Others Nagging at your Child

 

 

 Have you come across people who nag at your child's behavior? If not, you are so lucky to have friends and relatives who are pleasant. Many of us, have noticed and gotten irate with others nagging at our child's cry, loud voice, etc. People who complain about other children and dont agree that such behavior exists in their own children are troublesome. Forget about our children and their constant nagging in the public, it can be managed, but friends and relatives who make a fuss out of it are intolerable, definitely. 

Ask them what their children did in their childhood, they will not have words! Some even dont mind making fun of their children, yet they love to nag about yours too. 
 
They complain of your child's cry when he/she is crying due to tiresomeness, or due to ill-health, or when hungry and irate, or when they are at a new place among strangers....there is a genuine reason for a child's cry manytimes, which only a parent can understand and justify. 
 
This time you ever encounter such a person, make sure to clearly tell them that you can handle your child on your own, that you dont need their help to discipline your child. It makes no sense in shouting at your child or disciplining him/ her in the other person's presence, just because they had a silly complaint of your child's naughty behaviour, which according to you and everyone else was not so bad. Why should we hurt our children for someone else's hapiness...we can deal it at home, later. Keep such uninvited intruders at bay! Be your child's best guardian!!
