Nurturing a Love of Language: Strategies for Enhancing Children’s Vocabulary

Nurturing a Love of Language: Strategies for Enhancing Children’s Vocabulary

Comments 328 Comments

You’ve probably heard of “one-sided love,” but “one-sided talks” may be a new term to you. First, one-sided talks are much sweeter and more lovely than one-sided love. When you take your baby for the first time and share your love, exhaustion, and pain with them from one side, the same emotions float in your eyes as gratitude. The child stares blankly at your face. After a few months, they respond with a smile, and after a year with sweet sounds. For two years, they address you with their sweet dialect and turn your pain into a smile. These one-sided talks are unknown to them, but these are the sounds that nurture them and fill them with love.

Life skills are the abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life. If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first four hours sharpening the axe.  — Abraham Lincoln We, as parents, try to educate children and see them succeed in life but do not train them for life matters. These things may seem small, but their impact can be very painful. These minor missing may…

Apart from mathematics and biology, there are many other subjects to teach and study. Doctors and engineers are common professions, but there is a world of other big and powerful positions. There is a certain idea among our parents, children, and society that they will either become a doctor or an engineer. There is no other destination in front of them. If you go to any school, you will see only two groups. Thankfully, this spell is starting to break now, and parents and children are turning to different kinds of skills.

Negative Influences and Children: How to Ensure Their Safety

Negative Influences and Children: How to Ensure Their Safety

Comments 6 Comments

Children look less to their parents and more to their peers for learning. Peer relationships provide a unique context in which children learn important social-emotional skills such as empathy, cooperation, and problem-solving strategies. However, peer relationships (where negative influences exist) can also play a negative role in social and emotional development. Therefore, it is important for parents to be aware of their child’s peers and their activities and observe them on a daily basis.

The Reasons Behind School Refusal in Children

The Reasons Behind School Refusal in Children

Comments 2 Comments

When I go to primary school early in the morning, I see many parents dragging their crying children to school. The children run and refuse to go to school, but the parents make them go in a dictatorial manner, using their inherited methods. They do not look for the true reasons behind the children’s reluctance. This will break the children’s hearts and they will not be able to go to school with enthusiasm.

Schools should be places where children can learn, grow, and feel safe- Protecting Children When I was in 9th standard, I tried to change my institution. I had to study science and there were no teachers in the school in my village. After going through great resistance, I convinced my family and was admitted to another school. When I was sitting in the classroom on the first day, the class in charge called me. I went up to the teacher, as…

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. A drawing teacher says he once saw a child drawing a strange picture in a notebook. The teacher asks him. Son! What are you doing?The child innocently replies, “I’m drawing a picture of God”.The teacher asks him that no one has seen God, so how can he draw a picture of him?The child gives a very interesting answer.“Sir, if you wait…

Parents should remember that the early years of education and parental involvement are essential. These are the years when the child’s mind develops and this makes him intelligent. Children who are not given special attention can have weak minds.

As an educator and administrator, I would strongly advise parents to teach their children the alphabet, numbers, colours, animal names, etc. at home before sending them to school, so that they will be confident when they get there. Teachers and fellows will compliment them. This process will serve as the basis for the child’s literacy.
