When do mothers get time for a hot oil massage, a pedicure, a nice cup of hot coffee to sit down with or a chat with a comforting friend? Sometimes a stroll to a nearby grocery can be refreshing after days together of mundane home managing. Though self-care may sound tangible, it has an emotional attribute too.  

Mothers try a balancing act but always put their needs aside to cater to other family members. While bringing up a baby, new moms constantly get parental burnouts. New mums often forget the fact they should need to be nourished, as does the baby. So, it’s important to nudge them about eating and sleeping well. But, with limited time at their fingertips how can new moms prioritize their needs? 

“Mummaaa.. I’m bored.. I’ve nothing to do.. Do you want to play cards?”

“Daddddyyyy.. Shall we go out and play something? Or we can also play cards!”

Helping kids fight boredom is undeniably the toughest job for parents. And, in the new normal, with no school and outdoor games, the toughness level of this job has just scaled up. But when kids get bored some really good stuff happens because then they start daydreaming. They start imagining the world they would like, or come up with new and exciting ideas- like a world made up of chocolates or gingerbread! In short, your munchkins will become more creative when they’re bored.
