In this episode, I am sharing about how to hydrate your skin in Winter for Mothers and Kids. Whenever Winter comes we rush to market to buy a branded Moisturizer or Lotions to soften and hydrate our skin including our Child. But is it really working or helpful to get rid of the dryness? Not at all, we need to start nourishing our body internally and have loads of those foods which is full of nutrition and have the power to hydrate. Here I am going to talk about those natural elements to add and have to take on a daily basis.
  
  The first natural element which is amazing and has healing properties is Coconut Water, which helps our body to hydrate and provides energy.  Any season you can consume this on an empty stomach it has no sugar and is completely natural. Regular consumption of this water will help to reduce wrinkles, blemishes, and fine lines, acne. 
  
  The second natural element which I love because of its benefits for babies to Old people is Ghee,  which is very good for the skin and the overall body, in season 1, I mentioned Ghee’s benefits for kids when they suffer from constipation, ·         softening and hydrate skin, provide a natural glow, lighten dark spots, repair dry or damaged skin, protect from cold, dry, windy weather and also treat cracked lips. No Lipbalm and any other lip dryness-restoring cream can beat this one.
  
  The third natural element which I love most and is very very good for our skin is fresh fruit juices, But definitely not the packed one which is available in the market, which has loads of artificial elements and sugar.

Make your juices every day at home with fresh fruits and have those, every fruit is very good for our skin. Never use white sugar in your juices, natural sweetener in fruits is more than enough for our body. 

 Forth natural element which is personally loved during this winter is Colorful Soups, we all crave hot soup, which has powerful nutrition which helps our skin to become healthy, why soup is healthy because we cook it less instead boil hence it’s loaded with nutrition. The liquid form of food always helps our skin to be hydrated and to reduce dryness. 

This one we all know but I personally emphasize to everyone to keep in mind is to drink plenty of water which helps our body to be toxin-free, hydrating, and helps to digest food properly. 
 
 Here before ending,  I would like to offer you a magical homemade completely natural moisturizer that is completely safe for Mother and baby skin, take aloe Vera gel which works like sunscreen, then add coconut oil along with almond oil together and mix it nicely and before keeping it in a bottle add 04-5 strands of saffron and last, not the least don’t forget to add 2-3 drops of your favorite essential oil for a nice fragrance. I love lavender, cooling water, and many more.
 
 And please don't forget to drink loads of water,

Life was all become a dreamland for her, but she was not been able to make life perfect every day for her, and her postpartum depression has given her life a different turning altogether.

She is very particular about her family's happiness and really believes in the words "Unlock a Deeper Sense of Purpose and Joy".  Although she is having everything with her, somewhere she was not deeply happy about her postpartum process. She was depressed and all-time angry, but couldn't make out by herself what was wrong with her. But she had not given up, tried her best to understand the situation, and got back her happiness. Sacrifices are there everywhere, but if you are really focusing on your goal, nothing can stop you to achieve it moreover when a mother is taking action on this, accomplishment will definitely happen.

She also practices Yoga and Meditation on regular basis and what I have learned from her is never ever force our body to work out, take it as a healing process. At a time one Yoga would be enough for us.  Recently she published her book "Connected: Discovering Your Inner Guides” , She has written this book with the intention to let the family knows about the connection between the kids and parents, which is really important. because we get frustrated for not being able to understand our kid's tantrums, and their anger, as per her it can be energy blockage, she has nicely explained all details in her book. I would request every mother who feels disconnected please read this, if you wish to read the book, please grab a copy, it's available on amazon. Will share the link;

In this episode, we are talking about Child Mental Health, and how important it is for a child to have a healthy Mind. 

In today’s world, everything is in our access, all minute details our kids are well versed nowadays and they know very well if they need something the knows to behave accordingly in front of mothers.

But one thing I always know is that Being mentally healthy during childhood means learning healthy skills and a child knows how to cope when there are problems. Mentally healthy children i have seen always have a positive quality of life, have a quality approach to mothers, and can function well in school and even at home.

For example, it’s my personal experience about my daughter that when she is having full faith in her, she performs well. She behaves well and she is having a full understanding of what she is thinking. But when she has doubt or confusion in her mind, or she has a confused mind, which keeps triggering her thoughts, she becomes completely a different person. Understanding what goes into her thought plays a very important role in order to support her mentally and helping her to be strong psychologically.

Childhood has a critical stage of life for mental health. This is a time when rapid growth and development take place in the brain. Kids acquire cognitive and social-emotional skills that shape their future and also important for assuming what role they would be playing in future,

Benefits of Kids’ healthy Mental Health,

The first and foremost thing which I have personally realized is their confidence level become high. if Kid’s mental health is good, they feel strong and have the courage to face the world without any hesitation. Kids feel happy within and that reflects in their behavior.

One more thing which I have to understand is they become strong in tough times, when things don’t go the way they expect, they manage those situations very softly, 

Enjoying life becomes easy to flow for those kinds of kids who have a healthy mind, because when their thoughts are clear and they have proper ways how to enjoy life. Everything depends on my mind, if that is clear and anxious fewer things fall in place easily. The same thing happens with kids.

Kids perform well in school and understand every bit of learning very easily. The study never gets cluttered for them and they absolutely enjoy the process.

Even they will behave with friends and family and they get along really well with everyone.

