I wonder whether how my mom managed when I was a kid????

Its surprising yet interesting to know that now I am blessed with two little angels who keep on testing my patience and understanding. Yet, my experience with these two little notorious toddlers have added on to my achievements. I would like to share some of the do's and dont's that can be followed while dealing with kids:
  • Do allow kids to follow their apetite while deciding how much to eat

  • Kids feel colder a bit more than us in winter days. So if you have worn one wollen trouser, they need two. Once they are grown up they themselves will inform you whether they are feeling cold or not.

  • Do encourage your child on his/her first drawing, even if they have used your nicely painted walls for that purpose. This would later on motivate them to use their creativity.

  • Do use moral stories as they are classic example to inculcate good habits amongst them.

  • Do make them feel that they are the most special creatures in your life but do not over pamper them, they need to take independent decisions at later stage of their life.

  • Do not fight or argue with anyone infront of your kids, as they are the best messengers of confidential talks to your neighbourhood.

  •  Do not put on cartoon channels while the kids are eating. They may over eat (and may vomit) while they get indulged in watching television and this might even lead to a conditioning or a habit development to eat only when the television is on.   

  •  Do not panic and start medicating when your child develops cold and cough. There are so many home made techniques like giving a teaspoon of turmeric in a sugared glass of hot milk which can provide instant relief to them

  • Do not compare the kid with his/her sibling, as no two individuals are same.

  • Do not badly scold your child infront of his/her peer group (friends), as an infant starts understanding emotions ever since it is of 2-3months old and scolding them may create an inferiority complex within them.

I would like to invite all experienced mothers to add on to these do's and dont's, as now I understand how great it is to be a mother and may be your experiences might be different or opposite to what I have experienced. Share it with me and the world as you are the unique parent for your kid and that makes a difference................
