The Best Way to Study for Exams | Exam basics with Debmita Dutta

30/10/2021

Comments

 
As the #exams come closer - 
If your child is reading and reading and reading
and getting more and more stressed 
because they are forgetting everything......
Then watch this video to know what to do.
No. 
Just asking them to relax is not going to work.
You have to show them how to learn so that they can remember
what they study in the exam.
And in this video - I explain how to do that.
As parents it is important for us to understand what we can do to help our children perform better in their exams.
If you want to learn more about your teenager - how they learn and what you can do to help them learn better -
Read my books - 
1. How to motivate your teenager to study https://amzn.to/3CvJEpY
2. How to help your child score better

The books are published by Juggernaut Books(@juggernaut.in) and available on Amazon Kindle

How to get away from making food tasty in an unhealthy way and make food appealing to children while keeping it healthy?

"I have turned into a MasterChef"
 
The mom of a toddler tells me. 
 
"I make these absolutely delicious healthy dishes.
 
But my child does not even TOUCH them."
 
She says. 
 
Do children eat tasty food? 
 
Not always. 
 
What we find tasty may not be tasty or appealing to them for various reasons. 
 
So what do they find tasty and why? 
 
Why do they pick some foods over others? 
 
What are the unhealthy ways to make food tasty? 
 
How to get away from making food tasty in an unhealthy way and make food appealing to children while keeping it healthy? 
 
I am going to be talking about all of this at the preconference workshop of #OMBCDiscover2021 that I am conducting on the 11th of November 2021. 
 
Picky eating is one of the most common problems that parents approach me with when their children are toddlers. 
 
And I have written a book on the how to tackle this problem. 
 
The book is called
 
"What to do if your child is a picky eater"
 
The book is published by Juggernaut Books (@juggernaut.in) and is available on Amazon Kindle. 
 
Sharing the link to the book in comments. 
 
I hope to see you at my workshop. 
 
Do register for the conference before the 31st of October to be able to join my workshop. 
 
I am sharing the registration link in comments. 
 
The conference will be invaluable if you are attempting to move to healthy eating.

And I am so grateful for these opportunities to share how to do that

Parenting teens is supposed to be one of the most difficult tasks on earth. 
 
Almost every day parents reach out to me for help because their teenagers are refusing to do what they need to do. 
 
The general impression is that peer pressure..
 
media....devices. ..and the pandemic are responsible for this behavior. 
 
But that is a defeatist attitude. 
 
A blame game. 
 
It builds a learned helplessness. 
 
It leads to parents giving up. 
 
And the people who are impacted the most by this giving up are the teenagers themselves. 
 
Because it results in them not being able to achieve the happiness ....
 
not build the self-esteem....
 
they could have - if they had had their parent's participation. 
 
But how to stop playing the blame game? 
 
How to recognize the real issues? 
 
And what to do about them? 
 
That was the topic of my #corporateparenting workshop yesterday. 
 
And I was thrilled that the participants found it extremely valuable. 
 
Changing the way we parent has the potential to change the world works. 
 
We can make the world a better place through empathy and compassion while parenting. 
 
And I am so grateful for these opportunities to share how to do that.

It is the time you spend connecting with your child through play

18/10/2021

Comments

 
Many organizations have started giving their employees 6 months of #paternityleave 
 
This is wonderful and has the potential to change the world by changing the brains of children.
 
The brain grows rapidly in the first year of life and spending quality time with the parents in the first six months of life can really accelarate the development of the brain.
 
What is quality time for a child?
 
It is the time you spend connecting with your child through play.
 
But do parents play with their babies in the first year?
 
From my experience as parenting consultant - I would say that several times - the answer is NO.
 
There are two reasons for this.
 
Reason 1 - they are so worried about the height and weight of their babies that they do not have the time to focus on the brain.
 
Reason 2 - they don't know how to play with a child who cannot talk and move.
 
This results in - 
 
1. The brain not growing to its potential
 
2. Late detection of developmental delays
 
3. Emotional disconnect between parent and child
 
4. Tantrums and other conflict.
 
So why not grab the opportunity presented by 6 months of paternity leave and play with your baby?
 
