Eight years ago, somebody told me about parent-child dates. Unconsciously, I was doing some of these things, but it was only until recently that I began doing this intentionally.   What are parent-child dates? It is simply having dates with your child/children. Intentionally taking them out for a special bonding. Building that connection while they’re still young.   In this episode, I would like t...

We get carried away with the right things to do as a parent that we forget to look at what we need to avoid.

As parents, it is our desire to see our kids become successful in life. But how do we really define success?   In today’s generation, success is essentially related to material things. Having a great career, a big house, cars, and money is usually how our society views success. What we fail to realize is that isn’t the true essence of success. Yes, it does play a role but it doesn’t entirely repre...

The pandemic has been a wake up call for parenting. So many things have been uncertain, and parenting has become harder and more challenging than it already was.   I heard someone say, life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.

I believe life is a process. It’s all about the evolution of consciousness. If you look at the way the universe created this world, it's always about the seed, a plant, a flower, and a fruit. Then, it goes back to the seed.   Similarly, we're all on a journey of greater consciousness, becoming more compassionate, and more loving. Through planting the seeds. It’s also like taking small steps leadin...

  Ninety percent of the time, I am in the doing mode.  It’s just hard for me to take some time off. I do have Saturdays and Sundays, but weekends are still packed with activities like spiritual practices, volunteer work, coaching, and all the other stuff. And I haven’t really had the time off I needed.   I’m currently traveling for work, and fortunately the weekend came while I’m on ‘workation’. L...

Sometimes, we exhibit behaviors towards our children we don’t mean. When we’re tired, overwhelmed, or having bad days, we tend to respond to our children in an unloving way. Though we don’t do them consciously, we still end up hurting our kids.   Unknowingly, the spur of the moment display of anger towards them is affecting their mental and emotional well being.    In this episode, I would love to...

Everybody has bad habits. And most of the time, these are habits we’re used to doing on a daily basis. These habits become a part of our routine, and keep on hindering us from becoming focused and productive.    Usually, we have our New Year’s resolution on the first day or first month of the year, and January 2022 is fast approaching. But should you even wait for the start of the year to make a c...

Children, as we know, go through a whirlwind of emotions. Sometimes they're so lovely and cuddly, but other times they’re so angry and frustrated that we don’t seem to know how to console or stop them from throwing a tantrum.     And for us parents, we get frustrated too and end up saying the wrong things. The words we say end up hurting our children and can cause a huge impact on them growing up....

It’s the beginning of school again, and usually this is when everything feels triggering. And usually we think these triggers are coming from outside or from our kids' behavior.

If you practice gratitude a little, your life will change a little. If you practice gratitude a lot, your life will change a lot. In 2018, I was in a very dark place.

There are two practices I’ve learned tha...

Understanding a child’s behavior can help us become aware of our own emotional triggers and reactions.  Children are an extension of ourselves. We pass on traits to our children, and  how we model influence them growing up. And so what we experienced as children is likely what we pass on or show our kids. As a result, a child can mirror back even the unresolved issues we had as a child.  With this...

Do you know your real self? Who are you? Who am I?   As many of you remember, I embarked on an eight day meditation retreat at the beginning of the month.

Who am I?   For more conscious parenting tips:  Follow me...
