Many parents face the challenge of raising children in nuclear families without the support of family members. It is not unusual to see both husband and wife working. The stress at the workplace often consumes them mentally, physically and emotionally and leaves them fatigued. They come back from work exhausted while their children wait expectantly. Besides giving time to the children, parents also have additional responsibilities like household chores and social obligations.

Children need to be nurtured and given years of physical and emotional care, love and attention. Parents are required to fulfill their demands, acknowledge their mistakes and give correct guidance while enveloping them in a blanket of love and security

I am sharing with you some suggestions, which I hope will help you succeed your parenting journey.
