How to set up a morning routine with kids?
It is quite unusual to follow a routine around kids and it has been witnessed by generationslong ago to the generation now present. To make children stick to something is a task. Believing they will follow it every day is no less than an illusion, so it would be a joke if someone says “Make a routine” while your kid runs errand in the room.
Common Fears

What do kids got to Worry about?
Oh! The lovely childhood! We often think of it as the most wonderful part of life and it is no doubt about it. It is a joy to see kids running, jumping, hopping and giggling away carelessly. They have nothing to worry about. They are in their own universe, their own little space in this big place.
Words that matter
It is always a cheerful moment when you have daughter. They seldom leave you alone and are a constant company for mothers. Having daughter is ride of a time machine, you never quite understand when and how did they grow up so fast.
Through the eye of a kid
Kids are curious creatures and their life is full of adventure. The stories they make up, the games they play, the way they behave and every other thing they do; all these has always fascinated every adult. “I wonder where he picked those words from?”, “How does he know how to wear those earphones?” all these little surprises leave us baffled. What we don’t understand is that kids observe us way closely than we are aware of.
Understanding the Potential
Potential, passion and positively occupied child is next to experiencing a heaven. But why it does not happened so often? Are our kids lacking? May be this is their limit. And we just accept that as fact and you cannot be much wrong with these assumptions. Kids are not lacking, it is in us. Our failure of not being able to recognize the true ability or talent in our children is what hampers their growth.
Let kids fall
Not many parents understand the importance of providing as much as required. Safe guarding the child from challenges make them weak. I agree, it is the hard for parents to see their kids struggle. Our heart breaks and stomach churns from just the thought of it. But the struggle they face today will build them for the future. Understand this little story

They start paying attention to things, try and understand the pattern. They take interest in exploring new things.
Tech-Indulgence & Kids
The above is piece from the interview of Steve Jobs, from the NEW YORK TIMES. It caused a large round internet. Can you guess why? Let us understand this one step at a time
Creating Happy Adults
As parents, we all want kids to bloom in to happy adults and to there are many ingredients that are required for that. Education, health, environment, family, neighborhood and other variables blended together result in the final outcome. Research shows that of all these, parents have a lasting and prominent affect on children. Parenting style adopted by parents matter a lot.
Should I ask kids to help around the house?
When we teach kids about the kind of hard work that is required in life, we must tell them how important the chores are. Yup…Chores…The house hold work. And no, this is no joke. When you send kids away for further studies or for their career opportunities you are not going to send a servant with them, are you? So how is your Raja beta or Pretty Princes going to manage washing clothes, cooking, doing the dishes and other house hold jobs?
Beautiful and Athletic
You see a girl playing foot ball, hanging out with guys in jersey and you call her…well you know it “a tomboy”. And on the other hand you see a girl all dressed up, blue ribbon in her hair, wearing a satin dress and you call her “a girly girl”.
Corona-virus gave kids a mini vacation but Parents where you prepared?
Well, there is no such thing as kids proofing and parents know it. Given the outbreak of Corona-virus, govt. has declared holidays. That means no school and it also means messy home. So what do you do to keep your kids busy at home? Tab, mobile, T.V., pc or video game, are these you’re the things that help you keep your child busy?
This being called MOM
Mothers are the superwoman we all know. Mom just knows what we need, how we feel and even understands us when we don’t say much. It is not a surprise that mom can feel everything their baby feels. Not to exaggerate but a mother can always sense if their little precious is in trouble or hurt. Being mother is the most talked about bond. This relationship is the purest form of love not because this bond has a mother. Then why are mothers so over protective, so loving, so stern and at the same time so tender.
That first rough draft
Writing is one of the rarest and most undervalued skills among students. And it is not there fault. The professor and teachers indulge them with spoon feeding at an age where imagination can grow. Writing skill are important to build not only will it help in improving grades but will also develop the ability to think and explain. So how can students improve their writing skills? …right ! So let’s jump directly to the points to remember.
Play and learn
Kids learn a lot when they play. They engage in in various kind of activities and learn from it. Kids between 2yr till 4yr learn many things as they play. Playing at this stage is an important part of developing skills and mental growth. Play, for children does not involves only one kind of game but involves different stages. These games evolves as they grow.
