Autism and Parenting stress

                                   Autism and Parenting stress  

                                       


No doubt, Parenting is a tough job today but parenting a child with autism is more challenging. A child's birth is the best thing that happens to parents. But no parent is ever prepared to hear that their child is diagnosed with this disorder.
 
Autism is a developmental disorder that damages the ability to communicate and interact. It is not a mental illness but a lifelong disorder. It can be caused by neurological or genetic factors. It impacts the overall growth of child in terms of cognitive, social or emotional behaviour. It is a quite challenging to handle the autistic child everyday for parents. It can take a toll on overall health of parents, i.e mentally as well as physically. Many parents think what will happen to their autistic child after them? who will take care of him/her?. All these questions keeps on digging their mind every time.

For all those unanswered questions, there is a solution.Few days back, I came to know about one such non-profit organisation called care4autism that works for the children and adults with autism and their residential facility called "Autism Ashram" or "Autism Friendly Village".

This is India's first exclusive residential facility in Hyderabad having a home, school for learning and therapies, vocational centre & hospital with permanent medical staff for those children/adults. Their parents can also stay with them but then they have to help the organisation in running the facility in the best possible manner and according to their life skills.

For more details, you can visit their website- https://www.care4autism.in/residential-facility.html

Remember one thing that "Kids with special needs are not weird or odd.They only want what everyone else wants. To be accepted"

How to teach financial literacy to Kids?

How to teach financial literacy to Kids? No doubt, parenting is a tough job but one or the other day we do that in our life journey. No one teaches us about that. It is the personal experience of one’s life. Similarly, our kids have to make basic financial decisions in their life at some point of time. They have to make wise investment decisions ahead to be successful in life. With proper skills and knowledge about how to use money wisely at a young age, they can have good financial success in their lives. Investing is one of the abandoned component in the school curriculum of our children. This means learning fundamental basics of finances by kids in terms of --- saving up allowances, controlling impulsive buys, finding ways to make money through chores etc Teaching English language is important and teaching financial language is as important as teaching English.

Importance of Nutrition in Kids

How to explain importance of Nutrition to kids In my previous blog, I have shared many things about positive parenting in modern era.Now a days, parents are bit sceptical how to introduce the concept of value of nutrition to their children as kids today are more interested in having junk food. Parents who make good  nutritional  choices for their kids throughout childhood assist in keeping childhood obesity at bay as well as other diseases that can develop in adulthood like hypertension, diabetes, and heart diseases.  Balanced and healthy  diet  strengthens your child's immune system, helps him or her maintain healthy weight, and aids in his or her brain and bone development.                                      What I feel is that value of Nutrition should be introduced to the kids at an early childhood stage so that they can learn sharing and socialising skills along with good eating habits .Proper and  balanced nutrition makes them mentally and physically sound as they can perfo

Reading is important for emotional and intellectual development of the child. There is a very famous saying, "Books are the best friends". No doubt in that. Reading on regular basis helps in following ways: Builds imagination in the child. Improves vocabulary and better comprehension. Develops concentration. Sparks creativity.

My seven year old daughter developed this habit at an early stage. When she was almost two years, I introduced hard board books to
