Representation in Children’s Literature- Gender, Race and More with Pratha Shetty- 62

Did you know that gender parity will not be achieved for another century? Can you believe that in children’s literature there are more books about trucks than about female protagonists? Even though Children’s Literature has a lot to offer now in terms of equal representation, there’s a long way to go. I discuss this, my experiences and some simple yet effective solutions with Pratha Shetty in this episode. Pratha is the author of a children's colouring book- When I Grow Up. In this book, kids can colour the pictures of notable women from around the world. This not only tells them about inspiring women but also sensitizes them towards different races. Tune in to our talk to find out what kind of inputs to give to our kids so that they are more accepting and aware.

Do you like to bury your sadness in food or are you someone who stops eating when sad. Gorging on ice-creams and chocolates when wistful is ok sometimes but when it becomes a pattern, it can be a case of Emotional Eating. On the other hand, if you shun food when feeling sad, it can also be Emotional Eating. This condition affects us not only physically but also mentally. The roots of Emotional Eating can go back to our childhood too. Hence, it’s important to identify it and heal completely.

Find Your Child’s Natural Genius and Nurture It with DMIT- 57

Getting your kid admitted in all the ‘trending’ classes is what a lot of parents do these days. They feel that their child has to be good at everything whether it’s studies, dance, sports or chess. Some other parents are unsure whether to get their child enrolled in any extracurricular activities at all. This is where DMIT (Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test) or simply put Brain Mapping can help. DMIT is a psychometric analysis based on fingerprints but it has its roots in science and not astrology.

The test reports help you and your child in understanding their strengths, weaknesses and overall personality which are vital in deciding their career path. Not just kids, DMIT helps adults in understanding themselves better and is even used by employers to make the best use of their employees’ skills.

Some doctors are against DMIT and don’t believe its scientific connection.

To understand this better, I speak to DMIT Consultant and Parent Educator Khushi Hinduja who explains the scientific facts behind DMIT, how it helps and how you can get it done. This episode will introduce you to a new concept and if you are already aware of DMIT, this episode will help you decide whether you want to get the analysis done for your kid.

The Truth Behind Biodegradable Pads and How to Make Your Period Better and Sustainable- Smita Kulkarni, Stonesoup- 56

Many of us are aware that disposable pads generate waste that won’t be decomposed for hundreds of years. Even biodegradable disposable pads take at least two years to decompose which again is too long compared to the guidelines for degradable waste. Degradable waste has to decompose in 45-60 days to be used as compost.

This shows that any kind of disposable pads aren’t good for the environment. Moreover, most pads contain extremely harmful chemicals that affect the women using them. Not to mention the discomfort of wearing pads. Enter menstrual cups and reusable cloth pads- two products that can make a massive difference to the amount of waste produced.

In this episode, I speak to Smita Kulkarni, Co-Founder of Stonesoup, a brand that makes sustainable living easier. She talks about the lies that disposable pad brands tell us and why using cups is a better idea for your own body too. She also explains that cloth pads aren’t as much work to manage as we think. In-fact, once we get used to any of these sustainable options, we won’t go back to the discomfort of disposable facts. Tune in to understand why reusing is hygienic and how we can switch to a comfortable period.