One more story
Having child is fun but exhausting. The trouble ensues when the bedtime starts nearing. Toddlers, somehow have the energy flowing through them at night. They seem to have their own plans that they want to achieve. They become bouncy balls that are hard to get a hold of. Running errands, they did be in a totally different zone. They have so much on their to do list and sleeping is at the bottom of it. Well…that wasn’t hard to guess.
Kota JEE NEET And Depression
“Why would my baby do such a thing? The preparations were good. Never have we seen our kid looking sad, we never thought our child could commit suicide.. why? What happened?”
This is a growing concern in India. The saddest part is that these kids who are suppose to enjoy the curriculum are pressured by the same. In fact India has the highest rates of suicide. The reason can be myriad but failure in examination and depression are the common cause. There are instances where kids end up their life right before the result due to fear of letting their parents down.
Destructive Teen Behavior
Kids between the ages of 2 to 4 year old, they perform various social skills and some of them are just to know how far they can push the limit. And no parent would want their child to grow up and become a socially challenged. Some parents end up being way too strict. And it is observed that the children who grew up with strict parents show inclination towards anti-social peers. But it is normal for a child to show positive and negative social pattern. The problem arises when the child displays more negatives than the positives.
A garden of secrets
There are many activities that you and your toddler can do together. One of the best activity is gardening. Yes.., gardening. Well there is reason after all… gardening with children provides the perfect combination of skills and tasks to address the motor development. Gardening is a great physical development activity.
Young children will practice locomotors skills, body management skills and object control skills while they move from one place to the other carrying tools, soil and water.
What’s wrong with you ?
As kids start with their adolescences there are sudden change in their behaviour. They locks them self in room and has become very secretive. Interest in studies are dropped. They keep saying nothing is wrong but we as parents don’t agree and feel they are not sharing thoughts.
When kids reach their teen years, it’s a time of transition and change for them. This is normal and should be expected even though it can be frustrating and confusing time for the whole family.
Trouble on dining table
Kids are unpredictable, they like one thing today and they wont even look at that thing the next day. One morning these little heads will be craving for rice cakes and the next day they would want to enjoy ice cream. You can never be too sure what they will eat. Some kids eat everything given to them while others will throw fit. So it doesn’t really maters if you are a chef extraordinaire or an amateur cook, children will be fuzzy eaters.
Travel Joy and troubles with kids
Are you planning a trip with your child?
If yes, you must be very excited to enjoy your journey.
By the way, are you perfectly ready to cope with the challenges you may face during the trip?
You know it or not but it is very interesting to think about some joys and challenges while you travel with your growing children. Surely, that a trip is going to be challenging as well as joyful with the children.
Teenage Drama
If you have a child in teens, you must be aware of their tantrum. Do you ever wonder what this teenage child of yours is up to? They don’t comply with most of the social norms and are busy in their own world. Frustrated, angry, agitated and always ready to get in the word fight. But these young individuals go through a lot of changes as they enter puberty. So, as children become teenagers, their brain grows and changes. And all these changes affect their behavior.
The Kings and Queens of Social Media
Social media has grown and expanded over the years. The usage of this platform is so massive that we can only expect the unfathomable. These platforms are very popular among the young ones. “Click before you eat” has become the new table habit instead of “Pray before you eat”. Uploading pictures, the check-in option on Facebook and add location on Instagram, literally, everyone in your circle knows where you are and what you are doing.
Read your way through
It’s fun and entertaining to watch your child speak and explore new sounds and words. By the age of 4, kids will pick up two to three letter words. This age is also the perfect age to introduce them to books. Encouraging them read will enhance their memory.
“But how I promote reading habits ?”
Parents! Watch your words
Apart from being parents, we are nothing but human. And it is human of us to see the negatives in everything. We acknowledge the good but focus on everything that is not right. What are we missing? What needs to be done? This is not the right thing and many more of such thoughts. And as parents we want to see the best in our child. And there is nothing wrong in it.
My baby is starting school !!!
Preparing the child for school is major milestone for every parent even though it involves a little bit of emotional conflict. You are worried about your little one’s new adventure. Your baby stepping out in the world alone can put you in a tight spot. And on the other you are happy that your baby will make new friends and learn new things. At this point, the emotions are riding the rollercoaster, you are happy, excited, scared, nervous and a tons of butterflies in the stomach.
Mine!! I want it back
“Mine!! I want it back.” This phrase is rather familiar to most parents. This is a tricky part in parenthood. Teaching kids how to share their toys is a tough job. They are very well known for not sharing their toys. They may not be playing with it but next moment, as soon as some other kid starts to play, they want it back. They will hold on tighter to the toy. They will not let go of it.
