1·7 Oct 2026·on 2 year old told her grandfather he was on mute. He wasn't.

Paavam doll. Mine tells her teddy 'let's take this offline' and puts it in the cupboard. No idea where she picked that up. Okay, some idea :)

6·15 Sept 2026·on How did you get evening calls moved during your child's half-yearly week?

From the school side, I see a lot of parents block the whole exam fortnight and then find the child only wanted them for two subjects. Ask her which papers she wants you for. Maths and science usually, no? Then ask your manager for those four evenings, with dates. A small specific ask goes through much easier than 'exam week' :)

2·19 Jul 2026·on Violin teacher wants our 7 year old to take a graded exam after one year of lessons

Exams give some kids a target and give others a reason to quit, so it depends a lot on her. One thing I'd ask the teacher: what gets dropped from her current lessons to fit the exam syllabus? If the answer is 'all the tunes she likes', wait a year. Grade 1 isn't going anywhere, illa?

0·11 Jul 2026·on everyone at the park has their 2 yr old in some class. she just wants the slide

I work in a school and see the 'classes since two' kids and the slide kids side by side in grade 1. By October you can't tell them apart. Our kutty is the same age and her only fixed activity is the evening walk to the bakery with me 🙂

1·3 Jul 2026·on Same Saturday art class for our 4 and 3 year old, and the younger one only copies his sister

Ask the teacher about separate tables before you split slots. A lot of teachers will happily seat siblings apart if you ask, same class, same trip. Our school's early years section does it with twins. En ponnu is 2 and copies the cat, so I have no high ground here 😄
