How to explain religion to a child?

She-Why do people wear black dress? I-They are muslims. She-What is muslim? I-What is your religion? S-What is religion? I-It is a set of rules. What is your religion? S-I don’t know . Why don’t you give an example and explain? I-Like we do pooja, go to temple, the way our marriages are held, we pray to Krishna, Rama. Like you go to school in uniform and you have to be there at certain time and you need to follow certain instructions. S-Like some people can come in color dress only on their birthday or on day when they join. I-Correct so the set of rules are defined otherwise there will be so much confusion. There is also Christian religion, they pray to Jesus, they go to church on Sundays. They have different food habits. S-Like Allen goes to church on Sunday. I-Same way Muslims follow Prophet Mohammad and they have a certain rule on wearing dress called Burkha in which ladies dress in black dress. S-But everybody wears dress like me.

friends birthday party

There is a birthday party in the evening and its the weekend so we are all ready for it. The gift buying happens in afternoon with some additional shopping and then we go on to a restaurant to munch lunch. It was a very sweet lunch and just before the end daughter says "Wait", we wonder why and then she explains that "Mouth fresheners are yet to come!" सौंफ आना तो बाकी है! We go back home and sleep and manage to get back and are lazy to move and wish we could have stayed back at home. The wife is getting ready and the husband is already is keeping a close eye on the watch. We were supposed to be there at 6:30 but now its 7. It happens to be his birthday too but he is preoccupied with getting late and thus ignores the surprise gift that he gets from the wife as it happens to be his birthday too. His anger is supreme and thus reacted causes the wife angst and she too decides to dump the party after spending over a hour doing the make up. He locks himself in room. Ther...

mush rolls on

Recently a supermarket opened close to residence and named EverFine. She calls it neverFine. She drops water on floor and I keep on insisting that she will fall if she steps on it. She simply comes again and one hand on sides and other resting on sofa set, with a serious expression on face she says "come to dining table" with a nodding head. It is time for dinner. She wondered where she was when I was a kid. I say she was a bird. I narrate a incident when my parents took me to beach in Bombay and then I was left behind and probably the sea would have consumed me. She said that then a uncle saved you. I wondered how come she knew and she reminded me that she was a bird and was flying above. We have never discussed on cigarette and its ill effects at home but she went ahead and told a friend of her that her father was bad because he smoked.

inFluencing a child

How adults can create a impressions on the child and corrupt her belief system? Suppose your child has got a good friend and it her first day of nursery school. Her peer keeps chanting about the crowded van in which they travelled and how the ride was bumpy and fun. Imagine the fun in 4-8 years old jostling for space in a overcrowded van. But since it is presented as fun and the feeling is further enforced by the peer mother who says that your daughter will like to go with her child and both will have fun too in van in each other company. When you come into picture she tries to influence your decision too by quoting the cost per month and how cheap it is. The mother is also brought into the game thinking its fun and sportingly participates. You come into picture and try to assert that it is not safe for nursery going kids to travel in vans that are overcrowded and managed by single driver whose morality is not tested and who need to drag atleast 10 kids to his van and drop them at thei...
