Bringing up children
What is the right way of bringing up children? I am a doctor with an MD, but my years of rigorous studying are of no use when it comes to dealing with my upset son. As a mother, my child replaces my job as top priority, and yet I feel frustrated and angry that more often that not, I am uncertain about the proper way of handling my child! Most of us humans become parents. Why is it then that no one has thought of educating us in the techniques of parenting in a formal way? Don't you think if this kind of knowledge had been taught to us in school, the world would be better off? For, better parenting skills would translate to better children and therefore a nicer world.

You are doing a good job and therefore do chill.
We can't be taught the most essential tips of living anyway. We should be warned quite early on that raising children is quite different from a Johnson and Johnson ad.
Good effort. Keep it up..//
hi Juri,
Remember there are no rules which govern bringing up kids.I have 2 daughters (22yrs and 21yrs)who are poles apart...I have also often been (and still am)perplexed as to why they are unhappy at times.What words/actions will console one girl does not necessarily translate into the same formula for the other one. So I have decided that I am doing my best(don't we all try after all that's what we want for our kids),I spoke to the kids and told them I am mum for the 1st time..there may be occasions when I will deal with situations in the right way and others when I go wrong...and since it is a learning process for me..as I am doing it for the first time I hope they will have it in their heart to forgive me for mistakes that I make ....beyond this there is no other way....they too are growing up and cannot be in a perpetual state of happiness all the time so stop beating urself abt that allow them to take responsibility for the way they feel...they feel a certain way becoz they choose to, not becoz we tell them to.so cheer up missed u at the co
Hi everyone and thanks for putting in your comments. What I was thinking of very seriously, in absence of parents who can guide us in the proper manner, was to generate a consensus for a diploma course or something to be made compulsory for all parents!!
I know my parents, at least, did not bring me up perfectly and I 've seen a lot of people around and know for sure that their parents haven't brought them up perfectly!
