Birthday celebration ideas during Covid-19

              Birthday celebration ideas during Covid-19 



Birthdays are the moments which we can cherish with our kids and their friends, of course family as well.When we think of birthday party, our imagination starts from pre -birthday shopping, gift, balloons, home decoration, dance, music, games, theme, cake, yummilicious food and ends up with return gifts.

But due to this pandemic, our children feels deprived of their friend’s company. Parents are bit cautious to call the friends of their children for the birthday party. They are still struggling for the ideas to make their little one feel special on that day. And sometimes, few kids do not understand the sensitivity of the situation. Of course, parents feel so helpless then. So we have to enjoy also but with utmost precautions. But the positivity is that, we should always learn from the situation, what so ever the time teaches us. 

Hereby, sharing you few ideas to make the day special for kids:

  • Prior to the birthday, do the shopping of the birthday dress for your kid at least a week before to ensure he/she can wear the same on special day.

                                 
  • Make an e-invitation card for his/her friends for e-party. You can attach the link of the images or videos of your kid.
  • Clean your house and decorate well with ribbons and balloons.


  • Cook your child's favourite food that day and bake the cake. You can also order that from outside if you have few reservations on that. I would like to share the recipe of simple sponge cake at home which my daughter likes :
INGREDIENTS:
175g softened butter, sugar and flour
3 medium eggs
1 tsp baking powder

                                        
                 

METHOD:
1. Mix together butter, sugar, eggs and beat until smooth and creamy.
2. Now mix the baking powder with the flour.
3. Now mix this flour with the butter-sugar-eggs mixture prepared earlier.
4. Take a bake can.Grease it with butter and put the mixture (prepared in step 3) in it.
5. Bake it in a medium oven for 25-30 minutes 
6. Cake is ready.Gentle take that out once it cools down.
7. You can decorate it accordingly, if you want. My daughter likes it simple and plain.And the cake is ready!

    • Take your kid and family for a long drive at a deserted place to ensure social distancing. Children love short trips especially when they are trapped in house during covid time.



    • In the evening, play your child's favourite music tracks.Send the Google meet invite to his/her friends to be present during cake-cutting ceremony. Try to connect with each and every friend of your child. Let them hang out on video call.This way they will not miss their friends. And a sense of companionship will still be there.


    • Finally, once they are done with their chat and call, say good-bye to them. Now, it's family time. Arrange the dinner and enjoy the food with birthday boy/girl with long talks.Mean while, it's time to give a birthday gift.


    • Don't forget to take pictures of the celebration.



    Let's make the party special no matter how hard the time is !

    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.

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. In simple terms, it means the usage of money further for getting income or profits. As a parent, it is our basic resp

    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

    How to make your child a keen reader

                           Reading at an early stage                                             In today's digital world when everything is available online, it is difficult to create a reading space for your child. 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. One thing to be noted - "A reader today, leader tomorrow".  So we can see there are many benefits to inculcate reading habits in your child. This habit will definitely make them land in their world of imagination.   I can say from my personal experience that reading makes a child, a creative thinker. My seven year old daughter developed this habit at an early stage. When she was almost two years, I introduced hard board books to
