Children after a age get judgemental, learn from parents, observe things. As parents how we showcase ourselves matter and many of us fail in this. A good move in having the conversation, clarifying and setting the perspective right matters a lot in shaping a beautiful future for them

As a parent, it is our responsibility to help our kids understand and differentiate right from wrong. Having one on one conversations with them is one of the ways that we have adopted for now to tackle this situation.

The kids are curious beings, and we need to feed their curiosity with the right knowledge. Thanks for visiting, Harjeet 🙂

I remember when I was younger, we used to say fair girls are beautiful and dark boys are handsome. This notion has changed a lot in today’s time but still, we need to teach our kids that beauty is not what’s seen from the outside. You explained that well to your son. 🙂

Yes, you are right. And this conversation should start from an early age. Thanks for stopping by:)

Talking about body positivity is extremely important

So in my case it was the other way around. Because I’m the fairest in the family, my 4 year old son asked me why I was ‘white’ and his sister was also lesser white but he and his dad are dark brown. First I found that to be a cute observation but then I sat him down and told him that God has given everyone different colours. It doesn’t matter how they look, it is how they treat you that matters. How you behave and how good you are to others matter, not your colour.. than I made it a bit dramatic and said even if your red in colour, and if you are a nice person who helps others, people will surely love you.

You have handled the situation very well, Neha. Kids these days are very observant and need to know that people are not judged by outward appearance. Thankfully my kids didn’t ask such questions, but my son used t ask many questions about the world, animals, how he was born.

Hi Neha, like Nemit Vibhu called me chubby once. And also that he liked more when I was not as fat as I am now. Definitely our kids are absorbing the wrong idea of being beautiful. They somehow want a mumma like they see in TV shows. Really is different and they should understand that mumma is always beautiful as she takes care of whole family.
