Our children possess a combination of traits that sometimes surprise and intrigue us. Especially if some of those traits are at variance to the ones we were born with. The parenting challenges appear even more daunting when there is a clash of traits.
Do we push the children to develop their strength and resilience or do we allow them the space and liberty to develop at their own pace ? Do we ceaselessly push for success or do we teach kids to embrace failure too ? Do we push for academic excellence or get them to aim for all round development ? Do we adopt strictness and punishment or do we choose permissiveness and liberty in dealing with our kids ?
These are some of the questions that grip many parents as they grapple with parenting challenges.
Parenting with charisma and purpose.
