I am sure most people reading this mail are fellow mommies. We all know what a nightmare it is to drag our little ones out of bed in the morning. Believe me when I say, I have tried all possible tricks n tips. Some work, some don’t…After all kids and moms are different. With some experience at my end, if I had to chalk down 3 things that are tried and tested at my end:

  • I give her a warm bath at night, rather than in the morning. This routine has helped me more than one way. My daughter loves to spend time, soaking in her tub. Being evening , I can allow her to be in the tub to her hearts content. Also, in the evening she goes to garden and comes back looking like a brown teddy. So having  warm bath, helps her relax and slip in to bed time. She gets better and quick sleep, and wakes up squeaky clean. This saves me a lot of time and tears in the morning. For once I can let her get 15 extra mins of sleep and second no crying over wanting to have extra time in tub.
  • I keep her tiffin and school bag ready before I wake her up. By doing this, once she’s up I can spend most of my time in quickly getting her ready and then feed her well. So I don’t have juggle between kitchen and her , and focus on her completely.
  • As s bed time ritual I discuss her choice for breakfast for the next morning. This reduces morning hassles of “what to cook?”. Also no rejections from her or surprises from me, helps us have a positive start to  the day.
These are my mantras to have a peaceful morning and help my daughter reach school in time. Do let me know your gurumantras!

Priyanka Hansa "When plan A doesn't work, remember there are 25 more alphabets", this best describes Priyanka's spirit and approach to life. This mindset was inculcated in her at a very early stage of life and her father played a pivotal role in shaping her as an adaptable, yet independent person. One of her first plans started with the goal of joining the Indian Army. The goal was easy to choose but needed a lot of willpower and determination for realization. She ticked all her check-boxes, with learning Karate, playing sports to stay fit and reach physical fitness parameters for her goal. She even learnt horse riding; she basically was preparing to be her own knight in shining armor. But as it is said, change is the only constant in life.

She had the firsthand responsibility of taking ca
