  Everyone can think back to their years as a student and recall at least one teacher that stood out as a truly outstanding teacher.

We’ve all had that teacher at some point in our lives. It can be really difficult to pinpoint what makes a teacher remarkable.

We know it when we see it or experience it, but putting our experience into words can be challenging.

1. Teachers that care about us both in and out of the classroom

Whether cheering for us on the field or applauding our curtain call, students appreciate teachers that show us they not only care about how we’re doing in their class, but out of it, too. My friend said  “I especially love being able to go talk to my teachers about life and other things not related to the subject at hand”. It’s a great feeling knowing that when you don’t want to talk to your parents, there’s another adult that you can talk to and trust. It would take way more than two hands to count the number of students at my school that keep in touch with the teachers during the summer. Having an exceptional relationship with teachers has us looking forward to school every morning and working harder in class to show the teachers we adore that we care.

2. Teachers those are beyond passionate

The best teachers are not always the ones teaching the core classes. I took a English class in 8th grade and learned more information in a single semester than I’ve learned during an entire year. The teacher was fantastic because he was incredibly passionate. When imagining a teacher discussing Shakespeare, many would picture a bunch of teenagers staring out into space, barely listening. But, when My teacher talked, no heads went down and no eyes wandered. Everyone was focused intently on what he told us because his passion for the subject was contagious. I admire teachers that are so passionate about their subject that they inspire students to look further into it, ask questions, and leave the class with a sense of wonder about learning something genuinely new and interesting.

3. Teachers that plan unforgettable lessons

My 6th grade Life Science teacher was an incredible teacher. Her lessons were the type that stuck with us long after leaving her class. Each lesson had a lot of thought put into it and was obviously well planned without making us feel as though we were robots following a plan down to the last second. I would go home and tell my parents about the exciting things we did in class on a near-daily basis. she floated from table to table, pointing out cool things, answering an immeasurable amount of questions, and comforting the squeamish. She loved us and we loved her. Her immense amount of passion, knowledge, and love made her an outstanding teacher.

4. Teachers that aren’t afraid to be challenged

I had an unforgettable teacher during my year of high school. He consistently challenged and debated with us in class and welcomed the opportunity for us to disagree with him. In a society where students are always expected to accept what the authority figure says, having a teacher who allowed us to challenge him was an eye-opening experience. No matter the topic, if we had a different opinion, he wanted to hear it. At first, it was strange to debate with a teacher and a bit upsetting that he was not shy about pointing out a flaw in our argument. But, by the end of the year, I appreciated having a teacher that I could be completely honest with about the subject, knowing he would bring up a point that would have me thinking about my argument in an entirely new way.

In the end, the best teachers aren’t always the ones doling out the best grades. Rather, the teachers that *challenge, inspire, and truly care for their students are the ones that make a lasting impact*.

Why sports should be made mandatory  at schools

Weren’t those days the best when children used to play in the park, giggling with happiness and their faces glowing with energy?

Nowadays, technology is overpowering the fun time of our children. Video games and smartphones are making them inactive in their daily routine. It not just hampers their overall health but also affects academic performance.

In such a backdrop, sports is one such thing that can aid in offering a holistic development of students. In fact, as per our Hasti School’s philosophy, all students should take active participation in sports activities. Sports education in India is now a big thing, and everyone should adopt it as a tool to make students active individuals.

Here are some reasons why sports should be made an integral part of the school’s curriculum:

Teaches Essential Life Skills

Students may learn about the great poets of English Literature or how force is directly proportional to acceleration, but these things won’t teach them essential life skills. They will not learn how to interact with people or feel confident while giving a presentation. However, if they play sports, opportunities to learn these things will knock on their door every day.

While participating in sports, they will get the chance to develop their reactions to a situation and must act quickly by analysing and examining the facts. All such activities tend to improve and build strong life skills that can be of great help in the future. Some common skills that get a boost when students play sports include:

•           Discipline

•           Social Skills

•           Self-Esteem

•           Confidence

•           Strong Memory

•           Team Work

Improves Academic Performance

‘How sports benefits education?’ – This is one of the most common questions that parents ask when we talk about sports in school. Well, studies have suggested that physical activities play a vital role in the development of the brain. Sports not only reduce stress but also lead to improved creativity and better concentration power among students which automatically is reflected in their academic performance.

If students constantly focus on studying and do not involve themselves in stress-busting activities, it can affect their academic performance and also exhaust their mind.

Boosts Health

Modern day’s lifestyle has made our kids inactive. They are so used to comfort that even picking up the TV remote seems a big task for them. Such inactiveness and sluggish behaviour leads to health issues – with obesity topping the list.

By playing sports, students can achieve a healthy lifestyle that further improves their overall health and maintains body weight too.

Bigger Opportunities

While many people still don’t understand what is sports education, we at Hasti public school  realise its potential and help our scholars make most of the available opportunities. There is long list of  our school students who have excelled at National and  International level There are many students who have represented at state level champions To name one such achievement , our talented scholar Kanan sheetal KailasJain  recently achieved the rank  in Under Fencing at National level Safe to say, sports not only improve students’ health but also offers them golden opportunities to achieve success in life.

