Parenting tips
• Your kid is a pre-schooler now. He is exposed to the outer world, from where he will learn different things. Make sure you give him space to grow and not be the shadow always.
• If you notice something that is not good and may be wrong, do not scold. Talk to him and tell him what is good and what is not. Scolding will only make it worse.
• Now that he is going to school, he might face some stressful events. Help him with that. Tell him its fine if you don’t score the highest.
