Twins achievements with right parenting & struggles

It’s a story of twins’ achievements with the proper parenting & struggles. It is a story of a family who took their share of struggles head-on and has made their twin’s excellent performance in academics and sports. And most importantly, the family has taught those values and discipline, which will make them great humans and well-groomed personalities in the times to come. So let’s understand them better through their story that describes how these twins excelled in academics and sport with their parents’ support.

Being parents today, we all wish that our kids excel, whether it’s sports, hobbies, or studies. We love to see our kids flying high! We also have this hidden desire for enormous wealth, accolades, and fame for our kids, but is this “desire” enough? Consistent performance in your chosen hobby and managing your studies well paralleled takes a lot of effort and determination from kids and the whole family.

Introduction

The couple, Amita and Deepak, reside in Pune with their twins, Daksh and Diya. Kids are now successfully enjoying sports, academics, and winning many medals.

Twins achievements

They both are long jumpers and sprinters. Daksh is a 100m sprinter with hurdles, and Diya is a 100m & 200m sprinter. They enjoy sports as well as study thoroughly and can do their homework independently. Do these things sound too musical to your ears? Yes, it could be too perfect for some parents when, on one side, we see today’s kids addicted to mobile. Playstations and video games and television and on other we have Diya and Daksh who are self-dependent and can excel in everything. The only question that arises is how and was everything too easy for this family? Well, the answer is “No,” like everyone else, they also have their share of struggles.

Struggle Story of Amita and Deepak

When Diya and Daksh were born, Deepak and Amita had many differences with their grandparents and were asked to leave the house. Deepak and Amita left the house with an only loaned two-wheeler and ten thousand rupees in the bank. While Deepak was struggling with the job, Amita was working for a publication house as a proofreader, with a 9 to 5 job in hand. It was difficult for Amita to cope with the job and look after twins when there was no helping hand with them, so she opted to work as a pre-primary school teacher. Amita proved to be an iron-willed lady as she continued her studies and joined the college for a master’s in personnel management, which she passed with flying colors when she was managing work, twin kids, and home.

She tried again for corporate jobs and got the job, too, but soon realized that kids suffered. So back, she directed her focus towards being a teacher. Simultaneously, she completed her B.Ed and joined secondary school. Meanwhile, Deepak was also trying his hands in various business adventures but unfortunately swept all the savings they had with them. Things started to settle slowly as Amita continued as a school teacher, and her only focus stayed with kids. They are still residing in a rented flat and managing hand barely to mouth, but they indeed hope for a shining tomorrow.

Support from Kids

Kids have witnessed parents’ struggles and contributed their support too. Amita left them at her mother’s place and went to school. Balancing finances, housework, and kids were like walking on the tightrope with no scope of failing at any step. No one in their family was in sports to guide kids, but they encouraged kids to participate in competitions to channelize their energies. Diya & Daksh joined the sports at the age of 8, and their coaches realized the potential they both have, and they gave excellent feedback about them to Amita and Deepak. Coaches convinced them that they should stick to sports as they have great potential to play at National levels to come with proper guidance and consistent practice.

Today kids are 14 years old and consistently performing and winning in school competitions. This couple’s early six years of discipline, dedication, and hard work are now paying off.

More about Twin Kids

Diya and Daksh relish a purely vegetarian diet, including fruits and vegetables. Both are shinning students of Mahaveer English Medium School, which is a private school. They love watching sports channels and admire different sportspeople. Specifically, Daksh admires GREG RUTHERFORD for his excellent jumping skills. They also enjoy watching Salman Khan. They are enthusiastic about both studies as well as sports. One thing that may surprise you is that they never took any extra tuition or guidance from their mother to date for studies. They have competed in Olympiads and have won silver and gold medals. Amita has taught discipline to her kids from the start, and training is paying off so far. Daksh aims for IIT, and parents support him by keeping sports an integral part of kids’ lives.

Financially, the family was never smooth. They took extra savings and sacrifice to keep up with sports meets and managed to pick up and drop for kids. Managing fees for coaches and sports equipment were equally challenging. Deepak reminds us that his kids are friendly, not only with peers, but they gel with all other age groups too.

Discipline and Commitment

Amita boasts about her children and recalls them as understanding and earnest sincere. Amita & Deepak never had to explain the situations to them. They have always kept a disciplined environment at home but never a controlled one. There was no pressure on studies or sports, and kids knew the importance of both. Deepak wakes up at 7.30 am, Amita wakes up at 5 am, and the kids begin their day from 7.15 am.

Kids follow the following schedule:

7.30 to 2.00 pm – School
2.30 to 5.00 pm – Studies, homework
5.30 to 9.00 pm – Workout practice and Deccan Gymkhana Club
9 to 10 pm – Leisure time.
10.00 pm – Sleep
We can see discipline running in their blood as Amita is M.Pm, B.Sc, D.Ph, and B.Ed. Deepak is also M.Com. Amita had managed all her studies with household activities and jobs. So do the twins.

Indeed we can say that they are the future of young India whether they pursue sports or studies in their life ahead, but we are sure that they will excel in anything they do.
