Age group of students: 9 to 13 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n Things I want my parents to stop doing:<\/strong><\/p>\n —Stop comparing my life with your childhood. Things were really different back then, so stop comparing.<\/p>\n —Stop using these words and phrases: use your brain, are you deaf? Can’t you see? Useless, careless, good for nothing….etc….<\/p>\n –stop showing off my skills. I don’t want to dance in front of your friends. I don’t like to do that. Why do you force me to sing\/ dance or show my art work to our relatives or friends?<\/p>\n —Can you speak softly? I’m tired to hear you shout, every day, every single moment.<\/p>\n Things I want my parents to start doing:<\/strong><\/p>\n —Smile, please… I don’t remember when was the last time my mom smiled. She usually carries a frown on her face. That look irritates me.<\/p>\n —Appreciate. I know I’m not good at all things, but many things only I can do, no one else can. So a little bit appreciation is good na….<\/p>\n —Hug me, I see how my mom hugs my 5 year old sister, but when I run to hug her…she immediately says, “Later, first do you work” huh!<\/p>\n —Play with me. I love to play with my friends, but playing with mom dad is fun! If only they had time to play….<\/p>\n —Tell me a story. I’d love to listen to their childhood tales, especially about their mistakes, failures and mischief. But my parents always keep telling about all their achievements. It makes me scared. What if I can’t achieve success the way they achieved….?<\/p>\n —Keep that Social Media aside. Talk to me mom & dad.<\/p>\n —Can I sleep in your bedroom at least once a month? I love cuddling you guys. So parents, wondering what to gift your child this holiday season, here’s your list. Be present for your children and make parenting engaging and fulfilling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Neha Tiwari Age group of students: 9 to 13 years.
