‘ Dont take people for granted.No matter how much they love you,people get tired eventually.’
Remember everyone likes to be thought about and appreciated for what they do.Remember the magic word -Thank You-.A smile and a hug to show you care.

Simple Reminders
Hi mums,
This section is for you.Simple things to remember and not take things for granted.Remember time waits for no one.We become so busy with our lives that there is really no time to think.Sometimes we work just like zombies,without thinking we just continue to work.Its really a good idea to just sit for a short while each day and just be there for yourself. What i am going to do is just write simple quotes i have read.May be you can use them to explain to your kids when you want them to do something.
‘If you dont go after what you want,you will never have it.If you dont ask, the answer is always no.If you dont step forward,You”re always in the same place.’
Nora Roberts
Isnt that a fact.Our aim should be to try always-try- something will always come out of it.
Remember try ,try and you will succeed.Never say no.
You just have to ask and move forward.Dont wait for things to come to you.You have to make the effort.
Joy of giving-Daan Utsav
The Joy of Giving week was launched in the year 2009.It is now celebrated every year from Gandhi Jayanti i.e 2nd october to 8th october .Indians from all over doing different kind of work get together to celebrate ‘giving.’ It is now called Daan Utsav.This week engages people through”acts of giving”.-it could be money,time,resourses and skills-spanning the big companies ,NGO and government sectors,schools ,colleges,and the general public.A simple aim of Daan Utsav could be to rally public support to bring about change.The contribution could be acts of kindness,contribution of time, money, clothes, toys, books.Just anything one wants to give to reach out to the less privileged.
I will put up some pictures for the joy of giving week:-

Note for you dear parent
School started in June and the new academic year is almost or I should say half over.Children right from the kindergarten are now into their daily school routine.These days the daily timetable of school going kids is as busy and rigorous as the back to back work of many company CEO’s. 
A very typical day of the child begins at 6.30/7am.The child is dragged out of his bed.He/she has many chores to complete -incomplete HW,a pending project-then getting ready with having to finish breakfast and running to catch the school bus.He /she also has to remember his/her tution class books as often they have to go for tutions straight after school.Many times the child has to go to the many activity classes that parents think will mould him/her into the Perfect Adult.On top of all this he/she has to be well behaved and follow rules and timings at home.Little do we realize as parents that maybe our kids would like to read,listen to music or maybe just sit by themselves.Without realizing we put so mush pressure on our kids that they no longer can take it.Some kids may then suffer from anxiety attacks,depression and turn aggressive and stubborn.Some kids may suddenly become disinterested in everything and their grades may fall.Thats when the mums panic button switches on.
Tutions 
Co-curricular activity-no free time
From art ,drama to music and computer-may be fun- but, tiring or maybe kids dont want to do these activities.
Read this poem:-
How happy am I when I crawl into bed-
A rattlesnake hisses a tune into my head,
A gay little centipede,all without fear,
Crawls over my pillow and into my ear.
But yet I am happy ,and live at my ease.
Oh,how I love my pillow,my dreams and my sleep.
We as parents dont leave any chance and want to train our kids in all activities so they can
be achievers at all they do.I think it is important to remember that every child is an individual
and is good at something.It is important to be happy and proud of what he /she can do and not
compare him with others his age. It is also important to remember that every child wants both time and
space for himself/herself.Respect that.Every kid wants to be an achiever and make us proud of him/her.Push them gently keeping in mind the child’s ability.Dont put pressure on them to preform.Learn to be happy with what they do,and express it to them.Teach them to never never give up and also to be satisfied and happy for others.
So cheers dear parents to happy parenting.Enjoy your kids growing up-be a friend but
remember to draw a line-you are his guide teaching him right and wrong,to think and become
independent and a caring human being.If we all try in our own little way imagine what this world would be like.
Happy Children
Something interesting from toi:-
Remember children are miraculous.Love them ,surprise them and most of all always be there for them till they need you.-Each child grows up into an independent individual at his/her own time.Also remember children like to be disciplined,you are their guide.
Water Conservation
Hi kids, Do you know how many seasons we have.That’s right-5-Winter,Spring,Monsoon,summer and autumn.Each season has something special and thats what our magical world is all about. From June to September we have the monsoon or the rainy season in India.We cant live without water.Our body has 75% water.The earth is covered 3/4 with water.We need water to drink ,to wash to clean.Plants need water to grow Everything around us needs water. Water cycle 
Our magical world 
We take water for granted.You know kids in many remote villages people have to travel many kilometers to collect water.With our careless attitude we cut trees to build houses,there is so much of industrial pollution that we are causing global warming.Our glaciers are melting fast.We are destroying our wonderful world. Almost every year the monsoon gets delayed and we face water shortage,but still we waste water.We take every thing we have for granted.We all can try to save water in our own small ways. 
Here is an interesting clipping from Times of India
Kids make your mum read this to you and ask her to explain.I am sure we can all do our little bit and save water.- Save our world
