Dealing with tantrum

Image
 By Aaisha Strange but true, handling tantrums, especially in public, is difficult for a mother. Only older children may be able to understand what you're saying, but you can't explain it to younger kids. You also need to justify your attention to the younger children to the older ones, which is sometimes impossible. Does that make sense? What should I do? I also need clarification. Many people advise me to remain calm and manage the situation carefully and firmly, but in reality, my level of anger increases and becomes difficult to control. The way my husband handles this problem at the moment is to grant their requests, which is incorrect because they will do so again and again in front of other people. I remind them that they should listen for "No," as nothing we want in life comes effortlessly. Instead, they should know that we must work hard to achieve a specific goal. My husband agrees. At the time, he wants to get the thing fixed. Even at home, I become i

 By Amna Earlier, we discussed the subject of perfectionism. Since "comparison" falls under the same umbrella We want to talk about it separately.   We all have been the target of comparison, and it's not only present in adults; among children, it's prevalent.  "Her kid is so much better than yours." "Look at how well she manages the house and the kids! " "She lost all her weight right after delivering" "She always appears to be on point."  "You are wearing such a simple dress." Every day, we hear all of this and so much more. We are under constant pressure to be on top of "this comparison game." But, unfortunately, we lose ourselves in trying to prove to others that we can do it too. This undefeated battle of comparison makes us miss precious moments. We forget to slow down and live in the present. Just because someone can wake up at 7 in the morning, prepare a lavish breakfast, be ready before lunchtime, an

I am Imperfectly perfect

B y Aaisha How frequently in your life have you heard the word "perfect"? Yet, I often listen to this word. "Place everything precisely." "Prepare meals perfectly." "Appear yourself greatly." "The space must be spotless." "That is a perfect outfit." "I want my children to be perfect in everything." It's not like we're behaving this way because we constantly want things to be perfect and precise; instead, it's something that comes naturally to us: perfection. It looks pretty positive. Right? What if, unfortunately, you are not perfect in any way? The simple response is that you don't belong in this world; you're useless and don't know anything. As a result, we begin to think that we cannot satisfy anyone and feel guilty, weak, and incomplete about ourselves. Unfortunately, our mental and physical health then starts to be affected by these negative perceptions. I often consider how organized my

A journey that never comes to an end

By Aaisha “Although I want to lose weight, it isn’t effortless; I can’t do it. It’s challenging. Sadly, I can’t keep a regular workout or eating schedule.” Like me, most women who have put on a lot of weight experience this issue. I find it difficult to exercise and eat regularly. I love good food, and I have a sweet tooth in particular. However, desserts are my weakness, and I occasionally overeat as well. I try to control my portions, but when the weekend comes around, my stomach grunts for more food. As a result, all of my efforts have been in vain. Sometimes I feel full, but the munching makes me think that way. Because I have a strong sugar addiction, it requires a great deal of effort for me to restrict myself. When I exercise or follow a diet, I feel amazing. Still, when I do not notice a change on the scale, I lose interest and depressively eat more, and when I finally get motivated again, all of the weight I’ve lost reappears. I have stopped looking at the scale since at