To Sum Up

“Play a sport. It will teach you how to win honourably, lose gracefully, respect authority, work with others, manage your time and stay out of trouble*.”

Whoever said these words certainly understood why sports education is important. At our school premises, we offer a wide range of sports activities to cater to the diverse interests of our scholars. We have sports complex spread over 4.5 acre of land with standard courts for squash, basket ball, fencing ,archery ,football , volleyball, 400 meters track ,Kabbadi and  Kho-Kho etc.in addition to martial Arts.   School offers  class facilities in 21 different games and sports such as shooting, fencing, football and others.

How to motivate child to do homework” is on almost every parent’s mind right now. Getting kids to do homework doesn’t have to be painful. In fact, it can be outright fun! In this article, I will share the secret on motivating your child to not only do homework but also love homework. Yes, you read it right. It is possible to love doing school work. No yelling, screaming, threatening or crying required.

Why Do Kids Hate Homework Let’s start with kindergarteners. For many children, kindergarten is their first formal experience in school. Kindergarten has changed a lot over the last decade.

Once a place for socialization and play, kindergartens now emphasize the importance of learning to read, to count, to sit still and to listen to the teachers. Going from playing all day at home to behaving or sitting still in a structured environment for hours at a time is a tough transition.To add to that, many kindergartens also assign homework to these little children, further reducing their available play time. It’s no wonder that some kindergarteners are not motivated to do homework.

Homework Motivation Remember when your child was still a toddler, he/she would get into anything and everything?They were curious and they were eager to learn about everything around them.They were passionate learners.

Children naturally love learning, if we provide the right environment and motivate them appropriately.

Here’s the problem…When you hear the word “motivate”, what do you think of?If you’re thinking about toys, money, iPad time, points, stickers, etc., you’re not alone. Rewards (and sometimes punishments) are many parents’ go-to motivators.Parents love them because they work almost instantly. You present the prize and the child complies to get it. Problem solved.Simple and effective.But very soon, you will notice some unintended results.

Here is an example.

A TEACHER was approached by a couple who told him about a system of rewards they had set up for their son, which had produced much improved behavior  THEY SAID “He sits up straight and eats his DINNER and he is really very well behaved,” they reported. Until, that is, the first time the family dined at a nice restaurant. The child looked around, picked up a crystal glass from the table and asked, “How many points not to drop this?” A fine example, of the detrimental effects of over-reliance on rewards to shape children’s behavior.

This example is far from rare.In fact, it is very common when a child is motivated purely by an external reward. Once the reward is removed, the child will no longer be interested in continuing the behavior.What’s the right way to motivate our children? The answer is intrinsic motivation.

Intrinsic motivation refers to engaging in an activity for its pure enjoyment. This enjoyment comes from within an individual and is a psychological satisfaction derived from performing the task, not from an extrinsic outcome. In other words, to get your kid to do homework, first help them enjoy doing it.

It is not as crazy as it sounds. It’s unfortunate that homework is called “work”. We like to separate work from play.So naturally, we feel that homework is drudgery. But it doesn’t have to be.

Homework is a tool for children to learn and get familiar with the knowledge taught in class.To enjoy homework, the child just has

How To Motivate a Child To Do Homework to enjoy learning.

To motivate kids, we first have to change our mindset, from a working mindset to a learning mindset.

The goal of going to school is not about getting into college, finding a good job, earning a stable income, etc.Of course, all of those are wonderful, but that’s a working mindset – you’re doing all that work for reasons other than enjoying the learning itself.

Going to school should be about learning, acquiring knowledge, exploring new subjects and growing as a person.

MAKE CHILD ENJOY DOING HOMEWORK

Have a special place for your child to study. The homework area doesn’t have to be fancy. A desk in the bedroom is nice, but for many children, the kitchen table or a corner of the living room works just fine. The area should have good lighting and it should be fairly quiet. Provide supplies and identify resources. For starters, have available pencils, pens, erasers, writing paper and a dictionary.

Other supplies that might be helpful include a stapler, paper clips, maps, a calculator, a pencil sharpener, tape, glue, paste, scissors, a ruler, a calculator, index cards, a thesaurus and an almanac. If possible, keep these items together in one place.

Set a regular time for homework. Having a regular time to do homework helps children to finish assignments. Of course, a good schedule depends in part on your child’s age, as well as her specific needs. You’ll need to work with a young child to develop a schedule. You should give your older child the responsibility for making up a schedule independently—although you’ll want to make sure that it’s a workable one.

You may find it helpful to have her write out her schedule and put it in a place where you’ll see it often, such as on the refrigerator. ß Remove distractions. Turn off the TV and discourage your child from making and receiving social telephone calls during homework time. (A call to a classmate about an assignment, however, may be helpful.)

 If you live in a small or noisy household, try having all family members take part in a quiet activity during homework time. You may need to take a noisy toddler outside or into another room to play. If distractions can’t be avoided, your child may want to complete assignments in the local library. ß Don’t expect or demand perfection. When your child asks you to look at what she’s done—from skating a figure 8 to finishing a math assignment—show interest and praise her when she’s done something well.

