yes i agree.letting kids get bored is something most parents dont want to do anymore these days. when kids are bored, it helps them get creative and use their imagination to find out ways in which they can keep themselves occupied. we hardly have any TV time at home, and my kids are always making up a lot of games

I don't have a question...I just wanted to say something... A note to the parents of students before the start of Exams. I know you are really anxious for your child to do well! But please do remember, amongst the students who will be sitting for exams, There is an artist who doesn’t need to understand Maths. There is an entrepreneur, who doesn’t care about History or English Literature. There is a musician, whose chemistry marks won’t matter, There is an athlete, whose physical fitness is more important than physics, If your child does get top marks that’s great I f he or she doesn’t, please don’t take away their self confidence and dignity from them. Tell them its ok; it’s just an exam, They are cut out for much bigger things in life. Tell them no matter what they score, you love them and will not judge them, Please do this and when you do, watch your children conquer the world. One exam or a low mark won’t take away their dreams and their talent, Please do not think that doctors and engineers are the only happy people in the world. With warm regards,

My 18 yr old son suffers from indigestion and heartburn in the morning. He's into the habit of not eating breakfast before going to college. And eating trash at erratic times. Pls suggest some remedy. Totally clueless on what to give him for breakfast also as he just doesn't eat anything...help...

Half glass of water, and half glass of milk and add one spoon of roofaza... Mix all these things... It helps to remove heartburn....

Sorry dears, was out of town with extremely bad internet access... But I'm back...I know I missed a lot...but I'll keep up... I would like to know what defines a true friend?? Want to use this topic in our family discussion for my kids...

for me, a true friend is one who will understand me and listen to me without being judgmental, and also give her or his own suggestion and point of view without sounding preachy. a true friend will also point out something that i am doing wrong and that needs to be rectified

Keeping in mind the volatile situation in our country and the fact that most issues like rapes, molestation, robbery, getting beaten up, pushed around etc happen mostly because people are ignorant, gullible and unprepared.... shouldnt there be more training institutes that teach basic know how of criminal mindset and some steps and guidance on how to take care of ourselves? There are classes that teach everything under the sun, but this I still have yet to see. These should be taken up in societies and communities...instd of just relying on a few security guards, shouldn't there also be something the whole neighborhood can do? What's the suggestion all can give here?

definitely yes, but i guess the first step is to prepare ourselves and our kids to be able to handle such situations. one great way of doing this is to enroll in combat sports, that teach you how to defend yourself when caught in an attack mode. if not, the basic classes such as karate and any form of martial arts is a good example. in addition, we need to keep our kids informed about safe practices, as well as keep our residential areas safe through gadgets such as CCTV surveillance, as well as trusted security guards and vigilant residents.

Scenario:- you are in ur car with ur kids. Husband is driving. Suddenly a car from behind overtakes ur car without signal rather rashly. As the car passed by, u all notice it's a lady driver. Husband huffs angrily and says" woman driver.!!... but naturally...". Kids start to laugh and husband joins in. How do u react? What's your emotions about what's being taught unwittingly to ur kids?

so sad and yet so common. almost all guys i know, including my husband, do the same, and even in front of kids. i'd say talk to him and tell him not to teach such gender biased and stereotypical examples to kids, but i am not really sure people understand that.

A friend of mine is a bit worried about security reasons as times have really bad especially for a girl who travels alone. Her daughter travels to college sometimes in rickshaw or cabs with a college friend who lives nearby her area. This friend is a boy and very chivalrous. He ensures that he drops my friends daughter to her home first and then goes home. But my friend worries that something shouldn't go wrong in their daily commute. The horrors we daily face of molestation, rape, robbery and murders are scaring her to the point of putting a lot of restrictions on her daughter. What tips can she give to her kid for helping her remain guarded?

We always ask our kids to be alert, your friend also should ask your girl to be alert at all times. She should keep her eyes and ears open and be at safe zones. If possible, she should carry a pepper spray with her. Her parents and friends numbers should always be at speed dial. We cannot restrict our daughters from living a normal life and also enjoying their life.

Boarding school.... regular school....or home schooling.. What's the best for children and parents? Especially keeping in mind the emotional and mental impacts it creates in children and parents.

i will not send my kids to boarding school ever, as i just cannot bear to not have them around me all the time :) regular day school is working fine for my kids and i am very happy with the progress and the way they are learning.

What's the best way to combat bullying or ragging? Does tit for tat always work?

i wont say tit for tat works, but definitely standing up to the situation and stopping it right at the start works. i was a victim of bullying and i did put a stop to it right away, by facing my fears and standing up to it. i think you have to teach your child to be firm and strong, discuss everything with you, and know how to say NO.
