In the second episode of "Chiming with Super-Mom Bloggers”, we had Ms. Reshma Krishnamurthy of Mums & Stories as our expert mom of the week. As a freelance writer, Reshma brought forward stories and experiences of different mothers in her blog.
While talking about “Importance of Life Skills in kids post-pandemic”, Reshma shared her views on how the pressure and even fear of exams have now reduced on the children due to pandemic.
She opined that “Parents need to be more positive minded and do what’s efficient for their kids”. Before COVID-19, the Indian family lifestyle has heavily dependent on house helps but this has changed completely. What has come to the fore is the need to teach these essentials skills like cleaning, organizing, and washing from an early age to the children, so they grow on to become independent and self-sufficient. “A lot of things in life are boring but you cannot shed away from responsibilities, so life skills are far more important than academics”, Reshma claimed while sharing her best parenting tips for bringing up kids whether pre-schoolers or teenagers.