If you have criticisms or suggestions, make them in a helpful way. One final note: You may be reluctant to help your child with homework because you feel that you don’t know the subject well enough or because you don’t speak or read English as well as your child. But helping with homework doesn’t mean doing the homework. It isn’t about solving the problems for your child, it’s about supporting him to do his best.

Our HASTI PUBLIC SCHOOL   is making compatible  , logical and rational efforts to create awareness in society about this plastic hazard and threat

Awareness rallies , no plastic slogan  , drawing competition and video clip results in to increased awareness amongst the future citizens of our Nation

The fact that plastics are now a serious headache for the planet is proved by the fact that more and more governments are proposing measures to reduce their impact on the environment. In fact, in 2021 Europe will ban the sale of single-use plastics such as drinking straws, cutlery or cotton buds within its borders. To put the magnitude of the problem into context, let’s review some objective data:

Every year, 500 billion plastic bottles are produced worldwide.

In 2021we will generate more than 500 million tonnes of plastic, 1900% more than in 1980.*

Plastic in the ocean is already more than 150 million tons of waste.*

By 2050, they could contain more plastics than fish.**

Each year around eight million tons of plastic ends up in our seas and oceans.*

While on the subject of single-use plastics, which account for half of the plastic we use each year, they have an average useful life of 12 to 15 minutes and yet can take up to 500 years to disappear

According to Life Out Of Plastic (LOOP). Plastics outlive us and will outlive our children.

The good news is that it is in our hands, as consumers, to turn this situation around.

We have the power to make manufacturers change the way they produce.

TIPS FOR REDUCING YOUR PLASTICS CONSUMPTION

Minimising he consumption of plastics is much simpler than it seems.

Avoid single-use plastics such as drinking straws

Single-use plastics, such as plates and cutlery made from this material, make our lives easier, but seriously harm the planet.

If you go shopping, remember to take a cloth bag

Recycle chewing gum… it’s also make of plastic Replace plastic Tupperware for glass or steel containers

If you eat at work, a Tupperware container is part of your day.

Not only will the planet appreciate it, so will your health because some of these plastic containers can release harmful substances.

When hanging out washing use wooden pegs instead of plastic ones

you manage to get your family, friends and co-workers to do the same by setting an example

Avoid using cosmetics that use micro-plastics, buy a biodegradable brush and wear natural fabrics

So in nut shell

Plastics are now a serious headache for the planet and it is in our hands to reverse this situation.

Plastic has become a constant element in our lives. It’s everywhere: product packaging, cosmetic ingredients, textiles, mobile phones, etc. It’s even in the chewing gum you might be chewing on right now!

*Its omnipresence is such that many would find the mere fact of giving it up a difficult task.

Reducing the consumption of plastics therefore requires not only a change in habits, but also a change of mindset.

“Are you listening to me?” This question is often asked because the teachers /speaker think  the listener is nodding off or daydreaming.

 We sometimes think that listening means we only have to sit back, stay barely awake, and let a speaker’s words wash over us. listening is often understood as a “passive” activity. More recently, O, the Oprah Magazine featured a cover article with the title, “How to Talk So People Really Listen

Four Ways to Make Yourself Heard.” This title leads us to expect a list of ways to leave the listening to others and insist that they do so, but the article contains a surprise ending. The final piece of advice is this: “You can’t go wrong by showing interest in what other people say and making them feel important .

 In other words, the better you listen, the more you’ll be listened

You may have heard the adage, “We have two ears but only one mouth”—an easy way to remember that listening can be twice as important as talking. *As a student, you most likely spend many hours in a classroom doing a large amount of focused listening, yet sometimes it is difficult to apply those efforts to communication in other areas of your life

4.1 Listening vs. Hearing

Hearing is an accidental and automatic brain response to sound that requires no effort. We are surrounded by sounds most of the time. For example, we are accustomed to the sounds of airplanes, lawn mowers, furnace blowers, the rattling of pots and pans, and so on. We hear those incidental sounds and, unless we have a reason to do otherwise, we train ourselves to ignore them. We learn to filter out sounds that mean little to us, just as we choose to hear our ringing cell phones and other sounds that are more important to us.

students who develop better listening skills are more likely to feel confident, comfortable, and prepared to succeed in school.

The importance of active listening also branches into social-emotional development.Improved relationship skills. Stronger sense of empathy.

students with strong listening skills don’t just retain more information, but they are also less likely to feel unprepared and frustrated Additionally, improved listening skills can lead to improved self-efficacy, or a student’s belief that they can succeed in class

This means that students who develop better listening skills are more likely to feel confident, comfortable, and prepared to succeed in school.

