MONSOON ILLNESSES TO
SAFEGUARD YOUR CHILD FROM
M
onsoons are here and we’re all ex-
pecting some respite from the heat.
However, with monsoons, there is al-
ways an increased danger of various illness-
es. Especially, when it comes to kids, parents
must be extremely vigilant. Not only do the
rains welcome a host of diseases and infec-
tions, but it also creates an environment where
the viruses thrive. The humidity and high
moisture content in the air becomes a breed-
ing ground for the microorganisms that cause
illnesses.
Some of the common illnesses to
be aware of in the monsoons are
as follows:
COMMON COLD AND FLU
T he rainy season gives light to a number
of airborne diseases, including the com-
mon cold and the flu infection. A common
cold occurs due to a sudden change in the
temperatures, and affects people with weak
immune systems. Flu or influenza spreads
from one person to another through aerosol
droplets in the air.
Symptoms include a mild fever, cough,
sore throat, runny nose, fatigue, body pain,
and in some cases, gastrointestinal issues.
VECTOR-BORNE DISEASES
M alaria, dengue and chikungunya are
some of the most common mosquito-
borne illnesses. Those suffering from these
illnesses may develop debilitating symptoms
including high fever, extreme body pain,
rashes, vomiting, joint pain, fatigue and
abdominal cramps. In most cases of vector-

matter of concern, es-

But what’s shocking is that
it is often overlooked or un-

One of the primary rea-
sons why bullies escape or
evade consequences is be-
cause the victims choose to
let the instances go unre-

ten subject to bullying go
through a myriad of emo-

and are fearful of their sup-

reasons behind why they do
not tell anyone about the
problem.

How gender stereotyping
of toys can be avoided
PARENTING 101
W
hat we are born as has
nothing to do with what
is expected of us in the
form of norms, roles and
relationships. That said, gender
stereotyping i.e., the practice of as-
cribing an individual with specific
roles, characteristics and attributes,
has made it difficult for people to be
as they are, to feel what they want and
to do.
This practice starts from a young
age. When a parent picks out toys for
their children, most commonly, it is
the pink doll (supposedly more femi-
nine) for the girl child and the big
truck or a toy gun (more masculine
or macho) for the boy-child.
According to the social norms,
which are not bound by any official
laws, certain toys are said to be ap-
propriate for girls and others made
for boys. Irrespective of what the child
wants for himself or herself, society
is keen to decide what toys are best
suited for them. This instantly cre-
ates a chain of other stereotypical be-
haviours in kids, where they are con-
stantly pressured to act according to
what is expected of them by society.
As parents, it is important to know
that you are not imposing gender
stereotypes on your child while se-
lecting toys. Here’s how you can break
the barriers and avoid stereotyping
toys.

 Toys can be educational, fun and

some toys can be harmful for both your

Instead of trying to pick toys based on
your child’s sex, select toys that are
safe for them.
