Part I Children Day Series
November 20th is Universal Children Day but as we all know November 14th is celebrated Indian Children Day in honor of first Indian Prime Minister Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru. And what better way to celebrate the childrenhood than conversing about and connecting with our own children? Raising children is challenging in any society, times, and culture but that is made even more challenging when all those factors differ significantly between the two generation like for us immigrants who are raised in very different times, society, and culture that our children can hardly relate to and vice versa. But we the parents are the one who has to take the first step.
