“Parenting is an art, not a science. Successful parents understand that their children aren’t perfect either. This frees them to love their children unreservedly.”

  • Unknown

Scientists believe that love is a biological construct rather than a cultural one. Humans have many preoccupations; one of the most important is desire to raise children.  Kids demand a significant amount of nurturing, and two parents are better than one. However, my wife usually argues one PROMUM is better than two average parents!

     The jury is still out on this debate. 

     Let me know what you think in the comment below.

  • WHERE IS MY OTHER KID?

     I got to my daughter’s school on time on that afternoon! Just to realize that my daughter was in her after music class. You can read about what musical instrument she plays https://niranojomomdservices.com/10000-hours-rule-can-all-humans-have-perfect-pitch/

     In the hallway, I noticed some kids waiting anxiously, so I asked them if they were waiting for the bus. They told me they were waiting for their parents!

   I told them we parents are human. Right

     They all busted into laughter! 

     One lovely girl commented, “ Where is your other child?” I told them about my son and I that needed to rush back and pick him up, and they should tell my daughter I would be back later, if they were still around!

    On my way through the door, turned back.  Who is looking for a personal assistant position?   They all busted into laughter again!

ALIVE OR NOT ALIVE 

     In my book ALIVE OR NOT ALIVE, I told the story of a parent scientist trying to help her kids improve decision-making before they disappear to college

    Sorry, I almost forgot the story…. It is fascinating story of a man who was sentenced to be hanged for offending the African Tribal Chief…

       “It takes a village to raise a child. Right?” 

 “ A good father is one of the most unsung, upraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.” 

– Billy Graham 

Like most parents, I am always in the joggling ball acts, career, family (for some of us, extended family!), going to school and most importantly, raising the future generation in the ever-changing world. 

    Like most parents, I have my struggles and it is always a work in progress in this parenting.  Trust me, I have worked alongside the best psychiatrists and psychotherapists at Hospitals in England. 

        They confided in me they have struggled with this thing called parenting. 

        That’s reassurance for most of us parent scientists!

   Next time, before choosing  family physician, therapist or coach, asked them of their home life?  Charity begins at home. Just kidding!

DEEP DIVE – CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME. 

Like anything in life, for example being a parent scientist, I am constantly  learning to lead myself and afterward my two amazing kids (they are now teens!)

Let’s look at what research says about parenting best practices.

Parenting is a complicated, challenging and highly individualized journey, however, some best practices that can help us navigate the ever-changing landscape successfully.  Let’s take a look!

  • Unconditional Love and Support 
  • Communication 
  • Consistency 
  • Lead by Example 
  • Quality Time 
  • Encourage independence 
  • Positive Independence 
  • Limit Screen time 
  • Foster a Love for Learning 
  • Respect Individuality 
  • Quality Nutrition and Sleep 
  • Teach responsibility 
  • Manage stress
  • Stay Informed 
  • Seek Professional Help 

Remember, every child is unique and what works for one may not work for `another. Flexibility and responsive to your child’s specific needs are paramount. Parenting is a journey, and it’s okay to make mistakes. What matters most is your commitment to providing a loving and supportive environment for your child’s development.

    It’s a win- win. Right!

“The key to great parenting is presence. The parent who is there is the one who is fulfilling their most essential obligations. If it comes at the expense of other things? So What! This is main thing. Your family is not an interrupting of your work. 

       They are your work. It’s that simple.”
