- Have we failed in bringing up our ‘modern’ kids?  Have we ever wondered; Why is it that the youngsters of the so called modern world behave the way they are behaving now a days? Have we given them too much freedom to express? Have we failed to discipline and give them the right values? *Is it right to treat children as friends?* Think of it this way, they have lots of friends. But they have only one set of parents. If they don’t do ‘parenting’, who will? Today the *‘self-esteem’* of even a new born or an infant is being talked about; but what about the self-esteem of the parents? Are they supposed to just fan the egos of their children, while the children don’t care two hoots about theirs? Often parents stop by telling, ''Where will you find obedient children in these times?”  Why? If we need to teach children about self-respect, self-esteem and self-confidence, we also need to tell them that howsoever big and rich and famous they may be, their parents shall always be their ...

-   'One complete academic year has elapsed in this manner, with almost no or little curricular learning in the current class. But this is only one kind of loss of learning.

- Did you know?  Bill Gates did not give his children cell phones until they were 14 years old.  And even Apple's Steve Jobs was conscious of his children's phone usage. A large number of CEOs and prominent figures of Silicon Valley companies significantly reduce the time their children spend in contact with technology. How addicted are your children to cell phone? How much time do they spend in front of a screen? Would you let your children do the same? Or are you following strategies to make them use cell phone only for necessary use. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends to limit technology according to the age of the children, since there is a great fear that the use of the devices will become compulsive and uncontrolled. There are people who compare social media to drugs, by quoting that social media makes children addicted to their phones, which becomes a habit from which it is difficult to come out. What is social media? Social media is any digital tool that all...

- Parenting is no easy task and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. It takes patience, time, and a lot of trial and error to figure out what will work for your family. But as any parent will tell you, it can be worth the effort. Sometimes parents think they need to correct every little thing their children do or they’ll never learn right from wrong. But as adults we know that this isn’t the case. If we make an error at work, we don’t get corrected by our boss every time we do it – we just try not to repeat it.  Parents have a very important role in their child's wellbeing and character. Parents are the first teachers of children. How parents deal with children everyday is very crucial. Here are some ways that patience in parenting can help your family. The Best Ways to Keep Your Patience as a Parent. Why do we need to cultivate patience? What is the best way to cultivate patience as a parent? Follow the 5 quick rules below: 1.
