The Fifth Season

Wrote a summer ha-iku  😉

Summer Vacations

kids everywhere  you look

giggles rule world

There are five seasons Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer and Summer vacations.  Sadly the fifth season which kids love the most is all packed and ready to leave. And this time of year, just before the school re-opens for a new session, you get to see and hear all kinds of funny things all around. It is fun and a bit sad at times to see how parents  and kids deal with their holiday home works and prep for new sessions.

Am sharing some cartoons I made  which will make you laugh and think , hope you enjoy them as much as I had making them .

1) Please let the kids do their own work. As parents our duty is to guide them and teach them how to fly and not fly for them

2) Many schools burden their kids with excessive home work and ruin the holidays. Remember fun, play and rest are as important as studies

 If kids are stuck in school mindset
When will they get to explore
That which is most important – life?

~Stuart Young

 

3) Make plans and trash them 😉

4) Teachers are you ready .. 😆

wishing every heart a great fun week ahead 🙂

June Mantra-

 If you want change – CONTRIBUTE

Child Sexual Abuse AWARENESS Month- Childhood is about weaving Dreams not Living Nightmares

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves..~ Proverbs31:8

April is National Child Sexual Abuse Awareness month.

• We need to get up and start working on this issue.
• Join hands to secure this world for our kids.
• Lot has to be done in this field,small and/or big scale.
• Educating kids about Wrong and Right touches,
• Talking to them more about it and again and agin till they understand they are surrounded by People who will Listen, People who Care, People who will Fight for them.
• It is very important that a child has a SAFE EAR where they can go without hesitation and talk about their concerns. Be that safe ear.
• WE live in a society where Victims of any abuse hide in shame and feel guilty whereas the real culprits roam around freely- this has to change, society has to change, we have to bring this change.

childhood should be carefree

fun, games, sand and puddles

childhood shouldn’t hurt

childhood shouldn’t be about wrong touches

‘ don’t tell your mom It’s our secret’

‘if you tell your parents they will think you are bad’

childhood shouldn’t be hiding under the bed

scared to come out,scared to face the world

childhood should be green and mud on knees

not blood and pain and nightmares

childhood should be playing with parents

asking them for stories and toys

not hiding from them

Childhood is about weaving dreams

not broken ones

A note to Parents and every one who Cares –

• 1 out of 5 boys will be Sexually Abused by their 18th Birthday
• 1 out of 3 Girls will be Sexually Abused by their 18th Birthday 
•  A child is Sexually Abused every 2 minutes
• Estimated 95% of children who are sexually Abused know the abuser, and in many cases, loves & trusts that person.
• The Abuse may consist of a single incident or many acts over a long period of time.
• It is more often perpetrated by someone known to the child.
• Abuse may escalate over time,particularly is the abuser is is a family member.
• You may be thinking…” That could never happen to my Child” sadly it can and does happen to kids…Never assume that just because you know where your child is and who they are with, That this could never happen to them. 
• Never Assume that if this happens or is happening to your child that they would tell you.
• Sexual Predators know how to silence Children and as a Parent, your understaing of this horrific crime is Imperative for your childs safety.

Child abuse is a community problem and its prevention can only succeed through  the involvement of social service agencies, schools, hospitals, religious and  civic organizations, law enforcement, the business community, and private  citizens

Be Careful Be Vigilant Be Active in your kids life

Listen to your kid

Watch people around them

Listen ANDInvestigate

And Fight

Fight with all you have- ‘if and when’

“The World is a Dangerous Place to live,not because of the people who are Evil, But Beause of the People who don’t do anything about it”

B FOR BOO, ONE O SILENT

Hashtag Boogart

There will never be another ghost like him

So full of vim, So driven by whim

Munching on toasts, Haunting the coasts

Hashtag Boogart

Huge Grunge fan , sporting Tattoos and Tan

used to live with me not so long ago

He was scared of the Boos (sometimes of his own)

