Keep your kid fit and happy this monsoon

By

After a hot summer we all wait for the monsoon(rainy season).The rains bring a welcome respite from the heat ,but along with this it brings waterborne diseases like cold,cough ,fever and many more illinesses.This keeps us worried for our kids who enjoy  the rain.Let the rains not dampen our kids spirit.                               Children enjoying the rain:- rain1      rain4          rain3   rain2           not on me

 

Tips to ensure a healthy monsoon:-

.Most of the monsoon diseases are waterborne.Make sure your child drinks plenty of boiled or mineral water.

.Give your child warm and freshly cooked home food.Avoid eating out in restarants-if you want to eat then choose one which is frequented,as you will not get stale food.

.Eating at vendors is also a bad idea,as there will always be lack of hygiene.

.Fruits and vegetables must be washed before eating.Already cut fruits or vegetables are not good to eat, they get spoiled.

.Wash your hands before eating and feet when you come from outside.

.Do not let your child wear damp or wet clothes ,this will make them sick.

I am not asking you to just stay indoors just be smart and careful.Stay indoors only if there is very heavy rain otherwise go about your normal  routine.We need rain to survive.

Message to parents

Hi mums and dads,

I hope you are enjoying  reading my blog “Impressionable Minds”.

I would love it if you write your comments on the blog,or better still share

your experiences as a parent.All the little comments your  tiny tots make.

Sometimes you begin to really think about what they say.Kids are innocent

and speak what comes in their minds.We should never under estimate our kids

We must respect their feelings and never scold or insult them in front of others.

Always remember each kid in  an individual withhis own traits and so we should try not to compare.

Each one has something special and deserves praise for it.

Be a happy family and share your joys and sorrows.Always be there for each

other.Life becomes very easy to live When we care and share.

 

A HAPPY FAMILY

A little note for you parents

Hi this blog is for your kids….but they need you to teach them small things in

life, the dos and don’ts, the good from bad and how to live life king size.

Being a parent and a teacher is not an easy job. I have been both. Remember

there is a learning in everything you do, never miss an opportunity to teach

your kids, enjoy them while you have them.They will grow up before you know.

I love kids and and want them to grow up into good human beings with simple

values which we will call MY PEARLS OF WISDOM .

Enjoy the blog ang share your  fun filled experiences with others. Remember

life becomes a lot easier to know you are not alone.