Look at others and just look at you
Let’s be honest.. we have heard this line as kids and we repeat this statement to our kids. Surprisingly we don’t see anything wrong in it. But this harmless statement is lethal. For some parents comparing is motivation. They show their child what they are missing by pointing out the good in others. Comparing a child is never a good idea. By doing so we are belittling the child forcing them to believe that they are not good enough.
I didn’t do it
Most children lie at some stage, lying is part of development and the child is also learning to accept and tell the truth. Catching young ones lying can be frustrating and a huge challenge. This habit can be fixed by changes in parenting style.
Let us consider a scene
Do I look okay?
Teens, these days have access to social media and it becomes hard monitor their every activity. These kids follow celebrities and many other people. They desire to look like them. This celebrity imaging is harmful. This has negative effective on kids. Teenager compare themselves with celebrities. Not only do they follow their fashion trends but they want to have physic, the looks and also the body size. The trends like size zero, plum lips, lean figure, good abs and what not…all these trends make them feel a little less attractive.
Big Bag Bully
They call me names.., they don’t play with me.., they laugh at me.., they push me and hurt me…, they make me cry… all these are forms of bullying. Your child may face such bullying at some point in their life. “It’s a phase.. you’ll get over it” is a common response that doesn’t works. It only leads to the downfall of the victim’s life. Bullying is a big problem that makes kids feel hurt, scared, sick, lonely and sad. Bullies may hit, kick, or push to hurt people, or use words to call names, tease, or scare them.
Being A Father
Looking after the newborn baby or a toddler is not the prime duty of only the mother. New dads may play an important role in the development of the child. Right? We are sure you agree with statement. Before the birth of baby, most of the couple think they are ready to cope with new challenges but suddenly they find they are confused because of different changing situations.
Behaviour change – A mega battle
When it comes to bringing an expected behaviour among their wards, every family has a different definition, environment, system, training and approach. However, majority of parents waste their efforts, time and power by becoming curer rather than becoming preventer.
Over-discipline insisting parents
Generally parents, who insist discipline and good behaviour among their kids, do resort to instructions, advises, punitive measures, physical or mental punishments and for that matter emotional punishments too. Such recourse done by parents often leads to creating many problems with children.
The Breeding of the good habits
Almighty confers the children into the parent’s hands like a clean slate. And, it is the overall conduct of the parents, their behaviour, their ideals – all these creates conducive surrounding for the child to learn and pick up. Normally children adopt and adapt to all good habits and culture after a prolonged observation of their parents. And, thus it is aptly said - parents must keep in mind that children learn more by not hearing but by observing.
Why do children become inactive?
In order to understand the behaviour of children, their habits, interests, tastes and their likings, one really needs to know the child psychology and thus understanding their social and mental development.
The Time Management for Child’s Success
The TIME-MANAGEMENT doesn’t mean time-table for study or activity. The Time Management also doesn’t mean to keep the child running with the clock, but, necessary to develop a sense to understand it.
The Roots of Rebellion Attitude
There are the definite reasons for children’s peculiar behaviour and its change, and often parents think that the child should understand their point or subject. But at the same time, the child is also having similar expectation from the parents that they too should understand their mind-set.
The Child is Speaking Unclearly
Mostly, the tongue is not causing the child to speak unclearly; however normally the parents believe that their child is not able to speak clearly because of the problem with his tongue.
The learning patterns of the child
It is really essential for every parents to know that “How does their child learn?” For one single incident or occasion, each child can be reacting differently. The children grown up in the same atmosphere can show different reactions for likings and disliking. Similarly, all the children are learning in the same atmosphere. It is necessary to understand the different learning patterns and procedures.
You can improve the child with inexhaustible patience
Usually the first child in the family is found more shy, introvert and dependable on others, even in small matters. This is true as he is being raised with much pampering and given much more facilities. He also becomes a subject of many experiments.
Inside of timidity
Children in company of their mothers feel more secure and safe. Thus, they don’t want their mothers leave them even for a moment. Child feels uneasy if you go out, perhaps to hospital or elsewhere, without informing him. Nothing can solace him in such situation. Thus, it is important to persuade him to accept circumstance before getting separated from him. Sometimes you can even use toys as an instance in order to explain things to him.
