Re: [iyer123] CULTURAL QA 12-2022-03
lessons that come with failure, they’ll never develop the perseverance they need to rise back up after a setback. 3. Overindulging your kids Kids love stuff, and parents love giving it to them. But research shows <https://www.heysigmund.com/how-to-increase-self-control-in-children/> that when you give your kids whatever they desire, they miss out on skills related to mental strength, such as self-discipline. You want your kids to grow up knowing that it’s possible to achieve what they want — if they work for it. Parents can teach their kids learn self-control by setting clear rules for things like finishing homework before screen time or doing chores to boost allowance (so they can buy things on their own, while knowing they* earned* it). 4. Expecting perfection It’s natural to want your child to aim for big goals and be the best at everything. But that’s not how things work. Setting the bar too high leads can lead to self-esteem and confidence issues later in life. Build mental strength in your kids by making sure expectations are realistic. And even if your kids don’t meet them, the setbacks they face will still teach them valuable life lessons and how to succeed the next time around. 5. Making sure they always feel comfortable There are many things that might make your kid feel uncomfortable, especially when it involves doing something new: Trying new foods, making new friends, playing a new sport or moving homes and having to go to a new school. But just like failure, embracing uncomfortable moments can boost mental strength. Encourage your kids to try new things. Help them get started, because that’s the hardest part. But once they take that first step, they might realize that it isn’t as difficult as they thought it’d be — and that they might even be good at it! 6. Not setting parent-child boundaries You want your kids to make their own decisions, but they also need to know you’re the boss. For example, if you set a curfew for your 12-year-old, make sure they stick to it every night (or as much as possible). Kids who are mentally strong have parents who understand the importance of boundaries and consistency. Caving in and allowing rules to be negotiated too often can lead to power struggles between you and your child. 7. Not taking care of yourself The older we get, the harder it becomes to maintain healthy habits (e.g., eating healthy, exercising daily, taking time to restore). That’s why it’s important to model self-care habits for your kids. It’s also critical to practice healthy coping skills in front of your children. For example, if you’re stressed about work, consider telling your child, “I had a very tiring day at work, and I’m going to relax with tea and a book.” *Tracy Hutchinson* <https://www.drtracyhutchinson.com/>*, PhD, LMHC, is a therapist with over 18 years of clinical experience.

She is also older; because even at 80s she is working hard.

CULTURAL QA 12-2022-03 BEING A COMPILATIONTHERE MAY BE ERRORS Q1 What is normal in Mumbai, but weirdin other places? A1 Kandarp Joshi, Lives in Canada(2019–present)Wed Large families living in extremely small, one roomhouses. It's fairly normalfor poor people to live in small houses. But even if one is middleclass, earning well, then too living in a one room house that too in jointfamilies is not at all considered weird in Mumbai. Mumbai, a city ofdreams in India, is facing severe problems of over population and the city is a peninsula. So theyhave limited space to expand. I visited myfather's childhood friend once, before few years. They had 5 adults living in avery small one room house. That guy, his wife his son and daughter, and hismother. We were 4 who visited them. And his son and daughter hadto go for a walk to make some space for us to sit comfortably. And to my surprise,that guy told my father that a developer offered them 70 lacs INR (85,000 USDapprox) at that time for that place. The builder wanted it for redevelopment. Idon't remember the area, but it felt like a downtown. But they were happy there as the place was near to theirwork and everyone living around them was like a family. I couldn't have hadsurvived even one night at that place due to claustrophobia. And they weredwelling there for years.Mumbaihas less space but big hearts, indeed. Q2 What are the benefits of letting yourblood flow to your head? For instance, doing a handstand against a wall. A2 Ken Saladin, Former professor ofhistology (microscopic anatomy)9h I doubt thatthere’s any benefit to it. It might even present more risk than benefit—such asstroke or, if an undetected aneurysm were present, its rupture. It feels quiteunpleasant to me to hang upside down, and I find it hard to see that posture asbeneficial in any way. My note- It is a good advice to those performseershasanam. Q3 How does dust on a window airconditioner affect its cooling capacity? A3 Gopala Krishnan, Former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966–2004)Just now In split air conditioners there will be dust filtersin the indoor unit . Further there could be dust on surface just being in aroom. Dust in filtersobstruct entering cool air to the indoor unit, though produced by thecompressor. After taking outthe outer cover, cleaning the filter with brush and washing with water andrefitting and placing would make a lot of change in cooling. One should notforget to clean outer cover also. It ispreferable to carry out the work with skilled/ semiskilled people than by self.Even an accidental fall of cover may break it’s fitting points with the unit. Q4 Do all trains in India have separateclasses for second sitting and sleeper coaches? A4 Prasanna Bhalerao, Knows abouttrains.4h In India, thetrains of the following main types: Day time long(ish)distance commuter trains (express) Night time longdistance sleeper trains (mail/express) Slow trainsstopping at all stations (known as passenger trains) I am not including suburban transport in the above suchas Mumbai/Chennai locals, Metros in various cities, etc.Within the above, there are premium (full AC) trains, superfast trains,non-superfast trains, etc. ***Generally sleeper trains will not be having sittingreserved class. They will have one or more of the following classes: AC First Class(1A) AC 2-Tier Sleeper (2A) AC 3-Tier Sleeper(3A) (please never call this as 3rd AC; IR does not have a 3rd class) AC 3-Tier EconomySleeper (3E) (please never call this as 3rd AC; IR does not have a 3rd class) 3-Tier (non-AC)Sleeper class (S) - same as 3A but without AC (all of the above are sleeper class coaches) General/unreserved class General classreserved for ladies only or disabled only The day-time trainswill not be having any sleeper-type reserved class. They will have one or moreof the following classes: AC Executive ClassSitting (EC) AC Chair CarSitting (CC) Second ClassSitting (2S) General/unreservedclass General classreserved for ladies only or disabled only Long distance slow trains (passenger trains) will havegeneral unreserved and sometime a 3-Tier (non-AC) sleeper coach. My note- At onetime we had sleeper cum sitting non AC coaches. We could reserve for seat/sleeper. Thesee coaches have been withdrawn by railway now. Q5 Will the human ovum that are releasedand didn't get fertilized be absorbed again or will they get discharged withthe shed of uterine lining in menstruation? A5 Ken Saladin, Former professor ofhistology (microscopic anatomy) Nov 27 If an ovum isn’t fertilized, it dies in about 12 to 24 hours, even before itcan reach the uterus. By the time of menstruation ~2weeks later, there’s no trace of it left. It disintegrates long before then. My note- I have added this QA for information about ovum
