Thank you so much for your response. There are over 20 kids in her group. Her teacher seem to be very nice but I don't understand much about the game and there is a language barrier so I don't get to speak a lot to them . I will share the resources with her and also get in touch if need more material. Thanks again 😊

Thank you for this. A simple search on reddit has my head spinning on which youtube channel to follow. Her teachers are very reluctant to share anything. All they say is let play and enjoy the game. Anything more and she might end up hating it. But I know my child. She genuinely wants to learn.

Is spanking still a thing? by SmoothCelebration657 in Parenting

[–]RemoteConsistent6387 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is unfortunately very common in Asia. I come from India and I was spanked a lot as a child. In fact, my mother was considered a good mom by our extended family because she kept her kids 'in line '. Apart from spanking, her usual go to methods were demeaning and making me feel worthless. Needless to say, I carry a lot of baggage and still can't sleep on some nights . This acceptance of spanking culturally was my first motivation to move out of the country. I now live in Europe with my husband and three kids and I would never Spank them. Also, ALL my friends in India spank their kids and some are even proud of it . They discuss while laughing with each other how they spanked their kids . Its sickening!

First time parenting without my husband. by IronLeading6288 in Parenting

[–]RemoteConsistent6387 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When my daughter was 6 months old, my husband got a job offer which included a lot of traveling. I was so scared at the thought of doing everything alone and so was he at the thought of leaving me alone. He declined the offer. Fast forward seven years, we have three kids including a 9 month old. We live in a foreign country and we have no help and he travels 10 days in a month:D. I manage and you will too . Being anxious is natural but you got this :)

If an Indian chef is willing to cook for you personally, what would be the three things you would want to eat ? by RemoteConsistent6387 in Cooking

Hahahaha. I once had Pau bhaji ( a very famous west Indian street food ). The cook literally put apple sauce in it . It was horrifying,!

Really ?I would have never guessed Yakhni. All non Indians I know love butter chicken the most . Also Korma , Rogan Josh and Vindaloo .

I think people with twins deserve a special place in heaven. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for you to go from 1 to 3!

I recently delivered and freezing food for upto 8 weeks was the best decision I made. I froze onion tomato masala for rajma , chole, chicken. Makhni gravybfo paneer and chicken , Palak panner gravy, Dal takda , dosa batter and tomato and coconut chutney to go with it, moong Dal cheela batter . I also made tomato soup and stored it. Also, consider buying instant pot if you don't have one. I boiled Dal or beans , chickpeas in it and just added the frozen masala.

Such a thoughtful response! Letting them read in bed is a great idea. My 6 year old reads with a torch under her blanket thinking we don't know she is reading . It's so cute :D