Learning how to listen can also teach students how to communicate their ideas

This is because students who listen pick up more knowledge to reflect on and think critically about before they respond. Plus, for dual language learners in your class, learning how to listen can help students pick up their second language faster.[6]

Teaching students listening skills leads to lasting advantages in a student’s academic career and beyond, including:

•           Greater ability to communicate

•           Faster second language acquisition

•           Lower levels of frustration, anxiety, and depression

•           Improved relationship skills

•           Stronger sense of empathy

How to Help Students Develop Stronger Active Listening Skills

On average, people listen at about 25% of their potential& in the classroom, teachers often understand that listening is an important skill to have but rarely teach it Clearly, teaching students how to be active listener should be a part of our class curriculum.

Active listening is easiest when there are fewer distractions. Try to limit the number of distracting decorations in your classroom, such as too many posters or large, very bright items. This will not only be helpful for your classroom as a whole but also students with disorders that act as a barrier to active listening and focus, like attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

If you have students who struggle to listen in class, multisensory learning and curricula  can be helpful. Multisensory learning involves any activity that engages two or more of the senses (such as sight, hearing, or smell). You could, for example, *sing a song to teach students the names of the solar system planets or have students draw a scene from a book as you read it in class.As you engage several of your students’ senses, they will be better able to listen and comprehend class materials.

And finally, lead by example. Provide students with an opportunity to model active listening skills by holding regular classroom meetings. The subject of these meetings (anything from class policies to recent academic topics) doesn’t matter so much as the structure. Remind students to practice their active listening skills and focus less on making their opinion

INSTEAD OF HEARING DO LISTEN

Immune system protects your child’s body from outside invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and toxins (chemicals produced by microbes). It is made up of different organs, cells, and proteins that work together.

There are two main parts of the immune system:

•           The innate immune system, which you are born with.

•           The adaptive immune system, which you develop when your body is exposed to microbes or chemicals released by microbes.

These two immune systems work together.

The innate immune system

This is your child’s rapid response system. It patrols your child’s body and is the first to respond when it finds an invader. The innate immune system is inherited and is active from the moment your child is born.

The acquired immune system

The acquired immune system, with help from the innate system, produces cells (antibodies) to protect your body from a specific invader.

Boosting Immunity in Covid-19 Times

Children are exposed to all kinds of germs and viruses daily. With the Covid-19 pandemic still in full force, it is vital to ensure that your child’s immune system is in its best form. No one is born with an immune system, it develops as your child grows. Although the best way to boost their immunity is by letting them fight through minor colds and flu, our job as parents is to do whatever it takes to ensure our child’s immunity is the best it can be. Here are 6 home remedies & tips to improve immunity in kids.

          THE QUESTION IS  HOW TO BOOST IMMUNITY?

                                              &

                                 HERE IS THE ANSWER

Promote Immunity Booster Foods

Encourage your kids to eat immunity booster foods daily!

The food your child consumes plays an important role not only in defining their immunity but for their overall development. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables can go a long way in helping build your child’s immunity. Some of the most common immunity booster foods for kids are carrots, green beans, oranges, and strawberries. All of these contain carotenoids that are phytonutrients, which act as the best immunity booster for kids.

Having a diet that is rich in phytonutrients have been known to protect the child from chronic diseases, namely heart disease or cancer as adults. Your child should have at least five servings of fresh fruits and vegetables as part of their daily diet plan.

Keeping a watch on their sugar intake and reducing the amount of processed food in your pantry can do wonders in keeping your child healthy and full of strong immunity!

2. Improve their Sleep Cycle

Sleep plays a vital role in your child’s daily routine. Not only does it keep them rested and relaxed after a busy day of online learning, it is also a natural immunity booster for kids. If your child is not a sleepyhead then they require at least 9 to 10 hours of sleep daily. Proper sleep gives your child’s nervous system the rest it needs to reboot for a fresh start the next day!

Science also shows that getting adequate sleep at night can improve your child’s immune system and keep them safe from obesity, heart diseases, and most importantly, diabetes in their future.

3. Exercise as a Family

Regular exercise benefits kids the same way it helps adults. It can boost blood circulation and enhances healthy heart functions. Exercise also has an essential immunity-boosting role. It flushes out bacteria from the airways and lungs.

Taking them out for a walk, preferably early morning is one of the safest bets. Building the basis of daily exercise has many immediate benefits, but it also sets the course for healthier adults as they grow.

4. Personal Hygiene

Nothing is as crucial for your child as cultivating good hygiene. As parents, our job is to teach these values to our children and, more often than not, lead by example. Along with brushing their teeth at least twice a day and having a bath daily, it is also essential to teach them to how to wash their hands, for at least 20 seconds, thoroughly multiple times a day.

Alongside personal hygiene, it is also essential for them to keep their surroundings clean. This includes clean up after playtime and keeping their toys and books in their specified places. As parents, we can clean their toys and play surfaces regularly with mild nontoxic or child-safe disinfectants.

5. Meditation

Now, this is a hard one, even for a few adults. Most parents are also of the mindset that children do not need meditation. However, meditation benefits are infinite! Many studies have shown that just a few minutes of meditation daily can positively impact your child’s immune system. It can prevent harmful mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. It also helps soothe your child’s nervous system, improving their immunity. This is one of the most effective tips to improve immunity in kids.Meditation also helps your child reduce their blood pressure and keep their emotional and cognitive development, moving in the right direction.

