TREATING CHILDREN WITH RESPECT
Respect is an action which any human being demands. But, it is earned not demanded. Many people seek respect but, it is earned with a lot or in less time as well. It’s a myth that it takes years to earn but, a moment to be lost.
Respect can referred with the “honor” as well. Respect is the glue that strengthens or grip the bound together. We should be well-aware of that scenario as well, when others are not respectful to us.
Respect is also another name of accepting others the way they’re. In many surveys, it has been seen that children who are respected by their parents and teachers tend to be more successful in their lives.
How does respect look?
Some gestures can be to calm when disagreeing, not yelling, admitting mistakes, be open with each other, not to control other persons choices etc. Parents should respect their children because it’s the right of every being to have self-respect. Sometimes, it can be said “ego” as well.
“Actions Speaks Louder than Words.”
Some of the following actions indicate the respect of parents to their children. Giving them a chance to improve their mistakes, understanding the children narrative, respect their privacy if they want, have a friendship bond with the children.
Here’s another side of the story, don’t just respect children or just lift them. Put your self-esteem in mind as well. You should be receiving the respect in back as well. Children should feel these to have a respectful image in his/her subconscious accepted, secure, included and important.
Not just respecting each other ends the story here, here is another aspect as well that is if parents are respecting just their children and aren’t surrounding ones. It would have a negative impact. Parents should respect others to put a positive impact on children for a good upbringing.
Parents should always listen to the children. Even, if they’re having normal fun talk. The most not to do is never criticize or shout at him/her in front of his/her friends, cousins, or anyone. You can criticize him/her later in private. This is one of the most disrespectful for any child. “Decide and act” policy of parents for their children also leads to disrespect of any child. In parents sight, a person is a child till their death but, there are dozens of changes.
Lack of communication also a hazard for both. Decide and act policy in children lives for like in career, marriage or any other important stage of life is an issue for the children. Sometimes, parents are in a state to be alpha and omega. This culture is mainly common in the east. This causes a pressure situation for a child.
Many times, it has been seen that a post is shared on social media of a girl. After that a conflict comes from their parents, because they aren’t known to this media. Because, in many cases, they’re aged. They should be well-aware and taught to avoid any disrespect for the children and parents as well. Children-parent interaction should be more to overcome these sorts of issues.
Children place in the world is based on trust and the respect given to him/her by his/her parents. Parents, abuse, judge, punish and shame them etc which is another level of disrespect. Parents should understand that children seek role models in their parents. They follow their actions not their golden words. I have a bright hope that this culture of respecting children will get more swing soon.
Conclusion:
Parents disrespecting their children in any means i.e, restriction in decisions, abuse, blame, screaming etc should terminate.
