Encourage your child to write on paper

Image
In this article, I want to say a few things about a huge issue surrounding the studies of children.  It is possible for many of my readers, who are parents themselves, to unknowingly not pay attention to this particular issue.  My experience with kids of this generation says that they tend to avoid writing by hand in their notebooks.  I don't think the corona lockdown is to blame entirely for this.  If we try being honest with ourselves, we will see from where the problem is actually coming. In this era of laptops and smartphones, kids find it easier to type things on their favorite gadget than write the same stuff in their copy.  Now, I am sure you know that this habit will not do them any good. It is important for children to read and write the things they learn over and over to improve in studies.  It is the duty of the teacher and the parents to make the little ones do these activities with help and encouragement.  As a responsible parent, you must...

Are you showing off your child's talent in front of others?

Image
I have been seeing people do this for a long time, and you might have too and found this to be a bad habit. Some children are naturally good at some things, like- singing, dancing, comprehending what they study, etc. It is obvious to be proud of such things, I totally agree, but often parents stretch their children's talents way too far in front of others to feel superior.  Whenever a relative, a friend, or an acquaintance comes to their house, they start planning ways to bring up a topic that would help them show off their kids' talents. After that, they ask their child to come out and show how good he is at singing (or dancing, drawing, etc.) as if giving an order. If the child performs well, he gets all his parents' love showered on him. Opposite of that, if he doesn't perform well, he has to be ready to see his parents' wrath. Don't you think this behavior is toxic? I am going to elaborate on the harmful effects of this habit in the following points - 1) Whe...

Who are important to you?

Purab was on his phone talking to a friend from Germany and had his earphones on. Her aunt had got hurt from the bedpost and fallen on the ground. She yelled at Purab for help but he didn’t listen to her because of earphones. Luckily her son came to the room in search of a ball and saw her lying on the ground. He went to the other room to call Purab for help. Purab after hearing about his aunt rushed to help her. He said sorry, then lifted her and gave her first aid. Later everyone at home got to know about the incident and scolded Purab for being busy on phone and not reaching for help on time. To be honest, in today’s digital world, it has become common to ignore people close to us and pay much attention and time to people on the internet. The Internet has indeed helped in bringing people far from us close. People have got some really good friends and connections online. It has helped us remove loneliness from our lives. However, it has also made people get away from people close to ...

Get a grip on yourself by controlling your anger

Image
We all know that feeling, after a horrible fight, how we feel guilty for being so angry with the other person.  Thoughts like - 'It was not all his fault or, I shouldn't have gone on like that' - come to us after we get mad at someone and react in a manner that doesn't please anyone.  It's okay to feel angry sometimes. After all, it's a feeling just like happiness and sadness that comes naturally to us.  But it can be considered unnatural too. Let's discuss when it can be a problem and how we can know if our anger is getting problematic for us.

Now let's see what we can do to fix this issue.  Try to see if there is something that is bothering you for some time. That something could be the reason for your intolerant behaviour that results in frustration and anger.  Whenever you...

How to teach your child a language effectively

Image
Correct use of languages is necessary for life. Lack of perfection in speaking a language starts from one's childhood and can potentially harm personality. He/she can become a subject of jokes among friends and relatives. Parents should treat language training as an essential part of raising a child. They should try to make efforts to teach their children language properly. Focus on teaching vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and sentence structure from a young age to your child. As a child grows, his vocabulary increases. They learn new words by listening to other people. Make sure to use the right words in front of your child. Never stammer when speaking to your child because a child learns pronunciation by listening to others. Doing this will make your child learn the incorrect pronunciation of things. If a child pronounces a word wrong, then make him repeat it with the correct pronunciation. To motivate your child and increase his self-confidence, give healthy criticism on his...

Points to remember before going to the doctor

For a few days, my friend Arunas's son had a fever. In urgency, she went to the doctor and came to know that her son was suffering from Malaria.   Aruna took all the medicines prescribed by the doctor and came back home.

If you tend to forget important points regarding your problem to the doctor, then note them down on a piece of paper. 2.

Also, don't forget to state if you have seen any side effects from his prescribed drugs. 4. T...
