Lesson taught by my son : FPG Diary

-
Dear Diary,

Sharing a lesson taught by my 10 year old son. Follow the conversation

Me: Son, should I put vegetable salad inside Bonn burgers buns for Tiffin?

Son: No , mummy ! Put salad in brown bread !

Me: taste is better in burger buns ! It's a healthy Tiffin.

Son: mummy our new Principal sister has come and she takes rounds during recess . If she sees burger buns: she will scold me for bringing junk food !.

Me: ok fine! As you say .

Then, my son speaks up :
Mummy , on one hand, our Principal sister says " don't bring junk food in Tiffin like burger, Maggie, pasta etc.......
On other hand : they r selling hotdogs, burgers, noddles in school canteen.

Isn't it contradictory?? Obviously it is !
Bringing home cooked burger/ pasta/ Maggie once in a while is always far more healthier ad my mom prepares with love and care !.

How can they sell junk food in canteen?
How come rules r different ?????????????

A big questioning look on my Son,s face !!!!!

I think for a while and reply: your observation is absolutely right ! I will try to communicate to school authorities amicably !

Pause .....

V resume our studies.

I think most parents must be facing such situation with realisation " our children r our teachers !!

Take care of yourself ❤️
Love,
Juju

ASD -The Ignored Ongoing Pandemic!

Attention Seeking Disorder! (The Ignored Ongoing Pandemic)   For many people, receiving some level of attention – to a greater or lesser degree, depends on one’s individual personality – is a basically pleasurable experience. In general terms, being noticed can instinctively make people feel good, as it provides us with validation. However, when a person constantly craves the attention of others, and that need is affecting their thoughts, decisions and behaviour, they may be dealing with Attention Seeking Disorder (ASD), a part of spectrum of Histrionic Personality Disorder. ASD is often viewed negatively, particularly when it comes from an adult. This affects relationships in all spheres – personal, professional and general. This stems from a range of factors, and can have a serious impact on the life of the person dealing with it, as well as those around them. Ask yourself, do you know someone who is constantly fishing for compliments, or feel the need for recognition in or

Mam ji! Are we dirty ?

Visit to slums is inspiring. The smile on little children’s faces and their eagerness to see new books is unmatched. My JRC Mobile library runs every week and caters to 3 evening schools and around 50 children. These children are getting used to the idea of issuing fancy, glossy books (primary education) and returning too. They wait eagerly for every Thursday evening for JRC mobile library. Today, I decided to go early with a friend on my two-wheeler. As I steered my two wheeler on a rough patch towards slums, we could see many small children running towards us smiling, cheering and shouting.” Good afternoon mam ji! Namaste mam ji”. There is one particular boy who always greets me with the brightest smiles and expresses his eagerness to study in the evening school. Every time, he tells the same story, his parents didn’t agree. Afterall begging is easier, hard work is less and earning more. Today he came and said, "Mam ji, I have got my Aadhar card and have enrolled in your e

The NEET Warrior

  "NEET Warrior" PS: This write up is dedicated to all the parents, teachers and students who have appeared for NEET or are preparing for NEET.   The answer key of NEET (National Eligibility Entrance Test) was released yesterday. I sent a congratulatory message to one of my colleagues. There was a prompt reply, " Score is less, hope to get admission in a private college."   Students who have scored high, or the students who have scored as per their expectation or those who have scored less, none seems to be satisfied with their performance in the exam. To keep the vibe positive, I replied “You are a parent of a NEET warrior. Salute your warrior.” The desired effect was palpable. To become a doctor in our country, one needs to appear for NEET, which is a merit-based exam. Out of more than eighteen lakh students who appear only eighty thousand or so are able to get a gate pass to enter this medical world. Students usually start from ninth class. Exceptions a
