Positive Parenting Tips
2. Don't tell your child how to do things. Tell her what to do. You'd be surprised at how she/he finds her/his own ingenious methods of doing them.
3. Do not shield your child from every upsetting situation. It will make him unfit to handle the reality of life.
4. When you discipline your child, make it clear that it is the behaviour that you are condemning, and not him.
5. Never make fear to make your child do something. It could lead to phobias and emotional imbalance later in life. Love, not fear, is the key to a child's healthy development.
6. Respect you child,irrespective of his age or size. He too has a self-esteem; he too has feelings like you.
7. Respect the view point of our child His saying 'No' to you doesn't mean he is undermining your authority but has a view different from yours.
8. If you want your child to accept his mistakes, first you apologise. Be humble when you wish to the servants of the house if you wish your child to be a good human being. Lead by example. Remember, you are child's role model.
9. Never talk about your child's teacher with disrespect. The moment the child sees his parents make fun of the calibre or the authority of his teachers, his listening towards his teachers stops. And so does his learning.
10. It is important to develop in your child the ability to take right decisions. But it is more important to develop in him the courage to face life when the decisions go wrong.
11. A little patience can make all the difference between wanting to be good parents and actually being one. Whenever you are about to lose patience with your child, just pause and remember our own childhood!
12. A time will come when your child will spend more time with T.V., friends and cloths than with you!
Accept and respect these changing needs of your child. It certainly doesn't mean that love has vanished.

Kahlil Gibran 'on Children'
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters
of Life's longing for itself.
Thy come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you
yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not
your thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you,
For life goes not backward
not tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth;
The archer sees the mark
upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might that
His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is table
1923, Kahlil Gibren, The Prophet.
