I involve my 5.5 year old daughter in the small events u do as a hobby and she comes for each one of them because she wants to ‘help’ me.

I let her come and she does 2-3 small tasks. One day she was drawing something on the white board and when i saw what she drew, I knew how impactful her visits are in my events.

She drew a scene of the party we were decorating for.

Involving toddlers and preschoolers in YOUR routine helps them build confidence and a sense of identity.
They will make mistakes, they might mess up, but if taught patiently and lovingly, they will blossom into confident individuals.

Share this story with parents who have such budding kids. 🙂

Has something similar happened with you? In the heat of the moment, you scolded your kid and realised it later what they were actually trying to do and felt guilty?

You are not alone!
This happens with the best of us!

It’s you’re having a hard time dealing with your toddler, don’t hesitate to connect!
It’s better to approach the situation with awareness than ignorance.

The worst thing I hear parents say is “Abhi baccha hai, apne aap Samajhdaar ho jayega. Abhi bacha hai, bacche to Aisa karte hi hai… jab bada ho jayega to sab theek ho jayega”

Before the baby arrives, we’re so confident about managing everything—work, social life, home, and, of course, the baby. It all seems so planned and ‘sorted.’

But reality hits differently once the baby is here. With all the rush of hormones, sleepless nights, and endless tasks, it becomes difficult to stay focused, organized, and on top of things.

Share this little story with a fellow mom as a gentle reminder to take it easy and give yourself some grace! ♥️

As simple as this incident may sound, denying a child what they want often leads to tantrums, crying, or shouting—especially in public.

Here’s why there was no drama in this situation, and why, as a parent, I still managed to stick to my decision of not buying junk for my daughter:
• Anticipate the scenario beforehand: I knew taking my daughter into the shop was risky, so I prepared myself mentally.
• Stay calm and consistent: When my daughter asked for a sweet, I didn’t react emotionally. I simply said no and reminded her of our deal.
• Consistency is key: I stayed firm in my decision, no matter how much she insisted.
• Maintain a calm tone: I kept my tone gentle and my expressions neutral. If I had shown frustration, she likely would have mirrored my emotions, leading to a tantrum.
• Be patient: Remaining patient prevented the situation from escalating.
• Ignore judgment from others: I didn’t let the shopkeepers’ smiles or giggles bother me. My focus was on handling the moment with my daughter.
• Offer a reasonable alternative: By allowing her to buy something healthy, I gave her a sense of choice and satisfaction while sticking to my principles.
• Encourage negotiation: She learned to negotiate when she realized she wasn’t getting exactly what she wanted.
• Celebrate a smart choice: She made a thoughtful decision by choosing a healthy yet tasty option.
• Explain the “why”: I calmly explained why I wasn’t allowing junk multiple times, rather than just saying no. This helped her understand my reasoning.

This incident taught my daughter valuable skills, including:
• Patience
• Confidence
• Negotiation
• Channeling her emotions
• Expressing her needs
• Effective communication

Once you have a second child, the first born becomes the older one. But we often forget that even though they are older, they are not old, and are still kids, still learning to regulate their emotions.

Major reasons for sibling rivalry are when the older one feels unsecured.

Let’s treat all kids as individuals and not favour one because of age. Definitely the older ones understands more, that doesn’t mean they need to compromise more.

Parenting is a teamwork. In Indian culture, parenting involves the whole immediate family!
It’s extremely important to be in sync while raising a child. It’s like pulling a cart towards a destination, if everyone pulls it In different directions, it will not go anywhere.. and if everyone pulls it in one direction and in sync, it will move in the desired direction and will be easy on everyone! ❤️

The coming year is going to be a roller coaster for me with the arrival of my 2nd baby and I cannot be more thrilled as I wait to explore this journey!

When I hear other people’s stories, I already know it’s not going to be a smooth road, but knowing this prior is helping me prepare myself.

There are going to be uncertainties, there will be overwhelm, but I have to remember my strengths and focus on what’s most important for me, Peace and only moving forward! The speed this year might be slower, but I know I need to keep moving! 🙂

Hoping the same for everyone in a similar boat or going through a different transition!

Stay focused, whatever that is you want to achieve personally and professionally… and you’ll be just fine. 🤗❤️

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS! 2024! 🎉🎊🥳👏🏻
