A Sneak Peek Into A Four-Year-Old Kid’s Mind

Introduction

As a toddler’s parent, your adult mind is always trying to make sense of what’s going through your kid’s mind. We know it happens! Questions like, “Why are you flopping on the ground?” “Why are you biting me for no particular reason?” “Why are you peeing while maintaining eye contact?” often haunts your mind. The biggest issue is that neither you come to know what they are thinking, nor can they tell you. Are you the parent or the nanny of your four-year-old champ? Are you desperately trying to find yourself to talk some sense into your child as she whines, cries, or freaks out even more? Are you trying to step into her shoes instead? Then these few points are surely going to give you a sneak peek into a four year old kid’s mind.

1. Kid’s mind: I don’t know how to say what I need to say.

I’m feeling big. Having scary feelings, and I don’t have the words to tell you how it feels. When bad feelings engulf me, I can’t think straight.

Here’s why: Toddlers feel bad just like adults do – they do feel angry, frustrated, sad, scared, confused, and so on.

As adults, what is the first thing we do when we have a negative emotion? We take a pause, think about it for a while, and then carefully decide how to react. Isn’t it? But the part of the brain responsible for stopping us, helping us think and decide how to react, isn’t fully developed in toddlers. And so when babies aged 0-3 feel negative emotions, their brain tries to drain the map, as a result, the emotion takes over them. This is when they start throwing temper tantrums.

What to do: Your little one needs your help to put words to her feelings. Labeling an emotion is one of the best ways to help them feel heard so that they can calm down and move forward.

2. Kid’s mind: Please tell me again.

When you say, “How many times do I need to tell you?” it seems like maybe you are annoyed with me. But I do need you, Mumma, to tell me lots and lots of times.

Here’s why: Your ability to distinct your attention, remember instructions, and control impulses come from your executive function skills. But guess who doesn’t have those skills yet? Your champ.

Suppose, on one side is your toddler, whose impulse is to color on the walls simply because it’s fun, and on the other side is his ability to control that impulse because you said he shouldn’t color on the walls. You will be surprised to see your little tot would instead choose not to listen to you. That’s because the two sides of their brain aren’t yet connected. You have to build a  bridge.

What to do: The answer is we have to tell it over and over again. For their brain to learn, they need that repetition. So we need to keep reminding, comforting, and guiding them because Rome was not built in a day. Every single experience is building that bridge.

3. Kid’s mind: I Freak Out About Dogs, the Dark, Bugs, Automatic-Flushing Toilets, and so more!

I know my Momma can’t fathom why I become so calm when I see a huge dog. Well, parents often get anxious when they encounter a horse wanting to put its nose and teeth near their face! Then how do you think toddlers would be exceptional? Fears grow along with their imagination. Your toddler is capable of imagining what might be under the bed or in the toilet. But he doesn’t know enough about the world to understand why an alligator is real, but a monster isn’t.

4. Kid’s mind: I’m not trying to be difficult.

You seem to be frustrated with me right now, but I’m not trying to make you frustrated, Momma. I’m just trying to learn.

Here’s why: Picture this! Your toddler wants to make his cereal for breakfast, then ends up spilling milk all over the place. He says he would like to buckle your car seat himself, and it takes more than an hour. Sometimes you find him getting dressed by himself in short sleeves and shorts, but it’s summertime, and no matter how much you try to convince him, he is not ready to wear a long one.

It’s bedtime, but your daughter keeps asking questions after questions and keeps you awake till late at night. Sometimes when it’s your time to go for an important meeting, you end up realizing that someone has unlaced all your shoelaces. Even though it feels like your toddler is out to get you, that’s not so! She isn’t intentionally trying to make a mess or keep you up all night. Toddlers need lots of life experiences to learn. They need to spill milk all over the counter a few times before they learn to slowly pour it out.

What to do: Whenever you would find yourself feeling annoyed or exasperated at your little ones, you must repeat a mantra to yourself: “Let her learn. Let her learn.” That’s usually enough to remind you to let her make her own mistakes. None of us are perfect. But these little habits will help you back off and let your toddler try on her way more often than you would do.

5. Kid’s mind: I’m not ignoring you.

I’m not getting what you want me to do, Momma!

Here’s why: It’s all about a little twist in psychology. For example, if you are asked not to think of an elephant right now, don’t you think you will definitely picture an elephant? Of Course, you will. And that’s 100 percent normal. Your toddler is no different.

When you ask them not to run in the house, what sticks in the mind of a four year old is simply: Run. Saying “don’t run” puts the focus on what you don’t want to let happen. Pretty much the opposite effect of what they would be going for.

Conclusion

So fear not, dear parents, you are neither crazy nor is your stubborn toddler is a lost case. Your baby is at a fascinating, important development stage of his brain where a potential side effect is grey hair for you. If you really want to sneak peek into your baby’s brain, you need to have loads of patience, caring ears to listen to what they say, and loads of love to offer. Rest everything will fall into its place!

What’s currently going on into a your four-year-old kid’s mind? Have you tried to know? If you already have, we would love to know your side of the story!

How to manage single parenting positively!

