Recently, I attended a zoom meeting, where all the parents have joined and they were concerned about the well being of children at the time of pandemic. What all problems children are facing, how they are deprived of physical activities, staying at home all the time etc.

Parenting is an ongoing process. You cannot be free from the stress of how your child will perform in exams to his health and other things which affects child’s upbringing. Every parent is responsible for how his child is being brought up. The role of parents is too crucial and vital in building character of a child. Every parent gives their 100% for their child.

After talking to all the parents I came to know that we all are sailing in same ship. The diffence is that some children have adjusted in online class system on the other hand some are still struggling. We parents talk to each other on regular basis, it not only gives us confidence, but also relive stress. Parenting involves a lot of things, as a parent we have to watch over, what our child is doing in free time, what type of friends they have, what kind of things they are watching on TV, their health, acedemic performance, hobbies, and so on.

Parents have to face child’s tantrums at times and how to deal with it in appropriate manner is all about parenting. Parenting role is the most challenging one because, children not learn from what you teach or preach them, they learn from parent’s actions and reactions to a certain situation. They learn from how their parents treat others, how their parents meet financial challenges and so on.

So, lets be a role model for our child, because he is 24 hours watching us.
