As Independence Day draws near, how do we get our children to feel the rootedness of a particular tradition or culture that makes them feel proud to be Indian? We can help our children see patriotism as an environmental virtue if we show them how to care for natural beauty, resources, and the health of one’s country and its people.
Our managing editor Jyothi Prabhakar, who feels strongly about environmental causes, lists out a few practical ways parents can help children understand the connection between love for their country and the importance of caring for the environment.

Parenting is not merely about raising kids. It involves doing so many different things at various levels that range from developing patience to understanding the meaning of unconditional love. And it would not be wrong to say that parenting is truly one of the best, hands-on management training programs that there is.

Hey parents, don’t we all love to share the antics of our children🧒👧? It could be innocent silly things they do or say or those unforgettable parenting disasters of ours! We all have a lot to share about our parents and the way they parented us, too! With so many stories to tell, what greater joy can there be than parents coming together to share their struggles and triumphs with each other?

With a vision to create such a space, ParentCircle came up with #ParentsOfIndia - here Indian parents from around the world can share their stories with each other.

Share it with us at parentsofindia@parentcircle.com and we will publish it on our platform where it can reach a wide audience. We would love it if you could share photos to bring your stories alive — selfies, mobile phone pics, all are welcome!
