Someday I will find my Prince, but my Daddy will always be my King.” So true, so cute, and so very innocent. Isn’t? I found this beautiful quote while exploring the greeting cards section in my local store. Father's Day in the United States is the third Sunday of June. It celebrates the contribution fathers and father figures make to their children's lives. Today, at Mother’s Gurukul podcast, let’s celebrate Father’s Day!!

I was curious to know more about Father’s Day, and I found something interesting. ‘A woman called Sonora Smart Dodd was an influential figure in the establishment of Father’s Day. She is also recognized as the mother of Father’s Day. Her father was a civil war veteran who raised six children
by himself after the death of their mother. This was uncommon at that time, as many widowers placed their children in the care of others or quickly married
again. Sonora was inspired by the work of Anna Jarvis, who had pushed forMother’s Day celebrations. Sonora felt that her father deserved recognition for
what he had done. The first time Father’s Day was held in June was in 1910. President Nixon officially recognized Father’s Day as a holiday in 1972.’

Have you ever heard parents teaching their children to lie? Or able to control their reaction or response when they find out about
the lie their child has said? Picturize a face of a child with a mouth covered with ice cream, and they are trying to wipe it off while telling us that they haven’t eaten anything. I am sure it must have brought a smile to your face. Children typically begin lying in preschool ages during 3-4 ages. Something that starts humorously take the form of big lies. May be because they think this is an easy way to save themselves. Or they must have seen their elders doing it. Or perhaps some other reasons. So, let’s talk about why they lie and how we can control that.



How to encourage them to tell the truth?



1. When teaching kids about behavior, role modeling

2. Help them not take help of lying for their actions.

3. Praise them for taking ownership if they have done anything wrong.

4. We don’t have to overreact.

So today, instead of talking about this day, I decided to share a short poem I came across today. The last four lines stole my heart. I picked this poem because it describes not just a woman's compassion, pure heart, and tolerance but also talks about her beauty in a different way. I hope you will also enjoy it as much as I did reading and narrating it.

Change is the deepest dream of the human heart. We’d all like to become someone new.

The first word that comes to mind is resolution whenever we talk about welcoming New Year or saying bye to the past year. Somehow, I never felt any connection or excitement in this word. I do believe in change or exciting things. But this word puts me under pressure.

Then what do I call them? I call it promises. Do you make NY resolutions? Or you are like me? Let me tell you why I do not make new year's resolutions; I promise myself to develop good habits!

5 steps to develop good habits: 

First, we have to Define the person we want to become

Then we have to Create the right environment for it.

Now is the time to Start with the two-minute rule: If following the new habit, even for two minutes, seems complicated, it needs to be broken into mini-habits.

Focus on daily success: Every small step towards your new habit is an achievement. Do not ignore them.

Aggression is often considered as a negative emotion. Sometimes out of aggressive behavior, kids pick verbal, physical, and emotional fights. They are constantly trying to overpower other people in one way or another, as if being aggressive is the only way they know how to be, as if being aggressive gives them a sense of being alive, of feeling real.

But there is something called Positive aggression which can be a good trait when it comes to achieving our goals. It is crucial because it can help people understand that when a person says “no” or “I want”, it does not mean selfishness or being offensive. Instead it is all about standing up for themselves. Negative aggression is unfriendly and unhelpful. On the contrary, positive aggression is friendly and helpful. When we want to achieve our goals, we have to say no to many unwanted distractions or clarify our needs, and what matters to us.
