"I want a new phone as my birthday present this year, Dad." Dhruv, a 13-year-old asks.  "I feel like it's too soon. Let's discuss this for the upcoming year!" While working from a laptop, his father responds.  "Everyone I know has a phone. I also want one."  "Having too much screen time is bad for you. We have discussed this."  "But mom and you are constantly using your laptops. Didi spends her whole day on the phone, for her classes, and then studies. Why am I the only one who always needs to follow the rules?"  Sounds familiar? Nowadays, is it challenging to raise children? Do you believe your grandparents had it easier?  No one ever receives training for the arduous job of parenting. The fact that parenting was not easy for the generations before us, although they did not face the same difficulties as we do, may give you some comfort.  Consequently, what particular difficulties do parents face today? What modifications have been made to parenting over time?  1. Families Are Evolving. It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child, and that is because parents have never been in charge of raising their children alone. Our ancestors have long advocated for community parenting.  Over time, the nuclear family, which consists of parents and their kids, evolved to be the standard in many cultures. Indian children are increasingly growing up in nuclear families, particularly in urban areas.  Therefore, a huge extended family no longer makes up the usual household. Communal support for parents raising their children has declined. Furthermore, there are many different types of families nowadays; it is typical for kids to grow up in homes with a single mother, a single father, or parents of the same sex.  Read this article here@https://circleofhope.co.in/Blog/Modern-Day-Parenting-Challenges---Miscellaneous-Part-1

Let us look at the gentle parenting tips for parents and learn how to let kids struggle appropriately. Circle Of Hope has brought this series of two blogs, where we discuss the boon that struggling is, and how we should grab the opportunities where struggling is age-appropriate and possible for our tiny lovable.5. How Can Self-Control Be Taught Otherwise? One of the most gentle parenting tips is to take some deep breaths with your children  if they grow frustrated while struggling. (It is ideal to practice deep breathing with calm youngsters so that the technique becomes second nature under stressful situations.) "You appear frustrated," for example, can be used to express empathy. "This will be difficult, but you will be able to handle it." If required, assist the kid in developing calming methods. Remind the youngster of the skills that help them deal with irritation the next time they become frustrated. Some kids are afraid of failing, and they may internalize their difficulties. Discuss how failure is a necessary part of learning and success with your children. Discuss your own failures openly, and share stories of those who have succeeded after failing. These discussions teach kids that failure is not unique to them and should not harm their self-esteem or self-image.

Modern Parenting Challenges: How To Learn To Let Your Child Struggle - Part 2

"Mom, I need your help!" My immediate reaction used to go into action and save the day, whether it is "Mom, I can not do this" or "Mom, this is not working." But, before we wear our superhero capes and save the world for our children, we must first ask ourselves what we are trying to achieve.  "Is it better to save children from having to struggle in the long run, or is it better to keep them from having to struggle in the first place?" is one of the modern day parenting challenges.  Nobody enjoys having to fight. The struggle is unpleasant and inconvenient, yet growth is impossible without it. We impede children from realizing their full potential when we "rescue" them from hardship.  Children can only learn to push above their comfort zones, acquire persistence and problem-solving skills, and, as a result, build their potential to achieve goals and contribute to the world via difficulty.  Let us look at the major benefits children can get if we, as parents, learn how to let them struggle appropriately. Circle Of Hope has brought this series of two blogs, where we discuss the boon that struggling is, and how modern day parenting should grab the opportunities where struggling is age-appropriate and possible for our tiny lovable.

The team of psychologists at Circle Of Hope would love to demonstrate how easy, exciting, and gratifying it can be to establish a lifetime reading habit in your child. Continue reading the series of articles where we provide an age-by-age guide to make kids love reading.  Preschool to Toddler  Your youngster will be ready for new reading experiences as he or she grows older. However, keep in mind that every child learns at their own pace. Some kids take their sweet time learning, while others jump right in and start reading. Some children can read a book in five minutes while others take longer. Never put your child in a position where he or she is comparing themselves to others. Share your child's enthusiasm for each new skill he or she learns.Libraries  Visit the library and bookstores with your youngster regularly. Please introduce him or her to the libraries for children. Even if he will not sit through the whole show, take him to story hours. Allow him to explore the stacks of books and enjoy himself.Create A Place For Books  Make a particular spot for your child's books and library books, such as a bottom bookshelf or a basket on the floor where he or she can easily access them. Books and magazines should be clearly displayed in your home to ensure that they become a part of your daily routine.

Before the age of four, half of your child's brain develops. Children who are read to before they start school are more likely to incorporate reading habits. These exercises are meant to excite your baby's intellect and help him or her prepare to learn to read.  The team of psychologists at Circle Of Hope would love to demonstrate how easy, exciting, and gratifying it can be to establish a lifetime reading habit in your child. Continue reading the series ofarticles where we provide an age-by-age guide to make kids love reading.  Books for children are a must-have. You may believe that you are saved from reading until your baby is at least vertical, but this is not the case. Even babies benefit from hearing stories (and they can not criticize your book choices). So benefit from it. To do so, follow these steps:   Read Aloud  Every day, read out loud. Whatever book you want. A cookbook, a fiction, or a parenting handbook are all good books to read to a newborn. It does not matter what you read. It is the tone of your voice, the rhythm of the text, and the words themselves that matter. The amount of words that infants hear has been demonstrated in studies to have a direct impact on language development, literacy, and reading habit.  Read this article here @https://circleofhope.co.in/Blog/Raising-A-Reader-How-To-Raise-A-Child-That-Loves-To-Read-Part-2-(New-Born-Special)

I felt awful as a parent because I could see their shoulders down and heads bowed as they listened to her rant. Standing there and being yelled at was not easy for them. However, I was proud of them for admitting and accepting responsibility for their misdeeds.  Our natural instinct as parents is to keep our children safe from harm. We want to rush in and solve their issues right now. This is not really helping our children. It is one of the most crucial parenting challenges these days. Read with Circle Of Hope to know what we can do to help them to Stop Shifting Blame and Take Responsibility for Their Behavior.   1. Allow Them To Clean It Up Themselves.  One of the most important life lessons we can teach our children while they are still young, in my opinion, is the concept of cause and consequence. Children must learn – for their own good! – that taking responsibility for their actions is critical.
