Hidden Treasures
Earlier today, I was helping Khushi get ready for school when we began talking about Disneyland.  Now, typically, when we talk of any thing that costs a lot of money, I try to bring in the message that, if we really want something and it costs a lot, we can buy it if we [...]]]></description>

It still takes us by surprise that, somewhere in the past one year, his vocabulary shot up so suddenly and significantly that most folks who meet [...]]]></description>

A little background before this post:  My mom &#8211; the kids&#8217; Dadi (i.e. grandma) &#8211; lives with us.  She is more than 70 years old and is often forgetful of things that were told to her not so long ago.  One day, on returning home from work, I learned from Khushi that Dadi [...]]]></description>

Growing Up&#8230;
I&#8217;m one of those parents who believes that children should grow up and be whoever they want to be, irrespective of how their parents feel about what they are capable of.   I also find it fascinating to observe how a child&#8217;s mind develops with age and how his/her aspirations change with time.  That is [...]]]></description>

Navigation
Khushi loves to be a navigator when we&#8217;re in the car, and often provides us with directions based on what she sees the indicator lights do!  As always, I try to encourage her efforts whenever possible&#8230;
One day, as my wife was backing the car into our parking slot, Khushi started voicing helpful directions asking her [...]]]></description>

When my book on parenting was first published, all my near and dear ones insisted that &#8220;I should do another one for Kabir too!&#8221;  And, my reaction was : &#8220;It&#8217;s not the writing that&#8217;s tough, it&#8217;s the &#8216;getting published&#8217; part!&#8221;  But, the fact remains that writing [...]]]></description>

Simply the best!
One day, at the dining table, Khushi decided to share her learnings on shopping&#8230;
Khushi: You know, Papa, I saw some ads on TV that showed three Barbie sets.
Papa: Really?!
Khushi: And you know, what?  It is now possible to buy them!
Khushi: When you buy something, you should only buy the best&#8230; like I bought [...]]]></description>

Un Behaved!
Kabir had just done something adorable, and I couldn&#8217;t help but mention it to Khushi who was sitting right across me. I was soon to be reminded that she had her own special relationship with him&#8230;

Khushi: Yes, papa. But, sometimes Kabir is also a little not sweet and [...]]]></description>

God Almighty!
Being born in an inter-religious family, Khushi has been exposed to practices and concepts from multiple faiths.  However, each night, she says a small prayer to Jesus asking Him to bless all at home.  One day, at dinner, I took the oppportunity to test her understanding&#8230;