One more very important holding, which I have perceived is Children become so assertive, that they are ready to take on challenges and prepared to try new things.

In this episode today I would like to talk about; What Parents Can Do for Children to Plant the Seeds of  Lifelong Success,

Give our child emotional support. "our job being a Mother is to love and accept our children for who they are. Even as we set limits for them, a child needs to feel loved through every emotion they have and through any behavior.

Never shame our child. Avoid giving our children the message that they or their ideas are bad, especially with younger children. 

Every time not to control our child. Let me share with you this example whenever my daughter chooses to dress in mismatched clothing, I never say no it was bad or it doesn't look good on her, I just go with it. Otherwise, what I am doing here not sending her the message that "your own initiatives and decisions are not good. That can discourage her mentally.

Avoid constantly correcting our child.  if they put together a puzzle the "wrong" way, hold back from telling them they've done it wrong. Let them experiment and imagine a world where there is more than one right answer, more than one way to do something. "That's how our kids get to think outside the box.

 Think of the learning process as a series of experiments, not a series of tests. Kids especially young children don't define mistakes the way we do. "For them, it's all just a part of the process." For a child, if something doesn't work, it's an opportunity to learn and try again. Allowing our children to figure this out on their own teaches them flexibility and in turn, they can gather loads of confidence in themselves.

Give children opportunities for engaging play, not just unstructured play. Kids need time to play in the outdoor world in whatever way they choose to. Let them discover things for themselves. This is how you nurture a creative and innovative thinker. Let them analyze and select how things have to be done.

Teaching our child emotional balancing, but how does that happen. "It's our job to make our children happy but also we have to teach them to understand how to work through the bad times.

We can't just neglect our child's feelings like sadness, disappointment, frustration, or fear, but what we can do is to help them recognize those feelings and educate them on how to deal with them. We need to be there with them, That's how they learn how to handle when things don’t go the way we expect. "And that's how we'll raise a truly extraordinary human being.

In this episode I am sharing thoughts about an important topic to talk about is increasing Constipation in kids, I am sure everyone must be thinking why today this topic. Since the summer season is on and sitting at home kids are not drinking enough water, and we all know how it helps food to digest properly and also helps to clear the motion.

Not only liquid also roughage helps bowel movement, 

So 03 things which you need to include in your kids’ routine are,

1) offering enough liquid to kids, any kind of liquid which I have mentioned in my last episode.

2) Any fruit which is seasonal like, in summer its mango, which we get easily in market and kids love to eat that. So without any hesitation offer them every day.

3) Banana, it’s the best for kids who are suffering from severe constipation. It’s always recommended even for grown-ups to include this in their diet.

But fortunately, most cases of constipation in children are temporary. Encouraging your child to make simple dietary changes and include a few things in their daily life can help them a long way toward alleviating constipation. Just we need to start making it a habit and things will automatically roll in.

In this episode, I have been thinking to talk about this topic since summer is already here and the heat we can feel. I am sure lots of mothers will agree with me that we keep on thinking about, how we can keep our kids hydrated? Heat Waves are on and we really need to make sure that our kids are well hydrated, drinking enough water while traveling, even at home. Because the effects of kids not being hydrated are very harmful, let me tell you, how does it affect kids,

 First and foremost kids may feel fatigued, no energy in their body because the body needs a certain amount of fluids for cells. Since when they don’t get what they need, they may feel tired or unable to activate themselves.

The second reason is dark yellow urine – it happens and that’s a reminder for mothers to understand that liquid intake should be more now. Constant yellow urine in kids is a sign of dehydration.

 The third reason is often you can see kids’ dry lips, tongue, mouth, or throat. Kids even at home, have seen their lips are drying, sometimes definitely because of weather changes but most of the time it happens because of dehydration, that’s why they feel thirsty often. 

The fourth important reason is that they may feel dizziness anywhere be in school or at home, so please keep a check on how much fluid intake is there for a child. So I request parents to keep a check on how much water they are drinking during day time. Even it also regulates body temperature.

Especially during summer, kids don’t feel like eating solid food, that’s absolutely ok, but continuous fluid intake can help them for better functioning of their body and mind. Kids love to indulge themselves with refreshing juices, milkshakes, smoothies, and so many other health drinks. I think this is the best season for them to enjoy, let them create their own refreshments including loads of fruits, seeds and even other ingredients which can enhance the taste of summer drinks.

Liquid intake during summer is very important and it not only help them to regulate the body system, but it also keeps jointly lubricated, prevents infections, and keeps organs functioning properly. Being well hydrated improves sleep quality and uplifts the mood of the child.

In this episode, I am sharing about how Important to boost the Self-Esteem of a Child because a few days before I was discussing with one of my friends and she has shared how her 08 years old Son is always hesitating to express himself and finding it extremely hard to mingle with friends, people around and even in school.

Because of their low self-esteem, he is not able to cope up with any mistake he does, not able to face the challenges, and not being able to believe in himself.  His self-doubt always brings down and does not give to courage to involve in the activities. This is my personal recommendation to every parent, that after Immunity boosting if something is really important for kids is Boosting Self-Esteem.  Please listen and share your view on this episode and let me know if you want me to cover any topic write to me at [email protected] and for more updates follow me on Instagram @somathakur.mothercoach.
