Hi

Hello. It seems like your son is facing some behavioural issues and it’s important to address these issues as soon as possible. Please seek help from a mental health professional so that these issues don’t exacerbate. Take care.

I understand your concerns as a parent, and it's natural to want the best for your child. To raise your 7-year-old as a gentle, down-to-earth person, remember that it's a journey that takes time and patience. Lead by example with kindness and empathy, showing him the value of these qualities in daily interactions. Encourage gratitude and help him appreciate the joy of experiences over material possessions. Engage in activities that nurture his creativity and foster a sense of compassion towards others. Be there to listen and have open conversations about values and emotions, creating a safe space for him to express himself. Remember, your love and support will play a significant role in shaping his character and guiding him towards becoming a kind and down-to-earth individual.

Hi dear parent, This is normal behaviour as per the mentioned age, don't take stress with age he will gain maturity and understanding. Just try to be more non judgemental and calm. Consult with our experts for learning resources skills for  tackling the children and conscious patenting skills.

Hi.. The core issue is lying latent in your query. Perhaps I would suggest parent counselling over and above child counselling. Also, you need to keep your child's upbringing away from your own personal differences with your in-laws. Dual thought process is even more harmful for a child than being materialistic. He will eventually learn things that you and your husband value, but it is not absolute. There is always an element of individual differences when it comes to learning/parenting. We can teach anything to anyone and s/he may learn what s/he wants to learn anyway. What we can do best is to be a good role model rather than trying to be a guide/guru. A child must know that there are other ways of dealing with the same situation be it personal, social, or professional.

Hi, You need parental counseling for proper guidance. Till then, visiting Ngo, spiritual places, meditation can help.
