Would you adopt the same parenting style as your parents?

If you were given a choice, would you want a kid exactly like you? Do you think that is a good idea, would you adopt the parenting style of your parents. Would you want to mother a child who has the similar characteristics like you? Do you think your parents did a good job with you, are proud of yourself and them? Do you think you could be better and at the moment you are a wreck? Are you satisfied with all the help you have got from your family or would you want more?

Times have changed. I cannot bring my child the way I have been brought up since childhood. When I was growing up, there were no cell phones, no computers at home, no orkut and no facebook, no gmail and yahoo. But now even a child of 5 years knows how to operate a computer and a cell phone. Today’s child is more advanced, matured and technology oriented than what we were at our times.

Our parents imbibed culture and tradition, taught us good manners and etiquettes which were required at a time. We were not defensive, we accepted thinking our parents to be right. We accepted their decision considering parents are always right. But our child will question every fact and will do what he will feel like. As parents it is our duty to understand our child and we should not impose our whims and wishes on him.

He is independent to take his decision, we should only take care of his course of actions. Gone are the days when we used to get scolded and wept in a corner without complaining. Children these days are rebellious and very difficult to handle. We can neither tie them to our rules and regulations nor can grant them excess freedom. Parenting in coming days is going to be a tough task to do. It is all about understanding your children and showing them the right path in amidst of so much modernity and smart world.
