    Parents should understand that their children are students also!

    Naturally, parents have great love and affection for their children. They provide them with all types of facilities, help, support, and whatnot. Due to overcare some children get pampered and it becomes difficult for the parents to guide and direct them in a constructive territory.
    Parents must understand the fact that though these are their children once they start going to school then they become students also. If the parents want their children should take an interest in studies and make a career out of it then they must keep good control and vigil on them in addition to giving them the usual care and support.
    So the point is that parents should not give unnecessary care and undue attention to their children and maintain a steady pace from the the beginning so that when the children become students they should not feel any change in the behavior of the parents.

    Yes, the author is very correct in the sense that the parents should maintain their consistencies in their approach. They should make it a point that they should not overdo in the name of discipline. They must be at least a good observant and in the process of implementation of any action, they need to weigh the pros and cons of their actions so that the actions of the parents don't become confusing to their kids.
    The kids are not always wrong and in some cases, they take innovative steps beyond the comprehension of the parents. In such situations, the parents should have a frank discussion with their children why they have taken such an action. If they are in the habits of frequent discussions with their children, it could've been a beneficial effect for both the parents and children.

    They are children to their parents in the house and they are students in the school. That is true. Only up to 4 years, they will be spending their full time in the house. Once they attain the age required they will admitted to school and become students there. But they will continue to be children to their parents. For any reason, parents should not have any bias towards their children in school. Parents should always be watching the movements of their children and if they feel that they are on the wrong track, a corrective action should be taken by them. If they leave their children liberal, the children may not understand the repercussions of their behaviours and suffer a lot in the future. So the basic responsibility of correcting erring students is on the parents and after them, only the teacher's role will come.

    Children should be brought up in a balance atmosphere of care and guidance. Pampering them will simply spoil them. Parents have to understand this hard fact and avoid any unnecessary affection. Today there is a step competition in the world around and children have not only during the studies but even after getting a job. Parents should try to make them this understand.

    We have had quite a few discussions on the pampering aspect. I think this thread is, in addition to hinting about that aspect, emphasizing the need to inculcate an interest in school academics in a way that they get an interest in learning various subjects, but at the same time neither just through rote learning nor putting excessive pressure on them. Indeed this is easier said than done because of the huge competitive pressure of getting good marks, keeping up with peers, and thinking in terms of a future career way too early that puts too much of a weight of expectation on a young child. Perhaps young parents of today are merely replicating what they went through so in that sense their student years are getting reflected exactly in a similar fashion in the upbringing of their children.
