In almost all stages of development ,the behaviors of young children turn out to be erratic,mischievous and funny.At times these innocent doings are problematic to parents and the rest of the household. It is absolutely essential that the parents restrict habits and pretensions developed at the early stages of growth. Punishments though not much severe are to be meted out for wrong doings as corrective measures. Many children tend to show up excessive worship to supermen and heroes.The limitless devotion to such fictitious characters should be minimized in order to help them form creative abilities of their own. All doubts..misgivings...are to be cleared up without fail.Close and binding relationships between family members are to be enhanced and promoted fully.It is in mutual love and regard that all human relationships are bound and maintained.Let children engage in mirthful laughter and play...but let it not be overdone to an extent of self spoil and ruin.

hi Sukumar, this is a great topic for parents for sure. i have a 20 months old baby and he is just starting to understand the world and actually enjoy and DEMAND things. I understand it is a crucial time of his development and i ensure my availability to ensure right guidance for him. It is not that i meet all of his demands however my presence and my response to his tantrums are well read by my toddler and then he understands that it is not so easy afterall.
At this point, i would like to know how people manage to leave their toddlers at this crucial time to preschools, no matter how recognized they are.
what you induce right now pays later. i firmly believe that what i want my child to be has to be given by me only and no one else. parents dont have time these days and they would prefer to leave their kids to someone else or with activities which catch their attention easily.

While putting a child in playschool does help, it is the parents who have to put in the efforts needed for child's development. And accountable too.

A good rule in most things is moderation. Even the most mischievous behaviors can dispelled if acted out in moderation. Life is too short not to enjoy it but with respect and consideration for others.

I wish you have molded right your children to the right path.Most children of today do not know how to say the thank you,good morning,good evening attitudes already.They use the telephones and just say,where is June?or Can I talk to June. No more please can talk to June,then the other line says,wait a moment,please.The child never ever say thank you,for such a call.I do not know how they are brought up by their families,yet most are the same,no more respect to the older generation and they do not know if they are already leaving the house,and then forget to say thank you,again.

Managing small kids is not easy. They can play a lot of pranks, and we have to make sure that they do not exceed limits. While hitting them is not a good option, may be at times, we might need to do a bit of it to control them, when they are not at all listening to us.

One of the most important rules of life for each child to learn is that for every action they do there is a reaction. Things that are positive bring on smiles, hugs and kisses, while negative things bring frowns, time outs and other appropreate reactions from others, even a delayed response should be related back to the original action clearly. Often parents get distracted and delay their reaction resulting in confusion on the part of the child. Parenting is the most important job you can have.

Being a parent is a challenge especially these modern days.
Kids are exposed to these modernization and they are beyond control once they're outside homes.
No parents ever wanted to see their kid/s grow taking the wrong path.
Setting a good example is one of the best ways to discipline kids without saying a lot of sermons.
