No, I’m not referring to the missed calls on your mobile phone. I’m referring to something more serious. We’ll find out soon! :) If you have followed the last two editions of the newsletter, you will recollect that we delved on “The Why” (link) and “
Hi Sriram(machan)I was in search of a blog or YouTube channel to know various parameters in upbringing of a child. People in tirupathy don't go to the temple often but people from across the globe see it as very precious thing. Similarly even though I knew that you have been posting newsletters I didn't take much time to read it (excuse "was not so active in linkedin"). You are doing a great job. I loved the caption and the entire post. These days kids are spending more time with the smartphones than with their parents. Hope a lot of parents and yet to be parents read this newsletter.
Thank you for bringing out interesting points/observations. Few action items from my end to implement and also to correct. Thanks for bringing them up. My Son is 5yrs old and my daughter 2yrs 8 months . The challenge most of the times is when both want your attention.
Good one Sriram, i feel that facial expression gets unnoticed by parents many times. One can actually take a clue if the child is interested or not. Thats an interesting point.
Daily rituals -very important. When we grew up, we as a family used to have lunch, dinner together. Sometimes Father was not present but Sunday is one day where we used to all eat together. This is one ritual that i think as a family all must create irrespective of no of generations we come across. Dining together makes a happy family and children tend to keep bonding together.
This was a major learning I got to know when my daughter started speaking . Unlike our generation, kids nowdays dont have freedom to roam around with friends , nor they have siblings to talk and share things about what they see. So parents play a huge part in giving them full attention amidst all the chaos due to office ,gadgets etc . So we make it a point to join her during "pretend & play" time to know what happened in school ,reading bed time stories etc .
Challenge is answering the complicated questions in a simpler terms and at the sametime in a sensible way. For example "Where is god? Have you seen god ? "
" Where does baby come from ?"
" Why body parts are different for male and female"
