Pen Parenting And People

Let's not get into a discussion if a full-time working mom is right or a stay-at-home mom is justified. At the end of the day a reality that hits you hard on face is that you are a Mom !!! And you are blessed with an innate ability to juggle and multitask. And if I had to be generic about anyone who wants to freelance,it for  sure is a different ball game altogether. But if at all you have plans to be a Mom who tries to get the best of both worlds, do read this. A reality check, if you have plans to be a freelancer/mompreneur/entrepreneur/work from home professional/solopreneur etc. Why Freelance Mode? And why isn't it as easy as it sounds? Best take away is that it gives a flexibility that no other mode gives,but the challenges include irregular payouts, hustle for pitching for projects, rejections on your face and more than that,if at all you establish then it takes a while for people to stop judging that its not as easy as it looks and not as comfortable as it see...

I can breathe easy as this is going to be my final post on the Parenting Series. From the 1st post in this series to the second and this final one,this has been very close to my heart. As a mother of two, I wish to re-read these pages again and keep working on my parenting skills. We are not really here to prove anything to anyone but introspect ourselves to try and bring up a generation that is healthy both physically and mentally. 1. Motivate your child to be Sensitive    Young children can be bullies or be bullied. Be objective as a parent and encourage to stand up for themselves or discourage them when you see a dented attitude. Don't tell children to not cry or weep when they have an emotional moment, because they don't have to tackle situations as we adults do .  It is terribly upsetting for kids to see parents arguing. Refrain from fighting before them and adopt self control and unleash only when the children are not around. ( Let's face it that ev...

Appreciate everyone who followed, read, appreciated and commented on Part:1 of this post. Too much of gyan even children repel, then how can we expect our adult fraternity to digest. So, after two doses of Digene I am penning down the remaining pondering points. 1. Motivate your child to be independent Discourage comparisons and don't force your child to behave in a certain way to gain popularity. Do not sit with your child while doing homework. Help him/her only when there is a gap in understanding.  Resist yourself from hand holding for every task. This will instill confidence in the child. Respect your child's decisions and provide an ambiance to try different things. This will only expand the child's faculties. Do not interfere in sibling relationship, unless absolutely you need to. They should develop their own independent equation and not encouraged to tattle. 2. Motivate your child to be Hard Working Children tend to say " I Can...

  # BoringPostAlert Okay so I intend sharing some insightful and "worth a ponder " points for all of us. Why is it that child raising has become more like a complicated process that needs sessions and discussions ,unlike our parents who just raised us without so much taboo or talk.On one hand we are hyper protective parents or are the children hyper sensitive? ? Maybe its both . We as parents are trying to be trophy parents validating our parenting and the children on the other, with so much awareness are complicated from the beginning. I have tried here to list some motivational aspects that we can adopt as a fraternity. 1. Try to raise a confident child  Stories play a major role in molding a child's psyche. Inspirational stories motivate a child and gives a chance to explore the hero within all of us. Group activities encourage and influence a child to adapt and adjust. Don't ask for results, instead insist on accounting the experiences from activiti...
