“The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.” Maria Montessori

Sometimes we see children cry out of fear. It simply shows their lack of confidence. When children are guided and encouraged to explore the unknown, they overcome their fear and grow into confident individuals. As parents and teachers, our efforts should be on the larger picture. Only a confident child will be able to take risks and overcome challenges. The world can be a tough place to live in, so here are some tips to improve your child’s self-confidence. 

Do you agree that feeding kids is the toughest part of parenting? Even after combining all the blood, sweat, and tears, there’s always some part of the food left on the plate.

Although, kids don’t understand the importance of healthy eating, as a parent it’s our duty to ensure that our kids eat regularly and healthily to perform and grow effectively. 

In these normal but not-so-normal times, the challenge of keeping families, homeschool education and office work on track could seem daunting. While we as parents can catch hold of ourselves and our emotions; it’s not the same for the kids. With no schools, homework, lack of playtime and huge amounts of free time, kids can get irritated, confused or sad about having all that energy and nowhere to use it.

With the entire nation under lockdown, the challenges for both parents and kids have now added up. The kids are stuck to mobile, iPad, TV or phone all the time and the parents are trying to make the ends meet by handling work, meals, kids and other numerous activities.

The times are not normal but this too shall pass! But, on the bright side now you can hug and kiss your munchkins any time you wish. No classes, school, outdoor activities- they’re with you for the entire time.
