I was the perfect mom this morning

I did not lose my temper with my kids – I often do – and bash myself up for letting them go without a hug from me. This morning was perfect – and I am really charged to work the whole day…
Great morning!!

When will i learn to be patient with my daughter..

I know that any activity is enjoyable only if it is not evaluated and yet I criticise and scold my daughter when she makes mistakes while reading.
The evening was better though – I encouraged her to read the notice that they send from school and praised her when she read it right AND IGNORED her mistakes with an ENCOURAGING smile :) Phew!!

Well - I decided that...

I will not cook fresh meals till I have finished the leftovers in the fridge. That way I don’t have to stock my fridge with things I don’t know exist – just to throw them out one fine day!!

Read on ...

about my 20 things to do and see how I attack then every day... I just have a look at them and try to do something to fulfil atleast three of them...

I have to...

check his answer paper that I didnot do last night – Tf he knows that I have spent time checking them and giving hi feedback his motivation will increase.. :)

I have done it...

I have genuinely shown interest in his studies and have succeeded in motivating him to do it regularly – baby steps – He is excited about all that interest generated in his studies and willing to comply. He is motivated even. Well that is for today…
