How to take current affairs to children?

Image
Summer has come, vacation also has come. No doubt that TV and your smart phone are in the control of your kids. Same as elders, kids are also attracted more to YouTube than TV. We may get tired of those baby shark, wheels on the bus go round and round... PJ masks peppa pigs etc, but not the kids. It is common to have difference of preferences between kids and parents. Sometimes mom can also get adjusted to kids preferences and not all fathers for sure. So, what to watch together? Here is a Tamil show in a you tube channel scripted for children above 5 years, which will be a fun show for elders too. The desire of the team is to initiate the conversation about current affairs between kids and parents. Thus, the show build a knowledge sharing scenario at home. BLACK SHEEP, a YouTube channel with 2.1 M subscribers, is known for creativity and uniqueness, continued to give more political news in various forms of shows. Video memes and appropriate songs in between their c...

Websites for Homeschooling

Image
Homeschooling is an art and part of parenting. It is essential for kids and parents to have learning from home too. Parents who are educated and knowledgeable too need certain study plan and respective study materials to teach their kids. Some believe that  Facebook pages and YouTube channels are enough for study materials, which is not true. They are just trailers and we cannot rely them for everything. Also, those social sites are high in distractions.  Parents who are interested in homeschooling and interested to introduce many new subjects apart from their school curriculum should sign up for exclusive educational sites and take part in parenting forums Following are few of the educational sites that I came across. I'm glad to share them with a hope that it will benefit interested parents.

Aathichudi - inculcate basics of life to ur kids

Image
There are few things in the world that are very basic and must learn in early childhood itself. I feel, it is  a responsibility of parents to inculcate them in their kids,  as  primary chapters of life learning. I would say Aathichudi by Avvayar is one of such things from Tamil literature. Through Aathichudi,  we can introduce our kids to Tamil as well as life. Aathichudi stories for kids Aathichudi Rhymes ஆத்திசூடியை உலகறியச் செய்வோம்!!! Let's Spread Aathichudi to the World!!! 1. அறம் செய விரும்பு / 1. Learn to love virtue. 2. ஆறுவது சினம் / 2. Control anger. 3. இயல்வது கரவேல் / 3. Don't forget Charity. 4. ஈவது விலக்கேல் / 4.

My kinda perfect sunday

After becoming a mom of two kids, my dream for long drive and trips on werkends were vanished. But cleaning the house, back to back movies, staying awake in late nights, waking up on next day afternoon also bored. I don't want a lazy weekend anymore. I wanted a change. I want some refreshment in the fresh air. Decided!!!!! Beach!!!! Yes, Saturday night, I packed necessaries for a picnic. When U travel with a kid, even for 1hr journey, you need to pack like picnic only. Because, you will not know, what is exactly needed, so the minimum back up for food and cloth is a must. Sunday morning, sharp at 6, we woke up to swipe off the  ⏰. I prepared idly for breakfast and packed it. Me and Vetri had our refreshing beverage coffee. Dressed up the kids and all were ready by 6.30. We headed to Santa Monica Beach but actually with an intention to stop anywhere comfortable before it. The drive to beach was through mountain roads. Traveling in car with windows down and breathing...

Picture day

Image
June 21, There is nothing important  about this day. I am sure, I ll forget this date in some days, but the memories will last longer. Anything that comes first are always special and memorable. The speciality of this day falls under that category. My son's school, notified us that June 21 is going to be their picture day of the year 2017. Individual pictures of each student and group photo of each class was taken. My son's first picture day in school. My son was in montessori and no uniforms. So, I'm confused whether to choose some grand dress or casual or anything formal dress to wear. Finally my husband chose a Jean pant and a half sleeve to shirt. That is fine, school group pic should get back his school memories, so his casual wear is fine. Anything, other than his casual wear will turn to be a fancy dress. So, I too agreed with his choice of outfit. When we went back to pick him up from school on that day, they were not done with the photo session. ...