6. Limit their Antibiotic Intake

No parent wants their child to suffer an illness; those pesky colds are the worst and usually result in sleepless nights for you and your child. Tempting as it may be to visit the doctor and get medicines to make them feel better instantly, it is essential to let the flu run its course. Urging your pediatrician to prescribe antibiotics every time your child has a cough or cold or sore throat could result in antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can be more harmful later. You can also include turmeric in their milk and other foods as it is known to be a natural immunity booster.

Your Takeaway

ensure that all of their vaccines are up to date. imagine how much good you can do to your child’s life by just pushing them towards healthy habits for only three days. Parents can also lead by example by making these small changes in their own lives and seeing how quickly their child adapts to them! Stay healthy, stay immune!                 DO READ  AND GIVE ME YOUR VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS FOR ADDING OR REMOVING ANY PART OF THE TEXT SO AS TO ADD THE READING VALUE TO THIS BLOG

A farmer had a dog who used to sit by the roadside waiting for vehicles to come around.

As soon as one came he would run down the road, barking and trying to overtake it.

One day a neighbor asked the farmer “Do you think your dog is ever going to catch a car?” The farmer replied, “That is not what bothers me. But  What bothers me is what he would do if he ever caught one.”

Moral of the Story

“Many people in life behave like that dog who is pursuing meaningless goals .”

“Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan. “~ Tom Landry

This is how we can learn , we can learn lot many things from  what is present  around us  ;  nature including  soil, water, sun , plants , animals and believe me one can learn from loving pets like cow , parrot ,etc and even from loving    puppy dog 

Ask children to choose any object and ask them  to write what they think  could learned  from the object.

 It would be great experience for children and they will learn many things.

 For example If I write what I should learn from Dog or

 I would learn from a Dog that 

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face,to be pure ecstasy

When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience

Let others know when they’ve invaded your territory

Take naps and stretch before rising

Run romp and play daily

On warm days stop to lie on your back on the grass

On hot days drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree

When you’re happy dance around and wag your entire body

No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout, run right back and make friends*

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm

Stop when you have had enough

Be loyal

Never pretend to be something you’re not

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it

When someone is having a bad day, be silent…sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

It would be unique technique to make children that every thing around us is teaching us some good and positive points

Healthy eating in children is essential for strong bones, teeth, and a healthy heart. It helps maintain a healthy weight, promotes optimal body function, and keeps the brain sharp and ready to learn. But not all kids understand this.

Our Hasti public school takes very good care of this and supply day wise (school Tiffin) diet chart ,  for what children should bring and eat at school .we Encourage Healthy Eating In Children At  OUR HASTI School. Children’s  Tiffin are regularly checked for fast food and or  junk food* 

Healthy eating in children can be one of the most challenging tasks for parents. The kids have turned up their noses at the rice, dal, and vegetables you made. Now they’re negotiating for their favorite pasta. Despite knowing that nutrition is vital for your growing and energetic child, you reluctantly put the dal away and tear open a bag MAGGI. What else could you do? For most parents, helping healthy eating in children can be challenging.For such  frazzled parent & care providers Here is what you can do:

Don’t Ban Eating Junk Food Outright.

Just go easy! Once kids get their first taste of crispy, sweet, and salty foods, it’s hard to get them unhooked. Well, that’s a bitter fact! But Tada! We have one strategy! You need to limit the number of binge eating that kids are allowed to eat each day, rather than ban these foods altogether. This is the only way kids won’t be as tempted to crib for what they can’t have. Banning specific food increases the temptation to eat more.

pack the lunch box before your child resists the urge to opt for convenient processed pre-packaged meals., it’s good to prepare healthy lunches well in advance so that you don’t have to scramble for options in the morning rush at home.

Avoid Buying Unhealthy Foods In Bulk.

If you want to buy a treat, choose to buy the smallest package instead of the economy bulk-sized packages. For example, buying a small pack of cheesy popcorn is much better than buying one family pack. This strategy will help your kids to be less tempted and encourage healthy eating habits in children.

Avoid Offering Sweet Treats.

We all know tooth decay is caused by having sugary food and drinks too often. So, as parents and caregivers, your strategy should be to try to make sure you avoid cakes, biscuits, and confectionery in your household*. However, there is a crucial difference between the natural sugars found in fruits and milk and the sugars present in packaged juices and cakes. Natural sugar is better for little milk teeth as it has many crucial vitamins and minerals. So when it’s desserts, it’s a safe bet to base them on fruits and dairy products. kids still love lemonades, protein milkshake, and watermelon smoothie.

Start Healthy Eating With Small Proteins.

The next strategy is to use smaller plates, bowls, and utensils for your child to eat with, allowing them to serve themselves when they are old enough to do so safely. You can begin this practice when they are 2 to 4 years old. It will make them feel “like a grown-up” while also helping them learn how much to eat at a time.

