Parenting and its styles are well documented in Psychology. It is a process of growing/rearing up the children so as to socialize them as responsible adult citizens. The process is governed by a certain set of rules and behaviours prevalent amongst parents. Parenting is supposed to be a highly fulfilling prophecy, as the process is expected to develop mentally and physically well developed children, who, in turn will support the parents when they grow old, thus serving the society and the nation. However, the matter in the modern scenario is not as simple as it seems to be. The changing scenario has turned parenting into a complex and stressful event, may be due to lack of time and neurotic hurry which are the consequences of prevailing competitiveness. In this era of positive psychology, it has become important to sensitize the common men about the meaning and methods of positive parenting so that the parenting becomes a relaxing event and the processes become easier and rejoicing. It is important and necessary in the interest of progeny. In this context, it is important to delineate the concept of positive parenting in details. The present paper highlights the meaning and methods of positive parenting along with an effort to inculcate a belief that the children are not difficult to carve if positive environments are created and a faith that the environments can be easily controlled in a family.Keywords

Recent years have seen a sudden surge in an array of cognitive dysfunctions such as decline in memory, distraction in attention, lack of concentration, and other attention related disorders. Stressful lifestyle in this competitive world may be the ischolar_main cause. Modem therapeutics though has a spectrum of drugs for the management of cognitive dysfunctions, but they are having serious side effects and habit forming nature. Therefore, in the last few years, there has been an exponential growth in the field of herbal medicine, and these drugs are gaining popularity in both developing and developed countries because of their natural origin and less side effects. Present study is also aimed at exploring the role of Shankhapushpi, a herbal plant in attentional processes. A pre-post, placebo-controlled, double-blind, two groups design was used. Sample was selected from college going student volunteers, belonging to an age group of 19-25 years. Total 50 subjects were contacted and tested upon their span of attention. 30 subjects having a moderate span of attention were selected and divided into 2 groups of 15 Ss each. One group was experimental group, in which the subjects received Shankhapushpi powder (3.5 gm per day with honey followed by aglassofmilk) for 10 days. Other group was the control group, administered with the same dose of ordinary powder (made with coriander, spinach, fenugreek etc.) in the same manner. Two types of attentional processes i.e. Alternating, and Divided were taken. The subjects were tested on these tasks before starting the administration of both powders and immediately after stopping the administration. Obtained scores were analyzed by using't' test. The results indicated that ten days administration was not sufficient to leave a significant impact of Shankhapushpi on any type of attention. Higher doses need to be tested before drawing any generalization.Keywords
