5 qualities you can work on to get a smoother parenting experience : 1. control over your emotions: Understand that Child's emotions is triggering your ego. Not the child. If the child is laughing that's not going to make you angry. The child's tantrum , crying, anger, screaming . That's triggering you. So keep the child and it's emotion separate. 2. See child as separate individual: Child is yours. Agreed. But the child is still another human being. So don't take it personally when the child throws a tantrum or cries or says I don't want to do my homework. The child is a developing human being. They need to have their own boundaries, they need to learn to say No, they are fully capable of denying to do something, 3. Be aware that you have an inner child in you. Now why are these big emotions triggering you? Maybe your big emotions were not allowed to be expressed when you were a child. Maybe you were asked to not cry. Maybe you didn't get an apology from anyone like me. So always keep in mind that it's that hurt inner child that can get upset or angry and don't let that child to take your parenting decisions. You'll need to become an adult during that time. 4. Understanding that you're an Imperfect parent. So much of laundry to do and you're being such a nuisance ! Ugh. Why is my life likw this We're used to such statements by our moms so there's a good chance we would do the same. We need to understand that no matter how much work we do, outside the house or inside they'd still be work left. We can never ever ever ever ever ever be perfect! 5. Being Kind to Yourself We're all a work in progress. I'm not perfect . I shout and yell too when I'm overwhelmed. I don't hit my child that's something I could do only cos a gentle parenting class I attended when my child was really young.. Books helped me too.. So it's not about the child. It's about our growth and evolution as better people Mindfully consciously we can all parent. So are these 5 points going on in your lives ? Let me know in comments on youtube or my insta feed. Sending a lot of love and healing to all of you. remember we are all a Work in progress! Swati Jagdish psychologist

Pallavi Barnwal (Intimacy coach) shares her story about being in a Sex less marriage and what couples need to consider to not end up in this situation. A Beautiful, bold conversation that you'll learn a lot from.. Sexless marriages refer to relationships where intimate physical activity, particularly sexual intercourse, becomes infrequent or nonexistent over a prolonged period. The absence of sex in a marriage often leads to feelings of frustration, loneliness, or emotional distance between partners. However, it can also be a result of personal choices or evolving priorities, such as focusing on career, children, or non-sexual aspects of the relationship. Despite the challenges, some couples in sexless marriages may find ways to maintain strong emotional connections and satisfaction through other forms of intimacy, while others may seek therapy to address underlying issues.

Children touching private parts & Anxious parents! This is most common sex ed question i get. So answer to the question : Yes it is perfectly ok. Because they are private parts to you and the society ! Not to them. For them it is JUST THEIR BODY!! They have curiosity about how ever part of their body works and just like exploring their legs by trying to walk and exploring their hands like trying to grab they explore their genitals too. Distract them if they do it but always have conversations about why it's important to touch only in privacy. And how others, adults or other children should not touch it. Talk regularly about safety and body boundaries too. Later they'll understand it is a private activity and won't do it in front of you. Make sure you are consistent With these conversations and never shame them when they explore their body! And since this is not the only sex ed concern parents have and this is not the only embarrassing situation they need to handle, learn it all in my sex Ed workshop for parents THE REAL TALK available on my app in 3 languages !
