I just wanted to know some one who have hand on exp in that school or any of you friends kids going there, whether it is good school or not. I called the principal yesterday and he asked to come in person to know about the uniform and other things. Heard it is pavadai sattai for gals is it true?

Hi, nethviji It is true,Students wear traditional Indian clothing pavadai and davani (long skirts) for girls and pyjama-kurtas for boys. Students remove their shoes before entering a classroom.

My son of age 5 's urine is always surrounded by ants. Is he diabetic? Bcoz my father and grandparents are diabetic. I'm not. Please help me.

If your son is otherwise fine, Urine surrounded by ants is no indication that someone is diabetic , this is quite a common feature, but because diabetes runs in families so whenever you visit your paediatrician next do discuss your family history with him so that he/she  can keep a watch.

Greetings Doctor,

Hi Natalia,

No 2 kids are same so u cannot compare him with your daughter, From what you have written, doesn’t looks like there is a problem, some kids start speaking late, so if his understanding of things and hearing is all right,don’t worry, just continue talking to him, reading to him and otherwise stimulating him and just relax and enjoy your babies!
