Dear Parents,
I'm writing this open letter to you on the behalf of all the teen age children. Please let me mention that several things hurt them and affect their attitude, behaviour and personality badly. I wish to share that they are familiar with your intentions about them. kids don't listen to your advice? Why do you think that they are behaving like mutineers?
They know that that you care for them and the fact is that they also care for you. Then why do problems occur? Why is there a gap between you and them? Why do you keep saying that your

Let me give you the reason since they are going through their adolescence and this is a transitional stage from childhood to adulthood. They are curious, confused and flabbergasted sometimes. They need your emotional support.

Few Don'ts

  1. Please don't compare them with their siblings or other kids.
  2. Please don't keep pointing out to their mistakes all the time.
  3. Please don't narrating how you were more obedient in your teen age. (since time has changed now)
  4. Please don't be judgmental.
  5. Please trust them and talk to them regularly. (No matter how busy either of you is.)
There are several other things that offend them but I've tried to highlight the generic things which happen with almost most of the teen age kids.

Impact on Teen age Children
I know that it's very hard to deal with the tough teen age children yet we'll have to comprehend their psychology.
  1. Our harsh words may damage their self-image.
  2. Due to this, they turn out to be pessimists.
  3. Communication gap creates a rift between the children and their parents.
  4. They search for their parents' alternatives.
  5. They rely on others more than their parents.
So, as a mother of a teen age boy, my suggestion to you is please handle your teen age children with care. Especially we shouldn't point out to their mistakes in public since it seems to them as if they are stripped of their self-dignity. So, a little care, prudence and willingness to change can sustain our relationship with our teen age children. Happy parenting!


Take care of your 'Self'.
Best Wishes!

Make Peace with Your Regrets!!!

Make Peace with Your Regrets!!! Dear Friends, How are you all? What’s new in your lives? Well, friends, a fortnight ago, during a  week-long  motivational session, I happened to meet a person who’s quiet, confident, and impressive persona, and this made him stand out in a crowd. We used to smile at each other from a distance daily, however, due to our busy schedule; we couldn’t get a chance to interact with each other. Apart from that, we, both, had different friend circle and our group discussion sessions were also conducted separately. During our long discussions regarding life, relation, how well we comprehend our relations and a life-changing, horrific accident which he met with, he poured his heart to me and at that point, I found out how burdened he was with immense guilt and regrets for not valuing his wife and children, for making their lives miserable at one point of his life. Though I can’t give the entire account of our conversation he hated himself for not being w

Well folks, how are you all? Very often, I interact with the aging people and find out that they are filled with immense apprehension about their retirement age . Such as, what they would do after their retirement , how they would they spend their time, they are reluctant to go to their children’s places as they have their own lives. Apart from that they feel aloof in the new places and in new neighborhoods. There are several questions which cloud their minds and these multiply their tension. Well, they are right, up to a certain extent. After spending several years of a routine life , they are scared of not having any disciplined life as they would have abundance of time after their retirement . Their children wish them to be busy so that they don’t feel alienated and bored but what should they do? Let me share a real story with you all. Last week, I happened to visit my relative who lives in my city only. He is retired and has his wife, only son, his working daughter-in

Money is God!

Recently, I was having an interaction with one of my acquaintances who is quite opulent . In the middle of our talk, he said, 'I hate money '. This bewildered me entirely since despite having enormous wealth , he hardly ever shows any concern for the needy or the poor. Though I don't like to argue on any issue however I took my stand and I asked him why he detests money . He responded, 'Since he has to make lots of efforts in order to manage his wealth .' This annoyed me! So I kept quiet! Friends, I know that gentleman has an immense attachment with his money but he doesn't want to accept it publicly. Friends, this is a very common mindset. We all love and cherish money but still, we have a sort of hesitation in accepting this fact. The reason being is that we've been trained in such a way that money is the root of all the evils! And this sows a seed deep inside our heart that thinking about earning money is an evil thought and we must be corr
