hi
i am dr sureka tiwari i am a
psychological counselor and a
homeopathic doctor
i practice in bangalore for the last 21
years and i've been in this profession
for the last 31 years
i have two clinics one in an hsr layout
and one is an acs layout children by
nature are sensitive children by nature
are emotional because for every
need they are dependent on their parents
they are dependent on the environment
as they are growing up there are some
children
who have some special gifts and i call
them gifts because
when a child is extremely sensitive then
he is sensitive to
every change in his environment
even a raised eyebrow for a certain
child can
be as good as an admob machine that i
have not been
looked upon as i have been okay and in
the eyes of the parent the child always
seeks complete validation the child
seeks complete support the child seeks
unconditional love
emotional and sensitive children are
even more so
seeking we as parents and especially
again in today's context if we see then
we as working parents
who have a lot of responsibilities who
have
had so much education in our hands that
we also feel there is an obligation
towards
ourselves you will have to schedule
time you will have to schedule space
you will have to schedule a lot of
understanding
and more than anything else i've always
seen that we as parents when we start
accepting our child with the special
gifts of being emotional being sensitive
and then we are little
patient with them it works wonders
because remember
this sensitive child who's today
sensitive to
your scoldings is tomorrow going to grow
up
and be very sensitive to your needs
it's a very selfish way of parenting but
if it helps us
why not more than that this child
who is extremely emotional now what do
you define as emotional
emotional is when the child does not
have a practical side
he or she is very easily hurt but then a
child who is easily hurt will also be
easily pleased
a child who can be easily afraid can
also be easily cajoled
we have to decide what is our level of
patience
they only require patience they require
an overall development of their
confidence
and they require an overall picture from
you
that hey listen you are emotional you
are sensitive
i love you and i we both are going to
tread this path
very gently and very firmly
