​What to do if your child keeps falling sick?
Think about it logically and work on these 3 areas - 1. How to prevent infection • Wash hands frequently. Do not use soaps that kill germs. • Detect, prevent and treat allergies. • Keep the house clean. But DO NOT use disinfectants. • Breastfeed for as long as possible. • Take age appropriate vaccines 2. How to build immunity to fight infection • Focus on diet – No junk food. Eat a variety of freshly cooked food. • Sleep – at least 10 hours in the night • Stress – Stop scolding • Sunlight – spend more time outdoors • Exercise – at least 2 hours of physical play every day • Water – drink lots of water 3. How to promote rapid recovery from infection • Medicines -take them exactly the way your doctor has prescribed. • Rest – prioritize it over everything else • Right food – give easily digestible healthy food without force feeding • Remove germs – focus on steam inhalation and other measures to wash out the germs There are no shortcuts when it comes to building immunity. Immunity is built by living life the right way. Type your question about immunity in the comments and I will answer it in future reels. Share this so that other parents do this and their children fall sick less often too. This will result in your child being less sick too.
I just want my child to have GOOD VALUES
Most parents who consult with me only want their children to be good, honest, kind and so on. When they find that their children have qualities like intelligence, athletic talents, artistic talents and so on but lack good values, they are very disappointed. Yes – it happens. Because it is much easier to build skills than to instill values. Values cannot be taught. They are imbibed by your child from you. And this happens when you are completely unaware that you are passing on values. Most people imagine that children start learning values when they start understanding language. But that is not true. Your baby starts imbibing values as soon as they are born. These are 3 mistakes that you must avoid while parenting if you want to pass on good values to your child 1. Threatening “If you do this – I will do that†This teaches BULLYING 2. Bribing “If you do this – I will give you that†This teaches MANIPULATION 3. Tricking “Go to school – teacher will give you a chocolate†This teaches LYING Share this now with everyone who has advised you to do this kind of parenting and now blames you for your child’s bad behaviour Shortcuts don’t work in parenting. Don’t keep parenting the way you see others parenting. Start Parenting with Neuroscience.

But what should you do during that time? Here are 5 different ways you can plan your time with your child to ensure that you build their self-esteem 1. Testimonial time Play a game where each person in the family lists out 3 things they like about the other members of the family. Your child will be pleasantly surprised to see what you like about her/him and so will you. Feeling liked for who they are raises your child’s self-esteem 2. Tracking time Write a Gratitude Journal List out 3 good things that happened that day. Focusing on what is good instead of what is bad raises your child’s self-esteem. 3. Teamwork time Start doing a tough project with your child. Invest time doing something small every day to reach the goal you have set. Working together and achieving something seemingly impossible through consistent effort raises your child’s self-esteem 4. Trekking time A trek is always about overcoming unexpected physical and mental challenges Overcoming challenges builds self-esteem 5. Trust time Trust your child to do something like paying the electricity bill independently Being trusted with responsibility builds self-esteem.
