In reply to Found In Folsom. I meant birthday parties these days are all about spending money at expensive dos. Hardly anyone wants to call their friends over.

In reply to blogwatig. Nope. I haven't seen...the last I remember was her teen Bday Party with the NY backdrop and all..I think there was one more after that, no?

Thanks Jai. Yes, the losses and failures, if we speak about them we will lessen the pressure on them. What may seem inconsequential to us might really be a big thing for them.

When I asked her permission to write this, she took her time to answer. And then the next day said I could if it would help someone. She makes me so proud, I tell you.

Yes, the creatives were the silver lining in this whole thing.

In reply to Found In Folsom. Honestly, she surprises me all the time. Well, everything these days is a big deal. Have you seen the birthday celebrations? Anyway, I am glad she came through it all. These little instances will shape her for tomorrow.

I am super proud of you and your daughter. How to fight till the very end and give it your best and yet not be fazed by failure. THIS is what we need to teach them and they need to learn. Bravo and those posters are amazing!

This brought a lump to my throat Tiara ki mummy.
Such a valuable lesson and one that was learnt with such grace, such poise. Incredible for a child her age. Huge warm hugs to her.
I guess you have a teeny weeny something to do with the way Tiara is being brought up so hats off to you too 😛
I wish a lot of kids read this. They must learn that failures are nothing but mere stepping stones and each one makes us that much stronger.
And I love love love the posters !

Tiara, I just want to say to you that you teach me so many important lessons in life. Part of the credit goes to your mom too, for letting you grow to be your own person and celebrating who you are. And yes I might be your biggest fan for life and you always have my vote 🙂

BG, I agree with you, we need to showcase our kids losses too. That is what will make them stronger, and like you say make it okay to lose for them and for others too. I honestly hope and wish that I can be the parent that S needs in life, and he grows up to be a decent person.

Those creatives are such winners. And thank you for that prayer, I am saving it not just for S, for me too.

awww…hugs to your girl. How mature kids become and surprise us! So happy for you, Vinitha for the girl she’s becoming to be 🙂 Tell her that she has already won in her life. I didn’t know school elections are this big deal. Actually here in the US also, there are some elections in the school and I heard it’s a lot of effort to participate in them. And all the very best for her in everything she wants to do.
