The main fact is tution can never make a kid become first in the class rather he or she should get enough free time to make the brain stable. Y do the guardians do not understand their child....? shreyahttps://jumbodium.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-35855489395373294362014-11-24T03:17:25.586-08:002014-11-24T03:17:25.586-08:00Glad to know our parenting style is same as yours,...Glad to know our parenting style is same as yours, shilpa.

My cousins too have raised wonderful kids in Atlanta & NJ living there for the past 25 years, so its certainly doable. Good luck to you.

It is really sad to see most kids so overburdened with school and tutions from morn till night! These kids are losing out in enjoying the most beautiful phase of life - childhood!Shilpa Garghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016927627801620377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-38824787832435409992014-11-10T11:22:44.934-08:002014-11-10T11:22:44.934-08:00What an excellent, excellent post!

I grew up exactly like you described - my mom was my primary tutor outside of school and I never went for tuitions. Healthy, simple, homemade meals and ample time for play and rest was provided. We travelled quite a bit as well and books were my best friend. I only hope to do what my parents did for me - if not more. Its a challenge, especially as we are choosing to raise them in a foreign land, but certainly doable.

We wanted to raise healthy and good (character) children. Education is important but not that is the only thing in life. If everyone wants to go to IIT and medical and become engineers and doctors, then who will do the other jobs? If everyone wants to travel in a chauffeur driven car, who is going to be the chauffeur?SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.com
