With the extra curriculum after school, your child either likes it or loath it..
For billions of parents globally, the child day does not end with the last school bell. There are still craft to be done, songs to be sung and homework to be done. This in the interest of keeping your children occupied, happy, safe and out of harms way. But, for most dual income families, the parents attempts at juggling career, family and your child’s academic and creative development may prove to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Leading to a anxiety laden, stress filled, moody and mentally drained family. Will this be a trigger to depression? Prolonged situation like this could really strain the very 3 areas you set out to accomplish. How do we find the balance to sustain and enrich the minds of our young ones while performing at our peak during office hour all set within the backdrop of a health family relation?
I personally felt that personality is one decisive factor in determining the level of satisfaction and happiness you can achieve while walking the tight rope. A positive outlook of life will mean the difference between one who continuously see the failure and imperfection of ones effort and life is one big downturn after another or the person who celebrates every single little victories and spread the joy among family and friends.
After all Parenting is not just about baby-sitting, spoon feeding and 24hrs offspring protectionism.
What would success and accomplishment meant without tasting the bitterness of failures?
Children, family and work satisfaction thrive only if it is backed by a balanced parental involvement and communication. Not a shouting match whenever theres need to get things done.
Understand what captivate your child..
Instead of convenience or following the mainstream being the decisive factors, take time to observe and discover your child’s interest. Before you sign-up for a program, understand and find out what contributions are expected in the long run.
Free time to relax and recollect:
Many children attend piano classes, followed by ballet and squeeze in some time for play dates in between just before they rush home in time for bed. This rigor maybe too much for a child. Feel the pulse and go slow on the pace if things are happening too fast to enjoy or learn from the process.
When to loosen up:
Often, parents enroll their child in an activity to discover that he may not be the prodigy they thought he would be. This is the time to let go. Your child may not become the next wonder-kid. But, let him cultivate an interest that he enjoys and can be proud of. This could be the foundation to something that would blossom over time. Remember, happiness and fulfillment are the things that really matter.

Depression can affect us for a short period of time, from just a few hours to a few days.
Depression can be an opportunity for growth in disguise, it can be short lived or progressively intense for longer periods of time, but we have to be careful in attempting to medicate it without first understanding what really is Depression…

When it comes to physical, emotional or mental discomfort this has come to mean looking for simple solutions to whatever ails us. If you get a fever, take some medicine. If you get depressed, go to the doctor and he/she will give you some anti-depressants
Treating only the symptoms of depression as oppose to looking deeper at the root causes of our body signals and little else will seldom results in long term cure. Symptoms are the body’s way of telling us that it needs or is having too much of something, or it may be fighting off an infection, in which case symptoms can help us determine what it is that will assist the body to overcome it’s challenge.
Depression is also a sign, a sign that we’re not really happy. It may be obvious, but think about it for a moment. If some deeper layer of ourselves is trying to make us realize that mentally we are unhappy, is it likelier that taking some happy pills is going to make us truly happy, or taking the time to reconsider just what it is that makes us feel satisfied? In this way depression can be very much the hidden opportunity for growth. When we’re forced to reconsider our life choices, daily activities and the like we’re apt to discover or revisit different ways of thinking and experiences that fit better with the person we are today.
With the exception of extreme cases where individuals truly feel they might harm themselves, anti-depressant drug therapy may help give some aid to tackle depression in manageable packets. Depression should be seen as the heralding of a burst of change. Change, after all, is the only constant. We feel death pangs as we outgrow old perspectives and ways of living; just as night unfolds to the next day, depression always yields the birth of new happiness, fresh ideas about what is satisfying and how to manifest these inspirations in our lives.
