What is better Controlling or Guiding your kids?

As soon as our child begins to grow there is a subtle sense of nervousness of how to brought him up should we try to control his/her activities or should give him enough guidance so that he can find his way on his own? This is certainly a complex question to answer because there are times when controlling seems to easy and convenient to let the child do what we want him to do or sometimes nothing seems better than a logical and compassionate guidance. But still one cannot remain puzzled all the times and cannot dwindle between two contradictory ways. However, guiding the child would always have better results than merely try to control the child’s behaviour and activities. Guidance comes with associated dimensions that are necessary to be followed and if pursued properly then both the child and the parents get benefited.

Discussion: discussion is very important part of guidance as it helps the child to freely talk about his/her problems and issues. A growing child has different kinds of feelings and emotions which are obvious to arise but condemning or controlling the child’s feelings would be wrong rather discussing about each and every aspect of his life would do wonders.

Taking Feedback: taking feedback from the child means to keep an eye on what direction the child is moving or is he/she going on the right track that you advised him to opt for? Feedback is also essential in order to know whether the child needs more guidance or any of your further help.

Explaining: explaining the things/concepts/issues is always beneficial it would let you avoid many of the confusions and misunderstandings. It is better the child explains to you everything and you too explain him the whole scenario so that a better solution can be brought out with a mutual consent.

do you find the aforesaid points relevant and helpful for you?
