Be proud of your children

Most parents are way too possessive about their kids. Knowingly unknowingly, we tend to compare our kids with other kids. Rather than looking at the strengths, we mostly look at their weakness and compare their achievements, habits and routine with some other kid on the block.

Many a times, we say in public that it is upon our children to decide what they want to do but in private we have objection to what they want to pursue if it doesn’t suit our preferences, profile, social standing and thinking.

We all love our children but somewhere we apply a lot of restrictions, impose our own bias and want them to see the world as we see it.

In the quest of making them independent, we like them to be dependent on us in making their life decisions. Bitter but true.

There are no fixed rule to mentor our kids. But may be it would be better to give them am opportunity to find themselves. May be we should guide them, not force them ( I hardly meet anyone who accepts this).

Teach them culture, teach them values, teach them humility, teach them love and they will become better than what we want them to. Show them the way but let them choose the path.

May be I don’t know what’s the right way to guide them but I definitely believe that our children can do better if we give them the freedom to do their own thinking and make their own opinions. May be we need to support them from outside but let them
struggle to find what’s inside.

Lastly, be proud of them. Don’t ask them to make you proud.
