Toddlers & Tantrums

Toddlers throwing tantrums is normal. We should not expect them to behave like adults.  As parents,  We should learn the way to handle their tantrums. But it is hardest learning in the world "Uffff".  That is what we feel.  But it is not that much hard,  once your start understanding them properly.  Imagine the below scenario,  Fit in yourself there and think  what you will do???  Scenario: You are crying lungs out because of  deep sadness/cranky emotions that triggered you personally.  While you cry,  the one very close to you comes close to you and giving tight slap on your face,  scolding you to stop crying on the spot.  How do you react at that moment?  You stop crying a very next second or you cry more than before???   You feel left alone or you feel safe by words & action of your closed one at that moment???  Even as adults that solution doesn't  serve the purpose of problem. How for toddlers it serve the purpose??  But still it happens to toddlers because we as

An Entrepreneur Journey of a Toddler

Why always our childhood ambitions be like Teacher, Police Man, Pilot, Astronaut???  Why not an Entrepreneur??  An Entrepreneur gets recognised by people only when they get peak of success.  From our childhood,  we have mindset like either it is tough  job role or it will not yield success&money as required on time.  On daily basis,  we depend on Entrepreneurs from buying vegetables to the place where we work. But when it comes to the point of ourselves starting a business  or our children  starting business,  we hesitate & fear a lot.  First we need to learn & then we can think of becoming a master.  Break a myth about Entrepreneur and let our next generation know that being an Entrepreneur is also one of career path they can choose.  My 5 yrs old son Vihaan running an " In house Toy Restaurant" and also played the role of chef & waiter in his restaurant. He named it as " Vihaan's Restaurant".  Vihaan's learning as an entrepreneur & Chef

Our journey with extreme preterm baby - Part 4

#PrematurityAwarenssMonth Our Personal Journey - Part 4 I got shifted to normal ward. Met doctor but not baby. Doctor told we have to wait for 7 days to get confirmation whether my baby will be alive or not for sure with medical complications. OMG 7 days. It was like 7 yrs for us as parent. After a day of delivery, I was allowed to meet my baby. 24 hrs was like 24 yrs for me. Baby was at ventilator and incubator support immediately after birth.It took 7 days to touch my baby with my one finger inside incubator. How hard it is for a mother to wait for 7 days to touch her baby that too with " only a finger touch "?????( I always had dream of holding my baby immediately after birth like how all mothers usually do after delivery. But all my mother dream went away in air.)He had major Infections.So even mother not allowed to touch him / handle him for his safety till major injections wiped away. We took all precautions each time to enter into NICU ward to see baby. In Doctors list

Our journey with extremely preterm baby - Part 1

October 15 - Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day

  Oct 15th -  Pregnancy  & Infant loss remembrance day is a day for remembrance of pregnancy loss & infant death which includes, however is not limited to, miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, and the death of a newborn. Let's discuss the least discussed topic in our country.  1.Let the parents grieve in their own space.  Do not indulge with unnecessary  advices without  understanding their actual feel. 2. Stop saying " Do not worry.  There is always second chance".  3.Even 1000 chances never equals a single loss.   4.Be it "40 days" inside womb,  Be it "Still birth",   Be it "SIDS", -- "LOSS is LOSS" 5.Stop asking the couple when is next pregnancy  plan?? 6. Stop advising "Start planning soon so that you forget the loss" 7.Parents body, mind  & medical factors needs to decide when to have their next child (or no child)after a loss.  Society should not decide. 8. Even after the loss,  they are still parents of the lo

A question to Men & Women

Each man in family  should ask one question to themselves.. When  a woman in family cook all 365 days.  Is there any one who cook for her atleast few days fully except  her mom/mother in law??  If answer is big "NO" then something  needs to get change in family system🙃🙃🙃 Bitter truth of 90% Indian families😒 Dear Women,  Please do not over do anything in name of love/sacrifice to your family. Let them learn sharing of equal responsibilities irrespective of gender.  Remember your children tend to reflect  what you are doing now..They learn from your actions.  "DO NOT" make them believe that everyday cooking&household work is only women's job. Big threat of carry forwarding gender bias to our next generation. I know this message will not reach many. Eventhough you read, your mind will not accept it(Men&Women). Because we never in mind state to accept bitter truth/mistakes of ours. Sad state of our society.  If you wish,  you can change🙂 Change starts f

A Message to all lovely Home Makers

Dear Home Makers(Men/Women),  A message from me to you. Due to this pandemic many lost jobs/life. Those families in which bread winner(Only source of income) of family lost job, suddenly, their total family under financial struggles.  In those families those lost life of  bread winner of family,  totally damaged emotionally & also financially.  Hard to see their state. "Life is unpredictable".  It can throw us at any situation.  Never depend on one family member's income at home.  Once that one family member lost job/life,  you have to be in position to move forward to support family financially.  Keeping skills as "Hobby" is entirely  different  from "Making Money" out of your skills. It is hard to make money out of your skills. Never think  that your today's hobby skills can give you quick money tomorrow. Plan and just keep a derived way of  "How to make money from your skills". Have atleast one skill out of which you can make money

Education should give us freedom to express our rights..

My son Vihaan's inspiring experience in his school. #OurExperience #SchoolManagement #Parenting  Education should also give the freedom to children  to speak what they feel about their basic valuable  rights. This is what I personally feel and taught to my dear child. Currently  there is lot of negativities spreading  about schools, teachers & online classes.  In between this,  I wish to spread some positivity regarding my son's very own experience in his school.  This post is not for doing marketing/branding any school. So am not adding school name anywhere.  Without any judgement just read for the goodness in it.  Last academic  year, same as other schools,  annual day preparation went on in my son's  school also. I am a kind of parent who usually hesitate towards annual day celebration concept,  due to various reasons which includes children's mental health(I will write seperate post regarding that) One day I got a call from  Vihaan's teacher. What she said s

How to get rid of depression? #DepressionKills #DepressionSolution

Untill I searched today in google who is " sushant singh rajput",   I never knew him before.  That much poor knowledge I have. Every life matters. I  understand all of your sadness.

Child Safety Awareness (Realtime Incident)

Sharing with you all a real time child abuse incident faced by a child.(Character names are changed). Mithu was at her 4th grade. Her father's friend Girish (A retired headmaster of govt school) was a regular visitor to Mithu's house.  One day Girish visited Mithu's house. Mithu opened the door. No one was around Mithu at that time. Girish: Hi Mithu , how are you? Mithu: I am fine Uncle. I got first rank in term examination.  Girish: Oh great to know. Come with me. Let's we go near to that closed steps. No one disturb us. We will play together. Mithu:. Heyyyy jolly... (Girish sat on steps) Girish: Baby, sit on Uncle's lap. Mithu:It is ok Uncle. I sit here itself on steps. Girish:Do not hesitate..I am your uncle. Mithu: Ok Uncle. Suddenly Girish kissed inappropriately on little Mithu's lips saying  "Good girl . You got first rank in your examination". Mithu felt something wrong going around her. But she was not sure
