Sure, our kids can work amazingly with technology, but do they always smile or say hello when they bump into someone on the street? Technology has helped us connect seamlessly with people across the world. But our upcoming generation might just not be able to have an actual conversation ‘in person’.
Many years ago, kids in school were called ‘bad boy/ girl’ or ‘not a good child’ when they didn’t comply with the teacher’s instructions or showed signs of tantrums or frustration. Now, we’ve come a long way. Children today are taught to manage their emotions by developing social and emotional learning.
The ideology is that if we need to raise children who are self-aware and conscious, we must teach them to be kind to themselves by mastering their own emotions.
Most parents these days are working and when the school holidays hit us, it’s juggle time. Well, as most parents know, planning is key when kids are at home. Creating a routine for the kids and yourself can help to ease the mental pressure, but those two months will sure be busy!
With the days getting hotter, its evident that we all should drink more. And since its summer, it’s obvious to be tempted on a hot day to reach out for a sweet, cool bottled drink. Well, we all know that water should be the first beverage to look out for. But pitted against all those super colas and squashes, water is usually left behind.
The innumerable images, videos and news reports are not hidden from children. As parents, our primary thought would be to keep our kids away from the violence that’s posted all over social media and television. But it’s better to speak to your child about it, rather than ignoring the subject altogether.
Resilience is the quality that allows us to recover from setbacks or challenges and helps us get back to living our lives. It is one of the most important qualities that you can build in your child.
Just like the word suggests, ‘Conscious Parenting’ really means looking into your inner self as a parent and fixing things within you first. This interesting concept is much talked about and followed by many parents […]
Little kids have loads of disagreements. Parents with more than one child, usually deal with at least 3 squabbles each day! It can be a case of both kids wanting the same train or a fight about who gets to play with it first. And there’s lots of yelling, kicking, crying, screaming, tantrums, and more, forcing you to step in.
It’s not easy to take a step back from ‘parenting’ and think about what a child expects from you. Now, am not talking about how your son always wants to play video games or hang out online and you mostly have a ‘have you finished your HW? (or something else)’ up your sleeve. What does he really expect from you? Are you living up to his expectations? Should you live up to his expectations? Well, it’s a thin line.
