Shopping with Kids

How often do we go shopping with our kids? I guess, most of us like to leave them home when we are planning to shop for ourselves. We won’t disagree with the fact that when we are shopping for ourselves, the kids push us over to their stuff. And then, we end up purchasing their stuff and sometimes even forget to buy for ourselves something which was necessary. So instead of shouting at them or standing helplessly in front of everyone while they are busy showing their tantrums, one should try and involve them with your own work. Firstly, try and go for shopping less number of times. Secondly, when you prepare a list for yourself, ask your child to do the same. (Remember only things of necessity). Thirdly, Put some amount (small) in your child’s hand, pocket, purse etc. and ask him/her to shop from that particular amount. And also fix some gift, if they save the money from that amount. Then, if your child is creating a fuss over a toy which you think is pretty expensive or not

Education can shape the future of any country.

‘Tomorrow’s Challenges shape Today’s Education.’ Education is not just one of the but the most important dominion of our national life. Needless to reiterate that education holds the key to development and progress in every sphere of our existence. It is the power of knowledge that fueled Man’s progress and it is the insatiable appetite for knowledge that keeps us advancing, moving forward and crossing into new frontiers. It is a general perception of masses that the students are the future of the country so it is necessary that students prove themselves capable to shoulder responsibilities in all the fields and lead the nation towards the correct path of progress. In olden days the requirements were limited and man used to do all the work manually as his mere aim was to survive. Consequently with the advancement of science, research and technology, the world is moving very fast and in fact has shrunk due to the effects of scientific inventions. Now the time has come to change o

This particular posting is especially for those parents who are in stress at this particular moment for getting their child prepared for the entrance examination of any particular school. I can very well relate to all of them. As a mother of a 5 year old, I also went through the same tensions. The starting point is when you decide to send your children to clear the entrance of any top notch school of the city. As a parent there is no harm in wanting the best for your child however one should always keep in mind the child’s caliber. They don’t even know what you have planned for them but slowly and gradually they start feeling the pressure. Your sending them to tuitions at such an early age or increasing their study times when they learn more from their environment definitely affects their psyche. Your over expectations soon start showing signs through your child’s behavior. If suddenly your child goes hyper, or suddenly he/she has started misbehaving or started to take every work as

You talk to your family members; your friends who have kids probably of the same age and you even go and check out each and every school by yourself on your list. Here are few common tips to check out the best school for your li’l one. The foremost question that pops up in our mind is why do we need a pre-school? The answer to the question is SOCIALISATION. At home, a child do gets the opportunity to mix up with friends and cousins which might not be of his age and added to it he’s always under the guidance of his parents.

Role of schools in overall development of a child

The great Indian philosopher Patanjali said” When you are inspired by some great purpose all your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations and dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover your true self”. Right! This is the motto behind every school or institution that works for the physical, mental and emotional development of a child. Our ancient system of education was based on imparting moral and ethical values which in turn acted as powerful tools in transforming the personality of individuals in accordance with patterns approved by the society. The same holds true, even today with the help of value education. The learner is helped to assimilate those qualities which lead to the highest development – mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally and socially. Such education also brings out the latest capacities of the learners and leads them to their rightful goals and every school assist their students to reach to their goals in al
