Happy Father's Day 2023!!
Someday I will find my Prince, but my Daddy will always be my King.” So true, so cute, and so very innocent. Isn’t? I found this beautiful quote while exploring the greeting cards section in my local store. Father's Day in the United States is the third Sunday of June. It celebrates the contribution fathers and father figures make to their children's lives. Today, at Mother’s Gurukul podcast, let’s celebrate Father’s Day!!
I was curious to know more about Father’s Day, and I found something interesting. ‘A woman called Sonora Smart Dodd was an influential figure in the establishment of Father’s Day. She is also recognized as the mother of Father’s Day. Her father was a civil war veteran who raised six children by himself after the death of their mother. This was uncommon at that time, as many widowers placed their children in the care of others or quickly married again. Sonora was inspired by the work of Anna Jarvis, who had pushed forMother’s Day celebrations. Sonora felt that her father deserved recognition for what he had done. The first time Father’s Day was held in June was in 1910. President Nixon officially recognized Father’s Day as a holiday in 1972.’

Why do children lie, and practical ways to control it.
Have you ever heard parents teaching their children to lie? Or able to control their reaction or response when they find out about the lie their child has said? Picturize a face of a child with a mouth covered with ice cream, and they are trying to wipe it off while telling us that they haven’t eaten anything. I am sure it must have brought a smile to your face. Children typically begin lying in preschool ages during 3-4 ages. Something that starts humorously take the form of big lies. May be because they think this is an easy way to save themselves. Or they must have seen their elders doing it. Or perhaps some other reasons. So, let’s talk about why they lie and how we can control that.
How to encourage them to tell the truth?
1. When teaching kids about behavior, role modeling
2. Help them not take help of lying for their actions.
3. Praise them for taking ownership if they have done anything wrong.
4. We don’t have to overreact.

Happy Women's Day!!
While I was compiling my thoughts about today’s episode, once again, I had the same thoughts. If you have been following Mother’s Gurukul Podcast, you must have listened to it. And if you are new here, feel free to check out that episode.

So today, instead of talking about this day, I decided to share a short poem I came across today. The last four lines stole my heart. I picked this poem because it describes not just a woman's compassion, pure heart, and tolerance but also talks about her beauty in a different way. I hope you will also enjoy it as much as I did reading and narrating it.

How to bring positivity in your life whenever you want?
How beautiful and blessed our life will be if we can bring positivity in our life whenever we want? Good news is - it is doable. We all are capable of bringing this change in our lives. With a slight change in our attitude, we can experience this beautiful and a much-needed change whenever we want and in whatever we do. Things like growth mindset, visualization and self- realization makes the process easy and fulfilling. Let’s talk about it in this episode. How to bring positivity in your life whenever you want?
I do not make new year's resolutions; I promise myself to develop good habits!
Change is the deepest dream of the human heart. We’d all like to become someone new.
The first word that comes to mind is resolution whenever we talk about welcoming New Year or saying bye to the past year. Somehow, I never felt any connection or excitement in this word. I do believe in change or exciting things. But this word puts me under pressure.
Then what do I call them? I call it promises. Do you make NY resolutions? Or you are like me? Let me tell you why I do not make new year's resolutions; I promise myself to develop good habits!
5 steps to develop good habits:
First, we have to Define the person we want to become
Then we have to Create the right environment for it.
Now is the time to Start with the two-minute rule: If following the new habit, even for two minutes, seems complicated, it needs to be broken into mini-habits.
Focus on daily success: Every small step towards your new habit is an achievement. Do not ignore them.

Positive Aggression (for achieving our goals)
Aggression is often considered as a negative emotion. Sometimes out of aggressive behavior, kids pick verbal, physical, and emotional fights. They are constantly trying to overpower other people in one way or another, as if being aggressive is the only way they know how to be, as if being aggressive gives them a sense of being alive, of feeling real.
But there is something called Positive aggression which can be a good trait when it comes to achieving our goals. It is crucial because it can help people understand that when a person says “no” or “I want”, it does not mean selfishness or being offensive. Instead it is all about standing up for themselves. Negative aggression is unfriendly and unhelpful. On the contrary, positive aggression is friendly and helpful. When we want to achieve our goals, we have to say no to many unwanted distractions or clarify our needs, and what matters to us.
Lunch box notes - What do you think about them?
At Mother Gurukul Podcast, I always look for topics that will make our parenting exciting and less stressful. One strategy, I have been following and that might work for you is - using lunch box notes. You don’t have to be a writer to send your love through these lunch box notes. Try to be spontaneous and authentic.
Parents can have different views about this topic. I would like to know your thoughts and I will share mine in this episode? In this episode, I have three guest who have volunteered to share their views about LunchBox Notes.

Why being selfish is a good thing?
I am sure you would agree that we often end up doing a few things we don’t want to do. For example, we have to go to a place we don’t like to go, or we agree to things we don’t want to. We are doing it to please our friends or to maintain our friendship with them. But, what about our happiness? We hardly think about it. And that’s where we make mistakes.
Why don’t we think about ourselves? Do we believe this as an act of selfishness? May be yes, but what’s wrong with that? Lets talk about it today in this episode.

