Develop Empathy towards your kids!

what it was like when you were a teenager, multiply that by 10 and cut your teen some slack. At this crucial time in their lives, they're looking for someone to understand what they're going through. We all need understanding, but your teenager needs it a lot more than you can possibly imagine and he/she needs it to come from you. When they come home, stop what you're doing (no matter how important you think it is) and give them your undivided attention. Look them in the eye, discipline yourself to stay focused on them and what they're saying not on what you're going to say, and guard your response to them. It's often been said that people need others just to listen. They generally don't need you to fix their problems for them (they'll figure that out for themselves), but rather they need someone who'll listen and empathize with them. This is what your teen needs from you. And if you don't give this to them, believe me, they'll find someone who will.

Its just time that is said to be the most precious thing one can possess and also loose! Every parent want to give their children the best. Then why not TIME.....THAT IS THE BEST!!!

DIS – CIP- LINE

The very word discipline swishes across as a tough ordinance passed, as the very meaning goes - It is the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience.
So many words used in making this understand or misunderstand! Obey, behavior, punishment, disobedience…does all this look too somber and undesirable…does it seem to take a lot to be Disciplined…

Let me through this write, try to define discipline in a different manner and hence create a new definition to it. Let us start by understanding the Disciple. To make it easy let us categorize him to be the CHILD, again as convenience and logic speaks, it is easy to discipline a child than the adult. Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. He needs guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. Now this will surely make us sit back and think as to if this is possible! I understand how difficult it is to work against the adrenalin gush when it actually demands a yell or a lam at that point. The shriek that is let out only will irate the child further. Once the hand looses control, it sends a feeling to the child – Huh! That’s it! Is this all….the thunder which could have startled and put things in place will make it a small screech consoling the child it cant get worse! Hold on to it, think before letting out all that anguish, it can be told better calm. Damage done at that point cannot be repaired. And for all goodness sake we know that we do not want that act to be repeated and hence caution them. When this caution is given with so much reaction it turns negative. The cold and the unpleasantness never allows the child to realize as, like you, he too has a store of adrenalin and not to forget their EGO is on much higher levels than ours. They are an epitome of Egoism but more of an archetype of compassion and love. They turn wax when your eyes desolate and show your angst. I leave you here to ponder to on the 2 situations – the first being – The Big Fight ; and situation 2 – The Understanding! And if you believe in the second go on….

These are the headers for The Understanding mode !
Not to react right on spot. – avoid talking, conversing, advising the minute the child commits something which you think is wrong!

Cool and let cool – When the child does something, for sure he knows that its not correct( I wont call it wrong, as it is a very heavy usage of the tiny act). Let him come back to his senses and to the frame where his mind is ready to accept anything at all.

Hugs and kisses do the wonder – a hug and an assurance that I am there for you and I understand as the start of the conversation makes it continue as a smooth one. Promises stand no good as they too know promises are made to be broken, at- least to see what happens if done so!

Don’t give up – This is way to self-discipline ourselves. The child throws tantrums only to scare us. He would cry, lie down, roll, behave grotesque, but stay strong with a cool attitude beaming and flowing all over your face. A - ‘doesn’t matter me’ cheek will gradually tell them that this trick of theirs doesn’t work any longer.

Dialogue – talk to them and tell them what is the correct behavior. These should be discussed with them daily and not only at the time of the act. Create a situation and make the same act into a story and narrate the learn as the conclusion. Get the child muse on the solution, reaction or the effect of the aftermath of the story. Let the child ascertain the sympathy and empathy from it. Take the instances happening around for the child to observe and talk what they felt about it.

Force does no good – Never force upon the child and never get him do it as this will lead to aversion. As Plato rightly said Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.”

Love, love and only love - “Your kids require you most of all to love them for who they are, not to spend your whole time trying to correct them.” So just tell them your expectation and more importantly live up to it, follow it and tell the child you do what you believe and you believe Him.

Spare the Rod – the old saying said – spare the rod and spoil the child….but let us not get on to the rod…because…
When a child hits a child, we call it aggression.
When a child hits an adult, we call it hostility.
When an adult hits an adult, we call it assault.
When an adult hits a child, we call it discipline.”
Be assertive and not arrogant, be kindly stern and not unsympathetic, speak and not shout.
Donot scare your child to be disciplined, for he will, only when seen because - Discipline is just doing the same thing the right way whether anyone’s watching or not.

Set it right – Let your child know what is the correct form of behavior. Let him acknowledge that he is liaison with what you think and want. Accept his thoughts also on it and let him love what he would want to do. Reprimanding when demanded is mostly affronted and is never wannabe.

Be positive – be confident about your child. Your child is your reflection. Talk positive statements alone. Why give them a negative statement which instills the thought that – ‘Oh! It might be possible.’ For instance – You shout out and say “Don’t shout” How logical are you in doing so!

The Idiot box – the comics, the stories, the films show the children and teach them what you would not even expect. Be selective on what your child should see. A research shows that excessive watching of the TV directly effects the character of the child. Especially they perceive what they see and the more when they eat. Not more that an hour of TV will relieve you from the fear of what you see and think should never happen to you or to your kith and kin.

Be what you want them to be and speak what you want them to say. Practice what you preach is being heard from long, why not use it a little. Following rules at home, on road, in office, everywhere just becomes a start for your child to be disciplined…oops…civilized!!! Remember you are the MIRROR.

Your child is not like the neighbour’s – No 2 children can be the same. Things which might work with others might not work with yours. All that is needed is a small change, a little shift.

Now let me derive to what I said I would end it with – From now let us define DISCIPLINE as -
Dedicated Involvement to Share Care and Principle to style a Loyal and Intense Enthusiastic individual.

Smile and remember - If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.”
