I am qualified professional. Earn in millions. I have always been a topper in my academic career. My spouse in intelligent too. He/she earns well. Now we are absolutely ready to have a baby. I will bring lots of toys for my child to play, will arrange best school for him for his bright future.
But, my friend, still the question remains. Do you qualify for being a parent?
If you get impatient when answering to any child many times, it really means he needs training for communicating with the child. Because parenting is more about struggling with the child’s psychology.
As we are not any qualified professional in child psychology we definitely need to know how baby’s mind need to know, roughly at least. Keeping your surroundings clean and feeding him nicely is not the only thing you need to do. A child of age 2 years can understand a lot many things than we can even imagine. The child can differentiate between the words those are good or bad; he might not understand. This gives challenge to many parents (though being great in career) to deal with the small yet big problem of dealing with psychology.
Ask yourself, have you ever handled or faced any child independently? His meals, his problems? If not, then first have some experience with other kids and see the hurdles their parents face. Join any pre-school for some period to get to know about kids. If you are a parent already, then you must know your child’s current mindset and act accordingly in a clam manner.
Your child is an independent entity and not your extensions. So, parenting is all about art. A wonderful art enjoying his childhood and live your own with him. It does not need any qualification but a strong common sense along with your own childhood experiences.
