With the ongoing pandemic that began in 2020, our whole focus has been on Covid-19, and we have somehow overlooked the threat and mishaps that Hepatitis can cause. “Hepatitis can't wait!” is the theme for World Hepatitis Day 2021. To make us all well aware about this condition, we have Dr Lovkesh Anand - Consultant – Gastroenterology of Manipal Hospitals.
Question: What is Hepatitis and what are its forms?
Answer: The term Hepatitis comes from two words, “Hepa” meaning liver and “it is” meaning inflammation. Thus, any inflammation or swelling of the liver is called as Hepatitis.
The various causes and forms are: Alcoholic, Non-alcoholic, Drug induced liver injury, and Viral Hepatitis
Question: Which kind or type of Hepatitis is more prevalent in kids?
Answer: Hepatitis is broadly classified as Acute Hepatitis & Chronic Hepatitis.
In Acute Hepatitis, the condition flares up suddenly and goes away. But in some rare cases it can also lead to either chronic hepatitis or can cause acute liver failure.
In Chronic Hepatitis, the condition is of long-term and might lead to permanent scaring , liver failure or even liver cancer.
Question: If a child is suffering from Hepatitis what are the symptoms?
Answer: There are 5 major types of Viral Hepatitis: Hepatitis, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis D, and Hepatitis E. Out of these A & E are more commonly seen in children. B & C are chronic forms which can also be seen in both adults and kids but in severe cases.
HAV infection in children is typically an acute, self-limited illness, but this does not develop jaundice at all. It is present as fever, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, discomfort, and diarrhea.

“Parenting & Childhood,” a Chimes Radio Original Podcast, introduces our listeners to “Dr. Pallavi Chaturvedi,” a trained parenting expert and coach. She is the Vice President of the Early Childhood Association, the Founder of Brainy Bear Pre-School, and the Founder of “Get Set Parent With Pallavi,” India's fastest-growing YouTube channel.
Dr. Pallavi discusses "Handling Anxiety in Kids During Lockdown" and various parenting approaches in this podcast. We all know how tough the year 2020 was with no outings, lockdown, and social contact coming to a halt, and now in 2021 with the sudden increase in cases again, children are greatly impacted. Dr. Pallavi put a positive spin on the situation, pointing out the opportunities for children to bond with their parents and vice versa.
Many parents enrolled their children in multiple online courses in addition to their usual online classes when the lockdown began, resulting in an increase in their screen time. But, as Dr. Pallavi put it, "Screen has become the teacher of children" because there is no other way.
It is difficult for children to deal with the numerous changes that have occurred as a result of the lockdown. Dr. Pallavi shared her concern and a few strategies to maintain psychological balance and wellness in children.
Validation - Parents must affirm and listen to their children's feelings about the situation. It is critical to provide them with age-appropriate information.Reassurance- Talk about the initiatives taken by families, neighborhoods, and the government to bring the situation under control.Don't put any pressure on kids- Now is not the time to put academic pressure on them or to over-discipline them. Allow the children to be themselves while still taking care of their mental health.Dr. Pallavi concluded with a few steps that can be taken for children once the situation has calmed down and the pandemic has passed. Listen in order to learn more about them.

Authors are often referred to as great observers as they tend to notice minute details which they pen down and share with the world. They bring characters to life with the ink of their pen. In this episode of Parenting & Childhood, we have Vibha Batra, an author, advertising consultant, poet, lyricist, translator, columnist, and playwriter. She has published 17 books which include writing for adults and also little kids.
“When writing for children, you have to be very careful. You cannot bore them even for a little bit.” Vibha said. There is a different reading mentality when it comes to adults, they prefer to read the complete book and then review it. But for children, they will just stop reading when bored. The two books for kids under 11 years old written by Vibha Batra are The Euro Trip & Merry the Elephant's Rainy Day. Listen to the podcast to know about all her 17 published works and all her other notable works.

In the last episode of Real Moms Real Stories, in association with The Champa Tree, our guest is Sonam Patel. Motherhood is a beautiful feeling but sometimes it can come with certain challenges. Sonam had her challenge when she had to deliver a premature baby of 33 weeks. Her baby was also diagnosed with Rubella within few days. But overcoming all the challenges, she stood by her son during his ear surgery at 3 months and heart surgery at 5 months. “Kudos to your bravery from Chimes Radio”!
It was a tough period for Sonam as a mother but her baby was very strong and soon he started to sit and walk by the age of 3. Even though it was hard for her family to deal with the situation but Sonam never gave up hope and always had a positive mindset. Sonam explained to us how special education is different from normal education at home. In the case of her son, after he started with special education, he did start expressing himself more and better. Even his listening time and activity time have also increased.
A child with special finds it hard to feel accepted in society. “Judgment and Momshaming is prevalent in our society”. People need to understand that every mom tries their best to be the best mom, best wife, and best daughter-in-law. Sonam like everyone was deeply affected by the judgment passed on by her parenting style but now she hardly cares since she knows that no one can treat her baby better than her.

