The schools load the parents and children with books and syllabus.

We start stressing ourselves about academics.  Every parent expects  the child to excel in the class,  But here, I want the parents to very clearly understand that we do not have to take academics as pressure, keep it simple & age-appropriate. Understand that every child is different and Every Flower blossoms at its own time. Age is an important factor, and we cannot and should not manipulate it. Many parents want to start schooling very early, even before the child fits the age criteria set by the government or the school authorities. Why are we in a Hurry??? If the child is younger...

A Firm No – Does not question your Parental love People misunderstand that loving their children is giving them whatever they ask for. If you give them everything they ask for, the children will become more and more stubborn. Saying NO , to a child for anything they ask does not question your love, in fact, it’s your love for which at times you have to say a NO , a FIRM NO   Most of the time we believe that love can only be expressed by giving whatever the child demands. We as parents feel that we should not deprive our kids of any materialistic things or comfort, and that’s the way love is to be shown. Actually, by doing this we are harming them. Our love should not be conditional on fulfilling the demands of our kids. We should be balanced figure in fulfilling the demands and giving the correct amount of anything to our children.   No is not a question to your Parental Love A “ No ” to anything cannot be or should not be a question of our love for our kids. ...

Mobiles have become a part of our daily life, we are addicted to mobiles very, very much.  We all are aware of the disadvantages of mobiles but our addiction does not allow us to make changes in ourselves. The Disadvantages of Mobile First of all, it decreases communication because you get so engrossed that you become isolated and gradually lose interest in communicating. Children engage themselves so much in mobiles that they are getting disconnected from the live environment around them, their thinking capacity, and their creativity comes to a full stop. Children are becoming slaves of gadgets, and this addiction makes them irritable, restless, anxious, wild, and also violent at times. The children's crime rate is increasing.  In a recent episode of Crime Patrol, a boy aged 10-12 years committed suicide just because his mother took away his mobile.  Just think how much this gadget is controlling the minds of our kids. The Blue Whale Game Also, the blue ...

Teachers Day: First of all, A very Happy Teachers' Day to all the Teachers .  Teachers are the foundation for a good and balanced generation.  We hold the utmost responsibility to serve our nation, as we have the roots in our hands.   We are the actual nurturers of this Garden.  A teacher plays a vital role in molding a child’s entire personality.  A teacher is not just performing a job as an individual, but she works for a noble cause.  A teacher should be proud of the duty she performs; she is a mother-like figure, making school a second home for kids. We teachers should believe in ourselves and have a vision to make the best generation, and only then can we work towards our goal.  A teacher is not only to teach what is given in the book or in the syllabus.  We should not set boundaries around ourselves limited to only the syllabus, as actual teaching is beyond the syllabus and only a teacher can do it, but for that, we have to go the extra mi...
