Why Parents have to Grow too?

Our Kids... Growing every year, every day, every moment. In order to meet all their needs, parents will also have to grow every moment. Grow with your kids, cherish them.

The conventional methods of dealing with children are not applicable anymore. After all, it's not the same world. The cruel competitive surroundings, the many dangers caused due to exposure, and increasing diversity of cultural inclinations around us make it very crucial for us to unlearn and relearn for the sake of our precious angels.

So, let's do it then. Let's grow for our kids.

Is it okay for them to be ardent believers of all that they see and hear? They grow up eventually, right? Wrong.

Gender Bias

Are you a Girl?

Don't Confuse Children by indirectly criticising the other gender

Sometimes, the set notions about how a child belonging to a particular gender should behave are rather silly. For a child, relating to his/her gender is important, but we have to be careful that s/he does not develop any animosity or a strong dislike and/or disrespect for the other gender.

Bank Account & Husbands
