Parenting has unfortunately no courses, no degrees, and no diplomas where we can learn the art of being a parent. It’s one occupation where we have practical training only from the time we become parents.
Parenting should be postponed till the time the adulthood in us is mature enough to understand the responsibility and sets his or her priorities right. It’s also important that both parents need to be in sync with one another on this subject. It’s also one of the most fulfilling of all responsibilities.
A major fallout of the one-child syndrome is lack of discipline in most places. A mother who does not help in correcting the child when it is making blatant mistake is doing a grave injustice. A crucial stage in the children’s life is their exams. Because of lots of hype associated with these exams, it is imperative that the child is stress-free at that period. So it’s a wake up call for parents to come out of slumber.
