3·20 Oct 2026·on my 8 year old wants to cook dinner on saturdays. what can she actually make?

My 7 year old does bhel, and curd rice where I do the tadka. If she likes doing it alone, a picture card of the steps on the fridge helps a lot. Kids follow it without asking you every minute.

3·17 Oct 2026·on The class quiz leaderboard is the first thing my 9 year old checks every morning

Ask the teacher whether the class sees everyone's rank or only their own. A lot of these apps have that setting and teachers don't always know the public board can be switched off. Until then, maybe no checking before school. Mornings are hard enough.

4·24 Sept 2026·on Our class 2 son holds it all day rather than use the school toilet

Bottle comes back about half empty, so he's drinking some. I spoke to his teacher this morning about a quieter time, and she'll try sending him just before lunch. Will see how next week goes.

2·16 Sept 2026·on What do you do when one school's fee deadline comes before the other school's result?

Refund date, in writing. Good point. Will ask at the visit.

1·14 Sept 2026·on Considering Glendale in Tellapur for grade 4. How is the second language handled for joiners?

Also ask who does the catch-up: the language teacher, a learning support teacher, or the class teacher 'when time permits'. If it's the last one, in grade 4 with everything else going on, it rarely happens.

0·13 Aug 2026·on Class 1 homework now comes through an app, and it needs my phone every evening

We did the old-phone route for our son's school apps. Factory reset, no SIM, only the school app and the camera, and it charges on the dining table, not in his room. It has stayed a school phone for a year, mostly because it's too slow for anything fun 🙂 Switch off the app store on it, that's the main thing.

1·10 Aug 2026·on Class 2 teacher says he skips whole lines when reading aloud. At home he reads fine

Get his eyes checked before anything else. Small print, many lines, losing his place: worth ruling out vision or tracking first. Practice won't fix that. School screenings are quick and miss things.

4·4 Aug 2026·on Is the 'teacher said no homework' phase normal in class 2?

Him opening the diary himself, I like that. Tried it tonight. He opened it, read it, and said 'oh, THIS homework'. We'll see how long that lasts.

1·29 May 2026·on From grade 7 he wants to go by a short version of his name. His grandparents chose the long one very carefully

Teachers at my school usually go along with it if the child asks them directly. Most who switch at that age keep it for a year or two. A few keep it for life.

2·22 May 2026·on Partner wants to go back to the shop part-time in June and take our 4 month old along

My sister ran her boutique with her baby in a corner for almost a year. It worked till he started crawling. After that she needed a helper at the shop just for him, otherwise it was not work, only babysitting with customers watching. Plan for that point from the start.

1·7 Apr 2026·on Still worth asking Bhashyam in Malkajgiri about LKG this late in the year?

Rental agreement also, if you rent. Ours asked for the registered one, the notarised copy wasn't enough.
