Are your toddler not eating vegetables? Are you also tensed by toddler tantrums? Do you find veggies out of their plates everytime? Have you tried everything to make them to eat?  So first thing you have to find is that why they are not eating veggies, whats the reason behind it:  Doctor tell us to introduce food to our kids after 6 months, we make food for them differ from what we cook for us. So when we introduce veggies to them, they have the fear of new or unknown food, so they dont even want to taste it. Some toddler feels that vegetables are bitter in taste, so they dont want to eat it, bitter taste are undesirable. Some toddlers are confused regarding the sour taste, but you dont have to worry for that, pediatricians says that our taste changes when we grow, so some veggies which we dont like as toddler, can love to eat when we grow young. Veggies dont look interesting to them. Toddlers eyes are attracted towards colourful things, or things which has interesting shapes. How to t

We all know that due to this corona pandemic, our lives has been changed. In this lockdown, school has been closed and online classes are going... news state that government are planning to reopen schools. So is online studies and reopening of schools are good for our children? Firstly lets duscuss about online classes: We teach our children to remain away from mobiles, tv, electonic gadgets... but now we are forcing them to sit 2 to 3 hours on these screens to attend the online classes. This online classes can't take the place of regular classes.. this is only increasing the pressure on parents and children to complete the assignments, worksheets, projects.  Due to continuous staring on the screen many children are getting headache, eye problem,  brain problem. Online classes needs different device to login. If a family has more than 1 child then it is becoming difficult for them. They need more devices, high speed internet, more GB's are required. Worksheets are given online.

                                    Rakshabandhan India is a country of festivals. We celebrate many festivals in india, one of them is rakshabandhan or rakhi. Rakhi comes in august, this year rakhi is on 3rd august. Significance of rakhi: Rakshabandhan signifies the bond of love between brothers and sisters. This bond doesnot only  mean between brother and sister by blood, this is beyond blood relations, the only thing you needed is true love. On rakshabandhan, brother takes an oath to protect his sister from any evil. Rakshabandhan is the day to re-live our old memories.           You should teach your child importance of rakshabandhan from the beginning to help them to know about this so beautiful festival. Long distance rakshabandhan:  Some brothers and sisters live far from each other, either due to their studies or because of not being sibblings. Sisters post their rakhi along with a sweet rakhi message to their brothers and brothers wear it on the day of raksh

                                   Second child feels good Having our first child is the best experience we have, because that is the first time we become a mother, that all experience was new to us. But having a second child is fun! First time everything was new to us, but on 2nd time we know all about pregnancy, delivery, birth. 2nd time no one will give us any advice because they know we already grew up a child.    Second baby is the best gift we can give to our child. We will not be there with our child for soooo long, but our childs will be there with each other in every good and bad time. You will love ur 1st child by knowing how he loves his little brother/sister, how he take care for the lill one. On 1st time it was very difficult for you, because you have to change your routine, your lifestyle, you dont know anything about parenting, these all are new to you, you are afraid of doing things properly , but on 2nd time we were used to all these things, that will be not new to us.

                              Importance of grandparents Grandparents are child's best friends, masti partner and a great teacher to our child. Grandparents are very important in a child's life. We always say that a child birth is rebirth of a mother, but child birth is also same important for their grandparents because it gives them opportunity to live their own childs childhood again, in their grandsons or grand-daughter. Grandparents tells stories to child, stories which they enjoy from them. They give undivided attention to their grandsons or grand- daughters. Sometimes, we parents were busy in our daily routine, our work but grandparents are the one who give their full time to kids, they spend their time with them to teach them our principles, religions, our cultural heritage, our family histories. They help our children to learn who they are and where they come from.           Grandparents have broader perspective in looking things than us. Grandparents helps children to

                  Relationship before and after having a child Having a child is such a great feeling, like a rebirth for every mothers. But its not that simple, our life cant be same as before, our relationship with our spouse dont remain the same. Before having a child our love, our attention is just for our husband, but after having a baby that love, that attention, that care divided between two of them, or can say we give attention to our child more because they need it more. Communication becomes less or demanding:  With the birth of our child, our responsibilites increases, we got tired by the household work and by looking our child and their needs whole day. Because of this the communication between us and our husband becomes less, or we just talk if we need help regarding to your child. We should fulfill this communication gap to increase our bond, by asking any of the family members to watch over baby, or by spending time when the baby fallasleep atleast for 10 minutes, having

                                                             Story time Stories, a tale or narration of either true or imagined event. Every child wants to listen to stories, me too want it when i was a child and i know, you all too wants to listen to stories at that time of age, that stories are now converted in the form of novel to us.   Children too are the superb story teller, they have their own stories created by their little mind, sit and ask them someday to tell you stories, you will be surprised hearing them, its my own experience, my child too narrates any story created by his little mind in a very beautiful way, i really love to listen to his stories.        My child love to listen to stories both at the afternoon and night in the time of sleeping and i too love to narrate him because it gives us our mom and son alone time and i have shown in my previous blog how our alone time with kids is helpful for them, the link for that blog is given below: https://sha

Motherhood, a job of 24 hours 7 days without any single break. We mothers understand how tough is this...jobs are of 6 to 8 hours but a job of a mother is of full 24 hours, at night also we wake up thinking is our kids sleeping properly or not. mothers are not able to grasp a single minute for themselves, If we do anything for ourselves we feel guity of not giving time to our child or ignoring them... but why so guys, we also have the right to live, right to feel fresh, and that freshness makes us to do our work with more engery. Mothers also need break.                We think that our childrens are only our duty, so we dont ask anyone for help, but dont do that ,if u need help from your family members feel free to ask them either for looking over your kids, playing with them or anything that are possible for them to do. We should spend some time with ourselves either doing our hobbies or just doing nothing, because if we dont do that it leads to depression or stress in us which will

Phonics means understanding the sound of each alphabet, phonics helps us to decode each word into the corresponding sound of each alphabets in the word.

                        Lockdown studies As a mother of 4 year old boy, i can understand that all the parents are very tensed related to their child studies during this lockdown... Making small kids  to sit and study is very difficult, they are not having the sitting habbit due to lack of school routine...        But we can make our kids study and learn new things easily.. we have to do is just make them study in their ways.
