Single Child Parenting

Its not easy to decide having a single child in India. As a parent there are many challenges we will be facing . Most importantly from our elders who insist to have at least 2 kids. Once the child turns out to 3 year pressure increases. When we were small we had good time with siblings. Some time we feel our child going to miss it. Now a days our children's in early age ask us mama why am i alone ?  My  friends have brother / sister. Being a parent it is difficult to explain them our decision. We can understand their loneliness. As per my observation boy child will not be more worried about being single but girl feel more emotional being single child.

However we can handle these situations if we are wise.


Be the Best Friend to child

I usually spend more time with my kid. Also encourage child to be free with you. Listen to their feelings it may good or some time bad as a friend guide them to right direction. If we behave like parent they will depend on others to share their emotions.

Express your love

Every day morning "I wake up and say" to my child  "I Love U" it makes me so happy to listen from her "Love u too".  nothing wrong in expressing it when we really mean it.

Social life 

Allow child to improve their social life. If we restrict them from playing with friends they feel alone and become addicted towards  unwanted habits. of course we are living in society. Encourage children's to become part of it. However we have to observe them when they are playing ,we can't leave them unattended.


Encourage Good Hobby

Hobbies are our best friends. Its always important to find child's interest and to turn it into become a hobby by giving support to improve it. craft , books reading,music,dance Art,swimming many more.

Be a Role Model

children's usually follow their elder siblings. single child always follows their parents more. influence of our behavior will be more on them.Try to become a good and inspiring parent always.

Have a pet at home

Having pets at home has several benefits. Recent survey on "Pets at home" has proved it. Children's will be happy with pets. It provides love and companionship. It eliminates the pressure of being alone and comparison. It makes them feel happy.


   Although we grow with siblings. We all have our own challenges to face. We should lift ourselves up when we have problems in life.we should face our responsibility by ourselves.
