Positive Parenting


A workshop on "Positive Parenting" was conducted in the school by Mrs. Rajeshwari, Director and trainer 'Super Kids'. She made all the parents to realise the positive parenting is so important in kids life. We got very good response from the parents also. She insisted on the parents to be consistently positive in their behaviour. Listen to the children when they talk or express their feelings keeping eye contact with them. This will encourage the children to express fearlessly. Parents are the role models for the children. The children believe that their parents are perfect. Parents must keep up their words they say. We must praise the child when they do good things or show good behaviour. When we praise we must praise the child with the reason. While praising we must praise in front of others but we should criticise when they are alone and with the reason. We must criticise their bad behaviour not them. For eg., "This is bad manners" not "Bad boy or girl", since children are separate individuals having their own strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes. Parent should never compare them with other children. We must recognize the special or best part of the child and encourage it and then it will build their confidence. Shanthala N Nursery Staff.