Introducing Usri Sen, our third real mom of the series “Real Moms Real Stories” talking about her motherhood experience. In the professional world becoming a mother and taking a maternity break becomes a limitation for a woman. Society has made a definitive image and role of a mother. Mothers should not feel guilty about their professional life, they should rather have a balance between being rational and emotional. It is best to see and decide what is going to be best for the child in the long run. The equation with a child radically changes as he/she grows up as well as the trigger points of guilt. “What makes you feel guilty right now will be different from what will make you feel guilty in 10 or 3 years hence from now.”
People will always have a perception about you that cannot be controlled. They will give advice which has worked for them. But each experience is different, each state of mind is different, each child is unique and different. Advises that worked for certain people might or might not work for other parents. “A mother knows what’s best for the child.” The choice is always on mothers.
Usri shared her motherhood joy with us by sharing a few of her life’s experiences. She is thrilled to see how her son has started learning to understand things by just observing. Kids cannot be spoon-fed, they rather learn by observations.

We kick start our series of “Real Moms Real Stories” with such a mother who took the leap of faith and started something that had risks of its own. But she managed to touch the hearts of many with her creativity and grace. During the conversation, Ms. Anupama Dalmia shared her very thoughts on motherhood and stated that motherhood changes a person in a lot of ways. It helps women discover how strong she is and what is she capable of. Apart from that it also helps in being a better version of ourselves. Motherhood is an ongoing process, the changes and learnings are constant.
She advised all the mothers out there to pursue what they want to do no matter what. One can change their career at any point in time, no matter what people say. “Derive your strength from the supporting section of your circle.” Anupama is a writer, a social influencer, an entrepreneur, a creative writing mentor, and a choreographer. Her passion for each of the things she does boosts energy in her to go much forward and be self-driven. She is able to embrace herself completely without any motherhood guilt. Society always expects mothers to be sacrificial. Someone who would leave everything for the sake of children and be after them. Kids don’t need sacrificial mothers. They just need mothers who love them, can spend time with them, and guide them through life. Anupama told that she might not spend 24 hours with her daughter but her daughter is definitely her priority. “Let go off the motherhood guilt!”
Listen to Anupama talk more about motherhood and the importance of the creative field in kids’ life. The entire podcast of “Real Moms Real Stories” is in the “Parenting & Childhood” section of the Free Chimes Radio mobile apps – available in Google and Apple App stores.

“Power is of two kinds - one is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from the fear of punishment”- Mahatma Gandhi Parents are under tremendous pressure all the time due to both personal and professional lives and this can lead to boiling situations when kids act a bit more demanding. And as a result, parents tend to punish the children as a form of anger outburst. Punishment does inculcate fear in the child which might lead to issues in the future. It is important to understand the underlying issue here so we can handle the situations better, act upon the anger and handle it in a more mature way by developing our own coping strategies and lastly to stay away from any forms of punishments as much as possible. In this episode of “Anger Management in Parents”, Chimes Radio talks to Ms. Mahalakshmi Rajagopal, a well-known intervention consultant based in South Delhi - and discuss various aspects of this subject. She is considered to be an expert in the field of parenting and has coached several parents over the years in her illustrious career to help them overcome these challenges.

“The best way to make children good is to make them happy.” –Oscar Wilde Motherhood is often like a guilt ride. Sometimes the guilt is overwhelming and sometimes just a low simmer but it is usually there in most of the women. These two can often be seen like parallel lines that go side by side and can originate from n number of reasons like trying to balance house and office for professional women, managing kids in a joint household, or simply by comparing your own life with someone else’s on social media. Many parents go through this feeling of guilt when they are not able to provide what they ideally wanted to for their kids and this leads them to indulge in a vicious cycle of guilt. Be it not giving proper time to the kids or not able to do the best for them or making professional choices a priority, it is the guilt that gulps up most of the mothers. In this episode of “Guilt-Free Parenting”, Chimes Radio talks to Ms. Mahalakshmi Rajagopal, a well-known intervention consultant based in South Delhi - and discusses various aspects of this subject. She is considered to be an expert in the field of parenting and has coached several parents over the years in her illustrious career to help them overcome these challenges. She also talks about the wrong perception that single-parent kids have emotional difficulties when growing up and about the guilt management in fathers, which due to societal pressure stays suppressed.
