Are you a Role model for your Kids?

Notes on Adolescent Child This is being a recent trend that you hear from mothers saying their boys are not listening to them and wants the father to do the task. But  nowadays we see kids are not listening to Father also. Have you ever wondered why? Adolescent age is transitional period where children undergo a lot of Physical as well as mental changes. Generally all growing young children would like to have a role model for them. Their first role models are their parents only. Mostly all boys will mimic everything their father does believing his father always does the right thing and he is the best. I have seen a lot of changes in the concept of leadership in the family. Before‚ husband or father is a revered or respected person and the main earning member in the family. So as the head of the family his words were respected by all in the family. But in the new family concept this system no longer exists in most places where wife is also an earning member and she openly challenges the decisions of the husband and even belittles husband in front of the kids. This has ruined the concept of role model for them. This is the major reason we see a lot of battered children whose parents are either divorced or quarrelled at their home. The best thing parents can do is understand the Physical and psychological changes in growing children and be good role models at least in front of them. Shared from Google Keep
