Good habits for kids is essential for our kids today. What kind of nerves that send sensation to the brain of a child of 12 months old. I had experienced for the first time in my life. Being a literary blogger I was not convinced that handling a baby at home is not only a difficult task but understanding them is a bigger part. When we feed the child apart from mother’s milk, they soon become familiar with types of food and taste. And such one of the things recently had happened to me when I visited a shopping mall with my wife and 12 months old baby daughter.

What is Essential for Good Habits for kids today?

Since I do not stay at home in the afternoon, I was unknown about most of the activities. And our neighbours take her to their house for a bath and lunch. They live with an elder son, and one younger son lives away in Ahmedabad. They love her so much and feed her from fruits to Daal-Rice. We never restrict my daughter taking her to their house, and now she has become a piece of their life. Whenever we go to our native place, they keep calling us and talk to my daughter through a video-call.

What Food a Kid Needs?

At the age when she was 6 months old, she was getting all the kinds of fruits in her lunch, and thus she got a taste of fruits like Apple, Kiwi, Strawberry, Grapes etc. That day when we were going shopping in the mall, she was on the trolley enjoying watching different people, smiling looking at the different faces, children, babies etc. First, we had started the clothes department, we brought curtains and a few floor mats. Then headed to supper market things, Sugar, Rice, Salt, Wheat, Soup, Oil etc. and then lastly we appeared into Vegetable and Fruits department.

Think before Incorporation of Good Habits for Kids

We had seen many children under the age of 2 years with their parents in that section and few were still buying. We passed through a bunch of Apples, and she saw it. When we were going away from the Apple stall, every step of her ahead she couldn’t take away her glance from it. When she got to know that we are going away and away only then she cried louder. It was then we got to know that she wants Apple, she was trying to jump within a second and was not giving a chance is for taking a turn. My wife holds her into her arms, and we reached near the bunch. Before I could take them for weight, my daughter held my wife’s hair, gave a few scratches on her cheek.

You are the One (Parents) If, Who was the First Culprit to Your kids

I got 1 kg and gave one to her, she did not allow for a wash either. I shocked surprised completely that she was so crazy for it and buzzed almost the entire floor with her strong voice. Many of them were laughing at her and some got irritated. The market staff allowed our baby to eat inside the mall. Then we headed to the Electronic section. We had placed her again on the trolley, she was eating that Apple, falling down, and again she was crying and giving her back. Again and again. She as doing it and if I did not allow her eating, then she could cry louder and make people irritated.

However, it is difficult for maintain good habits for kids at an early age. I know that it is normal and babies do it often at that period of age. But what I had observed was something beyond my thinking and never experience anger. I pulled out my mobile phone and dialled my father. I just wanted to say to him that Reedha did something different today — it was not that bad or not a that good thing but sharing with him was quite fun for me or a bit of shame. On the call, I asked my father that “What if I was not capable of buying something she wants then?” My father gave me a very fine answer, and I was impressed.

Does Poor Child know Everything?

I never had a single thought of it. It was elementary, he said,“The poor child does not know that is Apple and if there was a baby who had never seen that before then she wouldn’t have asked or cried for it.” It was obvious, my daughter had seen the Apple many times, and she had to try it several times too. This was the reason that she recognized it quickly and shook the entire floor by her cry. This story was just Apple but what about the important decision in life or when you talk to your child about anything, then it is an earnest topic that we have to be alert while talking with our kids? It is a fault if something bad had happened with our child, it is because of our culture at home. If something goes wrong in front of them, they learn from our mistakes, and they do it knowingly in their life.

I love writing as I get to create something beautiful and touch others with my words in the process. I love the fact that I can create a whole new world, something no one else has ever seen. Writing helps me to escape reality and create new realities. At times, I also write stuff in those stories that I can never muster the courage to say in real life. It's my safe space. I can write whatever I am feeling and I can let it all out. It's also very therapeutic to me..
