Be consistent
Parenting is not doubt a time consuming and touch activity. However, you cannot expect to get the outputs within few days. Everyday will be a new one and with new situations, so you have to be very patient while handling your children and teaching them. At times you will find your children getting into your nerves for minor issues, but make sure not to panic or scold them. Parenting takes some time but things will be all fine once you understand your child. Not down the famous saying in your dairy that “slow and steady wins the race.”
