Actress
Chhavi Mittal
is currently trying to balance her professional and personal life. The actress is busy as a bee with fulfilling her work commitments alongside managing two little babies.
The actress also takes out time to guide new mothers who are confused about nurturing their babies. In a post put up today, the actress mentioned that it was unfair to the little kids whose parents constantly are in a hurry for it to lift its neck and later, sit and walk. She drew parallels to how this initiates competition within the kids from a few months after their birth. She also stated that her little one Arham has started to hold grip.
She wrote, "Yesterday I shared a post with little @arhamhussein where he was seen with sister @areezahussein . I couldn't help but notice a similar response from many parents. "My LO is not holding his/her neck yet, how old is Arham". Dear parents, Let's not start putting pressure on our LOs at this tender age itself! Pressure to be first. First to hold their necks, start turning, sitting, talking, walking... This is how performance pressure sets in.. the habit of always being in a race. To come first in class, have the best job, earn the highest salary, driving the fanciest car, living in the fanciest house... the list never ends. My post was about the simple joys that define our whole life.. and many of you missed the joy, and found a dampener in the form of your LO not lifting his/her neck! Every baby/child/mother/human being is different. Everyone has their own qualities, shortcomings, habits, idiosyncracies... Let's not compare.. but try to find the best within our own lives. Having said that, I also take this opportunity to once again stress on natural labour! I feel, my little @arhamhussein has crossed his first milestone of lifting his head beautifully because I allowed him to stay inside the womb for as long as he wanted to. I did not induce although it became increasingly difficult during the last few weeks. I felt it has made a HUGE difference in his early developmental skills. Hence, unless there is an emergency, maybe my pregnant friends can try to go as natural as possible too!
Meanwhile, share with me what your LO does best that defines him/her and makes him/her different from the rest."
The actress in conversation with TimesofIndia.com, stated how her kids bond with each other very well. "My daughter is a darling. She amazes me with her maturity and at times I feel relatively amateurish. There are times when she is just the perfect elder sister to Arham. So once I had to go to the restroom and it was only I and Areeza in the house. Arham was sleeping and I had asked her to keep an eye on the baby monitor and see if Arham wakes up and calm him if he does. Areeza did such a fantastic job. She did not get up even once and was disappointed when Arham didn't wake up as she wanted to go and shush him. There are times when Areeza goes to his room to wake him up in the morning and when she is back from school, he has a big smile on his face. Areeza and Arham bond really well. There are times when she does feel of wanting the same things as Arham, like a car seat but we as parents do tell her that she had it when she was a kid and that Arham doesn't have things that she has. So it's all a balance."
