I don’t have a brother. I do have cousins. That’s why Rakhi while growing up was not something I thought a great deal about. But my sister who is six years younger wanted to celebrate all festivals. She insisted that since we looked out for each other we should tie Rakhi to each other Raksha Bandhan is just that. Right?
Easy Fun Rakhi Lettering for card
Protecting, looking out, and helping each other out. Isn’t that what the spirit of Rakhi all about?
My little girl celebrates Rakhi at school, with loads of fun and little idea about Raksha Bandhan .i did try to explain to her today morning when she got ready for school. She was more interested in learning how to tie it, than why and whom of it.
She has 3 cousin brothers who are not close. So if I do make a point about Raksha Bandhan she will not really understand. I am in two minds.
In the epic Mahabharat, Draupadi tied a Rakhi on Krishna. That’s why taking His name Draupadi always got protection.
Whether to make Rai feel her cousins are the brothers, or she would be better off, tying it to Krishnaand make God her protector.Any tips on this?

I believe the only reason I even try to be wonder woman , is because I have Super Daddy helping me.Otherwise, after 15 years of Medical education, I would have a hard time managing home and work .Not mentioning blogging here because writing suddenly has a life of its own and has grown up to get itself done even in the middle of the madness.
This post was written a few years back but republished to celebrate Father’s Day.
My hubby is Daddy dear with a twist.He does everything mommy does, with less amount of irritation.But Mommy wins hands down,when it comes to cuddles and creative challenges.
Are all Dads superheroes? Believe it or not, till 5 years of age they are, at least if they are reasonable normal dads.
After that, the child will judge you by standards which are pretty high, so superhero status can get difficult.
What makes a superhero Daddy?
I think men who can feel,make superhero daddies .They are those who can love. They are not afraid of nappy changes,who never stop being their partners best friends make superhero daddies.Men who love their wives and can rise above their Y chromosome’s, hunter-gatherer mode,can become super daddy.
Behind every well-behaved, kind child,is a set of well-behaved kind parents.
Mommy and Daddy are the two parts of the universe.Both needs to be super material, to carry on the work of future building.
Daddy must be able to wipe tears and put back a smile.
Babysit with elan.
Help mommy potty train the little one.
Help with baby feeding.
Should help with teaching the child
Should not undermine mommies 100% veto power.
Should always love mommy and baby.
Should always be there when a bully needs taking care of.
Should always remember that mommy and baby are waiting at home and come home early in the evenings to play and give mommy a break!

Are you protecting your child? That’s what moms are supposed to do always.Right?But what if you cant?What if you are not there, then? How will you protect?”God made mothers because he couldn’t be everywhere.”Rudyard Kipling
But I do believe God is inside all of us. You need to look deep within. That’s my aim as a mommy. To teach my daughter to look for answers about good and bad inside own soul…I believe we all are born with deep insight and empathy. These two qualities can help you decide the right from wrong
Unfortunately, cybersafety and this decision of choosing right and wrong is difficult for small children. In fact difficult for adults too. Then should you give them the phone? Is stopping exposure the right sort of protection? I am a firm believer in prevention is the best cure.
[bctt tweet=”But what should you prevent the exposure or the reaction to it? #cybersecutity #MondayMommyMoments #drAmrita” username=”misra_amrita”]
I think you cannot protect against exposure until you shift to Antarctica. Not sure about internet connectivity there!So you need to teach mental defenses and behavioral skills to identify danger, dangerous people and dangerous links and media.
Too much screen time is anyways not recommended.But if you are honest, you do give your phone or tab when very busy right?That’s where a few things can help.Creative play with children to entertain them needs your participation and is a great way to keep children gadget free.
If its a school going child and child carries a phone, you don’t need to allow internet connectivity twenty-four seven. We survived without that, they will too. At home either have kids Youtube enabled or allow them to use Youtube linked to your account.Be careful that you have setting adjusted so that youtube will not show you inappropriate content.
Did you know even a few days back, videos by terror groups were freely aired on Youtube, as they garnered great views and had ads running? Imagine ! Only when the brands stepped back from allowing their ads to run next to terror videos that youtube pulled the plug.
Less than 18years children are not allowed facebook accounts and most social media accounts.It’s your job as a parent to check that.
No links or videos from unknown numbers should be opened.This should be a strict rule. Breaking will mean punishment.
Don’t share your child’s full frontal pictures and definitely never allow them to do that. For contests try giving a profile picture. That should work too.
Explain to your child that it’s never okay to take or upload inappropriate pictures on social media. Not own and not anybody else.Any friend or anyone who suggests that needs to be ignored. She should also let you know.
Teach them about videos or games which friends might want to show at school. Tell her she needs to come and discuss with you, you would like to know. If she feels embarrassed talking about it or afraid to tell you then she will know that it’s not the right kind of media she should be watching.
With smartphones everywhere and peer pressure being what it is until you can be our child’s confidante its difficult to protect.
Have a Total internet security on your phone and laptop everywhere.That’s important not just antivirus.
Do not download unknown apps and don’t allow apps to access the camera on a phone or laptop. You can adjust this in settings.
These can give me sleepless nights.I hope me talking to her every day will help.Also, this is one more battle you and me have to fight as mothers.I will be updating this post with more information soon.
