3on Would a dad with a 1 year old be out of place in the colony's Sunday stroller walk?
Ha, good for you. Around 2008 I was the only father in my daughter's park lot in Chandanagar. First month they were polite, second month they were handing me their babies while they tied their shoelaces. You'll be fine. And take the snack advice seriously, it's not a joke.
0on Nursery at Jasrath Mission in 2027 if we move in with my parents near Charminar?
Grew up in the old city myself. Moving back near the parents for the kid's early years is what half my cousins did 😄 For the school part, go in person. In my experience the old city schools put the admission notice up at the gate before it shows up anywhere online.
0on Do you go around collecting your toddler's toys back from the bigger kids?
We wrote our flat number on everything with a marker. The bigger kids started bringing things back on their own because they could read it. Well, some of them. The four year olds could not read, obviously 😄 (Daughter is 19 now, so this is ancient history.)
My daughter's school went 'digital' when she was in class 3. For us it meant the homework diary moved to an app, which meant my phone in her hands every evening. Ask about that part.
0on Onam video call with my mother and my daughter needed me to translate
My daughter is 19, understands Urdu perfectly and can't read a word of it. We started her at 13 and it didn't stick with exams in the way. Earlier is easier, from what I saw.
2on Toddler won't get into our lift since it jerked once. We're on the sixth floor
Is it the movement he hates or the doors closing on him? Our daughter was terrified of the mall escalator at about that age, and it turned out to be the noise at the bottom, not the moving. Took us a while to figure that out.
0on vishwa shanti high school in ramanthapur, when do they take class 3 admissions
Ramanthapur is a long way from me, so nothing useful on the school. But class 3 is a decent time to switch if you're going to. Old enough to adjust, young enough that marks don't matter much yet. From what I saw with my daughter's classmates, the ones who moved early settled fastest.
0on Is Javid Mission High School in Falaknuma English medium in the early classes?
Falaknuma side has a few long-standing schools, and the people there will happily tell you their opinions :) Go at home time, wait outside and chat with a couple of parents. You'll learn more in ten minutes than from any website.
2on At 14 she wants to be a school teacher. The family keeps saying 'at least a professor'
If you need something to hand the relatives: a good primary teacher in a decent school isn't badly placed at all, there's the B.Ed route, and some colleges here run early-years diplomas now. A friend of my daughter's from school is going down exactly that road and seems happier than most of the engineers in their batch 😄 At 14 though, I'd just let her say it out loud without anyone grading the answer.
2on How much did the second move at class 3 bother families who chose SmartgenKids in Mayuri Nagar?
We're in Chandanagar, so not far from Mayuri Nagar. I've never been inside the school, but I'd think hard about the drive first. Jubilee Hills to Miyapur in the morning is a long one, and on days your partner isn't at the site, someone is still doing it.
2on Anweshini Grammar High School for class 9 if we move to the Karmanghat side next year
Our daughter changed boards for class 11, not 9. It was easier because everyone in junior college was new. In class 9 she'd be the new one in a class that has been together since nursery. Not a reason not to do it, just something to plan for.
0on Daycare wants her to have a 'comfort object' for the toddler room. She's never had one
Our daughter had a hand towel. A hand towel. We bought her three soft toys and she chose a towel from the bathroom rack at about one. It's still in her cupboard and she's in college. So, my vote: offer a few things and see what she picks. I don't think you can make it happen.
