Learn to hear 'NO'!

Yesterday, Dhruv went to market to buy groceries.. Outside the store, he noticed a little boy, hardly five years old, standing with packets of chips and a small board that said they were being sold for Rs 10 for a Scouts charity fundraiser. People were walking past him. With the innocence and confidence of a five-year-old, he would approach them one by one: “Would you like to buy a packet?” Some bought. Many smiled and politely said, “No, thank you.” But the little boy did not look disappointed. He simply smiled, turned to the next person, and tried again. Dhruv stopped and bought a packet from him. The boy smiled brightly and said, “Thank you!” Curious, Dhruv asked him, “How many packets do you still have to sell? And how long are you going to stay here?” His answer was something Dhruv—and perhaps all of us—will remember for a long time. “Till 100 people say NO to me.” Dhruv was surprised. The teacher standing beside the boy then explained: “It is not important how many packets he sells. What is important is that he learns, at this age, how to hear ‘NO’… accept it… and still have the courage to ask the next person.” What a lesson! We spend so much time teaching our children how to succeed. Study hard. Come first. Win the competition. Get selected. Achieve more. But perhaps one of the greatest gifts we can give them is to teach them how to fail. How to hear NO without losing confidence. How to face rejection without feeling defeated. How to fall without being afraid of getting up again. How to understand that one rejection does not define their worth. Because life will not always say YES. There will be examinations we don't clear, opportunities we don't get, interviews we don't crack, relationships that don't work, and dreams that take longer than expected. Success makes us happy. But learning how to handle failure makes us strong. That little five-year-old was not standing outside Costco merely selling chips. He was practising courage. He was collecting “NOs.” He was learning resilience. He was preparing for life. Maybe instead of asking our children only, “Did you win?” we should sometimes ask, “Did you try again after you failed?” Don't raise a child who is only prepared for success. Raise a child who is not afraid of failure. Sometimes, 100 NOs can teach you more than one YES.❤️🪴

Encourage children to discuss 'Physical changes during puberty'!

Teenages feel shy and parents also feel hesitant to openly discuss the changes happening in the body of children when they hit puberty. The phase in the life of children when they undergo a process of various physical changes, emotional advancements, and mental developments. This is the phase when they are prepared to enter into teenage (tweens to teens) or maturity. Most of the teenagers are scared and lost when these changes begin. As they are unaware whom to approach and whom to discuss with. Experiencing these physical and emotional changes so rapidly and in isolation can create anxiety, stress, and if not addressed even depression could be the leading outcome. Parents should make sure they make these topics quite normal at the dinner table to let the children open up and talk about the changes as and when they happen. And parents can play an important role in ensuring their kids are confident to talk to their parents, feel comfortable putting forward the weird questions they have, and should feel confident while receiving advice from their parents. Overall, parents should convey these sensitive yet crucial topics with immense confidence, honesty, and positivity. Making their kids believe that these physical and emotional changes are normal and everyone at this stage of life goes through them

Robert Edwards made possible - Baby thru IVF!

Edwards developed the culture techniques that allowed a human egg to be fertilised outside the body for the first time in 1968, then spent years refining the process with Steptoe, who retrieved eggs from patients unable to conceive naturally. Their perseverance, against professional hostility and public scepticism, culminated on 25 July 1978, when Louise Brown was born at Oldham General Hospital the world's first baby conceived through in vitro fertilisation. That single breakthrough opened the door to parenthood for more than four million families worldwide. In 2010, Edwards was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for a discovery that began as a rejected idea and became one of the great medical achievements of the twentieth century. See less
