LET ME BE ME

The other day I visited one of my cousins. It had been long since we met and so was very nice to sit and chat with her. She has two daughters aged 10 and 8. Lovely girls, well groomed , well mannered. I could sense the pride in my cousin when I praised her daughters. We were sitting in her room and she asked her daughters to get juice and cookies from the kitchen. We went back to our chit chatter when suddenly a loud crackle made us both sit upright with a jolt. My cousin called out her daughters and asked what happened. I followed her to the kitchen and we saw that her younger daughter had dropped the cookie tray and the bowls broke. My cousin suddenly lost her temper and started scolding her younger daughter. I tried to calm her down but she became very hyper. She yelled at her younger daughter and said, “ why can’t you be like your elder sister. Has she ever broken anything. Learn something from her.” The poor girl had tears in her eyes and went to her room crying. I took my cousin...

The Meeting

Meera was completely busy with finishing her post graduation when her parents started talking about her marriage. Being a typical businessman, Meera’s father never allowed her to work. Despite of being a trained post graduate teacher Meera could not fulfill her dream of becoming a teacher. She was shattered and very angry with her parents but could not fight her dad. Meera’s mother as always consoled her and talked her about the meetings that would be planned to meet prospective boys as is the case in arrange marriages. Meera could not ever understand that how by meeting a boy for just about half n hour, you decide that whether or not you want to spend your life with him. How insane is that, Meera thought. She could never come to terms with this. But somewhere in her heart she knew that she would have to follow it, go through it, however stupid it may seem.                                     ...

Raising boys vs Raising girls

The other night I was reading this fairy tale to my 6 year old daughter where a princess is captured and kept in a high tower for many years. In the end the prince  charming comes and rescues her and they live happily ever after. In the end my little one asked,” why did the princess kept waiting for so long ?? Why didn’t she try to run away?? Why did she need the help of the prince??                                            I was shocked and I actually did not have an answer to her questions. She was absolutely right!! And I wondered why do tell all these stupid tales to our girls where the Prince Charming comes to their rescue whenever they are stuck in life... The next morning I took all the fairy tales away from her bookshelf and stocked some new inspirational ones. This incident raised  a lot of questions in my mind.             ...

Why don’t kids listen ??

Hi people!! Here I am with my first attempt to help you all (if I can ) with the greatest challenge that we as parents face today-“ BACHCHE SUNTE HI NAHI “ !! Be it any age group.. any matter— they just won’t listen to us. And on top of it- cherry on the cake.. they would argue back and answer you back- jab dekho gussa karte rehte ho.. !! Heartbreak right !! I can completely, totally understand.  So what to do ??  Here are 5 ways to make your kids listen to you: Listening —As parents we need to listen and listen from heart. Hear out all that they feel, they think, without giving your special comments, without judging. Simply hear out. And try to be in their shoes. We need to get down to their level and think like them to understand them. Without that there can’t be any discussions but only arguments.  Team Work —We need to work with them as a team. When there are awards you both win but when there’s failure you both fail. A very renowned psychologist gave th...