In this 6 video series that I have created for Morisons Baby Dreams(@morisonsbabydreams) - I explain in detail how you can play with your baby in the first year.
 
Watch it - play and make good use of your paternity leave.

​I don't remember the year... But this was an Ovenderful Mom Bakers Community Sunday afternoon meet up at a cafe. 

The love and laughter is right there for you to see in the picture

OMBC meet ups are all like that. 

Sadly the pandemic has kept us from meeting like this for more than a year now. 

But Simran Oberoi Multani is creating opportunities for us to recreate this online. 

And that is so exciting. 

Tomorrow I will be chatting with her on the OMBC community at 3 PM. 

I am really looking forward to it. 

Do join in if you are a healthy Baker. 

We will be reliving a lot of memories of the past OMBCDiscover conferences and other fun memories. 

This year the conference is on the 4th and 5 th of December. 

I am conducting a preconference workshop in November. 

If you register by the 31st of October you can join my workshop. 

Hope to see you there.

I love festivals.
 
They schedule moments of happiness into my life.
 
Durga pujo is made up of 5 otherwise ordinary days of the year.
 
But I am bubbling over with happiness because it is PUJO.
 
Pause - look around - notice - connect - rejoice.
 
I love how festivals schedule that into my life.
 
Happy Dashami from all of us to all of you.

Playing with your baby is the best way to build the brain while detecting developmental delays.

INHS Asvini
 
The naval Hospital of the armed forces at Mumbai
 
Inaugurated their Early intervention center last month. 
 
And it was my privilege to be able to contribute to their endeavor by compiling this booklet for them. 
 
I loved working on this because it allowed me to merge my passion for "play" with my husband's expertise in ENT and create a valuable resource for parents. 
 
Playing with your baby is the best way to build the brain while detecting developmental delays. 
 
And this booklet shows parents how they can play with their babies as they grow - to connect with them - engage with them - build their brains and observe and detect developmental delays in hearing and speech. 
 
A delay in detection of communication skills can impact children mentally, emotionally and socially. Can lead to learning problems and behavioral issues. 
 
And it is only through educating parents about detection and available intervention that we can prevent these issues. 
 
These booklets are available to parents at the INHS Asvini. 
 
Very grateful for this opportunity to make the world a better place for children.

I was bursting with pride and happiness yesterday.

3/10/2021

I usually write about my experiences consulting with or addressing parents.
 
But today I am writing about my experience as a parent.
 
I was bursting with pride and happiness yesterday.
 
We were invited to the Raj Bhavan (the Governor's House) to watch our daughter play at the Gandhi Jayanti celebrations.
 
She played the Euphonium in an 18 member brass band (of the Frank Anthony Public School) to acccompany a 15 member choir (also from FAPS) conducted by the esteemed Mr Narayanaswamy.
 
So so so proud of her - her passion - her dedication - her resilience and her hardwork.
 
Close to 10 hours of practice per week for many many years - goes into mastering a wind instrument
 
And in her case it involved overcoming a lot of pain every time - because she plays with braces.
 
And yet there has never been a time when she has said "no" to practice.
 
I have watched in amazement as she has enthusiastically braved hours of pain with a geniunely happy smile - as she put in the hard work.
 
Of course none of this would have happened without the passion and love of Mr Narayanaswamy. Her determination and her passion is in large part thanks to the amazing teacher that he is and the love and respect for music that he has instilled in her.
 
Thank you God. We are so so so grateful for these blessings.
 
Today I feel like I have achieved a milestone in my parenting journey.

When children don't do what they need to do - it is almost involuntary to nag them.

A chat about "nagging" - with the effervescent Su Iyer 🤗
 
When children don't do what they need to do - it is almost involuntary to nag them. 
 
But does nagging work? 
 
If it doesn't - why? 
 
And what can be done instead that is really effective? 
 
If you are struggling with nagging - do share your experience - maybe together we can find a solution 🙂
