Parent’s Resolution on Children’s Day

Dear Parents

On this children’s day, promise the following to your child. We know you love your child and will do the BEST for him/her, but it helps to remember that you promised.

I invoke all Gods & Goddesses and promise that according to my ability and judgement I shall keep this promise and stipulations therein –

1. I shall nurture you like a delicate flower till you blossom and are ready to be independent.
2. At the same time, I shall neither Overprotect nor Dominate you as it would lead to inadequacy and lack of initiative in you.
3. I shall invest sensibly so that I have enough funds to ensure your education.
4. Even if I can afford, I will not be overindulgent, as it will make you selfish, demanding, and unable to tolerate frustration.
5. I shall respect your choice of a career and will not impose my ideas, just because it is the in thing
6. I shall not burden you with my unrealistic ambitions, as inevitable failure in them, will lead to frustration and self-devaluation. In short, my dearest I shall NOT push you to excel.
7. You are MINE and I promise to NEVER compare you with someone else's or condemn you.
8. Knowing that faulty parental models give a child socially undesirable value attitudes, I shall strive hard to provide an ideal role model.
9. Knowing that for you, quantum of time matters more than the ambience you spend it in. I shall spend good time with you without overplaying the quality time bit! I know you need it then and not whenever.
10. In addition to being a parent, I will also be your friend. But parent first as being a parent means setting limits and making rules.
11. I shall protect you from the available junk (both in food & electronic media) and do my best to provide nutritious fare for your all round growth.

AMEN!
