How I Want My Boys to Treat Women
I always wanted a girl child, but God blessed us with two boys. Not that I don’t like boys, but I always thought it would be much more cheerful to have a baby girl. The first reason I wanted a girl is that we can buy a huge variety of clothing, from frilly frocks to ethnic wear, and style her hair in different ways. When it comes to a girl, I can relate to so many things from when I was a kid. Whenever we go shopping, there is always a small section of clothing available for boys, whereas most of the shops are occupied with girls' clothing and accessories. To this day, when we go shopping, I am drawn to the glittering and shimmering collection of clothing displayed for girls and wish for a girl child.
But on the other hand, when I hear about all the attacks that are happening on girls, starting from eve-teasing, acid attacks, dowry harassment, molesting even a 4-year-old girl, I feel how dreadful it is out there for a girl child!!! Parents are worried sick every second of their life for the safety of their darling daughter. It makes me think about how it could have been if I had a girl child? Are we living in such a heinous society? Whose fault is it? Who is to be blamed for all these unfortunate events? Is there anything I can do about it?
But now I think, yes, I can do something on my part to protect the girl child. If I have a girl child, I don’t want to instil the same fear that was instilled in my heart. Since my childhood days, the one advise everyone around me has been giving is "don’t do this/ don’t do that because you are a girl”. But, I want to tell her the following things:
Men and women are equal. There is nothing she can’t achieve if she gives her 100%.
She should know self-defence. Just because she is a girl, doesn’t mean she is weak; in fact, she is stronger. It’s all in her mind. Physical fitness is very important.
Not to be scared of evil people. Her mental strength is stronger than the evil in somebody’s heart. There’s no need to panic in any situation if she is strong.
Going out, exploring the world and learning is as important as taking care of household activities.
And I want to tell my boys this -
RESPECT WOMEN. Men and women are equal.
It is not disrespectful to take care of household activities.
Stand by her side when she is in trouble.
Never underestimate the power of women.
Always treat her right.
If each parent responsibly contributes to building a better society where men and women are respected equally, our girls will have the freedom to soar high in life. Read more

My Kid and I in the 'Real' Mud, Trying to Make Memories
"Stop playing outside and get inside!" - these are the usual words I got to hear from my mom when I was a kid. Yes! I loved playing. It's been years now since I have gone outside and played. I forgot the smell of the mud, my skin has become flawless without wounds or scars that I used to get while playing, and most of all, I don't remember the last time I had a sweaty body from playing. All these came to my mind when I saw my 3-year-old son playing with sand, water and bricks and trying to build a castle on my mobile phone. Shocking! But that's the reality of this generation's kids. Technology has taken over them and has made them believe that games are meant to be played on mobiles.
What Am I Doing as a Mom?
My mom gave me the freedom to play around and explore things. Of course, those days we didn't have technology taking over us. That's a good thing but we all know that this generation's kids need to be stopped from becoming addicted to gadgets - but what do we do? Are we giving them space to explore things beyond the walls put up by technology? I am not against technology that teaches them things that we don't even know about, but technology should be used the right way and kids should be protected from the colourful addictive screens. These thoughts made me think and brought back my childhood memories in the flash of a second. I stopped reading the newspaper, called my son, went outside, looked around and told him, "Come! Let's play in the mud!" He anxiously looked at me and said, "But mom, won't I be dirty?" I replied, " Yes, you will be, but that will teach you things; come, let's play together!"
These words brought an unexpected as well a surprised look on his face and those excited sparkling eyes were all ready to capture moments. After all, those little hands are meant to be dirty and make memories for their future!

