Every child is unique! Even
twins are different in their
approach towards a similar
situation, so we need
to approach every child by
understanding their nature,
if we compare them to their
siblings, the results
will be unproductive. To
develop healthy eating
habits in a child, parents
should eat healthy food
themselves, discuss the
benefits and most
importantly learn to cook
tasty food. To cite an
example, if a
mother is a
'specialist' in
South Indian dishes only and
she is going to prepare
rajma chawal she must
learn to cook well, and only
then should the dish be
served to a child. A variety
of dishes play a key role
in developing children's
taste. Whenever I give
tender coconut to Inaana, my
three-year-old daughter, I
always have a sip before
giving her, to make sure she
has only sweet water. The
result is that she wants
tender coconut as a matter
of habit and not sweetened
drinks. Routinely, at least
one meal must be had
with the entire family, and
food to be prepared and
served with love. From the
very beginning, we have
to minimize eating junk
food, our personal habits
need to be reflected on, but
if this habit has been
there for a long time, then
abruptly we shouldn't
stop it. Gradually healthy
and – very importantly –
tasty food has to be
introduced. I would love to
know your views too! Eat
with love!

Another day of fun learning for Angels
|
|
Angels enjoyed making puppets and narrating stories
using them. It helps them get a better
understanding of the characters. It helps them express
themselves better to make their communication
more effective. We also make them think out of the box
by making recycling a central theme.
Minimizing wastage is key to saving Mother Earth! At the
end of the day, our Angels gifted their puppets
to their juniors!
A key skill this activity develops is speaking skills.
Angels get more confident by being able to present
themselves better. They learn how to listen well, which
is as important as being able to speak.
The angels also spent time reading.

We are introducing Sanjana in our #impactstory series
today.
I am Sanjana Oram, popularly known as"
Sangeeta." When I joined My Angels Academy, I
didn't know
what football was. For me, it was just a small game
where the struggle between the two teams tended
to end with winners and losers. But I was not aware that
playing football teaches lessons in life such as
teamwork, accountability, self-confidence,
responsibility, and self-discipline, and also helps us
to achieve
the goals of life. Before joining the academy, my
profession was plucking flowers. Earning Rs.20 a day, I
used to skip school and give lame excuses to my parents.
Without any mentor, I was wasting my time on
unproductive pursuits.
Fast forward, I got selected for trials for the Odisha
state football team (but couldn't get selected in
the
final round). After that, I went to Delhi to practice
under the watchful eyes of Sylvester Bhaiya and got
selected in Khelo India. I was not aware of what
"Anapana" and " Yoga" were, but I
came to know that
yoga is an integral part of our lives, and for a
sportsperson, it improves mobility and coordination and
helps to boost performance.
Had I not met Sylvester Bhaiya, I would not have
progressed.
