If he were you, he would never lose interest in coloring the diagram before it was ready to be displayed on the fridge. But he wasn’t you! Even when he was your son. What reasons make him lose interest in the smallest duration tasks even when they were his favorite ones? Is it a generational issue? It might be, given our new generation has a shorter attention span (thanks to […]
Will my child ever learn to behave when his peers are around? Why my son never cleans his room without being told to do so? How my teen will survive his high-school studies without me running after him? And above all, ‘will my kid ever grow up to handle his affairs on his own?’ These are some of the questions we ask ourselves every day, week or month. The intensity […]
I have always been a high maintenance person. In fact, my symptoms are so severe that people from my inner circle used to tell me that I need to give myself a break. I didn’t spend much of my time in cleaning and perfecting my residence area, but I didn’t create much mess and didn’t like it when someone else created a mess there. And I always made a point […]
Seriously! How do people really succeed in potty training their children? It’s such a headache, isn’t it? All in all, we cannot take our child’s place and move their bowel.

But I have to break it to you that all your beliefs are grounded in perceptions which have nothing to do with reality. Your talks are clueless. And your dreams are fantasies never going to make their way into the real world. You […]
‘So you were the bitch, again?’ ‘How could you yell at your kid for the third time in a day even after promising yourself you won’t?’ ‘No mother is as harsh as you are. Seriously you didn’t deserve the privilege of mothering such an adorable kid.’ This is my inner critique shouting at me every time I fail to remain calm at apparently innocent actions of my child. Do your […]
And it was the final nail in the coffin. After all these trainings and encouragements about taking that damn slide, the young lad was unable to go down that lovely body. You pointed to other kids who were having the slide. How happy they were! You made him lose hold on the sides. And he went down, enjoying. And next time it was an issue, again. You even threatened him […]