First time at Mother's Gurukul Podcast - four book recommendations from my bucket list
Books have always been a part of my life. But, my work at KukuFm has given me enough chances to explore the self-help genre I will talk about a few books I read in the last couple of months. And I feel fortunate to compile them in an audiobook summary format. These audiobooks summaries are in Hindi and Marathi. The Secret: The Science and Art of Self assurance by Rhonda Byrne Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins No Excuses! The Power of Self Discipline By Brian Tracy The Confidence Code by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman

Curiosity - a desire to know the unknown
In order to expect a change, we need to have curiosity. We need to have the urge to learn new things, unfold new concepts and expand our understanding. And this is possible only when we have an attitude which says – “I don’t know but I want to find out.” We have to let go the fear of failure, discomfort, and may be embarrassment. We will talk all about it.
"Curiosity is the entry point to many of life’s greatest sources pf meaning and satisfaction."- Todd Kashda

Transformational Vocabulary
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their choices are truly endless" Have you heard about Transformational Vocabulary before? If you have, I believe you must have used it and seen its positive effects. If not, then I am sure that you will start practicing it after listening to this episode. As the term suggests, transformational vocabulary is nothing but a change in our vocabulary. In this, we consciously use our words to improve and change our life. For example, we often use words when referring to someone like “that experience has transformed him/her into a completely new person.” Or “this new look transformed you.” So, we all have some idea about the word transformation. Now let’s see how we can incorporate it into our behavior. It is not limited to just parenting. We can use it in our day-to-day conversations. Not just this, we can also practice it for ourselves and others. Transformational Vocabulary gives you the power to change your experiences in life by lowering the intensity of negative emotions to the point where they no longer control you. Lets see how.

Let's avoid these four Cs in parenting and be a better parent
Today let’s not talk about what to do. Let’s talk about what to avoid. Because that will make our parenting better. There are four Cs that we should avoid in parenting? They are Criticism, comparison, competition, and control. These are powerful words. We all know that we should not be using them. But when we are upset, our state of mind overpowers our mature thinking. How can we control ourselves? Avoid the four C’s of parenting.

How to make the storytelling session a fun and engaging experience for kids?
Has it ever happened to you when your kiddos don’t want to read from the book? Instead, they want you to narrate them a story. Well, it happens with me many times. And I enjoy it as much as I enjoy reading from a book. In fact, I take this as an opportunity to convey some important lessons to him in the form of a story.
But it is not the same for many. Not everyone is always up for creating on-the-spot stories. But, I feel we all have a storyteller within us. Sometimes, it takes the back seat in the presence of other fancy and easily accessible resources. So, why not wake up that storyteller. Let’s see how to make the storytelling a fun and engaging experience. .
So, lets see how to do it
1.Bring your characters to life
2.Use that day’s happening to build as the story
3.Add a few personal elements into the story
4.Let your children complete the story
5.Maintaining an eye contact
6.Let them ask questions
7.Ending is important

Step Ladder Approach to Anxiety
In this episode, we will be talking about the Step ladder approach. As the name suggests, the step ladder approach is a gradual exposure technique to help people of all ages conquer their fears and tackle problems they previously perceived as overwhelming.When we experience anxiety, we feel overwhelmed, even in simple situations. As parents, we try to help children conquer some of these moments. It’s one of the ‘behavioral’ components of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and it’s helpful to know about when encouraging your child to address their fears. We will talk more about it in this episode.

Fear : How to help your children deal with their fear?
Fear is there within us. No one has ever taught us how to be fearful. And there is nothing wrong with that. It is one of the 9 emotions we are born with. But when this emotion starts showing its signs more often and affects our day-to-day life, then that is when we need to take necessary actions.
It happens with kids a lot. Quite often you must have heard them saying, I am so scared for my tomorrow’s exam. We keep telling them not to worry. They will be fine, but still, they are not able to relax their mind. And if, by any chance, their exam doesn’t go very well, then it becomes a permanent feeling that I am not good at this subject and I will never be good at it. Before our child reaches this point, we should take care of it. But how?
- Don’t lie about your own fear
- Validate your child’s feelings by acknowledging it
- Never put a child down for their fear
- Touch therapy
- Be supportive but don’t go overboard
- Step ladder approach

Want to raise an emotionally healthy teenager? This one thing you shouldn't be doing
We, as parents, love to give directions. But they, as children, don’t like those directions. Now, there is a clash; there are arguments, disagreements, and emotional outbreaks. How to handle all this? Should we stop giving them directions? Then how they will learn what is right and wrong? Well.. wait. First, take a pause, take a deep breath. And think- as kids, did we like directions? We say parenting is challenging; we say parenting has changed. Then how can we hold on to the old parenting style?
What’s that one thing you should’t be doing? - Don’t dictate, guide them.
-Negotiating works better than dictating
-Make it their idea
-Ask questions instead of imposing your views
-Avoid judgments and encourage pushback

