Sleep Baby Sleep

There is no better sight in world than seeing your child in a sound sleep. Every mother and father would bid their head in agreement that sleeping child is the most gorgeous face one can ever witness. Also, if the child is sleeping properly, it is also an indication of his or her good health.
There is a popular saying - "Sleep like a child". Those who can sleep properly, give a number of diseases big goodbye automatically.

I have two kids in my house. Elder one is three years old and younger one is just over a month old. Both of them have different sleeping patterns. While thankfully the younger one is sleeping most of the time, I really have hard time getting the elder one to sleep. Both the kids have different sleep requirements. The suggested hours of sleep for kids from birth to 1 year and above are given at the article - shhhh they are asleep.

Sound sleep is important for the babies as it is said that the brain keeps on learning while in sleep as well. The fact that babies learn while sleeping has also been scientifically proven. Details of benefits of those beautiful closed eyes are listed at - Why is sleep vital to your baby's development
 if that is not enough, try watching a baby while he sleeps. The best of smiles come to their faces during this period. My kids, both of them, even laugh their wits out while dreaming! Yeah, I have pictures and luckily even the videos of elder one while smiling and laughing in their sleep. Believe me, they are the best of all.

For the infants, many parents have hard time getting their kid to sleep specially after the bath. I am not an expert, but have a little advise for the rest hours after the bath. Try and notice the pattern of their play time. My mother in law never forced my kids to take a bath early morning. She patiently waited for them to get a bit tired after good play and then gave them nice warm bath. The kids go to sleep a bit easily then. I still remember once a neighbour commented her that the babies in our family sleep after bath, but their kids never slept after the bath. The answer of my mother in law was same - "You bath your kids right in the morning when they have just woken to finish your household chores. We let the chores spreading around till its time for them to sleep."

What Women Want

It is said that it's impossible to understand a woman. 

What makes women happy?

How to keep  a women contempt?

Why do women overreact?

When would women grow up?

These are some million dollar questions that have remained unanswered for centuries. 'To treat a woman equally or specially' can actually be the most difficult and entertaining topic of a debate ever.

I think that the confusion presists because of various practices followed with or by women. Not only evil practices, but also customary pursuits such as daily worshiping of gods at home, watering the sun and taking care of children are all done by women in the family. However, exceptions are always there, but I have not seen men doing such chores in everyday life.

Some of my friends complain that what's the fuss around this elated International Women Day. I have only one answer to them - "International Men Day also exists; onus in on oneself to celebrate it.”

About social issues, women need to be treated equally as there are many practices whose virtue make women feel insecure and insulted. When the husband dies, lest the jewellery and normal wear, the soulmate is supposed to sit and sleep on floor for some days. No such sadistic practicies is expected from the other soulmate when wife dies. If a woman is unable to manage her home and family at the same time, family and friends advise her to quit her job and it is considered absolutely normal. However, if it comes to men labeled as incapable, he has to face humiliation from society, family and friends per se!

Special treatments feel blissful. Opening the door, pulling the chair, giving a hand to step up or down  - all these are of no use to display respect when the same woman is treated as a secondary choice for jobs and the man are abusive at his own house. Expensive gifts from someone special are worthless without his or her precious time. 

Following are some lines which might help answer the question - "What women want?".

She gets excited

All by a tiny flower

She feels honoured

All by a little pamper

She goes happy

All by some time

She flies on clouds

All by a quick hug

She hits the high

All by a modest achievement

She feels blessed

To have a parent

To have a sibling

To have a lover

To have a child.

She - The Woman

Want just some space

Space in family

Space in society

Space in HEART.