5 Stylish Winter Shoes for Your Little Ones
Come winter, and parents have a gala time dressing their children up every day in warm pants, cosy sweaters, and cute little monkey-caps! Indeed kids look awww-dorable done in winter-wear – walking talking mini sushi-rolls! However, one aspect of winter dressing that you might tend to overlook is the feet.
Hands and feet are the body parts that come in contact with most of the world. They are the extremities of the body, and the body loses heat through them. It is hence important to keep hands and feet warm to drive away winter.
5 Cute and Stylish Kids’ Winter Shoes
While options to keep the hands warm are limited, with mittens and hand-gloves being the only two options, there are a lot of different ways in which you can style your child’s feet for winter. Here are the 5 cutest shoes you can buy your child this winter!
1. Boots
The winter staple footwear that looks great on anyone and with any kind of outfit! Boots are ideal for kids feet, especially because they are very sturdy and made of thicker material than ordinary footwear. Be sure to buy a pair especially if you plan to take a winter vacation to a cold region with chances of snowfall!
2. Sports-shoes
These are more all-season, all-weather than particularly ‘winter’ shoes. However, they are a good fix if you do not want to spend money on expensive winter boots. Sports shoes also are thicker than daily footwear. When worn with socks, they can be quite effective in keeping the feet warm.
3. Sneakers
On the days that it is not too cold, sneakers can be a good ‘compromise’ between the child refusing to wear warm footwear, and the parent yearning to keep the child safe and protected. Sneakers are good when your child is going to be outdoors but not necessarily ‘playing’; sneakers are not too tough and allow a good degree of flexibility. If it gets too cold, you can switch from regular to thick socks to add an extra layer of warmth.
4. Loafers / Slip-ons
Sometimes kids can get fussy with having to constantly ‘tie’ their footwear. On the other hand, laced footwear does not look good on every kind of outfit, especially when it comes to girls. That’s when you need a pair of loafers or slip-ons. Loafers and slip-ons will up the style quotient of your child’s look without compromising on functionality (since they are ‘closed’ and hence keep the feet covered and protected from winter).
5. Indoor Slip-ons
It is equally important to protect kids’ feet indoors! You can pick cute woolly slippers for indoor use. These are great even when you are travelling. Hotel rooms usually have marble floors, which tend to get cold in winters.
Tips to Style Regular Footwear for Winter
Kids outgrow their wardrobes rapidly. So, many parents are not too inclined to invest too much in their child’s wardrobes. So here are some tips to style your child’s regular footwear for the cold days of winter.
For Boys
Most of the boy’s footwear is usually covered. You can just buy thick socks to go inside your son’s regular footwear to bear the winter. Either look for woollen socks or look for socks that are multi-layered. One tip that comes handy is socks made of natural cotton fibre work better in keeping the cold out, than those made of synthetic fibre. Remember this when you go shopping.
Another way to keep your big boy warm is to consider using thermal pants or Long Johns. Many times, these cover the feet too and can serve to add an extra layer.
For Girls
Girls usually have more pairs of footwear, which is often colour-coordinated with special outfits! If your daughter too has pairs like these, you can look for warm socks to go inside each kind of footwear. Colour-coordinate these with the footwear and outfit. Another idea you can try is to go for knee-high socks, especially to be worn with frocks and skirts. These will keep her feet as well as her legs warm. Leg-warmers are something you can consider too. These look trendy when paired with ballet flats or other slip-ons.
Finally, tights are a great option and can be worn in several different ways. You can use them to add an extra layer underneath jeans and pants, or even team them up with shorts and skirts. This way you can recycle her summer clothes in winter.
Feet often get neglected in our body-care routines. One of the best routines you can follow for your child, as well as for yourself, is to soak their feet in warm water at the end of the day, wash them clean, and apply a good moisturiser, before slipping on socks or indoor slippers. Keep your child’s feet warm to help them enjoy winter to the fullest!

A Mother's Journey as She Approaches the End of Her Breastfeeding Relationship
A Mother’s breastfeeding journey is a very personal and complex for each woman. As an expectant Mom my sister’s words often echoed in my ears ‘The first month is hell but if you get through it, it’s so worth it’. So I had some understanding of what was ahead of me but much like motherhood itself, the difficulties in theory and in practice are incomparable.
Having a planned C section due to a breach baby and low fluid levels, I did not naturally go into labour which lead to my body taking its time to catch up with releasing colostrum. Being wheeled into recovery to properly meet my baby girl an hour after she was born, I was terrified she would not latch but after a few seconds there she was, latched on and feeding for the first time! I was elated, I was filled with pure joy and pride! I could not believe how easy it was and jumping ahead I thought, this isn’t so hard? Well as the numbing medication wore away, so did my optimism. My hungry baby girl could certainly latch and on that first night she refused to settle in her crib so the nurse insisted she sleep with me in the bed as I was unable to get in and out of bed to lift her. My determined daughter latched on all night and anytime I moved away an inch she burrowed her way back to my nipple. This tiny ferocious feeder was determined to get my supply going and her natural instincts were strong. I now understand this but as a frazzled, sore and exhausted first time Mom I felt totally out of control. This pattern continued for the nest few night until my milk came in and she finally got a decent amount of milk at 4 in the morning 3 days later, she slept for two to three hours face nuzzled to my breast, content with finally tasting that sweet thick milk. The relief was intense as I dozed and got my first couple of hours sleep in 3 days. As the weeks went by and her constant feedings continued, my breasts were in a huge amount of pain, I felt so physically weak from this and the surgery and there were times I felt I couldn’t keep going but I did, my desire to breastfeed was strong and I replayed with sisters words in my head when times got hard.
After a month, just as she said the pain began to subside and we began a rhythm, my daughter and I. I started to see all the positives of feeding my baby girl, no bottles to sterilise, no scurrying around in the kitchen at 3 am. All I needed were nappies and a change of clothes on outings. I could comfort her at a moment’s notice. Our bond was undeniable and the feeling when she fed was amazing! There were many challenges as with any baby in the months that followed but I was so delighted I had persevered with exclusively breastfeeding and I was so grateful my milk supply was adequate. When I returned to work part time at 8 months post-partum, I continued to exclusively breastfeed as I pumped in work. Another achievement for me as I wanted to get to 12 months breastfeeding! It was not easy but again worth it to me and my daughter.
Now as my daughter is 13 months I am nearing the end of our breastfeeding journey and although I am proud of myself I still feel, should I keep going? Is this the right time? For many reasons it is and as the months went by at work my milk supply has decreased dramatically as pumping has never worked well for me. I am down to just a short night feed and she has taken to the cow’s milk very well. As my milk continues to decrease and I know I don’t have long before it fully dries up, I wonder how my baby girl will survive without her pre bedtime breastfeed and if she is upset with me? The mom guilt is real and I realise no matter how long I fed for I would feel this way. I am so grateful I was able to give me daughter a year of my milk and will always cherish the time, even the hard times but I just wish I was kinder to myself and was proud of what I achieved instead of looking at what more I could have done. My daughter is totally cherished and loved by me and her whole family and I have to remember this and as our final feeds approach I hope I can continue to provide her with warmth and love for the rest of my life.