Stick To A Strict Meal And Snack Time

Keeping to a regular meal and snack schedule discourages kids from munching on snacks throughout the day or becoming hungry in between meals. If you find your child skipping a meal, the strategy here is not to let them “make up for it” with something else. Instead, offer a healthy snack, such as apples or baby carrots, and make sure that they eat enough at their next meal.

Nutritious New Foods: Try, and Try Again

Explaining healthy eating to a child can be stressful. Don’t be discouraged if your kids stubbornly  turns away  nutritious food Patience is the key here. It takes time for children to like a new food’s taste.

* Posing   exciting food questions as an option* which will yeild favourable result. For example, instead of just asking, “Do you want tomatoes as a dinner side dish?” what if you ask, “Which would you prefer at dinner: cucumbers or tomatoes?” Try this strategy; it works wonders for your kids.

Listen and Involve

Communication between parents and children about food preferences is fundamental. Give your little ones the chance to voice any feelings and concerns over food.

So, next time you serve health eating foods like rice, dal, and veggies, make sure you follow these strategies to encourage healthy eating in children. do READ THIS AND GIVE ME YOUR VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS FOR ADDING OR REMOVING ANY PART OF THE TEXT TO ADD THE READING VALUE TO THIS BLOG   JAI HIND

              Social skills, also known as interpersonal skills or soft skills are important for everyone irrespective of age. Human beings are social animals and having strong social skills can help you build and maintain successful relationships both professionally and personally. Social skills in kids are a very important factor. Some kids are naturally more socially-adept than others. Not everyone is born with social skills. It is a skill just like anything else and some kids need some social “tutoring.” Like any skill, social skills in children can be developed and refined with practice, but by helping develop good social and communication skills in a child from their youth, you are equipping them straight away with the skills to build a successful future.

So if you are wondering how to help a child with social skills in life, here are a few ways that you can adapt to help your child develop different facets of this life skill

Be Social Yourself

Always remember that you are your child’s first teacher. He learns whatever he/she sees. You can’t expect your child to develop good social skills out of the blue when you spend most of your time doing chores or relaxing in front of the TV. Social skills in Take your time out and interact with friends and family and slowly your child will start imitating you. If your child continuously watches you swirling into a cocoon shell because you are too shy for conversations, chances are they will start doing the same. When going out or meeting new people, involve them in your conversations. Start by getting them to answer the simple questions which are often asked such as “ *What is your name”?” or “How old are you?” These are some very basic questions but don’t answer them on your child’s behalf. Get your child to say it. *At our school *HASTI PUBLIC SCHOOL*good manners and behaviours are shown to tiny tots

Show, Don’t Tell

Actions speak louder than words. If you want your child to be kind, be kind yourself. Just merely preaching without practicing won’t do any good to your kid. Your behavior speaks volumes, and your children will remember it far more effectively than what you have told them.  If you want them to learn basic etiquettes, show them. For them to be polite, you need to remember saying sorry and thank you to everyone, including your children. By getting very angry or messing up a situation, don’t just behave like it didn’t happen. Rather, when you are calm talk to them and apologize for your behavior and make them understand that your behavior was inappropriate.

Importance Of Eye-contact

Out of many social skills examples in general, making and maintaining eye contact is one of the crucial ones. Encourage your children to look into their eyes while talking. It leads to effective communication and helps build confidence. When you keep eye contact with the person you are talking to it indicates that you are focused and paying attention. It means that you are actually listening to what the person has to say. Many children may have eye-contact anxiety. You may have to put in an extra effort in that case. If your child has such issues, get them to talk to you, maintaining eye contact.

Teach Them To Listen

Listening is a very important tool. Many people don’t listen and they try to jump in before someone finishes his/her statement. If your child does so, teach them to be patient listeners. Before they are good speakers they need to be good listeners. This is the key to building a good relationship.

Teach Them Emotions

A child must be able to identify different emotions to spot social clues. Try playing a game. Get your child to imitate different emotions or show them pictures of different  emotions like joy, anger, disappointment, excitement, mischief, weirdness, nervousness, tiredness, terror, danger, etc and get them to identify. This helps them differentiate emotions and express better, and not get confused when mingling with other kids or people. “To teach them emotions, you need to understand them and you also communicate how you feel.  If they make you mad, make a straight face, and tell them that they are upsetting you, their behavior makes you mad.

Make Them Communicate

Communication is fundamental to children’s development; children need to be able to understand and be understood. Talk to them, ask them how their day was, and never turn away your child when he wants to say something. This may have a very negative influence on them.

Some really good ways to make your child communicate are

Get their toys and make a puppet show, show them how conversations are made if your child is socially anxious.

Roleplay- If your child is going to be in a new environment, roleplay with him how he is going to meet new people and start a conversation. You can start with basic questions and get your kids to answer them.

If you have elders at home, they can be very helpful in building confidence in your kid.

Give Them Environment

Get your child comfortable so that he can freely express himself. If your child is socially anxious help them get comfortable by striking a conversation and then slowly getting them into the conversation. Don’t just leave them alone saying they need to learn it themselves, take one step at a time. Give your child the chance to meet with different people, the variety in people may help them know things differently and get them to adjust better in situations. Playschools, playgrounds, and hobby classes will give them a chance to socialize.

