Letter from Us to You--Three (Parents are your friends)

Our worst nightmare, when our children choose to keep things from us. When they are young and growing, we wish that they don't get wrong information from wrong sources. When they are grown ups, we hope that they know, their parents are always there. They trust us and reach out to us whenever they feel the need. My letter to my growing son.......

You are in that age where kids tease you for telling each and everything to your parents ..
When we discussed this I tried to explain the reason why you still need to share everything with your parents...
You are in growing age... there are many things, you all don't know about
Like I told you ... which programs to watch? Which books to read?? Which type of language to speak??? And much more.. which we can suggest when time comes

To avoid abusive language.. to avoid some people and to avoid some places..You need experience..You lack proper knowledge too

Letter from us to you--Two (Positivity)

Hi dear let me tell you a story today....
 
After making so many animals and birds and plants ...when God created human beings ... He thought he would create a very powerful and self sufficient creature .. who will not need God very often and who would be able to solve his problems himself...
He gave strong body.. power to walk on two legs, so hands remained free... a Brain more powerful than any machine.. He was very happy with his creation
 
But as soon as Humans started living on Earth, they started calling Him for their help in the form of Prayers... God was confused... what happened???? why this human is not using his resources... why is he troubling me???
He called Human and asked about it.. Human said... God there are so many things which are not under my control.. I need you and I need you more than any one else...
God said OK but I have created so many human beings if every one started asking favours from me then how will I help all at once??
OK lets device a plan .... With the help of angels in Heaven I will keep a Console handy and I will keep pressing the button randomly and say TATHASTU means 'So Be It' ...
Its your duty that you ask for something positive from me ... if you say something negative and I say TATHASTU then you are responsible ...
Human agreed and God started telling TATHASTU to the prayers of all the human beings ...

Letter from us to you--One (Emotional Pain)

My LO ...you are growing up fast..

It's being difficult keeping pace and match up to your speed of growing..

Like any other parent, me and your Pappu always wish that you don't have to face any difficulties in life and life treat you well...But more than that we want you to be able to brace life with open arms....

You are ten years old now.. This is the time when you are not a toddler but you are not an adolescent too..... Till now you were well protected under our wings... but now you want to flutter your little wings ... you will start taking small flights and then the wonderful day will come when you will fly into this vast sky.. to explore this beautiful world with your own eyes...

But before that let's talk about some things that we want to tell you.....

Let's talk about Pain ... Pain is inevitable.. its part of life... be it physical or emotional...

We wish... you learn to keep physical and emotional pains separate.. you understand that these are mutually exclusive

If we hurt ourselves physically...its not necessary that we feel down ... we can still laugh, be happy ...provided our jaws are not hurt

Sleepover .... What to expect

Lo and behold.... Me and D also came face to face with this reality....

The wish of my LO, who is thinking himself to be quite grown up now, to organise a sleepover party for his friends...
                                                              
         Off course we complied... but we were stepping in the unknown territory...

         Yes yes !!! I agree ...parenting in itself is an unknown territory for all of us.. we all brace ourselves and jump into it to face whatever may come..
 
           We decided .. we would plan an elaborate dinner with breakfast in the morning for our one night wards. Here the planning of Menu was like a piece of cake... literally ...But the menu itself was going to be according to our activities for the night, but.... hold it
 
All depended on the space for sleeping in one room with each other but not cramped....
 
           So I asked LO to make list of his bestest of friends ...whom he was willing to call... and I gave the task of ruling out the naughtiest ones ... so that my sanity could be restored afterwards
 
           First of all call to mommies, if they would be willing to send their children then only further planning was feasible... The mommies of friends my LO wanted to call were not very much acquainted with me..
         
          With a little doubt first of all I called one whom I thought to be knowing me a bit more than others.. she agreed to send her child till 12:30 in the night only.. I felt obliged... called another one.. luckily neighbour of the first one... she too agreed for 12:30 only... Now what??????