Are you a single parent? Do you often feel stressed about how to manage your work as well as raise your tiny tots single-handedly? We know how it is, and that’s completely okay! You have our back! We also know that as a single parent, it’s too easy to doubt your parenting decisions and go a little overboard trying to juggle all of your responsibilities. Without a partner, decision-making comes all on you.The pressure of raising children with the values, skills, and traits comes all your way, which you feel are important. In single parenting, it’s okay to feel some stress — especially during the toddler years — but if you are taking too much stress on a regular basis, it is definitely going to have negative effects on a child. Hence it’s so important to find ways to find time for yourself, mentally and emotionally. Due to the current pandemic, our lives have changed and have become more comfortable for all the single parents as we work from home. This gives us more time with our children, which is a blessing in disguise. Do you want to get a few helpful tips to manage single parenting positively or rather want to make the parenting journey much easier for yourself? Then stay tuned to know more!

1. Grow with Confidence

Managing children single-handedly can be exhausting, challenging, and push you to your limits. But somehow you are managing; you are out there doing ‘the impossible’ things possible. Hats off to you, sir/ madam. This demonstrates how resilient and capable you are. Not to mention that running the house chores without any partner’s help often forces you to learn to do things that you might otherwise not need to—and mastering new skills is never a bad thing!

2. Develop Authentic Community

Are you a single mother and struggling with how to be a good single mother? Then you must follow the super famous African phrase “It takes a village to raise a child” Well, kids raised in single-parent families are often surrounded by a village of supporters, literally. In many cases, extended family members will step up and play a significant role in children’s lives. And single parents who don’t live near family may choose to participate in community groups—including single parent support groups, churches, and synagogues—which champion the entire family. So, what’s there in joining a single parent support group or getting involved in a school? If not this, you can also seek out any civic groups that will help you plug into your local community.

3. Accept Help

We know you can manage single parenting successfully. We also know you have been taking up all the responsibilities without fail, but at times, you too need some help, and some support So we advise you not to be a superhero and do it all by yourself always. There are probably people who care for you and your kids. They genuinely want to help you. Let them know what type of things would be most appreciated. There is no shame in asking for help and accepting help from near and dear ones. You are a good parent by being resourceful and allowing others to give you a much-needed break.

4. Create a schedule

Routines are vital for young minds because knowing what to expect gives them a pretense of control. If the child travels between home or has multiple caregivers or nannies, life can seem extremely chaotic and unpredictable. Thus, establishing a schedule for little champs as much as possible would be the best thing ever. However, having a routine also does not mean things cannot change. It is a default schedule to fall back on when no additional events or activities come up.

5. Organize your finances.

Yes! Money matters a lot for most of us and becomes even more stressful when we raise our kids on a single income. We know how critical it is for single parents to get a hold of their finances. Although money shouldn’t matter as much as time spent with your kids, what if we take a look the other way round? Organizing your finances is more about the intangible goal of reducing your family’s anxiety. The best way to kick start is to look at your existing debts and set specific goals to eliminate them. Create a budget, and take the time to learn about long-term investment options. Take small steps by making whatever payments you can afford towards your debts and gradually increasing the amount you are saving for your kids’ future. As your financial situation improves, you will feel less stressed, and your children will pick up on this. In the end, no matter how much money you make, having your finances organized will enhance your family’s overall well-being. So what are you waiting for? Let’s plan it up then!

6. Set aside time for your kids.

Between work, chores, school, and events, you will often fail to provide your kids time. But believe it or not, spending time together is the most important thing in the world that you can do for your junior.  Quality time should be a part of your daily routine — if not daily, then definitely make it a weekly occurrence. Spending time together — whether talking or doing an activity — helps build your relationship and allows you both to relax.

7. Take time for yourself.

Between all of your responsibilities, it seems impossible to make time for yourself. Remember, when you are healthy and operating at your best, you are giving your best to your job, your relationships, and your “bundle of joy”!

Take a few hours each day to focus on your own well-being and health; you will definitely become more efficient at other tasks. Set 1 hour aside in the morning before your children wake to focus on self. Choose something you enjoy that’s not too mentally taxing. You will definitely notice that such a habit will positively affect your energy level, mood, and ability to stay calm under pressure.

To help you in a better way, we have provided you with a YouTube video by Dr. Sapna Sharma, who has entailed how to manage single parenting. Want to be more specific about it? Please give it a watch!

Let’s do an activity!

How about identifying your strengths as a single parent? All of us have some of the other strengths that help us succeed. Take a moment to complete the chart below to identify your own strengths as a single parent and areas where you would like to improve. After you have completed the chart, tick out the areas in which you believe you need improvement.

My Strengths as a Single Parent

Many struggling single mom and father stories will inspire you to be a good parent and achieve success while raising children alone. They have proven it too. J. K. Rowling wrote her Harry Potter books while raising her daughter alone and has said that she feels especially proud of her years as a single mother. Another example is Lisa Nichols, who transformed her life from a struggle to great success as a transformational speaker and an author while raising her son alone. However, when you shape your life as a single parent, you are the principal role model for your children and stand in a position to inspire them truly. Not to mention that you are the main recipient of their love and affection on a day-to-day basis, and that is super precious. Remember, being a parent is the best job ever. And managing single parenting successfully requires a strong, courageous, and potential mind. And we know you have it already.

