***I am struggling with unschooling my kid...***

What brought you to unschooling? What have you read about unschooling? Why do you want to unschool?

***... most of what u all say and do, cannot
be applied to an Indian home. :( ***

Can you elaborate? What's so different about where you live that trust and respect cannot exist?

*** I end up daily feeling guilty about the
authorative statements i make and TIME OUT that i issue.***

Well, you should feel guilty. <g> Those feelings will be part of the reason you'll be able to change. The next time you're going to respond to your child, stop for a moment and think about what you want to say and how you want to say it and how you will appear in your child's eyes. Then choose the words that will most benefit your child and will be the least likely to leave you wishing you hadn't said them. It will take time.
Stopping to think will be really helpful.

Apologize if you say something you regret.