Teach Them About Personal Space

Everyone feels more comfortable when the person they are with, respects their personal space.  Some children may come up and sit in your lap, hug you without permission, touch your hair, play with your necklace, touch a design on your shirt, or touch your body without permission, sometimes in inappropriate places. Teach them not to invade someone’s personal space. Everyone has their own “space bubble”.

You may come across many other lists of social skills to teach but they all are important and address different areas of life.

*Real learning, as we all know, stems from when you can apply what you’ve learnt*and you know the practical knowledge behind things. And practicality is what online learning lacks.  But mugging up is very important too? Contrary to popular belief, mugging actually helps a great deal as it helps children memorize important information such as the multiplication table or the periodic table. With the way in which our current education system is planned, mugging is known to single handedly be one of the best techniques for understanding formulas

.

 Since formal education to the most extent is focused on mugging, what can we do to help our kids?

How Does Memory Work?

Memory works in different ways. Some  of them being muscle memory, meaning, the ability to remember things through repeated motor movement. This is why teachers in your childhood made you repeatedly write the corrected versions of the wrong spellings in your test!

 Memory building can also be through repeated *listening to something with a tune. That is how we register songs in our mind.

But online learning has changed it all now

.

Memories building for children of different ages differ by year and it is important to note that you mustn’t push your child beyond their age group. For younger kids around 2-4 years old, one way you can build their memory is through even simple actions

This can be such as setting a proper time table that your child can follow. Questioning them what comes after the other

 helps them be more observant about what is happening. Eg. when you’ve established a proper night time routine you can ask your child what comes after brushing their teeth, which the child will answer as bed time story time!

Colors play a huge role in the memory of, especially, your younger child. This is why brands use colorful bright colors because it catches attention easily. This is also used by various programs focused on e-learning for kids

Flashcards  are a popular concept where the main point is written on one side and the sub points on the other.

The use of colors helps in easy recall as well. This is why when studying it is recommended to get pens or markers of different colors to mark the different points as per its importance.

Studying can be very much fun if you want it to be.

Most interactive learning for kids is centered around material that stimulates the student with audio visuals. There is also the emergence of VR or virtual reality that gives students an almost life-like experience with what they are learning.

As humans, our brain tends to latch onto music. So just like we remember the lyrics to a song it can be that easy to remember the contents of your learning material.

CREATE MUSIC WITH YOUR MATERIAL

Every child has a unique learning style and learning styles largely affect the quality of your memory. Children who learn visually will benefit from virtual learning a lot as it helps them visualize what they are learning better. They also tend to do great when subjects like history are taught to them by visiting museums or picture dictionaries.

Most wholesome online learning platforms will help cover different areas of learning.

REMEMBER THE MAIN KEY

Keywords play a huge part in memory building and it is absolutely essential for your child to be able to remember information through keywords. This is absolutely helpful when it comes to studying science based subjects.

Breaking it down Breaking   a main topic down to its keywords helps in better learning and memorizing.

 This is a technique used by a lot of educational videos as well. Building a flowchart with all the important keywords is also very helpful.

Breaking down material into smaller chunks is a really good way to memorize information better. That is why some phone numbers have hyphens  to separate into smaller chunks for better understanding. This can be used by you to help your child remember important information like phone numbers, addresses, etc in case of any distress.

 Breaking it into little chunks helps store the memory for a longer time as well. Since everything we do now has moved to online learning it is hard to process a lot of information at once, so this helps!

These tips will definitely work —————————————————————————————————————————————-

When we were all in school…*the only quotient that appeared to be important was

 1.I.Q.” …INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT, but NOW WE KNOW about ;

2.E.Q…EDUCATIONAL QUOTENT ,

3.A.Q…ADVERSITY QUOTIENT*

4.E.Q…EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT

5.*T.Q…TEACHING QUOTIENT   ,from lerners point of view

Educational quotient

The mental age concept assumed that there was a certain measurable increment of intelligence for each year of chronological age, and that this was independent of the specific training that the child had received. Later investigators found it advisable to have a single mathematical expression for the relation between the measured intelligence of an individual or a given age and the norm for that age. This was called the Intelligence Quotient. The I.Q. is an index of learning under the ordinary conditions of life, and may justly be taken as an indication of future learning. But the learning that goes on under the common, general environment is only one phase of our development, and not the phase with which the school is directly concerned.

The I.Q. needs to be supplemented by an index of specific school abilities, the E.Q., or Educational Quotient.

A person’s EQ is generally found by dividing the results of their Wide Range Achievement Test by their IQ and multiplying by 100, or by dividing their Education Age by their Chronological Age and multiplying by 100.

 I.Q.

Teachers always seemed to be impressed with the students’ school records that showed a high I. Q. (Intelligence Quotient) They would brag about how many students they had that year with above average I.Q’s. It was going to be a good year.

It takes some time to realize… after we leave school behind…that the strong emphasis on our I.Q. numbers was misplaced….*there is another quotient that is much more reliable at predicting our success in life.