Happy parenting!

Are You Aware Of The Car Safety Measures For Children?

Introduction

Children are going to hurt themselves—that is how we picture childhood should be, right? Although bumps and bruises are an inescapable part of childhood. Yet, a light injury is only one step away from a dangerous fracture. Thus, it’s our job as dads and mamas to minimize accidents and keep them safe from preventable injuries. Not just playful cuts, preventative measures should also include while you are traveling with your tots.

Families have unique transportation needs, and we don’t just mean bigger cars. Getting your family around requires a considerable degree of planning. Not to mention, transporting your brood demands a heightened awareness of safety. What can you do to make your child safer during rides in your car? There are many things. However, certain practices can help parents better assure the security of their youngsters. As parents, we spend tons of time researching the best car seats and the latest car seat safety guidelines. But car seat safety for children is only a small part of the big picture when it comes to keeping kids safe in the vehicle. There are lots of hidden hazards to be aware of—some obvious, others not so much. Do you think there are any such child car safety rules in particular? Not at all. So, are you ready to brush up on car safety tips—beyond just making sure your car seat is installed correctly?

Car Safety Measures For Children

Here, we have tapped a few experts who know the child safety ropes and were happy to share bits of advice. Here’s what they had to say:

1. Always Use the Tether

Any idea about what tether is? Well, it’s a strap connected to the seat that attaches the car seat to tether anchors built into the car that prevents the harnessed seat from tipping in a crash. Without it, there is a high chance for children to move farther forward or to the side in a crash, putting them at risk of brain and spinal injuries — or death. So, if your kiddo is in a forward-facing seat with an internal harness, please make sure you are using the seat’s tether.

2. Never Leave your kid back in  a car

This is one of the first and fundamental car seat safety regulations that you have to ensure for kids. That’s because you just cannot afford to let your child be alone inside the car, especially if it is a hot day. That is because, as we all know, during a hot day, the temperature inside the car usually rises rapidly, due to which your child can be in danger. Many parents have ignored this and have suffered as well. Therefore, dear parents, please keep this thing in mind.

3. No snacking in the car.

As silly as it sounds, avoid giving food or drinks to your children in the car. What will happen if your child someday starts choking? Your parental protective instincts might take over and compel you to make not-so-good choices in how and where to pull over to address the issue. This can cause harm to both you and your baby.

4. Don’t allow distractions.

Needless to say, distracted driving is another major reason why most accidents happen. Distractions such as fighting, yelling, and screaming can agitate you and can cause you to lose focus. Talking on the phone, texting, eating, and other distractions can also lead to accidents. If the kids are fighting, please stop them or pull over. If the phone rings or alerts you to a text message, please wait until you safely reach your destination to answer or respond.

5. Choose the proper safety restraint.

There are numerous car seats. The safest, best car seat is the one that will fit securely in your vehicle, that fits your child’s age, height, and weight, and the one that you can operate correctly every time. All you need to have is proper knowledge about what car safety seats to buy that would be the best for your child. So, why not start educating yourself on choosing the appropriate type of car seat for children, the importance of extended rear-facing, and how to get its seat installation checked by a car safety technician? Start by doing a bit of research.

6. Check the Back Seat Before Getting Out

One of the biggest problems parents face these days when it comes to car safety for children is “vehicular hyperthermia”—aka heatstroke that results from unintentionally leaving kids in a hot car. Every parent who drives with kids must have a routine to avoid accidentally leaving them behind. Some parents leave essential belongings like their phone or wallet in the backseat with their baby. In contrast, others use stickers or stuffed animals as a way of jogging their memory before exiting their vehicle. It’s OK to use whichever tactic works for you. What’s not OK? Assuming it’ll never happen to you. When we are in autopilot mode, our brains start creating false memories. Due to which we can have a positive thought that we perhaps had dropped our kid at daycare when we really didn’t.

7. Roll Windows Down Before Backing up

These days, most vehicles have reliable backup cameras, which have been super-helpful in avoiding running over small children while backing up. But there’s no harm in still keeping up the good practice of rolling your windows down and backing up slowly, especially when there are children nearby. This lets you clearly listen to what’s going on around you.

8. Adjustable rear shoulder belt anchors

Adjustable anchors help you place the shoulder belt securely across your child’s chest instead of their face. If a vehicle doesn’t have adjustable anchors, you can take your child along when you test drive to ensure that the rear shoulder belts have safe positioning.

Final Thoughts

Being a parent means that you always have to keep a watchful eye on your children’s safety, including precautionary measures, especially when driving. Vehicle accidents are a leading cause of fatality, so you have to make sure your child is properly secured. We know accidents are unpredictable. No matter how safely you drive, accidents can still occur. So, just make sure you do everything in your reach to protect your children. These precautionary measures are there for a reason – if you stick to them, they can be very effective in protecting children in the event of a car accident.

Well, what measures do you take to keep your child safe in the car? Please take time and share with us any other car safety measures or regulations for children you think we have missed out on. Till then, stay tuned and keep driving, but safely!