Keys of your child’s success is in your own hand
By and large it can be said that it is parents who can make their child either a successful or unsuccessful. Parent’s own mindset, attitude, education, ability to adjust with others and their skills to educate their child are most crucial factors for the child’s success or failure.
The Child safety at home and at school
Every year millions of children suffer from minor or major injuries due to lack of safety awareness. If the parents give a little attention to the children when they are learning to explore places in and around their house, it may save lives of millions children.
The Autistic Children
Often abnormality is observed with some children during their talks, relationships and behaviour as they are suffering from the Autism. In medical term Autism is described as “Bio-neurological disorder that is observable in early childhood with symptoms of abnormal self absorption, characterized by lack of response or other humans and by limited ability or disinclination to communicate and socialize.
Factors affecting child's development
For a healthy child the first seven formative years are very important for his physical and mental growth. The child’s genetic potential and learning opportunities are important elements which largely affect his mental and physical growth. By birth each baby arrives in the world with his few unique abilities of interests, inclinations and skills.
Curricular and co-curricular activities
The best method to educate a child is to teach him along with some extra-curricular activities. The extra-curricular activities are developing the children’s abilities to understand and giving experience too. The curricular activities help the child to develop his personality beyond boundaries drawn by the Mark-Oriented Education System.
What really should you teach to your child
Parents are too zealous to teach names of birds and animals to their child. They teach him math tables, they teach him doing homework speedily and compete fiercely, but never teach what is really essential. Eventually the children who succeed in studies fail in tackling the real life. In such a situation, this article will surely prove to be very helpful in knowing what really you should teach to your child.
What should you teach to a twelve year old child?
- Teach your child to talk candidly about his needs and problems.
- Teach him how to make request to others and how to convince them.
- Assure him that he can frankly talk about his problems with his parents.
What should you teach to a nine year old child?

- Teach him to ask whenever he has a doubt or lack of self-confidence. The habit of asking can save him from many problems.
What should you teach to a five year old child?

A Right Age for Schooling
A Right Age for Schooling What is the right age for a child to start schooling?
I think, a child having completed three-years of age on or before 30-6 (June 30) at the beginning of an academic year of the school can be admitted at the Nursery Level. However, in few cases the children completing 3-years on or before 30-9 (September 30) could also be given admission, provided they have good physical and mental growth.
Challenges Ahead
Usually while enrolling their children in the school the parents keeps contemporary scenario in mind. They consider aspects like choosing the opportunities and environment provided to the children in the school.
When can the child-rearing be a process of natural joy?
Academic education is not enough for the full realization of the child’s potential. The responsibility of developing his body, mind, interests, inclinations, arts, hobbies, imagination, health and a vision to look at the world is far greater than merely providing him with schooling.
Reap as you sow
Our society is on the verge of a change. A kind of narrowness in relationships is seen in the affluent families. A family having meal together has become a rare sight, except for the dining table of a restaurant. People, who are eager in keeping up-to-date information about the families of Amitabh Bachchan or Bill Gates, are found miles away from the matters of their own family. A father who has reached the summit of Himalaya fails to reach to the heart of his child.
Where is me in this vain complexity?
I am the focal point of my family. I am the dream of my family. I am the fulfillment of wedding vows and actualization of parents’ love. I am the dawn of my family's hope.I am the hubbub in the drawing room, a wonderful blend of array and disarray.
A vision is essential in building a career
Our entire educational system is working with keeping an eye on percentage based results. Majority of the parents are deciding the career-line for their wards on the basis of percentage they have obtained in the Std. 10th and 11th. The entire system acts like the child’s academic excellence has no connection or links with his/her interest, talents, inclination, skills and career. Right from the kindergarten level the parents are evaluating the performance of their children’s on the percentage they have obtained rather than looking at their natural abilities and talents.
Listen, what the child says
The child says:
Don't show me the way,
I walk on your steps.
I don't want your help in all matters,
let me struggle to learn new things myself.
Don't compare me with others,
I am unique in this world.
What is important, Teaching or Testing?
When the ancient Guru Dronacharya took the test of Kuravas and Pandavas , it was a test of their CONCENTRATION. And only Arjun had passed it!
When Udgupt, a great Buddhist Monk of 3rd century B.C., took the test of The Great King Ashoka, it was a test of his CONSISTENCY. And to pass this test, King Ashoka had to give up everything that he had!
