Challenges

While parenting their children, many individuals face various challenges. Below given are few of them:

Related to Children’s Education

	Less participation of working parents in children’s development in after-school time
	The decision of majority of parents about their children’s education are somehow inspired from their friends / neighbours / relatives etc. rather than their own analysis.
	Even for the crucial decisions like selection of stream, future profession’s choice etc., majority of children solely depend on parents.
	Until metric level, they find it difficult to plan academic roadmap for intermediate and higher studies. Finally, High School Marks decide whether it would be science, commerce or arts stream.
	The children become demanding and many a times arrogant due to the facilities given by parents.
	Proper attention, quality time and required guidance to understand the pain of parents in getting those facilities is missing.
	Children are gaining capability while losing the compatibility

Related to Children’s Professional Career

	Many children do not want to pursue what their parents are doing.
	Many feel that their children cannot with stand the hardships they had faced in their early phase of struggle.
	They see their children’s energy level and restlessness as nothing but a manifestation of sheer aggression with insufficient experience to realize their phantom desires.
	Mutual disagreement among siblings and/or other family members
	Division of the family enterprise
	Internal friction due to generation gap and the difference in perspectives

Majority of parents feel that they would structure their next generation’s mindset as desired after completion of academic phase. Once the children start or are about to start their practical lives, parents share their experiences and other relevant aspects. Many a times, parent could not get the expected outcome.

Reason

A child’s brain structuring starts at an age of 6 years. Parents do their best to provide best education and other facilities to their kinds. Due to different pressures related to work & family, parents pass-on the development responsibility of their children to others (may be school, friends, relatives, etc.) during this crucial period. After an age of 16 years or so, it becomes very difficult to change or modify the structured mindsets of children. Then they perceive themselves as well-informed adults and become eager to see the world from their own eyes.

What else parents need to do?

They need to provide the suitable environment to their children so that they may learn to distinguish between right and wrong regarding the important decisions of their lives.