5 Ways to Teach Patriotism to Kids on Netaji’s Birthday

Patriotic DIY Activities for Kids

Celebrating Freedom on Netaji’s Birthday

A country with ‘unity in diversity’ is not the only way in which India is remembered. From being ruled by the British for more than a hundred years to achieving Independence, India’s journey from then till now has truly been nothing but remarkable! We must thank and pray for the freedom fighters who fought tooth and nail to make our country free. Could there be a better day to do this than on Netaji’s birthday on 23rd January? We don’t think so! Join your kids in celebrating this day which marks the 125th birthday of one of the most brave and patriotic freedom fighters of India, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

Subhas Chandra Bose was born on 23rd January, 1897 in Cuttack, India. Apart from being a true nationalist, Netaji was also very studious and educated. He passed the Indian Civil Services (ICS) examination and ranked fourth in the country! Then went ahead  to Cambridge to pursue higher education in Fitzwilliam College. He gave one of the most powerful slogans of all times – “Tum Mujhe Khoon Do Mein Tumhe Azadi Dunga!”, which inspired hundreds and thousands of young men and women to join the Armed forces and fight for our nation against the British.

Throughout his journey in freedom struggle, Bose was imprisoned eleven times in eleven different jails. Nevertheless, this did not stop him to continue fighting for our independence. He built the Azad Hind Fauj, India’s first armed force and gave the shout “Jai Hind” which is used till date by our fearless patriots and citizens! Bose was inspired by the teachings of Swami Vivekananda, another great patriot, and believed in the idea of “universal brotherhood”.

Patriotism is at the heart of every Indian. It says so much about a person’s love and respect for their country! Several other nationalists sacrificed their lives to help us live in a country which is free and indominant.

5 Ways to Teach Patriotism to Kids on Netaji’s Birthday

To celebrate Netaji’s birthday, you can start by first explaining the meaning of patriotism and what it meant for the freedom fighters of our country. You can also share these facts about Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and show them his pictures with his iconic hat.

Children love to hear stories, don’t they? Stories are a great way to teach kids about patriotism and much more! Share a few freedom fighters stories with your little one which will teach them important life lessons on Netaji’s birthday. Qualities such as bravery, respect, hope and sheer hard work are essential to excel in life and must be practiced by all of us. Freedom fighter stories of Netaji, Bhagat Singh, Mangal Panday and others will help them understand the notion of these qualities.

Discuss with them about freedom. Kids have their own way of imagining and deriving meaning from various words. How does your child explain the definition of freedom? Is it different from what you think? Share and discuss your thoughts and indulge in a meaningful and fun conversation about freedom! You can also write individual essays on freedom and see who wins!

Pray for our brave soldiers on Netaji’s birthday. It is because of their untiring work and protection at the borders of our nation that we live a peaceful and secured life from the attacks of other countries. Hence you and your child should pray for the well-being of our soldiers and our country!

Watch movies that highlight patriotism and struggle of our freedom fighters. This can be a wonderful way of teaching patriotism to kids as they will be watching a visual of what happens at the border or when a soldier fights for the protection of our country and its citizens. Movies like Border, LOC: Kargil,The Legend of Bhagat Singh, Lagaan, Mangal Panday, etc. can be your picks for the next weekend movie marathon!

Patriotic DIY Activities for Kids

Engage with your little tots in fun and patriotic DIY activities this Netaji’s birthday!

You can paint the tricolour on your palms and click a memorable family picture and frame it on the wall of your living room!

Make the national flag using popsicle sticks and write the names of each family member on their flag!

Decorate your house with tricoloured balloons! Sing the national anthem together with your family and make a video to capture the moment for a lifetime!

Cook a family brunch menu by preparing food and drinks in the same colour as our national flag!

On Netaji’s birthday, draw the iconic cap/hat of Subhas Chandra Bose and wear it all day long! You can also share the steps of making it with your friends.

“Every citizen of India must remember that he is an Indian and he has every right in this country but with certain duties.”

Each one of us are free to live in this country regardless of our background! However, we must remember and respect all our soldiers and nationalists who fought for our freedom. As parents, we must teach our kids about patriotism and the unforgettable contributions of our true national patriots on Netaji’s birthday, 23rd January.

Educational activities for Kids on International education day

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

This quote by Nelson Mandela speaks about everything that education means. On the 3rd year of International Education Day, let us discuss what education truly means and dive into three fun and engaging educational activities for your kids!

In the year 2019, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared January 24th as the International Education Day. This day is also celebrated as the National Girl Child Day in India.

In the last one year, we have all come to terms with the fact that education does not remain confined to the four walls of a classroom. With online learning taking the baton for imparting education on a global level, it’s time we understood and laid emphasis on the very meaning of the term “education.” Education is about celebrating knowledge, learning, innovation and problem-solving in the most creative and practical way possible. For years, we had intertwined the terms ‘literacy’ and ‘education’. It is high time we put a line of division between the two.

Textbooks and other study materials are tools of education and not education itself. Look around yourself. How many things and real-life situations can you think of which taught you something valuable? There sure are plenty! Until and unless you apply your knowledge gained in real-time, you will not be able to understand what that knowledge truly means. According to Swami Vivekananda, the aim of education is “the development of a strong moral character and not merely the feeding of information to the brain.” Indeed, a good education has the power to decide what kind of a person we grow up to be tomorrow.

