Never Force a child

In the park I noticed a mother and a child sitting in the bench. The child was clinging on to the mother and was watching other kids playing. The mother was talking to the child something.

After sometime, I saw the mother pulling the child and making him sit on the merry go around and rotating it. The child started screaming. The mother wanted the child to enjoy the ride. But the child was in total fear and was crying. 

Please don’t do anything like this to your child. Do it only when the child is ready. When put into a new circumstance, the child will take sometime to adjust. At that time as a parent we should be with the kid to console him and give him confidence. Rather it is bad if we do the otherwise.

I have noticed it before also. In the park the parents will try to make the children play. As soon as they take the kids to the park, they expect the child to play happily. But please, this will not happen. Kindly realize this.

Give child sometime. Let him sit and see other children playing in the park. He will understand that it is good to play. He will see the fun other children are having. Slowly he will start playing. Never force him to do anything. Let him learn in his own pace.
