But! You ask me how can I become a better parent? How can I become a happier parent?  Well! It is all about what you say, how you behave and what you do. It is all about the choices you make in life. Just like an art piece we use color, we have a medium, paints and a canvas all come together to make a masterpiece. If any of the three are not in balance the outcome is not what you want and not beautiful. It may be nice but! if I told that you can do it could better if you do something else. So! For positive parenting you need to be happy first yourself. What if I told I will give a "Happiness DOSE pill for free. No cost added". You heard me write.

THE DOSE IS 

  1. D - DOPAMNE       - The reward Hormone
  2. O - OXYTOCINE   - The Love Hormone
  3. S  - SEROTONINE - The Mood Stabilizer
  4. E  - ENDORPHINE- The Pain Killer

1.      Dopamine - The Reward Hormone

This hormone is created in our body when you so something rewarding. Something we can do to increase DOPAMINE in in our body is complete a pending task, trying to cook something new, taking up a hobby like singing, painting. When complete these tasks we feel happy. We also need self-love like a manicure, trip to the saloon or buying something for yourself or your child. One must learn to celebrate the little things and small achievements in life.

  1. O- OXYTOCINE - The Love Hormone

The love hormone like the word suggests come from something that we do that shows love. When we get a hug or hold hands, we are happy. A gentle touch a kiss on the cheek or forehead makes us happy. Playing with a baby or a pet will make us happy. Even receiving and giving a compliment, appreciation, and gratitude releases Oxytocin. As an adult even sex is important. So! Next time don’t be stingy in showering your loved one with hugs and kisses.   

  1. S- SEROTONINE - The Mood Stabilizer

The last time you went for a holiday jumped in a swimming pool, walked in the nature, took a trek what did you feel? Did you feel happy? Did you feel relaxed? When you attend a meditation session does your mind feel at peace. Well! The mood stabilizer SEROTONINE is at work during this time. You can do this even if you are not on a holiday. You may ask me how? Well! You can walk in the Garden next to your house early in the morning or take a run or jog on the road. Your body is releasing this happy hormone. That’s why you see people who are into walking, running, cycling, yoga, and swimming are in a happy state when they are doing this activity. Doing this on a regular basis will make you a happier person. The main thing during these activities is also exposure to sun which is also a mood stabilizer. So yes! Next time you want to go shopping go in the sun and walk, see you how happy you feel.

  1. E- ENDORPHINE - The Pain Killer

How did you feel when you ate dark chocolate? When you exercise and sweat how does your body and mind feel? When you are not well in pain and friend comes along and makes you laugh. Do you feel the pain was less? If you have said you feel happy, better, or less pain it is true because here at this time you Endorphin is now working and pumping in full swing. Too much chocolate will make you put on weight so then you need to work that extra calorie. When you enter a spa, and it smells good. What’s happening? Again, endorphins are released. These are all pain-relieving activities. There is a saying Laughter is the best medicine. So! Next time you want to laugh don’t control yourself. A good laugh can go a long way.

Now! That you know all the things you can do to stay in a happier state on mind you can apply this also with your children. Go down and play with them in the park. Take walk in the park. Play games laugh. Give a task to your child and reward accordingly. I would be talking about that soon. So! be happy and stay happy. Follow the HAPPINESS DOSE mantra to be a in a better state of mind.

From Innocent Play to Pressure-Packed Trends: A Tale of Two Generations Growing up, many of us remember sneaking into our parents’ rooms, rummaging through their vanity, and swiping on a tube of lipstick with reckless abandon. It wasn’t about looking perfect or capturing a moment for the camera—it was pure play. The oversized heels, the smudged red lips, and the powder dusted over our faces were all part of pretending, of exploring the idea of being "grown-up." These moments were fleeting, innocent, and most importantly, disconnected from any societal pressure. When Makeup Was Just Play Back then, makeup wasn’t a routine or a statement but a novelty. There were no expectations of perfection, no filters to compete with, and no audience to validate our efforts. We played dress-up for ourselves, for our siblings, or for a good laugh. By bedtime, the lipstick smears were wiped away, and we returned to our carefree world of books, outdoor games, and imagination. The Shift to the ...

When it comes to guiding our children’s growth and career paths, we often fall back on traditional ideas of intelligence—grades, test scores, and academic skills. But intelligence is much more diverse and dynamic.  According to Dr. Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences, people are smart in many different ways.

Courage to encourage - The working parent dilema

Image
As parents, we often find ourselves juggling countless responsibilities—work, household tasks, and raising children. In the midst of it all, it can be easy to focus on what needs to be fixed or improved, especially when it comes to our kids. But what if the key to helping them grow lies not in constant correction, but in appreciation and encouragement? The Story of Riya and Her Son, Aarav Riya, a working mom, had always been dedicated to her career and family. But lately, she noticed her 8-year-old son, Aarav, becoming more withdrawn and less excited about school. His grades had started to drop, and Riya found herself constantly nagging him to complete his homework or study more. The more she pushed, the more Aarav seemed to retreat into his shell. One evening, during a particularly heated moment, Aarav blurted out, “You only notice when I do something wrong!” That hit Riya hard. She hadn’t realized that her well-meaning advice and constant correction had overshadowed something far mor...