Taking the theme to “recover and revitalize education”, UNESCO is all set to celebrate the international education day on 24th Januray. COVID-19 hit the global educational sector in ways that require immediate recovery. UNESCO wishes to emphasize the idea of collaborative learning and international unity to power the educational vehicle in full force!

As we progress towards the 3rd year of  celebrating International Education day, here are 3 educational activities for your kids!

Parents of toddlers are always searching for activities that will not only keep their child engaged but will also educate them about things in and out of their school syllabus. 24th January marks the 3rd year of International Day of Education and we have three such educational activities for your little tot that you must try to engage them in!

Fun with Fractions – The best way to teach your kids about fractions is from a tangible example. Draw or print fraction pies (circular in shape) and paste it on paper plates. Once the glue has dried out, cut the fraction portions of the plate using scissors. Ask your child to make different whole plates using different sets of fractions!

A Good Citizen – Educating your child to become a responsible, respectful and kind citizen of the country and society is also an important branch of education. While schools have their own way of teaching children about it, as parents there is something you can do as well! The next time your kid runs out to play in the garden or park with his/her friends, accompany them and introduce a new game! Children will immediately turn to you just by hearing “new game”! Based on the number of children in the park, divide them into two groups. Perform a skit building up different situations. One of the instances can be that a child suddenly slips and falls on the ground while another child walks past him/her. What does the other child do? Does he/she help the one who has fallen down or ignore the incident altogether and continues to walk? Based on their reaction and dialogue, help them understand whether their actions were right or wrong and if so, how can they improve or change it. Perform more such instances and discuss each of them at the end of the play.  

Picture the Alphabets – If you have a child who has just started to learn and spell  alphabets then this activity is a must-try! Give your little one your phone camera and take them to your nearby surroundings. Ask him/her to click pictures of objects for each of the 26 alphabets. When you arrive home, you can check their pictures and reward them accordingly! This way you can evaluate the progress of your kid in a fun way and teach them about their surroundings!

Education is probably the best gift of a lifetime that you can give your children! Do not miss out on any opportunity that has the capacity to educate your little ones in any way possible.

Happy International Education Day!

How to Help Your Angry Child!

Contents

Introduction

6 Reasons Why your Child is Angry

Here’s How you Can Calm your Angry Child!

Pro-tip

Introduction

Kids are full of emotions! They express more through their emotions than words. Since children are in the process of developmental growth, they often find it confusing to choose an emotion which is particular to a situation. For instance, if you say “No” to your toddler, instead of asking why or being sad, he/she might burst out in anger, leaving you bewildered. Are you a parent of an angry child struggling to calm him/her down? Then let us understand about anger in children and how you can help them manage it.

Anger is a healthy and innate expression experienced by all of us, even children. There is no harm in your child expressing anger as it shows that he/she is capable of exhibiting more than one emotion. Anger is usually the result of an unpleasant experience or thought. As adults, we are able to prioritize our emotions and their importance in life. However, children, especially toddlers, are not mature enough to categorize their emotions.

While there is no such thing as good or bad anger, it is important to observe the actions of your angry child. Identifying the reason behind their anger, understanding which reasons can be ignored and which ones require your attention, can help you deal with a child with anger issues. If your angry child throws tantrums and lashes out at petty situations frequently, then you must address this behaviour. There can be multiple underlying reasons to support your angry child’s behavioural patterns. We have listed 6 common ones for you.

6 Reasons Why your Child is Angry

Connectivity Issues

No, we ain’t talking about internet connectivity! The bond between parents and children should remain strong at all times. Children long to stay connected with their parents emotionally and physically to be in a state of belongingness. Lack of connection with parents often leaves toddlers to feel left out, making them angry.

Anxiety and Tiredness

Kids nowadays have a jam-packed schedule to follow even on weekends. This gives them less time to relax and indulge in playful activities. Being in a never-ending loop of school worksheets and related activities, makes them anxious and feel frustrated because of feeling tired all the time. This anxiousness leads to changes in behaviour in your angry child.

A Major Event

Go back in time and think of instances that might have occurred which could be impacting your angry child. There are certain events in life which could alter the behaviour of a person. Something which may seem like a small incident to you, can be a huge change in your child’s life.

Home Environment

If your child lives in an environment that is stressful then it is likely that your child will feel aggressive in and out of the house. Children learn from their elders. If they watch their parents argue in anger frequently then it sure will have an impact on their emotional development.

Disrupted Physical Routine

Don’t you feel off the entire day after skipping your morning coffee or not getting enough sleep? It’s the same for toddlers! They too require ample amounts of sleep and a proper diet to maintain emotional as well as physical balance. A lack of either will make them hangry all day long!

Learning Disability

After you have scanned for these probable reasons for the unusual behaviour of your angry child, you should also look for any underlying symptoms of learning disability in your little one. It is observed that parents whose children have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), often don’t know how to deal with an angry child at home. A toddler’s inability to cope with the academic pace or difficulty in understanding a concept makes him/her feel quite low and irritated for being behind in class. This feeling of being a “bad student” makes them feel angry about themselves and others around them.

