Parenting tips: its ok if your kid is not the best at everything

As a parent, one of the hardest things is seeing your child struggle. Whether they are struggling in school, with friends, or with something they are passionate about, it can be tough to watch.

One of the struggles I have faced as a parent is with my kids in play school. It can be hard to see them not succeeding in something or not being the best at something.

As a parent, you want to see your child excel and be the best they can be. It is important to remember, though, that not every child is going to be the best at everything. They will have their own unique talents and abilities. And that is okay!

It is also important to remember that struggles are a part of life. They help us grow and learn. If we never struggled, we would never know how strong we are.

So, if your child is struggling in play school, try to be supportive. Encourage them to keep trying and remind them that everyone struggles at times. Help them to see that their struggles are not a bad thing, but a chance to learn and grow.

Parenting Tips: How to choose a school for your kid?

As a parent, one of the biggest struggles is finding the right play school for their kids. With so many options available, it can be hard to know which one is the best fit. There are a few things to consider when choosing a play school, such as the educational philosophy, the facilities, and the staff.

  • The educational philosophy is important to consider because it will impact the way your child learns. If you want your child to be in a more traditional learning environment, then you should look for a play school that follows that philosophy. However, if you are open to a more creative and progressive approach, then you can look for a school that follows that philosophy.
  • The facilities of the play school are also important to consider. You want to make sure that the school has adequate space for the children to play and that the facilities are clean and safe.
  • The staff of the play school is also important to consider. You want to make sure that the staff is experienced and that they are good at working with children. You also want to make sure that the staff is supportive and that they are willing to help you with any concerns that you may have.

...then you are alive

if you have eagerness in your heart, 
then you are alive.

If your eyes are filled with dreams,
then you are alive.

Learn to be free like the wind.
Learn to flow freely like the river.
Embrace every moments with open arms.
See a new horizon every time with your eyes.

If you carry surprises in your eyes,
then you are alive.

if you have eagerness in your heart, 
then you are alive.

Nabakalebara-Eid-Rathajatra: A divine intervention

June 18, 2015, 'Nabakalebara-Rathajatra-Eid' on one day: Is it just a coincidence, or a wake up call for the ignorant we. You decide, who am I ?

We, the arrogant so called knowledgeable people debarred 'Salabega'' in the past to meet Jagannath, he came out and and made everything stand still for the devotee without cast/race. The outcome - "We learnt Nothing"

Its still the same and we still restrict the almighty and argue to put him in the Hindu clad and insult his very name 'Jagata ra Natha (God of the World) - Jagannath'. We are testing his patience or the almighty has still faith on his beautiful (?) creation - only he knows, who am I ?

Nabakalebara - The almighty is willingly waking us up to see the reality, the truth, - nothing is constant. Everything has an end, but the Brahma (divine soul). Soul, that neither starts nor ends, neither a Hindu nor a Muslim or anything...what we are learning?- You better know, who am I ?

Eid: An occasions for showing gratitude to God and remembering Him after month long daytime fast. What we are doing, you better know, who am I?

Rathajatra - The very meaning (as I think) is the irresistible force of the almighty that crushes all ignorance on the way to make us reach the final destination. What we are doing, you better know, who am I?

Still, he has not lost his faith on us, and meticulously arranged the planetary motion to make us realize God is one. Nabakalebara-Eid-Rathajatra are the same with varied interpretation and its time to know the truth and embrace all. Is it a deliberate attempt to send us one more symbol, he only knows, who am I?

Dear almighty Jagannath, Wish you a very Happy Eid.



Note: Nabakalebara is a Hindu ritual performed at Jagannath temple, Odisha, India that symbolizes life is a circle of event, death is inevitable if there is life and vice-versa.

I pray God to repeat it again


Morning
The alarm disturbs
I wake up
She pushes me for taking bath
Forces me for breakfast, chawanprash, milk and a long menu
Clock approaches 9
She gives me wallet, watch, spectacles, sprout box and bike key
Wishes me all the best for office
Waves a lovely good bye
Reminds me for helmet
Looks at my exit from the balcony.
Afternoon
Opens the door before I ring the bell
Makes me wash my hands
Serves lunch
I sense her happiness in her to-n-fro from kitchen
I sense her happiness in her drops of sweat on forehead
Makes me eat some extra
Eats at the same plate…idiot
Evening
Serves me glucose
Makes me pray and bow at Gods
Googles for snacks dish and put her heart on cooking
Asks me in child like innocence, "Is it ok at least"?
I fake anger
She accepts, and I sense her love in it
Night
Scolds my serials for spoiling my studies
Bakes roti (bread)
Makes me eat early
Forces me to drink the ill smelling milk…yuk
Orders me-don’t stick to the computer
Cleans the kitchen
Makes sure the home is locked
Loves me
and I thank God for the wonderful today, and pray to repeat it again
She is, who she is – the better half
