Day 26 - 365 Days Of Gentle Parenting - We Often Underestimate Our Kids

I had another eureka moment today. I realised that all the fretting over our kids is actually needless. As moms we just need to relax and be there for the kid. Sometimes only in spirit. Else, they will never become independent.  Listen to my story of how I came to this conclusion because of an experience.  And now I feel its time for me to move to the next target towards gentle parenting. And that is to do away with threatening techniques. No these threatens are not intimidating, but something as 'sleep, as the boogieman will come and take you'. The kids grow up soon to realise that its just a threat, but it has a long lasting effect on their mindset. I will talk more on that in the coming episodes.

However hard I try, I continue to have had melt-downs with my kids. I know shouting on kids has an adverse effect on their psyche and I too get affected badly. Whenever I am off to do something professionally, it kills me to know that I have not been kind enough to my kids and that robs me of all high spirits. The only way is to break the pattern. Beginning 12 Feb'21, I am embarking on a 365 days journey of my transformation as a mother. I want to be accountable and so I am going to put up daily updates in this space of how I am doing with my goal - 365 Days Of Gentle Parenting !
