WHAT IS YOUR PARENTING STYLE?
Post Views: 528 We all believe in disciplining our kids. But the disciplinary method is just one aspect of the parent-child relationship. There are many other dimensions of parent behaviour that influence the child’s personality. Each parent has a distinct parenting style. S0me parents are loving and affectionate while some are hostile and rejecting and yet others, indifferent. Some parents are firm about rules, some are lax, and others are strict about them. By and large, the parenting style adopted by a parent is fairly stable over time and across situations. But this does not mean that the parent is inflexible. A parent who is usually strict about enforcing rules…

HOW TO BALANCE SCREEN TIME DURING THE PANDEMIC?
Post Views: 677 With the second wave encompassing our lives, the pandemic seems far from over. This has caused a jump in our daily screen time as social distancing limits our ability to physically interact and connect with people. For many parents, screen time is a touchy subject even in the best of times. Now, with parents and kids holed up together 24/7 and everything from school to birthday parties taking place online, it’s even harder to know how to put limits on your child’s screen time. The screen time concerns and their effect on children’s health were there even before the COVID-19 pandemic took off. But are screens inherently…

REVISED GUIDELINES FOR SCREEN TIME USAGE DURING PANDEMIC
Post Views: 765 The COVID-19 pandemic created a shift in the safety measures and how parents and caregivers think about children and screen time. This led to a revised guideline by the American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) on screen time use. The organization acknowledged screen usage has likely increased for children, but parents should ensure media use is positive and helps the family and community. Prenatal to Age 1: The World Health Organization (WHO) stated in 2019 that infants and toddlers under the age of two should not be exposed to electronic screens at any time.

DIGITAL DETOX FOR KIDS
Post Views: 1,233 A very common theme among parents these days is the concern over their children’s use of digital devices.

TEACHING CHILDREN ABOUT GENDER IDENTITY & GENDER DIVERSITY
Post Views: 835 By the end of toddlerhood, children can differentiate between men and women based on their external features like hair length, type of clothing, etc. They can also correctly tell whether they are boy or girl. This means that they have acquired gender identity. But they do not yet have a complete understanding of the concept of gender. One of the things they may not know is that gender remains constant over time. They may believe that they, as well as others can change their gender by wearing clothes and doing activities of the opposite gender. Developing the concept of gender is the realization that one stays the…

LACTOSE INTOLERANT? WORRIED ABOUT CALCIUM INTAKE?
Post Views: 993 We have grown up starting our day with a glass of milk. Our ancestors believed that consuming milk and milk products on a daily basis benefits our health in many ways. Milk and milk products are one of the main sources of calcium in our diet. Historically, dairy products were the predominant source of dietary calcium, accounting for 70% of calcium intake in the Indian diet. Today, however, dairy products account for a mere 40% of calcium intake, largely due to the popularity of dietary supplements and the declining intake of cow’s milk. Also, with increasing allergies and intolerances associated with milk and lactose (milk sugar), consumption…
