Ever noticed…
…while your eyes are gazing at the screen of your phone, the little footsteps approaching to greet you gleefully in the morning.

…when you are engrossed in an ‘intense wassap’ chat with a friend and you

…In the rush of your morning duties, while you are rolling chapatis, when
there’s just 10 minutes left for the school van to arrive, and your child comes
enthusiastically asking to roll them with you. Your instant reaction is ‘NO’!
…scribbles in your office book, and you scream ‘NO’!

A certain list of prohibited acts for a child is imperative, but is there
a way we can swerve his/her attention and hook it onto a positive that he/she
CAN do?
Have we realized that the ‘NO’ implies shutting all the doors of
exploration?
That repeated ‘NO’ can either lead to dullness, lesser
confident individuals, or gregarious rebels?

to actually make the very goal of our lives.
On the other hand, how do we discipline?
… this will be discussed in the next article.
