Mamma Perfectionist in a trouble

Shanaya was pleased to see her mother when she arrived to stay back with her for a week.  After hugging her Shanaya tears dropped, this was unusual as Shanaya and her parents lived in same city and would meet often.  Shanaya’s mother Madhulika sensed something was not right with her daughter. Madhulika was a lady with a strong aura and was leading professor of soft skills before her retirement.

Shanaya’s son Yuvin made Madhulika visits her daughter more often these days, but this visit was not for Yuvin it was for Shanaya, as she could make out that Shanaya is worried over something and was not sharing. Madhulika was waiting for the right time to talk to her daughter.  Shanaya very carefully prepared meals for her 15-month-old toddler and instructed her helper for each task with minute details. Her mother knew how perfectionist is Shanaya but some thing was taking toll on her.

When Yuvin was taking afternoon nap Shanaya sat with her mother to chat and simultaneously switched on laptop to book tickets and hotels for their upcoming vacation with her son for the first time after Yuvin was born.

Madhulika asked Shanaya, “What happened Sanu”, she called Sanaya Sanu with love.

Shanaya took few seconds and said “Nothing Ma”, and peeped into laptop with more confusion.

Appreciation & Its Magic : #ParentingMantra

Parenting starts with this little gesture, yes ‘Appreciation’ which makes a child stands out with confidence.

Saying good words and sharing them with everyone is a good habit, which parents can instill in a child. The tender heart lits up when we tell them that they have done something great. It’s not necessary to gift a child expensive items but a pat with a smiling face can do wonders.