LET US DIVE DEEP IN TO A.Q ADVERSITY QUOTIENTY

It is called our “A.Q.” Adversity Quotient.   *The higher the level…the more tolerance and endurance we show for the adversities*life is going to throw at us.

Unfortunately, in education test assessors prefer the objective intelligence quotient assessments over the more subjective adversity quotient.

Education gets so caught up in crunching statistics concerning curriculum scores that it forgets the basic reason for school and learning…to prepare students for the world they will enter…and we all know that world is filled with adversities.

An adversity quotient is a person’s ability to manage difficulties and transform obstacles into opportunities . The adversity quotient is one factor that affects a person’s success since it correlates positively with a person’s performance.

 person who has a high adversity quotient will also have high performance. People without adversity quotients will always depend on others, especially parents, peers, and others.

They cannot take initiative and struggle greatly when confronting challenges.

 Adversity quotients also has an impact on the possessor’s performance, autonomy, and achievements.

Success can be measured by one’s ability to face difficulties in life (Stoltz, 2005), including flexibility, perseverance, and the ability to face problems in their duties and work.

People who can solve problems more effeciently can control the situation and have a higher chance of success THEREFORE Students require the adversity quotient in order to successfully face their problems and complete their duties and responsibilities in online learning. By having the adversity quotient, they can control the situation, take advantage of opportunities, and have a greater chance of success.

Students require the adversity quotient in order to successfully face their problems and complete their duties and responsibilities in online learning. By having the adversity quotient, they can control the situation, take advantage of opportunities, and have a greater chance of success.

Several studies have revealed the effect of adversity quotients on workplace aspects. THERE IS  a significant effect of adversity quotient on work ethics, school organization culture, and *teacher performance*The adversity quotient affects student performance too.).

We all are aware that At the end of 2019 and early 2020, a new virus was found in Wuhan, China, namely, coronavirus disease COVID 2019.

This virus did spread rapidly across the globe, causing the world to face a global pandemic. In the COVID-19 pandemic era, almost all sectors of the world’s life were affected, including our country  India*. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy, education, personal and social life of  people.

In the educational aspects, there was a change in learning patterns, and face-to-face meetings at schools and colleges which changed to online. It required adaptation, readiness, and infrastructure support. Furthermore, it also required the integration of all educational complements

* Teachers and students are required to provide energy and ability to online learning environments*.

Adversity quotients can help students carry out their duties and confront problems. Students need strength, fortitude, resilience, and intelligence to face difficulties effectively. Intelligence quotient (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ) are not enough to make a student successful; therefore, adversity quotients are necessary to manage obstacles and challenges.

  Paul Stoltz in 1997 coined the term  AQ  and Paul Stoltz is rightly called the father of A.Q. he coined the term  , developed an assessment method called the Adversity Response Profile (ARP).

AQ has 3 states of mind:

Quitter, Camper and Climber!

Quitter: As the names suggests, these are people with low AQ. Such persons have a negative mind-set and tend to give up or run away from the problems. Quitters tend to wallow in self- pity, play the ‘victim’ card and sometimes are unable to face even minor difficulties.

Camper: Campers are those with low or medium AQ levels. While not entirely ‘fence sitters’ they are the yes-no-maybe types!  They are indecisive and tend to get overwhelmed when adversities aggravate. Research says that 60% fall in the Campers category. However, Campers do have some capacity to accept challenges and if they are guided well they have the potential to evolve into a ‘climber’.

Climber: These are the people with high levels of AQ. They are bold, fearless, independent and create an energy around them. Climbers take charge, are full of optimism, think about others first and are always ready to lend a helping hand.

 AQ is the CORE model.

C – *Control; O – Ownership; R – Reach; E – Endurance

CORE describes the four dimensions that make up your AQ. The combined CORE dimensions will enable you to both learn and strengthen your responses to Adversity

Control: Control occurs when one seeks facets of the situation that they can influence and control. Invariably, it would lead to higher resilience levels.

Ownership: Accountability is the backbone of action. Holding oneself responsible for improving the situation and playing some role in making it better ought to be the outlook. Being accountable for dealing with situations regardless of their cause would enhance resilience capacity.

Reach: This is about how one keeps the setbacks and challenges in their place and not let them infest the healthy areas of both work and lives.

Endurance: One should cultivate an uncanny ability to foresee how long the adversity would last or endure. Hope and optimism can create an inner energy and energize others to see past the interminable difficulties and overcome the challenges.

In conclusion, AQ is an exceptional skill – both at life and work. It is not something innate and instilled only in the ‘chosen’ few.* Once you understand the science of AQ, you can upgrade your own, your team’s and your organization’s capacity to deal with adversities*.

We must stay connected to community, close friends and family, nature, and persons who share our inner beliefs that we are all connected as children of our universe through our Creator.

These are the connections that will raise our “A.Q.” levels and help us find our way through life.

So until tomorrow …”Never give up”….God hasn’t… so neither should we …just keep on keeping on. LIFE IS WORTH IT! & “Today is my favorite day”
