How do I get my kids to school on time in the morning? They are so slow in doing everything. It takes me ages to get them to drink milk and dress up...

i would say you wake up at least with an extra margin of an hour, and wake them up at such a time that you have at least 30 minutes extra to spare. for instance, my kids, one a kindergarten student and the other a primary school kid, have to leave at 7:15. so i wake up at 5:30 and wake them up around 6:15. by the time they wake up and take their sweet time and are ready, we can make it to the bus with ease.

How can you distinguish between twins?

I do not have twins, but to come and think of it, it must be quite amusing to mix up when feeding the babies. I think to be sure who is who, mums can dress them in different clothes, so by keeping the clothes in mind the mum is not confused. And if you want to dress the babies in same clothes, as they would look cuter that way, then you can embroider the names of the babies at the back of the dress or mark their names with waterproof maker. Or, you can also look for some birth mark or may be if the complexion is one shade light or dark, you can make out who is who. Or you can put a nail print on the toe of one baby and leave the other one's. This way also you can make out the difference.

What happens if you speak to your baby like an adult and not how you talk to a regular baby?

i don't know about talking to a baby like an adult, but i have never spoken to my babies in a baby-ish lisping language. i have always spoken to them in a way that i speak to others, of course keeping the tone and language easier. i do feel it helped to improve their pronunciation as well as vocabulary.

Do Indian parents ever apologize to their kids when they themselves are at fault?

my parents have always been very fair, so when i was a kid, and then a teen and later, i remember they would readily say sorry if they were not right. as a parent today, i also practice the same. there is nothing to be ashamed of in saying sorry or acknowledging your mistake when you know you are not right, even if it is from a parent to a child.

Have you faced any challenges in preschool interviews? Can someone help me please..

Hey, do not take any stress. Pre-school interviews are nothing but conversation where the management wants to know about your professional background. They just want to know what you do, and gauge how as a parent you are. And they may ask you tow or more questions about what all your kid likes to do and all. There are no challenges as such, just the plight and helplessness that you feel to see how most of the schools just believe in minting money in the name of new curriculum and introducing the idea of taking each child as a unique person. There is no such thing, most of them are run-of-the-mill ones.
