ROLE OF PARENTS TO TEACH A GOOD LIFESTYLE TO THEIR CHILDREN FROM THE VERY CHILDHOOD

• According to Cambridge Dictionary  -

Some one's way of living is his lifestyle .

It indicates the things that a person normally do in his day to day life .It plays a vital role in one's life .It can decide if you are going to succeed or fail in life .So there are certain habits that can make a man healthy When a man is healthy only then he can pursue his dream and be successful in life .Here again the good values play an important role . 

 

•  Teaching lifestyle should start from the very childhood .The parents both should be very careful while training their kid about life style .Children always imitate their parents first .They follow them without even knowing it but they observe their parents very minutely. Thus they learn their first lesson from their parents .Whatever value they will find in the surrounding they will catch it very quickly .So the formation period of any child is very crucial. 

•  To teach the children good values parents have to follow the same human values in their life .They have to follow the same healthy lifestyle which they want to teach their children .A healthy atmosphere in the house gives security to every child .Children can sense a good relation between their parents .Even if two fighting parents behave normally in front of the child ,the little ones can feel it in their heart though they might not be able to express it and it has impact upon them.So the parents should try to be in good relation for the sake of their children .When a mother is sad her mood is transferred to her kid .Even when the dad is upset the child feels reluctant to come to him and a distance is created between the child and the dad. Thus the child gets a set back in his normal emotional growth .

• If a child watches his parents to be hard working from childhood , that child will learn to work hard automatically .Likewise if a child watches lazy parents that laziness will be carried over to that child for sure .Parents can not blame that child for that as they themselves have set that example .So to have a healthy and active kid parents themselves must lead a healthy and active life . It is very important to teach children physical exercise from the childhood .

•  Another aspect is good food habit .Parents must follow a healthy diet plan at home .Once that habit is grown in the child he himself will take care of it in future ,otherwise junk foods will ultimately lead the children to obesity or other health issues .

To my mind the ultimate factor which the parents must understand is that in guiding the children they forget most often that it is not their life they are shaping .On the other hand it is the life of the little ones who are totally dependent on their parents initially .Most often it is found that parents force the children to follow what they desire their children to be .Thus they put their children in dilemmas.Let them grow up freely and be Happy in life .
