6·26 Oct 2026·on Questions to ask before letting an 11 year old join a weekend nature-walk group

Bookmarking this, mine is only 4. Does anyone know of something like this for little ones where parents walk along? Our weekends are all indoor play areas right now ❤️

0·22 Oct 2026·on How long is the LKG day at Elate International, and do 4 year olds manage it?

Did you end up applying there or somewhere else? Our daughter is 4 as well and the Manikonda and Kokapet names keep coming up, but from the Somajiguda side it would mean a long drive every day.

0·28 Sept 2026·on Nanny gives our 2 year old a biscuit for every finished meal. Now she bargains

We had a version of this with chocolate at my mother's place. What worked was keeping the treat but moving it, so it came with the evening milk instead of after the meal. Same biscuit, no deal attached. Took about a week of protests. The nanny may even be relieved to have a simpler rule ❤

4·24 Sept 2026·on Where do parents wait during a Sunday exam at Aakruthi Techno School, Nagole?

I wrote these Hindi exams myself as a schoolgirl back in Kerala, and only the students went in, parents waited outside. Make sure she has the hall ticket and a spare pen, they were very strict about both. All the best to her!

4·17 Sept 2026·on Who does balcony safety grills around Kondapur? Our baby will be crawling soon

We put nets in when our daughter started pulling up, mostly because we rent and the owner didn't want anything drilled. Three years on they've held up fine, though the pigeons did find a corner to sit in. If you own the flat, the grill sounds like the better long-term choice. Either way, look at what's kept near the railing as well. Our actual problem turned out to be a big planter she could climb onto.

4·26 Aug 2026·on My son's first 'dada' happened during my morning standup

It counts! My daughter's first 'amma' was on a call with her grandmother, and we still tell it as the first one ❤

1·7 Aug 2026·on On stage at my school on Independence Day while my daughter performs at hers

This is such a good way to put it. At her last event my 3 year old only cared that someone waved back, and it happened to be her uncle ❤️

0·15 Jul 2026·on Younger one won't eat lunch unless his sister is at the table, and she gets home two hours after him

What about splitting it? A proper small plate at 1, just curd rice or dal rice, and then his 'real' lunch at 3 with his sister, whatever she's having. My daughter eats far better with company too, so I understand the pull. It sounds less like he's refusing food and more like he's refusing to eat alone, which is quite sweet really.

3·16 Jun 2026·on Four years of hostel, and now our daughter calls our flat 'your house'

This made me think of my 3 year old, who calls her preschool 'my school' and our flat 'Amma's house'. Apparently it starts early ❤️ The shelf idea is lovely though. Something that's hers to arrange is probably the whole point at any age.
