Parenting Done Right : Spending Quality TIME

-
       Since childhood me and my brother have always experienced healthy bondings with our family. I still can remember those Sunday morning chitchats, diwali preparations, durga puja celebrations, having dinner, watching cricket on TV, reading story books at bed time together, outing with family. Those are the moments to be cherished forever. Me and my brother are fortunate enough to have the attachment of Grandparents which are too valuable for future life. Here I'm sharing some impacts of spending quality time with your children and how these can be done. 

Self confidence- When children spend time with their parents, they feel valued, positive and confident about themselves. You don't need to be fancy or expensive for this. Just make sure to spend quality time with them.
▪️Play indoor or outdoor games together. ▪️Do gardening. 
▪️Read story books together at bedtime. 
▪️Go for morning walk or evening walk.
▪️Show interests in their hobbies. 
▪️Surprise them by leaving a positive note in their school bags.
▪️Be silly and childish with them, sing with them, dance with them, laugh with them.
▪️Do all these regularly and ofcourse without any distractions. 


Good behaviour & better problem solving skill- Non-judgmental (sometimes judgemental ofcourse 😅) and friendly parents may bring the ultimate blessings for children. If they know that they can talk to you about their problems, they are less likely to get involved in risky or violent behaviours. They will learn to cope up with odds in life. 
▪️Have healthy and open conversations so that they feel comfortable about sharing their own problems. 
▪️Share your problems with them and ask for opinions too.

Better health condition- Children who frequently eat meals with their families also usually have improved dietary intake.
▪️Try to prepare meals and take those with your children whenever possible. 

Good academics- If you, as a parent, provide guidance for your child’s academic school years, that will lead to the definite success in future. They will understand the importance of learning. They will enjoy your attention for doing well and will continue to do so.
▪️Encourage your child to do well. 
▪️Appreciate & acknowledge little effort.
▪️Ask about their day in school and what they learned. 

Strong family bondings- Families who spend quality time together, share stronger emotional bondings. Children learn to share and care. When everything is positive, chances are there that they will grow to their potential and can achieve success in life. All these may bring ultimate happiness in family.

Good personality- All these will definitely have an everlasting impact because children learn from examples. If you spend quality time with them, they are more likely to adopt those behaviours in other relationships, in their own parenting and most importantly in your old age too.❤❤

Happy parenting 💕

Soft Gulabjamuns (using Khoya) Step by step

       This lockdown has made me passionate about dessert making. Or it's better saying I'm missing my otherwise weekends' sweet hauls. My mother is a great cook. I guess she knows everything. Every time I try something new, I call her altogether a minimum of 10 to 20 times to get the perfection. And yes I get the result.        "Gulabjamun" is a milk solid based, very popular north Indian sweet. In English Gulab means "Rose" and Jamun is "blackish purple berry".  This is called as such may be due to its look. I personally love the combination of hot gulabjamun and vanilla icecream. They both create a true heavenly feeling in mouth. Here I made these gulabjamuns to bake a  Gulabjamun Cake . I used khoya or mawa (kheer in bengali) for the preparation. Khoya is the evaporated milk solid which is prepared by continuously boiling the milk on a low flame. Preparation time: 30 minutes  Cooking time: 15 minutes Total: 45 minute

Parenting Done Right : Do Not Let Depression Win

-
As a well known proverb says, "Morning shows the day", whatever you pour on your little one during their childhood, will become parts of his or her mental and physical growth in future. They are the blooming buds. They will choose to act accordingly in their adulthood as they have had perceived in their childhood. So its important to be responsible and sensible parents. As parents ofcourse we wish the best for our kids but sometimes unknowingly we lack the means of providing so. Today's youth fail to control their unchecked emotions often in conflicting situations and out of depression push the life to an end. This is not desirable and acceptable at any cost. They need to understand that life is bigger and beautiful than anything else. Here are some of my observations, (which itself is a continuous process and will continue to be so), perceived as a daughter and as well as a mother. 1️⃣Healthy sleeping and eating habits:  Encourage proper sleeping habits and healthy diet
