Growing Together: What My Child Taught Me About Life and Love

In #Parenting, we are always looking for ways to teach and guide our children. But sometimes, it's the other way around. Our children can teach us valuable lessons about life, love, and happiness. Here are a few things that I have learned from my son:

1. Forget and live in the present

Children have an incredible ability to forget quickly and move on. They don't hold grudges or dwell on the past. They live in the present moment and enjoy every minute of it. When I scold my son, he forgets about it in a matter of minutes and shows his love towards me. We can all learn to let go of the past and live in the present.

2. Stand up for what is right

Children have an innate sense of what is right and what is wrong. They don't hesitate to stand up for themselves or others. My son has taught me to speak up and stand up for what is right, even if it means going against someone I love. We should never compromise on our values or beliefs.

3. Innocent love with no expectations

Children love unconditionally, without any expectations. They don't keep score or expect anything in return. They give their love freely and abundantly. We should learn to love like children, without any ulterior motives or expectations.

4. Happiness found in simple things

Children find joy and happiness in the simplest of things, like playing in the sand or blowing bubbles. They don't need expensive toys or gadgets to be happy. We should learn to appreciate the small things in life and find happiness in them.

5. Endless energy

Children have boundless energy, and they make the most of every moment. They run, play, laugh, and explore with enthusiasm and excitement. We should learn to approach life with the same energy and enthusiasm, making every moment count.

Children have a lot to teach us about life, love, and happiness. We just need to be open to learning from them. So, the next time you spend time with your child, pay attention to what they are teaching you. You might be surprised at what you learn!

Family Fun on Two Wheels: Our First Bike Ride as a family

Bike Ride on the KR Puram - Hoskote Highway: A Scenic and Adventurous Journey

Aayutha ezhuthu

Are you looking for a fun and active way to spend some quality time with your family in Bangalore? Then consider going for a biking ride. Today, I went for a bike ride with hubby and my 3-year-old kid in the evening, followed by a delicious dinner. Not only will it gave an excellent opportunity for bonding, but it allowed us to explore the city in a new way. 

Here are some tips to make the most of your biking adventure:

Scenic Route

Plan your route: Choose a route that is safe, scenic, and suitable for driving with kids. 

We started from our home and rode towards Hoskote, this highway stretches for approximately 30 kilometers, offering breathtaking lake views adding serene beauty to our ride 

Ensure Everyone Has Proper Gear: As we made plans to go for a bike ride, our top priority was ensuring that my son Hethvick had a helmet and we chose comfortable clothing for biking. We carried one water bottle and snacks in a small backpack. I would suggest that you carry a first aid kit in case of emergencies.

We maintained our speed and were cautiously following the rules. Since kids cannot communicate if they need to stop or take a break and biking can be tiring for young kids, we were cautious in keeping the route short. 

Baby Helmet 

Around 7 p.m., We covered a distance of 18 kilometers on our bikes and arrived at the restaurant. To our surpise, we found ourselves to be the only customers there. We relished the experience of having a private dinner in the restaurant.

Overall, the KR Puram - Hoskote Highway is a great choice for a scenic and adventurous bike ride from Bangalore. The journey is not too long, making it ideal for a day trip, morning and evening bike ride and the changing landscapes and picturesque surroundings will make the ride a memorable one. 

Also, Biking with family is an excellent way to bond and explore the city. With the right planning and preparation, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. So, pack your bags, grab your helmets, and embark on a memorable biking adventure with your loved ones!
