Misc 15: Mental pressure

Am purposefully keeping the little one under a bit of a mental pressure because of the rooting of one of his teeth. He has not been able to detach the same from his jaws despite having one coming up behind it.

Sharing 24: Static electricity

No, I am not into explanation of teh details of the same. He shall have to fend for himself the same when he grows up. I remember reading it in our Physics nook,"Concise Physics". Time only shall tell which book he shall follow for understanding teh concepts of static electricity.
I showed him the famous experiment of attracting paper pieces by placing a plastic ruler rubber rubbed on hair. I saw an Eureka expression on his face after many months.

Sharing 23: Presidents...

Vacation started from 20th Feb.. I had planned something for his engagement. The first among them is the list of Presidents of India.
I have given him a printout with the names, their period in office and a brief about them. Hope he appreciates the same, goes through it and adds something to his gray matter.

Sharing 22: Shastri

Today, the lil one was a bit low while going to school. The reason primarily was because of his wearing shorts. He was afraid that all students would have worn full trousers and he would be the only one in shorts. he was made to understand by his mother that he only was responsible for the situation courtesy regular and intense dirtying of the full trousers.
I hope he manages well in school today.
To divert his attention, I shared with him the famous river crossing experience of Lal Bahadur Shastri. Honesty and boldness afterall were very important virtues which pay dividend later.

Sharing 21: still on geography

I tried speaking to him about isthumus and gulf. The physical description (read verbal) took place while dropping him at school. However, it was time for explanation on the globe in the late evening hours after I was back from work on 15-Feb..
