Self discipline is the best discipline & HOW TO DEVELOP IT *
IT IS SAID THAT WITH SELF DISCIPLINE ANY THING IS POSSIBLE *
Discipline is BRIDGE BETWEEN GOALS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS .Discipline is the blood life of school, home , nation or world. Healthy Self discipline & safety are corner stone for effective teaching and learning in our *Hasti Public school .
Hasti School believes that Learners learn best in an orderly and safe environment . If discipline is not attended carefully the school environment becomes dangerous and might disrupt the educational process, thereby affecting the educational attainment of learners. At our Hasti Public school we make all out efforts to instill self discipline and try to develop and imbibe in the children its importance by an example. Here are few ;
1. Discipline through Meditation
It is observed that children make chaos in classrooms more particularly in between two periods that is between the time period when one teacher leaves the class & the other teacher arrives in the class room .
In our Hasti school teacher ,before leaving the class room , asks children to close their eyes and meditate .the Meditation Monitor keeps the watch .
The next teacher when arrives in the class room *asks children to open their eyes .
This way children get the experience of golden silence and meditation as well .it is proved very successful
2. School has introduced yet another unique & democratic system of self discipline* where in students council prepares three separate boxes for “causes” and three separate boxes for “consequence “ (self imposed penalty) punishments are all academic type and not a corporal punishment .
• Three separate boxes A,B,C have paper slips written with of types of causes ( mischief/ faults/ mistakes/ notorious actions)
• Similarly other 3 Boxes A,B,C have paper slips of penalty written on slips of paper
• A child who has been identified as a disruptive element by council of students of that class will have to *pick up one slip from punishment box and has to take the punishment written therein ,
• Student’s council of the class , comprising of 15 to 16in types of monitors/ monitresses ( *when max.students of the class are monitors the self discipline is automatically set * (ex. All subject monitors, cleanliness monitors,tiffin monitors , corridor monitor, home work monitor, meditation monitor ,uniform monitor ,Assembly monitors, house captains etc no punishment is administered by teachers or administrators,
It is discipline by the students and for the students
Self- discipline would create a specific routine for children, and guide them by ushering to new horizons. Discipline in kids is adamant but *self-discipline is Having the ability to array the prescribed tasks in an arranged order so that by doing them in chunks the enormity of the tasks will be decreased.
How can we cultivate self-discipline in children
Have a fruitful discussion with children about education
The child should know why he should study and thus we say discipline in kids is imperative. Enlighten him about the importance of studies and having a goal.
Divine his abilities and help him in studying Children are different, and like adults, they have different talents and abilities. Understand this while talking to them. If you can find out the talent of the child, try to guide him towards that destination.
Fix a time table
This is the duty of his or her guardian. If you create a suitable timetable, the child will follow it and after some time, it will become a definite routine. One of the key accomplishments of teaching self-discipline to your kids is to make them follow a routine, if they do it wholeheartedly, you can have relief and say proudly that there is a discipline in kids and your students.
If the child is too restless, use a technique such as Pomodoro
Pomodoro means tomato in Italian. If your child is too restless, you can try this method. This technique is like this-:
A . Study for 25 minute
1. take a 5 minutes break
2. study again
Let this cycle continue four times and after finishing the fourth take a longer break, like 15-20 minutes, this is a very productive method as you are dividing time into chunks.
Use Leisure time wisely
Let him do whatever he wants during this time. You can also make him cultivate some hobbies too, like singing, reading, writing which will give enough intellectual stimulation.
Through these child discipline methods and techniques, it will be possible to cultivate a proper routine, and the child will start to study with passion. The only thing we have to look at is, we have to guide them appropriately as they are the upcoming generations.
