Being a mother is a blessing but not an easy task. Before getting pregnant we (me and my husband) both were mentally prepared to have a baby and we were very sure that we can bring up the new life in a perfect way.  Hence, time flew and the delivery date came nearer and one night I gave birth to our little bundle of joy. When I held him in my arms for the first time, I promised my little soul to protect him from all evil eyes and problems. When a new life comes to this world, it isn't a smooth journey for him/her at all. It has been a couple of years and my son is a toddler now, but still I feel the same protectiveness for him. Due to drastic weather changes, kids and babies often fall sick. Fever, cold, cough is very common during these days because of high pollution. When the baby is sick and cranky, a mother can't sit calm. Cold and cough always bring nasal congestion along and it is really irritating for my baby and me! Blocked nose creates difficulties in ...

Raising a child on your own brings with it many challenges, and without your partner to spread the load, everything falls on you, and more often that not, you also have a career to revive. The first year is basically a question of providing, and once your child reaches toddler status, things start to warm up.

Hello Daddy, Hope you are doing well.  I know you are in office now, but I said mom to write a letter for you because I am very small to write such big words or sentences . I know MOM can express my love, my words in a better way to you. Dad, you always say that I am the biggest blessing of GOD to both (mom and you) of you but today I want to say that I am so blessed to have both of you as my parents. Mom is great and you too know that but today I want to express my feelings regarding you only. I haven't seen any of the super heros in real yet but I can proudly say you are my biggest hero and you will be my inspiration till the last breath of my life. The day I was born, you were the one who was with my mom at the hospital and you were so afraid to hold me on your lap because I was so tiny. You remember, my first word when I was a very small baby (around 9 months) and it was DAAADAA . Mom was a bit sad that I didn't speak Maamaa first but I know it happens. You are t...

Parents are funny. Some of them are very lax in their parenting styles. But then, there are those that are considered helicopter parents, or as we used to call them overprotective parents.  These are the ones that will not let their children out of their site for the foreseeable future and if they could carry them forever they would. Let’s introduce Jess. She is one of those parents. First time mom, 30 years old, and working as a stay at home parent while her husband works long hours. She has all the time in the world to be with her little one Jack. But she doesn’t let him out of her sight. When pregnant she read what seemed to be every single parenting book out there, perused all the parenting websites about keeping the baby healthy, new techniques, safety and hidden dangers for children, and cooking her own baby food (of course organic). Jess can be considered an overprotective parent for a few reasons.  Jack is three years old and a rambunctious one at that, fu...