How to wake up feeling motivated every single morning
Before Covid hit us, we were in a perfect routine. Our routine was well-planned. But with online studies and work from home, our routine underwent many changes. There was no morning school or office rush. Our life was going at leisure. But when this situation wasn’t coming to an end, our so-called relaxed routine started to make us somewhat lazy. Many have experienced lethargy in their routine, work getting piled up as there is no deadline. Here I am talking about personal work. Many have joined online fitness classes and promised to continue practicing the exercises after the class duration is over. But something was lacking. It was the motivation to do it regularly.
1. Please don’t consider it a task.
2. Don’t stress out too much.
3. Make it casual.
4. Have something to motivate yourself
5. Change your self-belief
6. Don’t stay up late
7. Just start

Why am I proud to be called a mommy blogger?
“I am a blogger” – I get mixed reactions when I say that I am a blogger. Some ask me genuineand meaningful questions like my profile as a blogger, how I got into this field, how I get paid, etc. On the other hand, some people convey with their eyes that it is not a big deal and I am doing it as a pastime. . I don’t remember if I have ever talked about why I chose parenting and lifestyle as my niche or my personal growth from being a blogger/influencer? So, let’s have a candid conversation today.
Who am I - parenting and lifestyle clogger or a mommy blogger?
I started with parenting as my niche because I was experiencing it when I stepped into blogging, but with time, I also explored other areas like fitness, mental health, and lifestyle.
What pushed me more towards parenting?
Parenting can feel like a lonely journey sometimes, even when you know so many others who have been and are in the same shoes. We look for inputs, suggestions, and quick fixes. Other resources can help moms in answering their questions. I decided to share my real-life experiences – from the complex challenges to the joyful moments that make up modern-day motherhood.
Did mommy bulging contribute to my personal growth?
1. It made me a better version of myself.
2. My approach towards people’s questions has changed.
3. It has broadened my thinking.
The shift I have seen in reader's patience and receptiveness:
From time to time, we see Instagram or social media influencers coming into the picture. It quickly grabs viewer’s attention. But traditional blogs have once again gained popularity as more moms are looking to connect and find community.
Request to all mommy bloggers:
In order for others to take you and your work seriously, first you have to take it seriously. If you treat your work as a hobby, it will treat you the same. If you takeout seriously, then you will see the results.

How to define healthy boundaries and follow through the consequences?
It is good to be a crowd-pleaser but not on the cost of compromising with our self-respect of preferences. So, how to define boundaries? And handle its consequences. Yes, I said consequences. Creating healthy boundaries is empowering. But when we implement internal and external boundaries, it wil come as a surprise to the people around us. Initially, they may not take it seriously.

Why do we need boundaries in the first place?
Let’s talk about boundaries today. What are boundaries? Boundaries show where one thing ends, and another begins. They are the limits that you put in place to protect your well-being.
Boundaries can be internal and external. Internal boundaries are those which we make for ourselves. And external boundaries are those which we make for others. It also deals with our private and public image. Lately, there have been several talks about mental health. Boundaries play a crucial role in our mental health. Let’s take this as a base for understanding the boundary concept.

The three magic words that can make a big difference in someone’s life
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." -Mother Teresa
After all, we need such words to keep going, find happiness around us and spread joy among the people around us.It is hard to believe that we have been living through the coronavirus pandemic since the early days of 2020. For many, these past few months feel more like a decade. As communicators, though, we know that meaning is conveyed not just in what you say but in how you say it.

Why and How to Incorporate Music into Kids Routine
For children, their introduction to music begins way before s(he) comes into this world. The moment a baby is conceived, there are waves transmitted to the fetus. When the mother talks or humm or is listening to any music, the baby also feels the vibrations. That is why it is always advisable for the mom-to-be to listen to soothing music. We moms experience the movements of our babies when we listen to different kinds of sounds. The formal introduction happens when they come into the world. Even an infant can differentiate between high and low pitch. Parents often make different sounds to create some instant music. Let us see why and how to incorporate music into kids routine.

Positive Effects of Music: How can something intangible be so powerful?
Music is a fundamental attribute of the human species. You turn on your favorite song, and you automatically start humming or singing. Music instantly improves our mood and mind state. If we are upset with something and hear some soothing music, how quickly do we feel better? It doesn’t happen without any reason. Research has found that when we listen to music, it triggers a release of Dopamine – a naturally occurring happy chemical to the brain. Now Dopamine is not only released during peak musical moments but also when we anticipate those moments.
The human brain and nervous system are hard-wired to distinguish music from noise and respond to rhythm and repetition, tones and tunes. How can something intangible be so powerful?

Noticing can deepen the relationship with your child
Noticing can deepen the relationship with your child. Our parenting mindset has the power to influence our feelings and actions. Noticing them, or being noticed by them is a part of parenting. The more we notice each other’s traits, appreciate them, suggest some corrections in them, the better it will be to understand each other.
