Respect Your Child
Dear fellow parents,
Loving our children is not something we, as parents, need to be trained to do... That comes naturally to us, doesn't it?
What we must learn is -to respect children, no matter what age they are. Respecting children, we nurture healthy self-esteem in them.
And this is how you can make it possible with your child:
- Let them have their say.
- Practice compassion.
- Learn to forgive them when they hit a roadblock.
- Let them take some small decisions in their life -choosing their friends, clothes, Netflix or Prime, Bollywood or Hollywood stuff, etc.
- Humanize yourself as parents: tell them you are not a perfect machine that can randomly produce good results or decisions every time...
Remember: children are social assets... And we, as parents or social contractors, have the responsibility to ensure we send back healthy, and competent adults to society.

Great points Sanjay, children thrive when you give them the freedom to choose and make decisions, with boundaries of course. They learn self-confidence, self-discipline, and self-reliance when we as parents give them the opportunity to think in a safe setting and contribute to a group decision.

Yes It is correct
Whenever we go to the market to buy clothes for our children, we ask their choice. They are given full opportunity to keep their point in the house. This makes the child feel that he too has a separate identity in the house.
