Children learn emotion management and conflict resolution skills from watching their parents. Emotionally immature parents are unable be a role model and guide their children. Children learn to either suppress emotions or express them inappropriately.

We all engage in the year end ritual of reflecting and taking stock of the year as the year ends. We tend to focus on things that didn’t go well for us; may that be personal or professional failures or disappointments.
Step back from yourself and reflect in a nonjudgmental way. Be realistic and kind to yourself. There is always something we can learn from this exercise.

Christmas celebrations in non-Christian immigrant families is different. Some parents are OK with decorating a Christmas tree and giving presents to their children. Some are not.
It’s up to each family to decide how they want to celebrate or not.
It’s helpful to consider your children’s mixed identities. Also it’s helpful to move toward cultural exchange and building bridges between cultures.

We had a discussion on accepting compliments in our Shakti group. The common thread was grooming since childhood, especially for girls. Girls are taught to be selfless, caring and to be modest by brushing off their talents and contributions at home and outside. This is true for my generation. Compliments are given wholeheartedly too.
We can still change by accepting compliments graciously without feeling guilty or self-serving.
What’s your experience? Post in comments please.
