Mental Health

The mental strength of the child also matters a lot. Parents should help them in increasing their self confidence and emotional strength and balance. The major tthing which affects a child's mental health is the problems within the family.They suffer from irrational fears because of the breakup of the family. It is natural that children misbehave sometimes. There are many reasons for child's misbehaviour, and many ways for parents to help them improve. The common problems among children include using bad language, destroying property, lying and behaving aggressively and violently. The most important thing a parent should do in such a situation is to be patient, avoid losing temper and remember that love is more persuasive than punishment. Make sure that your child knows that he/she is loved. If you want your child to be perfect first you have to be perfect.

Child Health

Health of a child is a major issue that concerns a majority of parents. One of the foremost duties of parents is to encourage a child to lead a healthy life. There are more chances for children and teens who are overweight and in poor physical shape to suffer from a host of health related problems. So it is very important that the parents should take part in sports and physical activities with their children.

Becoming a Parent

It is a great dream of every person to become a parent. But becoming a parent means something more.It means commitment, responsibility and fundamental changes in your life. Children need love and attention and the parent needs lots of patience. No adjustments can be done. Before becoming a parent we might had lot of freetime which we spent with our friends. After becoming a parent we are forced to cut short the hours those we spend for ourselves. If you are working or studying the challenges are more. If we get a child when we are not economically stable, it can also be difficult. There will be a necessity to go for work leaving the child at home or in a day care. But if we plan things we can lighten the load and make parenting a pleasurable duty.
