Being a parent is the most responsible job in this world. Every parent wants their child to be a good person, not to develop any bad habits, not to do any wrong things. Keeping this in mind, parents also impose restrictions on children, like don’t go here, don’t eat that, don’t watch TV, come back home early after playing outside, sit with a book and what not. All these things are said by parents for the benefit of children. But they do not know that children learn not from restrictions but from the behavior of their parents themselves.
Infosys co-founder Narayan Murthy also says something similar. Recently, he gave a big advice to parents saying that it is the responsibility of parents to create a disciplined environment for children’s studies. Parents cannot sit and watch movies while asking their children to study.

Often parents make their children sit to study but themselves get busy with TV, social media and phone. They ask their children to do and learn things which they themselves are not doing.
So today’Relationship‘ We will talk about parenting and learn how parents can motivate their children towards discipline and studies.
The foundation of the future is laid in childhood
Childhood is the only phase in life when we are carefree. We neither care about anything nor have any responsibilities. But this is also the time when the foundation of a good future for children is laid. We can also tell them at this age how to teach good values and discipline to children.
In such a situation, parents are very worried about their children’s studies, they restrict them and put pressure on them to study. As soon as they see the child, they start telling him ‘stop playing and sit down to study.’
But children are children after all, they like everything except studies. They always try to avoid studies by making some excuse or the other. Either they want to play with their friends or watch TV.

It is not right to evaluate a child’s ability only from the mark sheet
It is true that career selection can be easy for children who score high marks in exams. But it is not right to evaluate a child’s ability based only on this. Children who score average marks are also very successful in their professional life later on. Other children who are not able to do well in studies are good at something else, like art, music, dance, design, computer etc. Therefore, motivate the child to study with concentration, but do not put pressure on him to score high marks in the exam.
Children are already facing many kinds of pressure in school, like doing better than other children, doing homework, performing well in exams and presentations. In such a situation, excessive pressure from parents regarding exams, scolding and reprimanding can have a negative impact on them. This can weaken their self-confidence.

Do not compare your child with other children
Comparing children with other children can be very harmful for them. Comparing them with siblings, friends or neighbours can make them feel inferior and depressed. By making comparisons, parents are unknowingly causing great harm to their children. They should understand that the direction of their parenting cannot be decided based on the results of the neighbouring child.

If you want to discipline your child, then keep these things in mind-
- Explain the value of time to the child. You can do this by telling a story or showing a motivational video.
- Create a study environment for the child at home. Clean his study table along with the child. Decorate the part of the house where he studies nicely. This can increase his interest in studies.
- When he is studying, you should also sit with him and study so that he gets moral support.
- Take time to talk to your child. Talk to him about his school and friends. Fix a time to watch TV and watch TV during that time.
- If the child is asking for something from you, then instead of scolding him and making him quiet immediately, first listen to everything he says carefully and explain it to him.
- Appreciate your child for his good work. Motivate him to do better.
- After the child returns from school, find out from him what was taught in class today and whether he faced any difficulty in understanding it.
Parents should always remember that no matter how their children are, they need your loving guidance and support in every situation. So assure them that you are always with them.
