In my working life, I was a preschool teacher and the 2 year child was the most interesting and fun stage to me. They know just enough to be dangerous! They have enough skills accumulated to really have a sense of themselves and the agency that those skills bring. They also seem to think they can do anything, anywhere, anytime, which is where attentive and loving adults are crucial. The balance between being protective yet encouraging is a vital parental skill at this point. I love that you are so curious and pay so much attention to Rohan's growth and individual being. Thank you.,

Have you read the Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny? I highly recommend it… still deeply immersed in this tome which is tricky with a 2yr old in tow… though worth the try. I love your reflective entries and think you’ll get a kick out of this dive into traditional life back in India v. life in NYC for two young Indian expats.

I've been curious about it! Thanks for the recommendation and reminder.

That's a great quote! Also love the contrast of the red pages-a simple change that has huge impact

Yes it's my new favorite page color! Influenced by some drawings of Eleanor Doughty.

Yes - 2 year olds can be very Zen human beings.

Are the zoom sessions available for replay after the event?

Nishant Jain's avatar

It seems zoom recordings are not high definition enough to be worth sharing, especially for detailed work like this. 😕 Alternative suggestions welcome!

I see. I think zoom is ok for live meetings, but your audience is worldwide in different time zones with many different time commitments, so it’s a major limiting factor.

I’m sure you know that there are a ton of streaming solutions out there but they all have some kind of cost implications.

Yes, I think the global audience needs and deserves good quality recordings.

..and the local audience can also benefit from sessions available to view at convenient times.
