Taming children

By Prem Prasad Sigdel

Taming children is an interesting way of living, understanding, and engaging with them. It seems tedious yet enjoyable job that one can do with of love and complaints. In fact, it is an affection that has been the guiding principle between children and parents. Mainly, kids and their innocent behaviors are amazing yet puzzling. It can not be expressed in words or phrases because of its unique nature. One can use tricks like hide-and-seek, scolding and scaring; emotions like anger, crying, and cuddling to take them in a right track. Indeed, there is no bound of pleasure that parents have got in their life. Therefore, children are the foundation of happiness, contentment, and pleasure.

 “Child is the Father of the Man” is written by Wordsworth. No doubt, children are the sources of happiness as they are innocent. They are so much gentle that we can not guess at all due to their tricks of mistakes and excuses. The matter is that they do not tell a lie; or they have been able to accept their mistakes being compassionate. However, they try to oppose us being ready to be the loser; yet they have been able to win the game. They are often able to win others’ heart of being innocent. They often perform their talent of being concentrated which we can take as a factor of entertainment watching them. Sometimes they pursue us in a verbal circle by asking different questions one after another. They always talk different things that we do not imagine at all. Sometimes they talk about friends, surroundings, teachers, neighbors, and strangers. Mostly they ask us to tell stories at bedtime. It makes us to read the stories for their sake. When we don’t have content, it is difficult to assure them.

Children have strong volition when they want to do something, or to eat something , so they force us to do such things that we can learn in our life; neither would they weep and compel us to do such things. We need to manage resources, like money and others for them being conscious on time. They often think that their parents have been prosperous which is innocent yet aspiring. We need to have resources like money to fulfill their wishes at any time.  One can understand that there is no lack of resources with the parents when children are with them. They often remember time what we have promised so we should have been prepared for that.

They love playing very much which can be a tonic of exercise for us to be healthy. They often want to go out for roaming so that we can be free from idleness doing exercise with them. They do not go out without us so we can visit different places with them to fulfill their wants. They made us watch children shows in television and cell phone. Sometimes we must dance with them for their favorite songs and rhymes. They made us buy nutritious food items avoiding junk foods like noodles, biscuits, and chocolates. Children make us eat different items like junk food, or something they like, because they have tried that for different taste. When we deal with them they also make us taste such items that we can find in the market being their friend.

Children make us dutiful because they have almost same routine of eating and other daily chores. Children have fixed routine of seeping and waking up which help us to be regular and healthy. When sleeping with children adults or elderly would feel comfortable with love and affection. They are significant means of pastime for adults and elderly people. We take them as our duty to keep them neat and clean taking it as a pride of ours. They express lovely words that catch up the attention of others easily. It’s amazing that their questions are so innocent and we need to answer them at any cost. They suppose that seniors have known everything for them; or they have equal treatment to the elders without discrimination.

Sometimes we need to chide them; sometimes we need to confess mistakes with them; and sometimes we need to do consensus between us. We can establish a system of ours violating the standard rules of the society. It means they are unique themselves having different habits and interests. Sometimes they make promises for the next time which has been much incredible. When they are the age of school going you need to be busy to take to and back from school. We need to assist them for homework and project works which increase our reading habit. We can play with them because they seek your involvement when they are young. While playing, either at home or out of home, they explore such things that you have never imagined. May be useful or useless, they have made their playthings for themselves.

It’s a tedious job because people can not be free from them; or they need to be the salve of children those who feel bored. They should have followed and taken care in each step; therefore, it seems simple yet full of complexities. Punctuality is a must so a lazy person can not do such duty. Those who do not love children and their activities would be annoyed very much. Some people would eat their food items instead of feeding them. It is tedious job because the sitter is not recognized as a job. We need close relatives like grandmother, grandfather, mother, and father to look after them. Children often want to play which may disturb those who do not like games. They are often dirty due while playing so they need frequent cleaning. They often disturb the routine so it would be boring job. Sometimes they forced us to go out when we don’t have interest. They make mess of everything so it takes times to clean room. Some children might have developed bad habit of watching TV or cell phone which may damage their eye sight or habits. It needs high care, like cattle, due to their restless or naughty behavior. They force us to make different pretensions. Sometimes we need to do false promises when they insist to do unnecessary things or to eat unnecessary items. They may ask sensitive questions that we cannot tell them at all.

In conclusion, children are the sources of happiness and comfort. You can get full entertainment with them so that you should not visit any places for refreshing. You will be busy all the time when they sleep or wake up. You need to look after, run, play, giggle, talk, ask and answer questions, express anger and happiness, or weep and laugh to make yourself happy.  They are holistic exercise that can heal numbers of diseases for adults and elderly.
