Dirt = Kids
They could be the synonyms since it personifies a carefree attitude while having plain fun.

Alas! This same kid when grown up, chooses to play foul games that are dingy, indecent, and illegal. In short, becomes dirty again!

Makes me wonder
Is this love for dirt life long?

Mantra for today: Let's clean up our acts before we get buried in the dirt!

Weapons and Kids

With the recent shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut, there have been concerns on how to raise awareness of this gruesome issue with the children.

Fear is usually inculcated in these innocent souls and parents and society is the number one reason to inflict it within them.

Recently a Utah kid took the gun to school saying that if such an intruder comes in, he could protect himself and his classmates.

First of all, How did the boy get access to a gun? What was going on in the mind of an 11 year old boy that he carried a gun to school?

However, it is pretty clear that when his parents told him about the incident, he was beyond terrified that he wanted to protect himself in school. Unfortunately, with the same weapon that took so many lives.

These children are blameless. They are exposed to the crime, and how they perceive it, can be clueless.

Parents should keep a close eye on their offspring's and check on their behavior after they are told the harsh realities of life. Some kids could take a positive stand but, there are some who could be negative about it.

Mantra for today: Innocence is valuable therefore, when destroyed should be kept an eye upon.

Are you a Rocking Parent?

Becoming a parent changes everything and it is difficult to put your kids priorities first especially if your schedule is so hectic, but mostly all parents sacrifice their career and make choices be with their kids.

So, are you a rocking parent?

It depends how we define rocking...some kids want their parents to be cool and supply them with the latest toys and gadgets, and thus the term cool and some kids prefer their parents to be there for them at every step of the way.

Such innocent children and how do they come up with their demands? Ever wonder?

It's what they learn and see in their surroundings such as home and community. Thus, making it extremely necessary to watch over them on what they are exposed to.

They absorb whatever is thrown at them and how they perceive their parents is dependent on it.


My kid's rocking definition changed every few years. Earlier, we were defined as rocking for being there for him all the time, then it changed when we started taking him to places that he had never been to such as museum, amusement parks. Rocking these days is when we indulge in his kinda activities such as running, playing baseball.

Next time, when you sit with your kids...ask them their definition of what makes you a rocking parent and you will be surprised at their thoughts.

Mantra for today: never under-estimate your toddler. They are always full of surprises.
