kids

The world is so competitive for kids these days. The competition is not amongst the kids, rather I feel the competition amongst mothers. How many activities does your child goes to after school depicts whether you are a concerned mother? Does it really? Well I got into the race as well. Madly I was searching on internet for the activities my kids should join. Asking all the parents in school about different activities available in my area. I think that’s how mothers go mad about their first child. I was under immense pressure that my child should not be left out from any opportunity. Being a good mother it is my duty to provide all the opportunities to my child. So a mother of a friend of my daughter suggested for Taekwondo classes. A mother in me thinks self-defence is very important for girl child. So I enrolled her for the same. Then living in a country surrounded by water it’s important for the child to learn to swim. Then my daughter loves to dance so I should be looking fo...

Each mother dreams that her kids are the best in the world. All mother’s day and night work to hone the best out of their kids.

How excited my little one was today for his interview at the 'BIG SCHOOL". Transition from the Pre-school to a primary school is definitely a big step for all the kids. But I guess it’s more of a challenge for me as a mother. My son seems all set to get into his new role. He is excited. He says “I am a big boy".

What is their opinion about the child going to school? Will the child feel actually pressurised by the system of ‘BIG’ school education?

And the most important of all “Will I be ready next year to send him to school or will I face the same anxiety?” The questions in my mind are endless and so are the opinions.
