Childhood is a bliss and if you get to experience it all over again with the tiny version of you growing up then it's truly ecstatic!

I'm not a child expert or a child psychologist; I'm just a mother who speaks from heart and love to share my experiences on the this journey of motherhood. Today, on the occasion of Children's Day, here's how I have tried to rekindle the child in me over the years. 😊
Well, long story in short, I'm much obsessed with all the adverts on baby stuff and I still remember shopping dozens of hairbands when my baby was just 2 months old and hardly had any strands of hair on her head. I didn't stop only at the hairband, but the obsession was for the matching footwear too with every outfit, although she could hardly walk and every other toddler item I came across.😂

Then came the playgroup phase at the age of 1.5 years (yes, we enrolled her at 1.5 years...so officially we have enjoyed three blissful years of PG) and I just love the way these play groups engage kids through various activities and day celebrations these days. More than the child, I as a momma has always been excited with every celebration almost very week and have literally gone form pillar to post to arrange all the matching outfits and accessories simply because I personally enjoyed doing it in spite of the hectic schedule and it was therapeutic for me! :)

Lessons Learned:
- Be a kid with kids...it's fun!
- Get actively involved in their activities...it makes them feel happy and valued.
- Be encouraging always...it lifts up their spirit.
- Don't criticize everytime...it lowers their morale.
- Never criticize in public, it's humiliating for the child and they might start hating you and might slip into depression.
- Develop a habit of bedtime moral stories...curious young minds learn well through stories.
- Show them your love through daily hugs and kisses...it releases love hormone oxytocin. (Refer the Love Hormone-oxytocin post in the Parenting & Motherhood section of this page.)
Happy Children's Day to all Big and Small out there! :)
