Parenting ways impacting children

I believe that parenting is the most difficult job in the world. It is easy to run a company, but difficult to parent a child and the results will be clearly seen when the child grows up. At all times a parent has to be vigilant of their own behavior along with guiding the child. Children pick up everything that happens in their environment, good or bad. When they are young they do not even have the ability to differentiate between the good and bad, they are just observing their parents, teachers and elders in their life and trying to follow them. When a child picks up something bad from their environment again it is the parents responsibility to make them understand and ensure they are not getting engulfed in it. It is a every day job with absolutely no slack at all.

Now my son is grown up, and I can say I have done a fairly good job, but still there are some areas where I feel I could have done better. But there is no way I can go back in time and reverse anything. I have to accept whatever he has grown up to because that's a result of my own parenting ways. He is the only child so I did over pamper him and fulfilled all his demands. I never let him felt lack of anything. My hubby would always tell me then, this is not the right way, but I would over ride him and do it all my way. As a grown up person my son faces some challenges on this front. He was so much protected by me that in tough situations of his own life in his relationships he would break down very easily. I felt very guilty in those times, that I could not give him that strength to face these kind of situations in life. He is vulnerable to relationships due to my over protectiveness. He is not strong enough to deal with these situations. Though with time he is learning.

Parents bring up their children in ways that they feel right and with their own childhood experiences. For me, because I had a very difficult childhood I wanted to give everything best to my child. It was always a feeling for me that my child should never suffer for anything in his life, so I was always very over protective of him. In the bargain I did not realize that I was making him vulnerable rather then making him strong.
