		<description><![CDATA[Babycenter posted an excellent article on &#8220;Ten ways to build your child&#8217;s self-esteem&#8221; in which it detailed simple strategies that each of us can use to boost our child&#8217;s confidence.

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>

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>
