Lockdown is stressful, and if you are a mother to a toddler locked inside four walls of your home, then one can only imagine. But there are few ways mothers can handle their toddlers.
Deprived of the outside world, limited access to amenities, errands to shopping malls and parks and playgroups are forbidden. What could be more nightmare for a new mom who believes in ” it takes a village to raise a kid” philosophy?
Ok, let’s face it. The situation is kinda out of control but there are few ways mothers can handle their toddlers, not only like a pro to cope up with the situation but creating a beautiful bond during this situation.
Most mothers are concerned with the unavailability of pedestrians and the giant task to take your kid to hospital amid lockdown. New mothers are particularly taking tremendous stress. What if the kid caught a cold? What if my kid vomits at night? What about vaccination? Never-ending thoughts…however, the mantra is to think less and keep a tab on basic things such as…
I was flabbergasted when my three-year-old received an invitation for online classes from school. It is inevitable that 2020 has thrown some hurdles on us. A year cut off from school is going to be one among them. However, there is no need to push your child particularly toddler into the entire process of online classes. Let them take their own time to relax, adjust, and move on. that makes…
My three-year-old was too clumsy towards online classes, she started panicking looking at teachers and other kids on the laptop screen. I completely stood against the idea.
Without any doubt, mothers are struggling to cope up with the time. Kids, household routines and work from home are making it worse. To maintain a toddler can be a hurricane task. However, toddlers seldom realize your problems. They need undivided attention no matter what. And we can blame them. Whilst all you need to spare some time ensuring undivided attention. Which means…
One of the best ways to develop a mother-child bonding is to indulge in playtime and reading time. Like any other routine, both are important factors that pave the way for developing cognitive and speech development in kids. Avoid cellphones, video games, and other gadgets during playtime. Instead, creatively mould the child into fun and learning.
In fact, in the past few months, there is an increase in negativity and obscurity in every home. Which has drastically increased by 35% after lockdown emerged? Suicide, death rate, mental illness talks are surging as every household talk. But seldom we notice two little ears all over us. Not until my three years old started panicking on stepping out of the house. I realized the blunder. Avoid hammering every now and then ” wash your hands”, “sanitize your toys ” instead of making it a routine habit without even mentioning the word COVID!
We relate metal illness, depression, stress and anxiety with adulthood. But sadly the plight isn’t different for children. One on every 10 children faces depression, anxiety, or other forms of the disorder. There is an utmost need to keep a tab on the mental health of your child.
The child is too low and gloomy, complaining a lot about physical pain like stomach ache, sleeping issues and unnecessary attention-seeking can likely signal.
In such cases, it would be a better option to seek professional help. Professional counsellors and psychologists are available online amid this ongoing situation. Take help.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
