parents

My three old son has picked up few concept of violence and words in the process of growing up and exploring the world around him.
Few things which he says are
I will hit you or others when I become big.
I will shoot you with gun like that uncle in the movie did.
With my friends I will dash you and you will die
Two cars will race and then they will dash and everybody will die

We cannot stop his exploration and picking up the words but we try to
replace those concept and words at home like...
In the movie or TV they are acting to hit.
Toy guns are for fun play for kids.
Toy swords are for fun play.
When you want to hit - you can smile.
When you will raise your hand to hit I will tickle you and then you will laugh.
Cars run on the road in their lanes. See all the vehicles on the road
are moving nicely.
When he shoot aiming at anybody face - I give him option of shooting
at the wall or roof or floor - shooting at anybody is not allowed.

Any thoughts

One day one child in geniekids ask me -"are you step mother of Dhrupad" (I am adoptive mother of my 3yrs old son dhrupad)
I asked - "what is step mother"
she said - "one who makes the baby do jhadu-pocha (dusting and moping)
I replied - "would you like to ask your mother - what is step mother?"
She said - " my mother only told me step mother make baby do jhadu-pocha
I replied - "does mother not ask baby to do jhadu-pocha?
she smiled at me - "but you tell me are you step mother of Dhrupad ?
I replied - tomorrow you ask your mother and tell me whet is step mother
and we finished the conversation. - she was around five year old.

Friends,, My objective to share this with you to make you think on - How do you handle such situations in the class room?
do you think "what kind of thoughts mother has put in child's mind and think about 'good or bad" parenting?
do you think it is an exciting opportunity for you to explore and know what child is thinking?

My child came to me and said "I did not win the race today. I am not good in sports".
I said, "My dear child, you need to practice every day to win the race. The child who won the race practices everyday."

Next morning when my child got up she said
"I do not want to win race. I am going to support Meera to win the race next time also."
I retorted, "WHAT! What about you? What about your future?........"

Before I got up next day morning an angel came to me and whispered something in my ears.

I smiled and got up. I straight went to my child and said "Who won the race yesterday in the school? How can you support that child to win the race next time also?"

My child was not amused. She asked, "Did the angel come and whisper to you also?

When I told this to my husband he had many question in his mind:
"BUT…Why…My child….Race…..Win….. "

When I told this to my friend she too had the same worry in her eyes:
"BUT…Why…Your child….Race…..Win….."
