I’ve been a curious father for the last 2 years, 2 months & 2 days. This period has made me more conscious about how I communicate, especially with my child. I am sure, there are a lot many parents like me out there who carefully choose the words especially they use around their kids.

Realizing the fact that our parenting style is hidden in our daily conversations only, I started observing my own conversations right when my child was less than 6 months old.

I started writing about the topic “CONVERSATIONS” on my blog #NothingElseMatterz.com & I wrote 5 articles in a row. Here’s the index:

So, I believe, I can say with some authority that I have a serious interest in this subject and I want to go deeper on the same.

In the last 2yrs, I’ve recorded almost 592 videos of her running around here and there. I often listen to what my child is trying to say, very clearly.

You might want to look at our tonight’s live broadcast conversation where I mostly respond to what my child is trying to say.

Now that my child is growing up, I thought I needed more elements to foster positive conversations. So I created a simple customizable sticker thing for parents like myself which is available today on Amazon for anyone in India to purchase right now. But this is based upon my thesis, aspirations & assumptions which can be totally wrong in many ways.

Hence I am looking for feedback, comments & suggestions from curious parents on the following lines:

  1. Do parents really look for external elements (like stickers) to foster positive conversations? If not stickers, what do parents look for?
  2. Do the kids even care about external stimulations like this?
  3. What kind of elements do parents use to encourage their kids, other than just the conversations? (Should I also give an exhaustive list of options here?)

Would the parents OR for that matter even kids care about such a thing, only an experiment will tell?

Thesis:

  1. There are many parents who often scold their children and equally appreciate them.
  2. Whereas there are many parents like myself who try never to scold the child &

PS: This is just the beginning of this research. I aim to keep on adding a lot of structures on top of it.
