MVN TIMES JUNIOR Edition – I April – June 2022
Dear Parent We live in a period where everyone wants to be successful. Success does not have a definite definition as it varies from one person to another. To achieve success, one needs to be determined in life and have a plan to accomplish that goal. Let me tell you the road to success is not easy. Success is also not achieved in a day or a night. It is a long steady process that requires hard work, commitment and sacrifice. Success is directly proportional to the amount of hard work and the time you have invested in achieving that goal. Failure is the most important step in achieving your goals. Many of us fear it but sometimes failing is important as it helps in determining your path. Imagine what would have happened if Thomas Edison hesitated while he worked on discovering light? The world would have still been dark. Don’t fear failure, face it as it will help in achieving success. The three most important things required for a person to be successful are hard work, failure and a timetable. Most successful people are very good at managing their time and it is required that if you want to succeed in life, you also have to learn the skill of time management. Work on the process of achieving your goal and you will be successful in life. Seema Arora PRT English
From counsellor’s desk Dear parents, Last few decades have seen lots of new discoveries about child development and behavior. There has been an overwhelming volume of information available on parenting and every parent strives to be as good as possible in his/her parenting. Still, behavior problems in children are increasing. Following are some points you should never do to avoid behavior problems in your child: 1. Assume that what worked with you will work with your child as well. As Dr. Elkind states, “The same boiling water that hardens the egg softens the carrot.” In parenting, one size doesn’t fit all. There are some strategies which worked really well with your first child, but they may not work at all or even counter-productive with your younger one. So parent the child you have and not the one you think or wish you have. 2. Threaten to leave your kid behind: the threat of abandonment is deeply damaging to the child’s development. No matter what your kid has done and how angry or frustrated you are, never threaten that you will leave him/her away. For a child’s mind it means that you will not be there to protect or care for him/her. It may develop insecurity in their personality. The feeling of attachment is the most crucial thing for their development especially in early years. 3. A simple but extremely important rule of thumb for parents is “Don’t lie to them.” Sometimes it is hard to speak the truth and parent lie to save the child from harsh reality but it backfires in future. It is better to explain things in an age-appropriate way. Lying light-heartedly or as an excuse plants wrong seeds in the child’s mind. 4. Throwing a tantrum yourself when your kid is throwing one: when the kid is acting out avoid screaming, scolding or punishing him at that time. Rather than shutting down the child’s emotions, help your child see that you understand his frustration or anger and show him a better way to express it. 5. Ignore your own bad behavior: modeling the behavior you want in your child is the surest way to good behavior as children absorb all the good and bad things around them. They don’t do what you say but never fail to do what they observe you doing. Happy Parenting! Archana Bapat Counsellor, MVN
