Analyse the motivation behind

your children’s actions, and in them you will surely find

the answer to their behavioural challenges.

Secret#46

Let your children make their own choices, then allow

them to face the consequences. As long as the situation is

well under control, do not intervene to bail them out. Let

them learn their lessons on their own.

Secret#45

Isn’t it true that only when you start loving and enjoying

what you do, will you become good at it? Make study

time fun and exciting for your children, so that they enjoy

their studies as much as they enjoy playing.

Secret#44

Instead of feeling anxious, get excited about confusion.

When confused, it means that your children are learning

something new.

Secret#43

There are no inattentive students, only fallacious

teaching methods, which can’t hold the children’s

attention. Now think for yourself, and I am sure you can

come up with appropriate pedagogic tools for them, and

make them happy learners. Study time will also become

fun time now!

Secret#42

Are you worried why your children seem to hate the

regime of school so much, although they have a bright

creative spark? Find out if your children are right-brain

dominant.

Secret#41

The Left Brain children perform well in their studies but

they are ‘Shy’. To be successful, children must be ‘Whole

Brain Learners’.

Secret#40

Parents never transmit your sense of inadequacies or

pains of your failures, to your children. Rather, help

them live in a world of thoughts, colours, music,

learning, and so on.

Secret#39

The paths of life are longer than we might think they are

during moments of depression. So never think that the

past and what is behind you, will be exactly mirrored in

the future. It is always possible to turn over a new leaf,

and live life anew, discover greener pastures and deeper

sunsets, even if there were no promises of these in your

past. Pass on this profound faith to your children.

Secret#38

You don’t have to say yes to everything your children ask

of you, but before saying no, understand why they are

asking for something. Allow them to take some risks;

They may outperform your expectations. They will

understand that you trust them and not to let you down.

Learn your children’s language and respect their way of

thinking. That will go a long way in helping you build up

a great rapport with your children, and wait and see,

how easily the solutions will come!

Secret#37

If you want your children to sleep right, and be more

active, ensure they have exciting goals to look forward to

in life..

Secret#36

Never wait for the world around to change for you. It

simply means continuing in a situation in which both you

and your children have no control, and wear a girdle of

victim-hood. Come forward and take responsibility for

what happens. Change yourself for the better. Take

stock, and then take control of your life. Your children

will follow.

Secret#35

As parents you should make a special effort to create a

identity for yourselves by casting off your limiting beliefs.

This way you can become a powerful role model for your

children, who will emulate what you do.
