Manners and Discipline

When children are born, they are like blank slates on which their parents' help to script the beginnings of the stories of their lives. Every child grows up and ultimately charts his own destiny, but his parents lay the foundation.More »
The Hyperactive Child
Shivani Goel describes her six-year-old son Arun as a 'human dynamo.' "He won't sit still for a minute. He's constantly up to some mischief." You can't expect children to be well behaved at all times. But if it's excessive, then your child may have Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHS).

Shyama Dalal was horrified when her five-year-old son, Vinay, called her a b----- in the middle of a routine argument. Four-year-old Sonu was engrossed in looking at colour photographs in a glossy. The picture was of a woman in the nude. His mother was visibly disturbed.

Chores and Housework
After years of having their parents pamper them, it comes as a rude shock to children that they're actually expected to pull their weight in the house.
