Are We Fit To Be Parents ???



When I first saw this picture, the first thought that hit me was who has left this baby to sleep on top of the TV. Obviously who so ever has left him there, be it a negligent nanny or a baby sitter, or a drunk parent, the prime question pops,  is it not the responsibility of the parents to ensure the well-being of their offspring ???

Then comes a broader question. Do we really need any education for rearing our children ??? Biologically, off course not. Mother nature takes care of it.

But to raise a child with care and in an educative way, we seem to need guidance. Animals and birds also tend to their off-springs for some time before allowing them to fly away on their own. So, as a superior product of nature, it is our duty to ensure more care and show the correct path to the generations to come.

Do we need to know the child rearing tactics in a school or classroom ?
How to satisfy a child's inquisitiveness ?
If we can do all that, then and only then, we are fit to be a parent. Isn't it . . .

Thing of Beauty is A Joy Forever !

" A thing of beauty is a joy forever "

 - same can be said about being a parent.

Being a parent is a joy that can be understood only when you are actually up to it.

Kids are not always going to be kids. Before you blink, they would have flown to their destinations.

Time you spend with them teaching small things of life, might be best when they will look back after 20 years.  My li'l genius turns every lesson into fun by adding new aspects into it.  Like the other day while writing word " comfortable" She asked me "for what ???".

I was mum, no answer to offer, " Comfortable for what ? " I din't get that ???

After getting a box of chocolates finally, she brightened me that comfortable is broken into "Come For Table". What Fun !!!

Isn't it ??? Without realizing she had unfolded a very good way to learn new words,  by relating them to other things. Adding meaning to words, relating to them circumstances or people.

When the learning is fun, it goes deep into memory !!

Happy Learning !