“But how do I help an angry child to calm down?”

Here’s How you Can Calm your Angry Child!

Calm Yourself Down

Unless you are patient and calm, your child’s temperament is not going to hit a low. Take deep breaths and approach your child with a not-so-furious face. Toddlers become more aggressive if treated harshly when they are angry.

Talk It Out –

Once your kid has cooled down, sit with him/her and ask if something is bothering them. You will be surprised to know that they had a bunch of things to share that was actually triggering them to become an angry child!

How to teach kids about the Republic day

Introduction:

Patriotism gives us the feeling of purpose, let us care for our fellow people, and makes us more responsible. In most cases, patriotism leaves no ground in mind for selfishness to sprout. As soon as a person starts loving their country, their selfish needs begin to dwindle. When parents make it their goal to teach their children to be patriotic, their little ones forsake pursuing trivial pleasures of life and start to feel a higher calling. Due to this noble commitment and single-mindedness, the probability of them enjoying fulfilling lives immensely increases.

Instilling patriotism right from their young age will also help kids get a sense of belonging and greater purpose. Their volition of putting the country first, and by extension its people, develops, molding them into extraordinary citizens.

And what other day is more suitable for infusing patriotism in children than Republic Day? It is the optimal time to teach our kids the history of our country, the endurance and tenacity of our valiant freedom fighters, and about the resultant independence we all get to enjoy. So let’s get started.

Independence Day and Republic Day:

The foremost thing you have to do is teach your children the difference between these two candy-ridden national holidays. Independence and republic are like apples and oranges. The former was when the British Raj ended in India, and we ousted them on August 15th, 1947. While the latter, celebrated on January 26th, 1950, marks the day when India became a republic by adopting its fresh constitution, which is the largest written constitution in the world, and Dr. Ambedkar is considered to be its head architect.

Significance of Republic Day:

Countries are, by definition, a bordered landmasses composed of people of different shades and colors. And India is one of the most diverse countries in the world. You compare the South to Northeast or East to West, and it won’t surprise you that the cultures are completely different. So how is it justifiable to let a single person rule the entirety of a country that flaunts so much diversity? We have all witnessed the nefarious ways of monarchy or dictatorship; our ancestors even suffered one. When one person or one family rules the country, chances are, the citizens will not lead peaceful and happy lives. Its citizens should rule the country rather than just one family or a class of people.

Taking this into account, on 26th 1950, our forefathers announced that India is a republic; our motto is ‘Government of the people, for the people, by the people.’ Thanks to our collective decision to make India a republic, we have tools like elections and legislative assemblies. It is the observance of the day on which the country unified and agreed to elect its administrators and follow the framework laid down in the constitution. Democracy begins here.

How to teach kids about Republic day?

Have a small get together in your house, not unlike the one you have for your kid’s birthday. Tricolor cakes, food, and drinks will be a bonus.

Make children hoist our flag and give out candies. It was every kid’s dream to hoist a flag during Independence Day or Republic day in school. When you make it happen in your house, with a small pole and flag, it will make the child happy and the event memorable. You can also bundle the flowers inside the flag to make it more exciting.

Parents shall recite a small speech they’ve written on some particular slice of our country’s road to freedom history. A few days before the event, parents can discuss and decide on various topics they feel the children must know to develop patriotism. From the British invasion to the day we finally achieved independence, there is a horde of subjects to pick and talk about.

Parents can further extend their children’s involvement by engaging them in fun activities. They can have a dress-up, and parents can dress their kids up like key players who contributed to India becoming a republic.

Older kids can even be given republic-day related topics and asked to write an essay on it. And on the day, they can read it out loud in front of the gathering.

Decorate foods, drinks, and the whole place where the observance takes place in tricolor.

Information Nuggets:

At a whopping 1,46,385-word long, the Indian constitution is the largest in the world, with 22 parts and 444 articles.

On 26th, 1950, we celebrated our first Republic Day in Rajpath Delhi and held our first ostentatious parade. This parade still occurs every January 26th on Red Fort, where we boast our military strength and cultural heritage in colorful ways.

Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first president of free India, was also the first person to hoist our Indian flag on Republic day.

Each year, presidents of different countries are invited to our Republic day parade. This year, President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil is going to honor us with his presence.

Awards such as Bharat Ratna and Padma Awards are presented. Even awards for bravery are given to both government servants and civilians.

The Republic day is a three-day event, finally coming to an end on 29th, while the tune of Sare Jahan Se Acchcha is played and the flag is brought down.

Conclusion:

One republic day is not even close to enough to teach kids about our country’s colorful heritage or the dozens of leaders who struggled and sacrificed their lives to obtain the freedom we all enjoy today. But it is a start. The stories you teach your children during this day makes him/her more patriotic, differentiate right from wrong, and ultimately, he/she will want to imitate the freedom fighters and do their best to help their fellow humans. This doesn’t just give them incredible personality to tackle life, but also an opportunity to think about climbing the government hierarchy to go good for the people.

