Parenting

I am no expert at this, but this is something which I tried after reading tons and tons of articles online while I was pregnant and applying some basics to both the boys. And this is something that worked wonderfully.

As parents, we wish nothing but the best for our children. We find ourselves going to great lengths to give them the perfect, most comfortable childhood. This need to ‘construct’ a joyous childhood experience has reached another level with the introduction of social media. It almost feels like we’re being informed of how to raise kids in a mechanized manner to achieve the desired goals.

Being a mother and experiencing motherhood is one of the best thing that could happen to any woman. And you truly treasure it once you are a mom yourself. Small challenges make you stronger and the sleepless nights make you more strong willed to take care of your child and stand for them no matter what. It makes you patient, resilient, mature, understanding, a multi-tasker, crazy, angry, snapping, loud and all other good and bad things at the same time.

We live in the age of digital media and we practice what we preach. How long can you stay without looking at your phone? And how many times do you take a peek when you’re with your baby?

Parenting is an instinct, an emotion, a relationship. It cannot be strategized as per the light of the sun. Why is there so much importance given to night-time parenting and sleep training?

My firstborn never bit, nor screamed nor had a terrible two. But I saw a different side of him when I delivered my second born. The first 3-4 months were fine as the baby would sleep and he would get all my time. But when the sleep time started decreasing and playtime started increasing for the little brother, the older sibling became someone he wasn’t.

Food, healthy eating, and junk food are every mother’s concern.

Can you as a parent improve sibling bonding? We as parents can definitely contribute to strengthening the bond, rather than simply waiting for the kids to outgrow the sibling rivalry.

The bond between a father and a child is as special as the one between a mother and a child.

Be the voice for your child till he gets one of his own. And while being his voice do justice to him as you would do to yourself and stop blaming the grandparents and relatives and everyone around you for not being able to do the best for your child.
