Hello Friends,
Vipul’s word “just start” clicked and here is my first post.
Being only daughter never seen any infant in home or in close relative…so almost knowing nothing about infant care and all. People had confused me lot by giving different unasked advices. Then started reading books and some really helpful sites and got new direction. And I found Parenting fascinating and challanging job.
Emotional and sensitive nature has made me extra caring mother , but it has given me chance to find creative/innovative ways for parenting issues. Like we were giving Ash bottled milk . The day I come to find how it affect teeth and other negative effects, I have decided to leave bottle within a week. From that day started giving mini choco bar when she ask milk and changed it to popcorn packet after two days and slowly before a week her habit of milk-bottle has gone!
In India elders gives lots of advices to keep infant safe and healthy. Hardly people think about intellectual development at such a small age. I was very much sure to introduce love for reading at early age and brought hard books for Ash at 5-6 month and surfing for good book sites. From Bruno Bear’s site found very important truth about 0-6 year’s importance. Later come to know Madam Mountessouri and Gijubhai, and come to know methods for sense development and how it affects intellectual development.

All these readings and experiences tought me that Parenting is very important subject and we have taken it very lightly. Familiar parenting ways are not enough and not even effective. Finding better ways has lead me to endless searching for truths in this subject.
Here I would like to share my journey to parenthood and homeschooling with you all and kindly comment or suggest what you feel.
Thanks,
Sejal

Hi Sejal,
I definitely share your view point when you say the conventional method of parenting are not enough. Its a responsible job. And the regular advices are not enough. Its good that young and enthusiatic parents like you share notes with others. I would like to keep myself updated on the subject of homeschooling and parenting as such, though I am not a parent yet. Please keep talking and sharing. Best wishes for the blog. :)
