Household chores, taking care of younger siblings, cooking and dry-cleaning activities form an integral part of their daily mandate.

Home-schooling is not going to be an ordeal, given the fact that kids need not travel far to their schools. All they are going to do is stay at home, read for 3-4 hours, covering various subjects of study. So making devotionals, chores and family meal timings can be accommodated with the schooling pattern.

Fine-arts fine-tune their minds

Sowing seeds into your kid’s passion is something that you need to follow-up with. Explore the hidden talents or hobbies of your children. Enrolling them in music, fine-arts, or painting classes can open up their creative bent of mind. After all, academics isn’t the be-all and end-all of life.

You don’t have to quote verses or sermons from the Gita or Ramayana. You can give life-lessons from your own experiences. You can tell your children about the mistakes you had committed in life. How did you get over them? Sharing your past experiences in life can open up their minds to tackling similar life situations. Make sure you understand what you can share and what you cannot!

You can pick up daily moments and help them do the task more easily. When you had a hard time with cooking, you can expose the short-cuts of churning out dishes. This way, your kid learns the art from your own life experiences. Not everything in life can be taught or learned via books.
