The modern concept of nuclear family has made the kids lonely by default. When the nuclear family is further fueled by the working parents, it becomes worse.
The kid in his most vulnerable period of life becomes absolutely alone and even it has been observed that the kids have fallen in the habit of talking with crows or other birds, when the birds fly inside just to extinguish their interest of dialogues. Imagine the irony!
Moreover when the parents start suffering from inferiority complex due to their non-availability for their kids, the situation changes. At times, they try to cover up their faults by indulging the kids and again sometimes they become rude due to their own professional occupancies. In either way, when it reaches the extreme, it harms the kids even further.
The psychoanalysts advise to have patience in spite of their busy schedule and try to match the wavelengths of the kids, whenever they get the slightest opportunity. The kid should have the feeling that his parents are for him and they are the real wisher.
Its better to be friendly with the kids than taking the stance of a traditional headmaster.
Never forget to spread positive energy when you are with your kids, so that even the kid gets moral boosts. The fact of life remains that the professional world has created a lot of turmoil in relationships, but a matured focus and optimal utilization of time may help your kid to grow his confidence.
