Your kid sometimes will be having game, playing, sport contest or anything in the school. So, you are as a parent always telling your kid that for you that is does not matter if your kid wins. But, what’s important is that your kid would give the best in the contest and if kid gave best and looses, still the champion. But, if kid wins and did not give the best, would he/she feel happy and would deserve the title?

How you encourage your kids?

First step:
Parents should ask what do you hope to achieve by sending your kids to school? Do you aim to make a status statement each time your kids step out in their pretty school uniforms, board their air-conditioned bus to head to/return from their classy school? Or is your intention to have them equipped with the knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to make a success of their own lives adults?

High fees and pretty school buildings do not guarantee your child a high quality education so impact to character also encourage. It includes being conversant with what it takes to do more than just survive in the real world.

We were particularly glad they did not succeed, because the resultant live cat would have been so grotesque, and its looks would probably have caused visiting friends/relatives to have nightmares. But let’s not loose sight of the point being made - kids have so much capacity of believe and to display such belief and wonder without embarrassment.

Any schooling they are exposed to must be checked to ensure it does not kill this quality in any child. The problem is most schooling systems out here teach kids to be the opposite of what I have described above.

The best gift you can give your child is the ability to think for him/her. Make sure you send him/her to a school that does not “kill” that instinct/ability.

Second step:

Try to practice how to give the best encouragement. Tell to your kids that whatever she/he what to do can do it, winning is not really target but happiness is. You have to encourage kids no matter what and make them think that they are winners anyway, you are doing a good job of it and me admire you for it, if I had kids I would do the same thing as you.

I think what you tell him is really encouraging, just make sure also that you are present in his/her contest. And after that treat her/him in a restaurant for a job well done, not all kids can do what he/she did and tell us about the contest. Good luck!

Children and the Keyboard: Who is the Winner?

The keyboard and the cellphones keypad have been around since 1970’s, and it is only recently that the impact of keyboard and the cellphones keypad has been brought to notice. In some experts opinion “if a child is taught how to write in an organized manner, she/he tends to have an organized character. The loss of this tool is worrying”.

The keyboard and the cellphones keypad are now mightier than the pen. And it seems children of age school or pre-school are forgetting how to write by hand. Many orthopedic surgeons have confirmed that cases typing related stress injuries are on the rise. Though the ill effects of cellphones or keyboard computer was seen earlier. It was not so much about the effects than other issues.

It is hard to explain that child nowadays spend more time using their computers than pencils and ball pens. And because of that, they might end having bad penmanship which is very shameful when they will reach adulthood. A practice in writing with pencils and ball pens develop a child’s character because he/she learns how to be patient and be organized.

Never mind the kids forgetting how to write by hand I am sure the kids are fine, they learn to read and write at school and them wont forget it as easily as that. But what is more frightening is that they absolutely do not read anymore! And believe me, reading on the Internet doesn’t count. Looks like we are getting back to pictograms. But if children do not write anymore, who’s going to create it? Computers? Experts? Sounds funny but it’s really sad in its ironic manner.

I think there is still a solution to this problem. Parents should impose rules in the house, the kids must do their homeworks first, practice their writing ability more, and spend lesser time in front of the computer. Only parents can impose rules and make their children write so that they are in the habit of writing. I used to teach few years back when I had a period of handwriting. It gave me real pleasure when I used to see how children were improving their handwriting. This practice should continue in every house I wish.

Also, our goal as parents is to raise kids who believe in their ability to build develop their intelligence. These kids are perpetual learners — they can learn what they need to in new situations and are always curious to learn more.

Parents must develop children that are caring, generous, thoughtful people. I think teaching, reading and academics are of huge importance in the life of any 21st century human. Make sure you as a parent give solutions for your children that does not “kill” that instinct/ability.
