​5 TRICKS to make your baby LOVE VEGETABLES
1. Eat lots of vegetables when BREASTFEEDING The taste of food that you eat during breastfeeding is flavours your breastmilk Your baby loves your breastmilk and will fall in love with food that they tasted through breastmilk 2. Start with SWEET VEGETABLES like carrots and peas Babies are supposed to dislike foods that have a pungent or bitter taste. Most poisonous foods taste bitter or pungent and so disliking these tastes ensures that they do not accidentally eat something poisonous. Sweet foods are rich in calories and since babies need a lot of calories – their brain tells them to like sweet vegetables. 3. Offer small servings of vegetables every day Allow them to get familiar with the taste 4. Offer vegetables at snack time instead of meals Babies are very hungry at meal times and need food that fills them up quickly and gives them lots of instant energy to play. They get impatient with vegetables that are primarily fibre and water. Because they take too long to eat and give barely any energy. It is better to serve vegetables as snacks when they are not so hungry 5. Offer vegetables as finger foods Babies love anything that they can pick up and put in their mouth Offer vegetables as sticks that they can chew on. This will make them love vegetables. Be careful to avoid choking. Does your baby love vegetables? Let me know in comments.
If your child does not say SORRY
They are not STUBBORN They just need you to use the neuroscience based 3R formula. Use it and stop people from criticizing your child The 3R formula 1.The first R is RESPECTFUL Be RESPECTFUL when you explain their mistake Do not shout and scold If you shout – your child feels like you are attacking them That makes you the villain They become the victim. Since victims don’t say sorry. So your child does not say sorry They just start blaming you for shouting Speak softly and respectfully to your child. When they are calm and safe – they will see their mistake and find a way to fix it 2. The 2nd R is REPAIR Allow REPAIR As soon as your child says sorry - immediately forgive and forget If your child thinks you will remember the mistake and keep poking them about it later Why will they say sorry? 3. The third R is RELATIONSHIP Build your RELATIONSHIP with your child When you make a mistake say sorry If you say sorry – you get back sorry.

Financial Influencers are telling everyone that it is better to rent a house than to buy it.
But if you are a PARENT – there are 5 REASONS WHY YOU MUST BUY A HOUSE Reason 1 – You may not be able to rent a house NEAR YOUR CHILD’S SCHOOL Living near your child’s school saves your child’s time and energy when they don’t have to travel long distances. This means they are able to PLAY, RELAX and STUDY better. Reason 2 – You can comfortably have PETS If your child wants a pet - and you are not getting a pet because you may not find a house where the owner allows to have pets – then you must buy a house. A pet adds to your child’s life as it REDUCES STRESS, TEACHES EMPATHY and RESPONSIBILITY Reason 3 – Every rented house may not have the amenities you need to follow the lifestyle you want to. Do you believe your child needs PLAY, EXERCISE AND SOCIALIZING? It may be challenging to find a house where there is a safe space to play, green areas to exercise and enough events to socialize. Reason 4 – You may not be able to modify rented houses to suit your child’s needs. Your child may want a climbing wall to develop their physical skills or a space in the balcony to paint – not being able to modify the space can limit the development of their TALENTS and INTERESTS. Reason 5 – Owning your house is an investment Also - no matter what financial influencers say shifting homes every 11 months (which is what most tenants have to do) is a massive waste of money. The deposit is wasted, the maintenance amount is wasted, the amount paid in brokerage is wasted, the amount spent packing and shifting is wasted, school bus fees if you don’t find a house near the school are a waste, in case you need to shift your child’s school that is a waste and so on and so forth. TIME FLIES Children grow up much faster than you can imagine. There is no point buying a fabulous house when your children don’t have the above needs any more. It makes sense to buy a house early if you are a parent. Have you bought a house yet? Type YES or NO and share your reasons. Share this. Let us stop shaming the people who are buying houses. Let us think hard and make decisions that are best for us.
Do your child’s tantrums go on and on.
Then you could be making these 3 mistakes – Mistake 1 – You get angry When you get angry your child gets sacred and the tantrum increases. Stay calm Stay near your child Bend down Speak softly and lovingly This will reduce your child’s fear and the tantrum will stop Mistake 2 – You get embarrassed When you get embarrassed, your child feels that you care about other people more than them. This makes them sad and the tantrum increases Stay quiet for a while and just listen When your child makes eye contact – say “I understand†When your child feels understood the tantrum will stop Mistake 3 – You ignore your child When you ignore your child – your child feels disconnected with you Your child’s connection with you is like their oxygen supply. When your child loses connection with you, they panic and the tantrum increases. Stay close Listen Offer a hug Hold them and comfort them When your child feels connected with you the tantrum will stop. Tantrums that go on for a long time can have a negative impact on your child’s development. Do not keep parenting the OLD WAY if you want to build a FUTURE READY BRAIN for your child.

Do you love your children equally?
Of course YES But do your children keep saying - “YOU DON’T LOVE ME. YOU LOVE MY BROTHER / SISTER MORE THAN ME.†If yes – you need to fix 3 MISTAKES that are creating this RIVALRY – 1.MISTAKE 1 Trying to give them everything EQUALLY When you try to make everything equal – you have to compare what you give one child with what you give the other one so that you can give them the same things. This makes your children focus on comparing and measuring They start measuring your love with the things they get. This makes them feel you love them less when they see even a slight difference in what they get What to do – Give fewer things. Teach your children how to share by playing with them 2. MISTAKE 2 COMPARING to motivate your children Comparison is not motivating When you compare – it makes your child believe that they are not good enough. And they start thinking that you love the better child more. What to do – Treat each child like an individual. Motivate them by highlighting their strengths. 3. MISTAKE 3 SOLVING their fights instead of teaching them PROBLEM SOLVING When you step into your children’s fights and give them your solution to end the fight – your children will always feel that your solution is unfair. The child who has to adjust will think you love the other child more. What to do - Help your children to brainstorm and come up with many solutions. Then teach them how to select a win-win solution.
