Etiquette to right parenting.

For all parents!

Thirukkural was written by Thiruvalluvar (A Tamil poet/writer) more than 5,000 years ago. It's one of the ancient sciences on Human Behaviour which has not changed despite Modern Education and Technology!

               SOME GOLDEN THOUGHTS OF THIRUKKURAL

  1. If your children lie to you often, it is because you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate        behaviour.

  2. If your children are not taught to confide in you about their mistakes, you've lost them.

  3. If your children had poor self-esteem, it is because you advise them more than you encourage them.

  4. If your children do not stand up for themselves, it is because from a young age you have                    disciplined them regularly in public.

  5. If your children take things that do not belong to them, it is because when you buy them things, you   don't let them choose what they want.

  6. If your children are cowardly, it is because you help them too quickly.

  7. If your children do not respect other people's feelings, it is because instead of speaking, you order  and command them.

  8. If your children are too quick to anger, it is because you give too much attention to misbehaviour      and you give little attention to good behaviour.

  9. If your children are excessively jealous, it is because you congratulate them only when they              successfully complete something and not when they improve at something even if they don't                  successfully complete it.

10. If your children intentionally disturb you, it is because you are not physically affectionate enough.

11. If your children are openly defiant, it is because you openly threaten to do something but don't        follow through. 

12. If your child is secretive, it is because they are sure that you would blow things out of proportion.

13. If your children answer back at you, it is because they watch you do it to others and think it's            normal behaviour.

14. If your children don't listen to you but listen to others, it is because you are too quick to jump to        conclusions.

15. If your children rebel, it is because they know you care more about what others think than what is    right. 

Tailpiece.

Got up at 6, the chores and was ready by a half past 9. 

There's a cat that is trying to be friendly with us. We give him food and do not disturb him if he's lying around outside the house, even if that position comes in our way. We've named him Kittu. Must be about a year old and is grey in colour with black stripes.
