Goodparents


How to be good parents ?

Most parents want to be good parents। The first thing your child needs from you is to trust your inner knowing rather than any book you read. my mother had read in Dr। Spock that babies should not be picked up when they cry, that it is good for their lungs to cry, and that she would spoil me if she picked me up. But her insides were telling her the opposite - that babies cry when they need food, changing, or love. It is so sad that she followed Dr. Spock instead of her own inner knowing. Now research has proven that babies who are not picked up when they cry become more dependent and insecure than babies who are kept with their mothers. In other countries, babies sleep with their parents until they no longer want to, feeling safe all night. In our country, most babies are alone at night, some crying themselves to sleep. This is not only sad, it is not healthy for the baby. The second thing Your child needs your loving presence - not your busy preoccupied presence.
For your children to feel important to you, they need to feel you fully present with them - reading to them daily, playing with them, holding and comforting them, and listening to them. The third thing Your children need for you to create a healthy environment for them .
by feeding them healthy food, restricting screen time - TV, computer, video games - and making sure they play outdoors and get enough exercise.
The fourth thing They need for you to be a good role model of self-care.Children need to see their parents taking full responsibility for their own feelings instead of being victims and blaming others. With this role modeling, they will also learn to take full responsibility for their own feelings .
The fifth thing Children also need you to be a role model for care of the environment. By role modeling caring for our planet, we can raise children who are much more conscious of taking care of our environment. The sixth thing Your children need to see you being connected with a spiritual Source of love, peace and wisdom .inorder to naturally connect with their own higher power. By developing your spiritual connection, they can learn to have their own.
