Exams! The word as defined by the dictionary means “an important test of your knowledge, especially one that you take at school or university.” But ask any child or for that matter even a parent what it means, and the answer will probably translate to ‘unparalleled stress!’ While examinations maybe meant for the sake of

I keep meeting parents and teachers regularly who have to deal with teenagers on a daily basis and I feel that they don’t do justice to them as they all become so judgmental about their actions. They ill-treat the teenagers and at times I am shocked to see their reactions to a normal teenage outburst or an argument. They simply

The famous African adage, “It takes a village to raise a child” couldn’t have been closer to the truth. Just one look at your child’s life indicates the number of people who influence his or her life on a daily basis. Of course parents play a major role in their child’s life, especially in the

Typical of the family weekend ritual, we had just returned from our jaunt at the neighborhood mall, after some fun, food and of course some retail therapy! But while the three of us, i.e. my husband, my one year old daughter and me, were happy with the way we spent our evening, my son was

I am a teacher and this profession has been my passion from the past 15 years. My son Shayon is 19 years old and studies at the same school I teach at. My experience as a teacher has helped me understand that he is an average student, capable of securing 60-70 per cent and this

Just fresh from sharing my thoughts in a blog on the importance of emotional intelligence, I found it difficult to resist a colleague’s sarcastic remark to another, about how she was being ‘a baby’ in expressing her grief through tears, about not having done enough for a client who had terminated his services with our