Avoid Telling These Things To Your Kids In Parenting

Contents

Introduction

Eight things not to say to your kids

Conclusion

Introduction

Parenting is not an easy job. You have to take care of yourself as well as others. Just like any other human, sometimes we may go overboard with scolding when we are tired or upset. These words, which may appear inconsequential for us, have the power to leave permanent damage to a child’s mind and self-esteem. As children grow up, they become increasingly receptive. What we expose them to is most what they will carry with them. So it’s crucial to always be conscious of what we say to our children to ensure that they are never wounded by our words.

How we speak to our kids influences the way they view the world and themselves. So it makes sense that in parenting we should speak to them in a healthy manner to help them grow, and to make them feel supported and loved. No matter how much you try to do your best to provide the best environment and support your child, you might slip up once or twice. If you want to know how not to traumatize your child and want to know how to deal with it, you have come to the right place. Here are some parenting tips and phrases that you should stay away from when reprimanding your little one.

8 things not to say to your kids

“You did well but you could do it even better”

Firstly, in parenting any compliment that’s followed by “but” should be avoided as it takes away the meaning of the complement itself. Celebrating small joys is a way to motivate children to constantly do well. Using the word “but” will make them feel like they have not really made you proud and didn’t do enough, which will do more harm than good. Try saying: “You did well and I am so proud of you. I am sure you’re going to keep getting better and better!”

Why can’t you be more like your sibling/friend etc.?

Although healthy competition is important for the growth and development of any kid, it might harm their self-esteem in the long run. Be it physical education in schools or academics, comparing siblings can make them associate how much they are loved with their results/scores/behaviors. In case a kid does poorly compared to their sibling, this might even lead to feelings of anger and resentment. Thus, it’s important to include this in things to avoid telling kids.Instead, encourage your child to compare his current results with his past one. This way, he can see how his own efforts affect his life.

You look so fat! or Your face is so ugly!

Humans, in general, are always self-critical of their looks. This is especially true for children aged 5 to 16 who believe their parents’ opinion is the truth. While it might be true that losing weight can be beneficial to your kid’s health, calling them fat to their face can damage their confidence and cause them stress and anxiety. Fat shaming is often the primary cause of eating disorders among kids and teenagers. Instead, it would help if you put emphasis on the benefits of eating healthy and staying fit so they can enjoy life to the fullest. Don’t let it be about looks! Instead, join your kids on a morning walk and use that time to bond!

You are so stupid! or Why are you this dumb?

Similar to the above point, kids tend to absorb comments faster when parents say hurtful things. Thus, repeated comments on their intelligence can cause them to doubt their own skills seriously. Among the things to avoid telling kids insulting their idea is an important one. If you want your kids to develop and nurture their creative potential, it is vital not to call them or their idea stupid. Instead, you can work through the issues they are facing and come up with solutions and as for any mistakes, learning from them is the essential aspect of growing up.

Come’on boys don’t cry

As parents, we should understand that emotions are not the forte of any one gender. Words like man up or boys don’t cry imply that emotions are a vulnerability and strength is a matter of gender. In parenting, we should know that whether it’s a boy or a girl, any kid when hurt will react the same way: by crying. Avoid using sentences that associate gender with any particular characteristic. In the case of other adults, gently ask them to refrain from saying similar stereotypical words.

After all I did for you! or I sacrificed so much for you!

Just like everyone else, we parents also have times when we are upset and angry. But in parenting it’s important to remember that guilt-tripping a child is not going to solve anything; rather, it will only create future issues. Sometimes kids do things that waste our efforts, but blaming them for it is counterproductive. Parents shouldn’t make kids feel like they owe them anything for raising them. Instead, sit down and have a proper discussion with your kid regarding the issue and explain to them how their behavior affects you.

You better listen/do this or else…

Vague threats of violence and punishment might make your kid listen to you for the meantime, but it will soon wear off. Furthermore, threatening is not a good way to build up connection and trust with your kid in parenting! Instead, take some time to explain to them the WHY behind your requests and the consequences of their actions. Not only will this make your child open up more, but it is also more likely that they will actually listen to your requests.

It’s not a big deal or when I was your age…

In parenting, some events that might seem insignificant to us have much importance when it comes to our kids. Thus, it’s natural that their emotional response might be different from ours. Instead of dismissing it as not a big deal, parents should teach them how to deal with failure or disappointment. Similarly, when I was your age falls flat on the ears for children since society as a whole has progressed a lot since that time. To make an experience relatable, parents can word the situation to fit similar events as their kids.

No one wants a kid like you!

What is the most psychologically damaging thing you can say while parenting a child? Among the things to avoid telling kids, perhaps the most hurtful one is telling them they are not wanted. It’s common for people to get angry and tell their kids that no one wants a child like you. But as parents, we have to understand that his outer world and associations influence a child’s behavior. Thus, whenever your kid is misbehaving, try to look for the influences or reasons that might cause them to act that way.

Conclusion

As a child, the person we listen to most is our parents. While you are parenting a child, he is mostly  taught to listen to you as you know what’s best for him. Other than the ones discussed above, some other things to avoid telling kids include marital troubles or discussions about their relatives that are not appropriate for their age.

