Relationship between the parents decides the child's future relationships

child forms his opinions and beliefs by observing the relationship between the two people who have given him life i.e. his parents. This relationship is the mirror in which child sees what life is all about. No other realities or possibilities exist for him because this is the first and closest relationship he grows up looking at. Thus, his personality also takes the shape accordingly.
Children who grow up in a happy atmosphere develop happy cheerful personalities and have a positive attitude towards life. And children who often have to go through the trauma of quarrels or experience tensions between parents, suffer from low self-esteem and lack confidence.

Parents are a child's whole world. This world is shaken and is filled with insecurity when children observe tensions between parents. This way, children also lose faith and respect for parents. They stop believing in relationships and are apprehensive to enter long term relationships. Their view of a relationship is distorted wherein they begin to believe that this is how most relationships end into. It's not their fault if they don't believe in the power of love, they never saw one. They may even become violent or aggressive or withdraw themselves completely resulting in a shy, quiet child who doesn't feel like or is afraid to express. Children may also become fearful and usually feel shameful of the situation at home.
Such is the huge cost a child pays for the strained relationship between parents. And this does irreparable damage to his psyche. No amount of love or visits to psychologists later on can then erase the scars on the delicate mind of a child.

So, resolve your misunderstandings in private. Don't cling on to them. Talk out your differences. They are too small in front of your child's happiness and that is what you want at the end of the day.

They say the best gift a father can give to his child is love his mother. And the best gift parents can give their child is love each other so that his life is full of happiness, and he nurses the desire and the hope to find love in life.

About The Principal
Mrs. Sudha Gupta is an educationist par excellence and a visionary with a difference. Her expansive vision encompasses children, parents, teachers and the society as a whole. ‘To create a better world' is precisely how she explains her vision.

She has done extensive work in the field of education for the past 11 years. As the chairperson of 15 branches strong chain of preschools known as Mother's Pride, she has propagated the concept of holistic education that focuses on overall development of children namely academics, life skills and talents. To bring the concept of holistic education to formal education, she established Presidium with a unique vision of ‘Be what you want to be'.

Being a renowned educationist herself, she knew that only happy and motivated teachers could make her vision a reality. This led to the conception of ‘The Knowledge Tree', an academy which imparts new age expertise and skills required in teaching and school management. ‘Leaders in education' and not teachers is what she aims to produce.

Sudha Gupta is also one of the nation's most sought after parenting expert. As the chairperson of Mother's Pride chain of pre-nursery schools and Principal of Presidium Senior Secondary School, Sudha Gupta uses her 11 years of experience of dealing with parents and children to pen down some inspiring tips of positive parenting.

Mrs. Sudha Gupta plays another role with aplomb, that of a humanitarian through the NGO Sparsh.
