are hindering their way of thinking and acting. If we think profoundly, our children are
the reflection of ourselves. When I see any competitive nature in my children, I try to
revise my actions first before approaching them. I planned to flourish their thankful
attitude by practising it regularly. I have been encouraging my boys for thanking their
father as he is the most affectionate soul in the world. I remind the boys to thank their
auntie for taking care of them and for nurturing them. I have prepared a schedule to
convey gratitude to their grandparents by thanking them every week as they are the
most loving grandparents in this world. The boys have been passing their appreciation
to their friends during the zoom playdates. I observed they have started to cherish small
things in their life rather than complaining. It takes only a few seconds to thank
someone, but the power of thankfulness is astounding.
In conclusion, staying at home and social distancing are the new norms of life.
Sometimes it might be challenging to cope with new standards. To make the very best of
it we must encourage ourselves to spend quality time with our loved ones. Spending
quality time with our children is the best way to connect with them. As parents now it is
our opportunity to enlighten their thinking with compassion, empathy, and love.
