5 ways to give milk to toddlers

3 kids, all with distinct likes and dislikes. Sounds challenging, right? Well that’s motherhood for you. I guess the trickiest part of any mother’s life is how to make her running-at-the-mere-sight-of-broccoli children eat healthy foods. Milk, however, is the most neglected protein.
“But, why do I have to drink milk? It tastes so boring!” This sentence is familiar to all the mothers. Well, instead of just forcing your kids to drink milk, why not come up with some creative ideas? Children should look forward to drinking milk instead of calling it boring. Find out what they love to eat or drink and see if adding milk doesn’t make them ask for more. I always have some great tricks up my sleeves which I use to sneak milk into my children’s diet.

Standards of Beauty

“Oh, don’t you worry little girl, I have just the perfect remedy for that horrible acne on your face”.

“Beta, use ubtan with milk and honey daily to lighten that rather… dark complexion of yours.”

“No offense, but you should start dieting because with that weight of yours, no one will want to marry you.”

Now, why do these statements sound strangely familiar? They are certainly not euphonious in nature, then why are they so commonly directed at us females?

The society has created this very stereotypical, unreasonable image of how a woman is supposed to look like. According to their narrow mind-sets, a slim fair-skinned girl cladded in pink overalls and traditional shalwar kameez is the “real” girl, and this is how every girl is supposed to look like. We don’t see science proving that fair skin is healthy or being slim is attractive (not that it is not, but what I mean to say is that neither being curvaceous is unattractive) then why is it ingrained into our minds from the start that being dark is equivalent to being ugly?
