The journey of parenting is not an easy one, from a young and childless couple to a new life. The whole process can be mesmerizing and is going to sap in a lot of energy. Some of the parenting regrets during pregnancy start and it continues towards the advanced stages of life. In fact a lot of things would have been done better by the parents and hope the depicted information below is of some help.
Not breastfeeding your kids enough
Breastfeeding is good for both the baby along with the mother. The worst part is that many women regret of not having breastfeed their babies enough. Infant is going to need some milk during the first 6 months which can be switched off to other solid foods. Do breastfeed your kid till 6 months and if possible till a single year.
Working out too much
One of the biggest parenting regrets is not having spent a lot of time with their kids. This is more so because of professional commitments and all of us live in a stress free world where all of us are busy. Do ensure that you spend some amount of time with your kids on a daily basis and if possible you can extend the maternity leave if you want.
Being too tough as well.
You have to agree with the fact that parenting is a lot harder than expected. You want to be the best with your kids, but sadly this does not work out to be the case always. Many parents regret the fact that they have been harsh with their kids and instead try to be patient with them. When things are getting out of control, you should try to control things.
Too easy
Maybe you belong to the category of parents who cannot say a no to their kids. In the later stages many parents tend to regret that they were soft with their kids. Being reasonable is the key and you would love to provide your kids with all the love, but do make it a point that they are not spoilt in any way.
Loosing focus
Your kid should pick up some form of extracurricular activity and this could be in the form of swimming, cycling or dancing from a young age. Sadly most of the parents are more focussed on education along with other related activities. Regardless of your personal interests you should go on to introduce your kids to various hobbies.
Internet on the higher side
All of us are aware of what it means in the first place. Too much of anything is bad. This is part of your daily life and you are likely to come across people sitting in a restaurant and flipping through their mobiles. Children instead of playing with their friends are more glued to the internet.
Let us face the fact as these are some of the common regrets that are experienced by the parents in due course of their life.
