Every parent wants to give the very best to their
child. The question remains, What is the very
best? With todays demanding time schedules
balancing between family and work is the first
challenge. A gift of love, the child comes in as
a new member of the family. The child is the
adult in the making, requiring a completely
different set of skills to be nurtured.  The
behaviour of the parents, the choice of words,
actions etc are all creating a deep psychological
impression on the child which will manifest at an
later date so far apart that it will be
impossible to connect the cause and its present
effect.  Understanding the child and their needs
is the only way to relate with them in a manner
that will support them in realising their true
potential. All of us are first time parents and
external help is necessary. POD, Parenting On
Demand is a platform that is created by
passionate group of people who have been working
with children over the past decade and understand
this acute need. This platform brings together
some of the most reputed child counselors who are

time to call or in case of need speak to them

your identity.

Helping your child understand death
Death is a sensitive and difficult topic to deal
with, not just for adults but also for children.
Children may not understand the full extent of
the concept of death, and sometimes parents find
it too difficult to explain to their child
because they may be dealing with grief too.
However, events as significant as the death of a
family member or friend may leave a lasting
impact on the child, so it is important that your
child understands what exactly has happened. It
is certainly not easy to talk to your child about
death it may be one of the most difficult things
to do as a parent. But its vital that your child
has some clarity about the situation, so as to
avoid feelings of confusion, fear, and
helplessness. As a parent, you may shy away from
the topic because you fear not knowing what to
say to your child, because your child may ask
questions that arent easy to answer, or because
you yourself are dealing with intense feelings of
grief. It is normal to feel this way, but there
are ways in which you can help your child
understand the concept of death. The best way to
deal with the subject of death with your kids is
by being clear and encouraging of questions.
Although you may not have all the answers, you
should provide your child with a safe space to
ask questions freely and comfortably. If your
child does not understand something in
particular, clarify it and ensure that he/she has
understood. Your own beliefs about death may play
an important role when talking to your child
give them your spiritual understanding of death
and dying, and ask them what their perspective
is. As a parent, you may want to sugarcoat things
by giving your child simple ways of understanding
death, such as by saying, grandpa has gone to
sleep or grandpa has gone away. While these
metaphors are easy for your child to understand,
they may cause confusion and doubt in the future.
To avoid this, try to be more direct and clear,
while simultaneously encouraging your child to
ask questions and raise concerns.
