Summer Camp Importance

After a full year of hectic studies and pressure from parents to perform better in the academic year, students finally get the time to enjoy themselves. Yes, you all got it right. Here I am talking about Summer Vacations. Every child waits for it so anxiously. They start planning for their vacations a month before.

There are many things a child plans for his/her summer vacations. Some visit their grandparents place while others join some or the other activity. Some students even try and complete their syllabus in these summer vacations. Parents’ also try and make full utilization of these breaks for their kids.

Resources have confirmed that children who remain idle during their vacations tend to perform sluggish in their after break examination than before ones. It’s always good to involve them in some learning habit. The children maintain a routine life. They follow the same time table as in a school like getting up early in the morning and always coming with a view to learn something new. Apart from this, they can develop a social circle. They meet different students from different schools and different environments. Here they can also generate friendships of a life time and should be encouraged to do so.

All in all, it can be said that there are more advantages in letting a child join some or the other activity in vacations to develop not only physically but mentally, emotionally, socially and psychologically.

Yes…..I conserve precious resources …..Do  you???? The energy crisis in the country is becoming graver by the day and it is every individual’s responsibility to save  natural resources. We need to educate and advocate the judicious use of natural resources and propagate resource conservation. Resource Conservation lays emphasis on saving water, fuel, paper and electricity targeting the young brigade of the country, as they are the ultimate beneficiaries of conservation efforts made by us today. “To waste, to destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed.”   - Theodore Roosevelt   Change begin within us.

Time Management

Image
In today’s world the most important task for any human being is to manage  time . If you face troubles meeting deadlines, if you keep running haywire for completion of tasks or even if you really find it difficult to take out  time  for your family then probably you are one of the candidates who seriously need to work out on your  time  management skills. Time  Management actually refers to the ability of a person to use his/her  time  productively at work or at home. We have 24 hours in a day, in which we need 8 hours of sleep so that our minds could function properly. This is a proven reality and very less could be done to make changes to it. We all are slowly and gradually becoming the slaves of  time  however here we’ll talk about the art of mastering it. As the number of hours in a day cannot be increased we can definitely work on changing our attitude that may help us in future to become organized. For enhancing our...

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...
