Introduction

Bringing up a child is no sinecure. In fact, responsible parents are very afraid that they may possibly not be bringing up their child in a proper manner. There is a difference between allowing your child to grow up, and you bringing them up. Good parenting is not something that you are going to learn from books. It comes out of experience.

This book is going to give you plenty of information about how you can raise really responsible, morally strong, remarkable and praiseworthy children.

I remember an instance, when I went on a family excursion with a couple of my relatives, and their children were along too. The children were smart, witty, good-natured, intelligent, high-spirited, self-confident, considerate, and well behaved.

During most of the trip, I noticed other people also present during that trip looking at these children admiringly. Most of them must have been feeling how the parents had managed to bring up these well-balanced and happy kids. The parents were reassured that these children were living up to their potential and would become well-balanced adults, and successful in any field they chose.

In fact, they were kids, of which any parent could be proud.

When confronted with such examples, your first instinct is to ask, how is that these children have turned out so well? Has it something to do with having intelligent and responsible parents? Has it something to do with the gene line? Or has it everything to do with the upbringing?
What did the parents do or not do while they were bringing up these youngsters? What did parents have to do to raise kids as remarkable as these children, I had encountered in the family excursion, all three of them, all brilliant, good-looking, smart, humorous and sensible.

Being a parent yourself, you are also going to be eager and keen to know the answers to these particular questions. Well, I decided to go around asking all my friends and acquaintances, all of them experienced parents, and got commonsense information, tips, techniques, and methods of bringing up children in a proper manner.
