My little grand daughter was counting 1, 2, 3.... 19......29,
twenty ten, twenty eleven, twenty twelve, twenty thirteen ...
Some how it did not seem very odd.
I realized that we call this year as twenty thirteen.
May that was the reason the strange counting
DID not appear as strange as they should have.

This kid is not exposed to many sweet things other kids enjoy naturally!
Sugar, sweets, candy, comic, cartoons.....:bump2:

When she hurt the inner side of her upper lip and was in pain,
I sprinkled some sugar under her lip.

She stopped crying and said it was yummy. She thought for a second and said,
" I must take this sugar treatment for some more days I think"

She was happier since she was allowed to skip brushing her teeth before going to bed!

Little Buddhda???

There was a talk about some very old people.
How they became ill due to their old age.
How they had disappeared from the face of the earth.
This little Buddha started crying saying that,
"Nobody should grow old.
Nobody should become sick and
nobody should be gone for ever."
We had a hard time in making her cheerful again!

We call the kids with the siffix kutty.
So it is VaruN kutty, Tejas kutty etc.
This cutie knows HOW to impress people.
She called my youngest sister as "paatti kutti!" :becky:
Naturally my sister was very pleased and made the little girl
wear a sari with the paavaadai cloth bought for her.
She wouldn't' let us remove it until it was bed time.

JuJu kutty (as she calls herself)
is good in the game of pretense.

Her tiny doll is her own alter ego.
She becomes the alter ego of her own other.

She does to the doll-child everything
she wants her mother to do to her.

She has a tiny feeding bottle, bib and
change of clothes for her doll.

She PROTECTS it with the ferocity
of a lioness or a tigress!!!

In short she will make an excellent mother
when she grows up. :thumb:

These little children make plans in thier tiny heads as to
what our day is going to be on any particular day.

Yesterday Juju kutty was a perfect angel
when we visited my mother and sisters.

She warned my son that she would give him a hard time when it was time to go back to Coimbatore. Sure enough she stuck to her words!

Grilling with a warning??? :noidea:

The very young and the very old are equally demanding and stubborn in every respect.
The ONLY difference lies in the levels of energy.
In a child it is 100% and in the very old it might be ~10%

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

The name second childhood is perfectly justified since
they both DEMAND our constant attention and care.

Types of Intelligence








A high I.Q is required for academic excellence and it is readily recognized and widely acclaimed. But there are many other types of intelligences—equally important and equally great!

“Word smart” persons possess Linguistic Intelligence. These people can express complex meanings and emotions in simple words, both accurately and beautifully. Poets, novelists, journalists and public speakers belong to this category.

“Reasoning smart” persons possess Logical and Mathematical Intelligence. These people can calculate, reason out, quantify and form hypothesis. They are good in inductive as well as deductive methods of reasoning. Scientists, detectives and mathematicians belong to this group.

“Picture Smart” persons possess Spatial Intelligence. These people can imagine in three dimensions. They can form mental images, allocate space correctly, manipulate images, create graphics and are artistic. Sailors, pilots, sculptors, painters and architects belong to this category.

“Musical Smart” person possess Musical intelligence. They have a natural capacity to distinguish between various notes, pitches, timbres, tones and rhythms. Composers and conductors, musicians, vocalists and sensitive listeners all fall in this category.

“Body Smart” persons possess Body Kinesthetic Intelligence. They have the capacity to manipulate objects. They have physical skills and a perfect sense of timing. They have a sense of the body-mind-union. Athletes, dancers, surgeons and persons good in crafts fall in this category.

“Self Smart” persons possess Intrapersonal intelligence. They have the capacity to understand themselves as well as the feelings, thoughts and emotions of the others. Psychologists, philosophers and great spiritual leaders fall in this category.

“People Smart” persons possess Interpersonal intelligence. They excel in interpersonal dealings. They understand the sense, the moods and temperament of the people they are dealing with and do so effectively. They can communicate perfectly. Teachers, social workers, actors and politicians fall in this category.

“Nature smart” persons possess Naturalistic Intelligence. They have the ability to recognize various plants, animals, rocks, trees and clouds etc.These people enjoy fishing, hiking, camping and all out door activities. Persons with Naturalistic Intelligence show interest in Biology, Astronomy, Zoology and Meteorology.

“Existence smart” persons possess Existentialistic Intelligence. They enjoy the process of thinking and questioning.They are curious to know about life, death, life after death and the ultimate realities. Aristotle, Plato and Socrates belong to this category of persons with Existential Intelligence.

We need people with every kind of intelligence to make the world attractive and beautiful. All of them may not score the same I.Q, but are nevertheless equally great, in their chosen field of activity.

Find out your “special smartness” and cultivate it to become a successful person in life.
