DPSN……… the Place to Be!

Dear Parents,

I was reading through the below article and thought of sharing it with you.With the birth of every child, a parent is born. It’s a metamorphosis that a parent goes through. It is a stepping

stone to the world of growing up,where not only does the child evolve, but we too, as parents grow too. It’s a journey of joy, a Journey of discovery, a journey of mixed emotions,a journey

of expectations.

We are today a breed of conscious parents—who want to do best for their child, provide the best and ensure the child grows to be the best! But when it comes to ‘best’, who judges it? Who sets the parameters for it? Are our expectations weighing down the child?

This blog makes you think!

Are our children always trying to please us?

The bonding and attachment between a child and parent continues throughout a child’s

life, but it changes through times in behavior and intensity. Because of the child-parent

relationship, a child is extremely sensitive to what pleases his parents. This relationship

is a key to a child’s positive behavior. A parent communicates desires or reinforcements

verbally and non-verbally, until a child knows what exactly his or her parent wants. Is

this fair on the child where to please the parental expectations, he does or does not do

something, rather than for his own interest?

Managing expectations

Expectations should be reasonable and not generate anxiety and a very little

satisfaction.

1) Where we go wrong is the fact that our expectations are mainly based upon

achievements rather than effort. Ensure your child enjoys what he does rather than just

focus on getting on top of the crowd.

2) Unrealistic expectations can be harmful. There should be a maintained balance

between desired results and achievable results so that the self-esteem of the child does

not take a hit.

3) Parental goal is not to have a control or dictate a child’s goal, but to guide the child in

setting goals. Parental expectations are a cornerstone of discipline in children. When

paired with loving supportive attitude, setting clear behavioral and academic

expectations for children, they can help them learn social skills and learn manners.

4) However for expectations to lead to positive behavior, parental rules shouldn’t gag the

child-it should always be developmentally appropriate. Thus parents need to be mature

themselves to understand the intangible needs of the children.

5) Do not push the child to a level where it cannot be taken in any more

6) Love your child, praise him or her amply.

7) Lets imbibe in them that they must do things with love and interest, then only will it

help in a better future, including academics.

Let us as parents free our minds of societal pressures, our egos and create a humane

human being.

the reading of The Diary of Young Girl

The Diary of a Young Girl by: Anne Frank

Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who lived and died during the Holocaust. The

Frank family hid from the Nazis for two long years in a Secret Annex at the back of a warehouse. During that time, Anne kept a diary in which she not only wrote about the

horrors of wars but problems of being a teenager. The book begins on Anne's thirteenth birthday, June 12, 1942. She receives as a present

from her parents a diary, among other presents. She thinks about it for several days and

decides to write letters as her diary entries, she addresses each letter to Kitty. Kitty is a

fabricated friend, someone in which Anne can expose her deepest feelings to.

This book is a journey of Anne and her life’s best and worst experiences. Some of her

writes were edited because of some personal reasons. This book was published after

Anne’s death by her parents because of Anne’s wish to publish it to the world after she

finished them.

The original book without editing was called version a . The one edited by Anne was

version b and the one published that means the one edited by her father with a mix of

version a and version b is called the version c.
