Children - God made himself through us….
We all love and strive to be a better parent each and every moment of our life.
All our hard work & the result of which, the gathered wealth are all for our children……but, during this course of our busy day to day schedule do we concentrate on how well are we parenting them?
We set benchmarks, targets and KPI s (Key performance indicators) in our corporate work culture. Do we analyze our self how well we score as parents? Any KPI, targets or benchmarks for that? How to measure parenting?
The below questionnaire will help you to analyze where you stand in parenting?

o Is your intention towards your children is positive OR negative? – What is your parental intention?
