SOME GOLDEN THOUGHTS OF THIRUKKURAL
1. If your child lies to you often, it is because you over-react
too harshly to their inappropriate behaviour.
2. If your child is not taught to confide in you about their
mistakes, you’ve lost them.
3. If your child has poor self-esteem, it is because you advice
them more than you encourage them.
4. If your child does not stand up for themselves, it is because
from a young age you have disciplined them regularly in public.
5. If your child takes things that do not belong to them, it is
because when you buy them things, you don’t let them chose
what they want.
6. If your child is cowardly, it is because you help them too
quickly.
7. If your child does not respect other people’s feelings, it is
because instead of speaking to your child, you order and
command them.
8. If your child is too quick to anger, it is because you give too
much attention to misbehaviour and you give little attention to
good behaviour.
9. If your child is excessively jealous, it is because you only
congratulate them when they successfully complete something
and not when they improve at something even if they don’t
successfully complete it.
10. If your child intentionally disturbs you, it is because you are
not physically affectionate enough.
11. If your child is openly defiant, it is because you openly
threaten to do something but don’t follow through.
12. If your child is secretive, it is because they don’t trust that
you won’t blow things out of proportion.
13. If your child talks back to you, it is because they watch you
do it to others and think its normal behaviour.
14. If your child doesn’t listen to you but listens to others, it is
because you are too quick to jump to conclusions
15. If your child rebels it is because they know you care more
about what others think than what is right
Like it.. unlike it.. but don't ignore it..
Definitely worth a read..
