A Simple Evaluation

You can just get to know that your way of parenting is working out well and you are making a difference in your kids’ life ….

When:

Your kids run to give you a hug after being gone for long hours.

When:

Her Teacher tells you that she is much focused.

When:

Your kid asks why one shouldn’t waste food and always thank God for the food we eat – and then she starts praying herself few days later.

When:

She says, “Mom, it’s OK” over your petty mistakes.

When:

She brings some small roadside flowers for you back from playground.

When:

She tells a friend not to lie by saying, “God will punish you, like you may be running and you might trip and hurt yourself really bad. That would be God teaching you a lesson.”

When:

After taking out one of the kids for a fun-filled day, she wishes buying gifts for the other sibling back home.

When:

She places a small bit of cookies for the ants and birds that come to the house balcony.

When:

She could feel the pain in her friend’s broken arm and empathizes.

When:

She waters any wilting plant.

When:

She asks how we call a Zebra crossing, if it is painted in Yellow & Black color instead. Later she winks and answers “A Tiger Crossing”.

When:

Asked to say her 3 wishes…She replies with at least 1 wish for the well being of whole humanity and not just as “I want this”,”I want that”,”I want…”.

Now pat your back or give yourself a huge applause. You could even do a Dora dance with your kid. Dora has become every l'il gal's sweet heart. Sing "We did it","We did it" as in her popular TV show. Twist your waist and move your arms to dance just as Dora and cheer up....Just go on, no more guilty feelings.