No matter what you say to your little one, it’s important to think before you speak. Understand that those curious minds are naturally curious and active, and speaking to them candidly about any problems they may have is always your best bet. So, as parents, it’s our duty to create an environment that is nurturing for both their mind and soul. If you could go back in time, what would you ask your parents not to say to your younger self? Or is there anything you feel should never be said to children while parenting? What do you think about our parenting guide? Let us know in the comments below

Pros and Cons of Bottle Feeding

Breastfeeding vs Bottle Feeding

For a long time, a never-ending debate between bottle feeding and breastfeeding is going on. Many people say that breastfeeding is the best way because you are giving the best nutrition to your baby when you breastfeed. However, bottle feeding has also its benefits and advantages. So, there is no comparison in choosing the feed that best suits your baby. Being a mother, breastfeeding should be the first choice but under some conditions, they may be unable to breastfeed their babies. Some reasons for this include breast infection, lack of milk supply, infant’s incapability to suck from mother’s breast, lifestyle, or work circumstances. In the breast milk vs. formula nutrition chart, it has been found that most women prefer breastfeeding over bottle feeding.

In this article, we will discuss breastfeeding and bottle-feeding so that a mother can make the right decision on how to feed their babies. So, without any further explanation, let’s get into the topic.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding means feeding a baby directly from the mother’s breast. Due to its various advantages on both the mother’s and her baby’s health, it is considered one of the best ways to feed an infant. Let’s discuss how?

Pros and Cons of Breastfeeding

Provide ultimate nutrition to the babies –

Breast milk provides all the required nutrition to your baby, especially colostrum (in the first few days after delivery). That’s why breast milk is often called “liquid gold”.

Strengthens the baby’s immune system –

Breast milk can help you in boosting your baby’s immune system.

Lowers the risk of serious diseases in babies –

It protects your baby from serious diseases, like asthma, allergies, diabetes, and obesity.

Helps bond mother with her baby –

Breastfeeding is an excellent way to cherish the special bond with your baby.

Lowers the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in mothers –

Breastfeeding can reduce the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in mothers because it can delay the ovulation period of the women thus protecting them from cancer.

Prevents postpartum or postnatal depression –

It has been proven that mothers who breastfed their babies had almost negligible chances of suffering from postnatal depression.

Apart from the above advantages, there are some disadvantages as well:

Might cause discomfort and pain –

During the initial month of breastfeeding, some nursing mothers did complain of having discomfort and sore nipples.

Mothers have to follow a strict lifestyle –

When you are breastfeeding your baby, you have to follow a strict healthy lifestyle and you have to make yourself available for your babies always, thus, if you are planning to breastfeed your baby then you have to make a lot of changes in your diet and lifestyle.

Bottle Feeding

Bottle-feeding means feeding a readymade infant formula to your baby. Most of the women prefer formula-feeding because of the low milk supply and they can use it as a backup for breast milk.

Pros and Cons of Bottle Feeding

Anyone can feed the infant-

With this bottle-feeding process, anyone can feed the infant with the feeding bottle any time of the day or night.

Provide more gaps in feeding-

Breast Milk contains proteins like whey and casein which are very easy to digest whereas formula contains more casein, which is difficult to digest. Therefore,  when it comes to breastfeeding and formula feeding schedule, it has been found that baby formula takes a longer time to digest when compared with breastfeeding, thus, provides more gaps in between the feeding process.

Help the mother take time out for herself and her work-

A mother who has shifted from breastfeeding to bottle feed can also do all her household work without thinking of the frequent feeding gaps.  Bottle-feeding a baby will also help a mother in managing their other responsibilities as well.

Best way to track your baby’s appetite –

Bottle-feeding allows you to track how much your baby is consuming and if his or her appetite is healthy or not. Hence, if you want your baby’s intake to be monitored, then bottle-feeding is for you

Resume to your normal life soon-

If you bottle-feed your baby, then you can resume your normal life sooner as compared to breastfeed because, in the latter, the mother has to watch her diet, medications, clothes, and fluid intake.

Highly convenient for new mothers –

When you Bottle-feed your baby, you don’t have to worry about what you eat, drink, or wear. You do not have to stay around; you can concentrate on other things as well.

There are also various disadvantages of formula feeding, read it here!

Causes constipation in babies –

As formula feed contains protein casein which takes more time to digest hence, babies who take formula have higher chances of developing constipation which is one of the negative effects of formula feeding.

Make proper proportion-

You have to make a proper proportion of formula mixed with the right quantity of water every time.

Doesn’t contains Antibodies-

Formulas do not contain antibodies that help in preventing the baby from getting sick.

Super expensive-

Infant formulas are very expensive so it’s difficult to afford them all the time.

Conclusion

Breastfeeding or bottle-feeding has always been a hot topic for debates among pregnant and nursing mothers. Whether you want to breastfeed or bottle-feed, it depends on your overall medical condition because some women are bound to bottle feed their babies as their bodies do not produce enough breast milk. So, whatever the reason might be, breast milk is still considered the best food for babies below one year. Deciding how you will feed your baby can be a hard decision. But, whether you decide to breastfeeding or bottle-feeding your baby, always remember to ask your child’s paediatrician and based on their recommendations, choose the best method that suits your lifestyle and conditions.
