We are deeply sorry to share with you the news that Sudha Kumar, the Publisher of ParentEdge, passed away on 19 November, leaving behind a void in the office as well as in our lives. A mentor to us all, she was the inspiration behind ParentEdge, and her absence will be keenly felt. All of us at ParentEdge are working to ensure that it’s ‘business as usual’—that’s how she would have wanted it—as we continue researching and writing on parenting and educational trends, drawing inspiration
from her ideas and vision. We thought that a story on sports and fitness, so essential for Indian children today, was long overdue and hence the Cover Story of this issue is on ‘What Sports can Offer your Child.’ We have narrowed this down for the little ones with a Young Parents’ Corner article on ‘How Little Children Benefit from Outdoor Play’. Good health is a combination of regular exercise and eating well, so our Practical Nutrition article focuses on the dangers of excessive salt intake. In the same vein, the Wellness feature explores a topic that has caused confusion and much debate—‘Vaccines for Children: Are they Essential?’ Parenting, while one of the most delightful things you will ever do, is often difficult and stressful, a fact that parents of teenagers will attest to readily enough! Find out how to defuse potentially explosive situations in our series of articles: ‘Communicating with Teenagers’ (Making Sense of Adolescence), ‘Does your Child Refuse to Go to School?’ (Everyday Parenting), and ‘Is your Child Facing Social Isolation?’ (Parenting Quotient). We have our usual range of articles around different educational aspects as well—a College Education Abroad article on ‘Going Abroad for an Undergrad’, a Demystifying Education article on ‘Understanding the Play Way Method of Preschool Education,’ and more...

The parenting journey is fraught with anxiety and situations of self-doubt. At ParentEdge, we address the top-of-the-mind concerns of parents, discuss the latest developments and trends,demystify systems and concepts and so on. Education is a prime concern for all parents and an area where we make significant investments of money, time and energy. A natural outcome is the trend of reports with school and college rankings. How can we use these well? The Cover Story dwells on this. Every street seems to have a ‘Montessori House of Children’. While some of us may wonder what Montessori is, others may have certain perceptions of the system – the Demystifying Education article attempts to separate the myths from the facts. As parents we are concerned with tracking our child’s growth and well-being. But are we using supplements wisely or mindlessly? This issue’s Wellness article outlines the situations and phases in a child’s life when supplements are essential, and when they may actually be harmful. What are the unique challenges faced by adoptive families? Let us understand these through the Family Matters article. We caution our children not to blindly follow trends or happening’ things. But we are ourselves often carried away by media blitz and Internet advice when it comes to choosing our diet – we are tempted to jump onto the olive oil or quinoa bandwagon. The Nutrition article explores the facts behind these trending foods and suggests using locally grown, less expensive alternatives that give the same nutritional benefits.
Where do we draw the line between being an involved parent and a hyper parent or helicopter parent? Are we mollycoddling and spoon feeding our children too much?
We are often left wondering this. The Parenting Quotient article has a quiz that will help you diagnose this, and take corrective action. The article in the Everyday Parenting section takes this theme further, outlining the day-to-day steps to take to make our children self-reliant.

Did you enjoy ParentEdge’s new avatar (in the July-August 2015 issue), with
expert-authored articles and brand-new features? We introduce some more
features in this issue, nicely rounding off the magazine to include something
for everyone—young parents and parents of teenagers—on a range of topics—
education, parenting, behaviour, health and interests.
Check out the latest features introduced in this issue: The High School Years
(‘Subject Choice after Grade 10: What to Keep in Mind’), which will explore the
myriad educational issues that are in focus during the important high school
period, and Wellness (‘The Pros and Cons of Antibiotics Use in Children’), a
paediatrician-authored feature addressing top-of-mind medical concerns related
to your children.

Welcome to the Fourth Anniversary Issue of ParentEdge. As we step
into another year of parenting together, we want to thank you for all
the support, feedback, suggestions and ideas. Do keeping writing in.
To mark our fourth anniversary, we have brought in a significant
change. This issue onwards, you will see articles authored by experts
in various fields related to children. While expert opinions and indepth
research were always an integral part of ParentEdge articles,
these expert-authored articles are an opportunity for you to receive
insights ‘straight from the horse’s mouth’!
You will also see new sections; ‘Making Sense of Adolescence’,
‘Family Matters’, ‘Demystifying Education’, ‘Fitness Funda’ and
‘Parenting Quotient’ make their debut in this issue.
As for the old favourites, the Everyday Parenting article shows you
how to encourage questioning in your child, the Young Parents’
Corner feature explains how social skills slowly but surely develop in
young children, and the Practical Nutrition article demonstrates how
you should decode the messages, claims and information given on
packaged foods. A timely read given the number of new food product
launches and the advertising blitzkrieg in this space.
The Cover Story focuses on this information overload on your family
– and the influence that advertisements have. Book Reviews, Quick
Resources (top smart phone applications for parents), Ask an Expert
(parenting queries answered) and Product Review (innovative, new
puzzle games from MadRat Games), are all in the magazine for you to
enjoy and make use of.

Is there any parent today who does not want his children to be achievers? Some parents
may pursue academic excellence, while others a more holistic development that includes
sports, the arts, and even community service. We invest a lot in our children and expect
them to make the most of the opportunities offered to them. Our Cover Story in this
issue delves into what it takes to raise a high achiever. We spoke to adults and students
who are high achievers in different fields, and we bring you their learnings, insight, and
tips. Read ‘How to Raise a High Achiever’ to understand what you need to do to set your
children on the path to accomplishment.
You will notice that many of our articles in this issue focus on technology. Technology is
all-pervasive and inescapable, and technology-led learning is the present and future of
our educational system. While we have previously spoken about the role of e-learning in
high school, we now choose to focus on ‘How Technology is Enriching Primary Education’
in Young Parents’ Corner. Follow this up by our Quick Resources article—‘Interesting
and Useful Websites for Children’. If all this is too much for you, don’t worry. It is not
uncommon for parents to feel left behind by their technology-intelligent children.
But take a deep breath, relax and read our Everyday Parenting article ‘Why and How
Parents should Stay in Touch with Technology’. This should help you gear up to meet the
challenge of remaining on top of technology.
Career Track discusses vocational courses, and College Education Abroad, ‘Why
you Should do a Co-op Programme in College’. Our Transitions feature touches on an
important life-change—‘Moving Homes and Countries’. We also wrap up our long running
MI at Home series, with ‘Applying the Theory of Multiple Intelligences to Actual
Learning’.
A much-needed and sure-to-be-savoured article, ‘Should Your Child Snack?’ (Nutrition
and Wellness) and our usual fun articles—Book Reviews (with a science fiction theme),