Shivered and sweated everytime he heard a Coo

Felt dizzy at the sight of Jimmy choos and Candy yoos

He was scared of everything that had a double O

even the toos, the Loos, and the Moos

Boogart was scared of zoos

and there was nothing I could do for him

He hated ducks and drakes

Despised the designer fakes

Scowled at the screeching sound of sudden brakes

He hated everything that rhymed with snakes

even the cakes, the lakes and the snow flakes

Boogart was scared of  zoos

Boogart hated milk shakes

and there was nothing , oh nothing

I could ever do for him

He would get cramps just looking at leams

Break in hives if he accidental feasted on breams

Sneeze and wheeze if exposed to steams and screams

He was allergic to everything that had ‘eams’

even the fleams, the up streams and the creams

Boogart was scared of zoos

hated milkshakes

was allergic to dreams

and oh unlucky me

I could never ever ever do anything for him

Poor Boogart hiding as a wallpaper after some kids shouted boo at him.

That is why last Friday

people from

The Ghost Welfare Committee ( T.G.W.C)

took him away from me

I live alone in my, now not so haunted mansion

while Hashtag Boogart

once my pet Ghost

lives in a zoo

with ice creams on every menu

and is given a bed made of cornflakes.

  

Hashtag Boogart

I miss him toogart.

*************

My Dear Dearest Friend  STUART visited Boogart in the zoo and this is what he had to say-

Alas poor Boogart, I visited him there.
In the zoo, where everyone stared.
‘Boo us ghosty’ – how the crowd howled.
But poor Boogart simply scowled.
He tried to tell them to get out of there.
But the sound that they heard was breeze in the air.
Misery, blisery, booing and hoo
Poor Boogart doesn’t belong in a zoo.
A mansion with webs,
Hanging down from the stairs,
Is where he belongs.
He’d be happier there.

Autism- Let’s have Fun

2nd April is World Autism Awareness Day. I will be wearing Blue, talking about it, helping people understand Myths and Facts surrounding Autism.

• eg- Moms who watch horror movies during their pregnancy give birth to Autistic kids–hell no, that will only make the kid see dead people!
• Autistic kids are born to parents who believe in Alien invasions, ughh, no again. They will have a kid born with tin foil covering the head…… get the point.

I have always believed if you are not having fun you are not doing it right. No matter what you do, do it with all your heart and you will enjoy the journey. An anxious worried parent cannot raise a happy child.

The mantra is fun and Honesty. be crazy, be love, be structured, be mess, be understanding, be considerate, give space to your kid, believe in giving not just 2nd or 3rd but 1000 chances, one day success- next day what happened- no problem let’s start again!

There is no one way to live with autism, what works for you may or may not help others, let’s not blindly follow others and let’s not force others to follow our ways.

no medicines unless 100% sure of its origin and effects.

Well that’s that now let’s have fun.

Inside the head of an autism Mom there is a weird ninja fun zone, but she isn’t born with it, this kind of madness and insanity takes unlearning and learning 100,000 times.  But once you reach this madness its fun not just for the parent but also the kid.

 Human brain has two sides, left and right and I have a third one, which keeps shifting its position and makes me write weird posts and make strange cartoons and doodles. It is called floating craziness, can be seen in mirror and it has its own shadow too and it helps me understand Autism.

With help of this third part of brain I made some fun Autism Doodles and cartoons, hope you enjoy.

1) AUSTISM IS TOODLING DOODLING GOOGLING FOODLE

2)JEDI IS ONLINE 

3) CONFUSALORE- IT STARTED AS A RACE, BUT NO ONE IS SURE ANYMORE

4) THINK OUTSIDE THE TOILET,COS I GOTTA GO

5) CRUISE THE COUCH

6) IS SHE AN ANGEL,IS SHE A NINJA, OH LOOK IT’S AN AUTISM MOM

7) OPPA AUTISA STYLE OP OP OP OP

♥♥♥♥♥

Now a fun question

WHAT IS A LEOPORABBIT

1) An animal who is Leopard by day and rabbit by night.

2) A rabbit wearing leopard print.

3) A leopard who loves carrots.

4) A crocodile with funky name
