Mother-Daughter Matrix
by Chitra Jha

Despite mothers and daughters sharing a special bond, there are some complex emotions that play a role in this sacred bond. |

Maintaing an Emotional Bank Account!
by Dexter J Valles
We need to have a minimum deposit and keep filling in the account to make it work. It helps when we have to make withdrawals. The deposits are simple ones, like acknowledging the other, common courtesies, keeping the small promises we make, being sincere in helping, being sincere in owning up to mistakes made and apologizing with intent to repair the damage done and so on. |

Joy of Parenting Adolescents!
by Chitra Jha
The truth remains that adolescents deal with their own demons in their own way. To be accepted by their peers means a lot to them. They need to belong in their peer group. If they harbour a poor body image, or any other perceived inadequacy; it can play havoc with their mental peace. They encounter enough pressure in their own little worlds. All they need from us is complete acceptance. Accept them for what they are. |
