Why You Never Feel Like You Have Enough??

“You can have anything you want in your life; you just can’t have everything you want!!” Not a long time ago, Indian middle-class households survived on the basic rule of using everything to the fullest!!

The Teenage Brain: What’s going on in there??

“The scariest part of raising teenagers is remembering the stupid things you did as a teenager.” From invading my privacy to guarding his own, from asking for my opinion on silly things to declaring, “oh Mom, you won’t understand…!!”, from being perfectly predictable to throwing completely unpredictable tantrums……. You guessed it right!! I am mom…

आपल्या मुलांना आपण काय द्यायला हवे??

“मी नेहमीच शिकायला तयार असतो, पण मला नेहमी शिकवलेले आवडत नाही.” विस्टन चर्चिल आजकाल मूल जन्माला येतं त्या क्षणापासूनच खरं तर आपण त्याला/तिला काही न काही देत असतो. अर्थात, आपल्या मुलांना सुरक्षित वातावरण, चांगल्या सोयीसुविधा, चांगलं शिक्षण या गोष्टी देणे हे आपलं कर्तव्यच असतं आणि हे कर्तव्य प्रत्येक पालक आपापल्या परीने पूर्ण करत असतो. किंबहुना…
