Happy Holi - Parenting Tips from Edu-Paedia Preschool

Greetings from the Edu-Paedia family!

Happy Holi …..The festival of Holi represents the importance of being good , keeping faith in what we do and the power of love and affection.

The  world today is filled with harsh and cruel reality of  unhappiness, selfishness and  violence. Yet we talk of realising the potential of our children. How we do that? One way is to, “catch them right “. How to do that?  

The power of praise and a simple hug or a pat is immense. Most of the time we use two words “DON’T  and NO.” with our children. Our conversation is peppered with these two words..  We think, we are teaching them not to do something. This is negative reinforcement , instead, lets identify the things done well by our children. Suppose your child wakes up with a smile, hug your child. You have reinforced that it’s a good thing to wake up in a cheerful mood. If the child finishes the food in the tiffin box, pat the child and praise the child in front of the grandparents or neighbours. Your child will walk 6 inches taller and do anything for you.  

Make time to listen to your child, be interested in what your child shares, it is also reinforcing the habit of sharing and communicating. A smile, a pat on the back, a high five or even a thumbs up will go a long way in reassuring the child and building their self-esteem. Create a CATCH RIGHT corner in your house, where you can add tokens  of good behaviour and deeds.

Only by reinforcing the right behaviour, can we chase the dream of excellence.

Happy Catching them right.

Dear Parent,                                                                                                          

Greetings from the Edu-Paedia family!

Each one of us is born happy. Do you remember the beatific smile your child had till he /she turned 7-8 months old? The child is blessed with a sunny nature. It believes the world is all good. When does its small mind begin to get tainted?  When it makes a connection with the outside world, begins to explore beyond its comfort zone it comes across many experiences. Some are the same as the experiences at home and some in complete contrast to what it sees at home. The child also begins to think and question when its senses are fully developed and it begins to develop a sense of I.. Exploring and making sense of what it sees, hears will be a continuous process. We cannot stop this exploration. Yet understanding this, we could continue to create a cocoon of happiness through some of our actions:

1. Buy happiness everyday by telling the child it is a most needed commodity. Label a smile as costly and ask the child to buy it from you. Thank you, Sorry can be two happiness coins that can be given to the child and ask them to spend it big.

2. Ask your child to name things which make it happy and draw happiness charts.

3. Create an ATM account of Happiness in your house and put notes of happiness in it by appreciating your child. For example, give drinking milk a notional value and deposit it in the account. Playing in the park can be another happiness note and can have some value. At the end of the week ask the child to count the number of happiness notes it has and reward it with an activity the child like to do.

4. Become your child’s happy friend. Share happiness episodes with your child for five minutes. Ask your child to share one happiness episode with you.

Parenting Tips

Greetings from the Edu-Paedia family.

We live in a world which is a melting pot of cultures. A question that has been bothering me is how do I define who I am ... I am an Indian but what is my identity? A strange question is it not? 

With the innumerable influences, we are exposed to, our young wards with an innocence embrace everything they see, hear and experience.  Our young ones should with pride proclaim that they are Indians.  Let us share with them the stories of our great patriots, tell them about our culture and traditions. Let them not grow up wondering what is Indian culture. Our culture is simple. It is about togetherness, sharing and giving back something to society.  It is about respecting elders and respecting our flag, national anthem and our national holidays.  

With the Republic Day, just a few days away, let us make it a personal celebration. Make sweets at home, celebrate the nation and spread the joy of being an Indian. Encourage your child to go in the neighbourhood and wish everyone on the Republic Day. We would thus create a sense of national pride.

HAPPY PARENTING.

Warm regards,

Happy Makara Sankranti, Lohri, Bihu, Pongal, Uttarayan

Greetings from the Edu-Paedia family!

Happy Makara Sankranti, Lohri, Bihu, Pongal, Uttarayan

We hope that your child has shared the significance of Sankranthi with you and has taken your blessings . Let us encourage them to visit two more neighbours and share the ‘yellu bella’.

There is a saying in Kannada "yellu bella thindu olle maathadi" that translates to 'eat the mixture of sesame seeds and jaggery and speak only good.

Looking for the good, seeing the good, hearing the good and speaking the good creates a positive outlook. There is enough violence and cruel things happening in the world. In the formative years, if we create a culture of identifying goodness, we can mould and nurture emotionally strong and happy children. Encouraging children to follow a few traditions and cultural practices at home, creates an awareness of their roots and they are quick to follow it. Discuss with children the significance of thanking the mother earth for her bountiful creations. The harvest time indicates the kindness of nature and we need to teach our children to respect nature and be thankful.

HAPPY PARENTING.

Warm regards,

Forest of Hearts - Edu-Paedia Parenting Tips

Forest of Hearts

Greetings from the Edu-Paedia family.

Happy Id Milad!

We hope that your children are taking your blessings every day. Bless them not only with health, happiness but also develop skills to appreciate others and live together.

Our children have forgotten the simple joy of sharing things with others. Let us start a simple activity with them. It called the ‘Forest of Hearts’. Let us encourage our children to thank members of the family for small things.

We can simply draw a heart and write a message thanking the child. If we do it, the child will also do what we do. We will also start it at school. We say values cannot be preached but demonstrated, let us demonstrate the value of goodness and developing a sense of gratitude.

Parenting Tips - Edu-Paedia Pre-School

As a parent, we allow our children to play, we encourage our children to explore the world

through their senses. They learn and make sense of the world visually and kinesthetically. But

don’t they need to read and write. Oh. yes, they need to read, write, and listen. The world is also

about these skills. Understanding this, we have designed activities which will help you work with

your child and enhance these skills.

We have been emphasizing the need to spend quality time with young ones. We are sending

across a set of activities called ‘Home Connect’ which can be done with them at their pace. If they

enjoy something, let them do it at one go. If they are reluctant, do not push them but let them do it

when they feel ready. We want you to be the guide, motivator, and partner. Please support them,

share yourself through these activities, bond as a team and rediscover the joy of learning together

from the eyes of your child.

Is your child a talker, does he repeat like a parrot and then add some more? You are watching an

Auditory Learner who has a keen sense of sound. He can hear and make sense of words, enjoys

music, and inscribes the word in his brain. He loves to speak and enjoys talking

The child who loves to read, holds the newspaper upside down and pretends to read, that is our

Read Write Genius. Loves the written word and writes with ease. Maybe loves the Ipad or the

computer and putters around with it. Eventually they all get there but some faster and some a

little more slowly. Let’s be there for them in this journey.

HAPPY PARENTING.

Challenges of Parenting

Greetings from the family of Edu-Paedia. We are all in the technology era. Our children are technocrats. They love computers, are addicted to television. Our imaginative children creates stories, builds drama and allows fire eating dragons, bull headed ogres, talking fish and flying turtles to be their friends. They want action all the time. They want OVER STIMULATION and are bored by reality. They love the world of cartoons and films. They are VISUAL LEARNERS. Television can be an inquiry tool. Our kids can explore places and animals or things they will not come across naturally. They can learn new things or activities. Yet for all its advantages, TV encourages our kids to be couch potatoes. Their social skills are hampered. They forget to read; their language development is impeded. They are exposed to a lot of violence and negativity. They tend to become less energetic and lose their creativity. Let us ration the TV time. Let us watch TV with them. Television time can be bonding time. Story telling or reading together can replace TV time. Walk and play with your child. Let our kids enjoy reality rather than make believe. “Say no to TV”. We are organizing a session on „The joys and challenges of parenting‟ by Dr. Gururaj Karajagi, Chairman, Edu-Paedia at R.V. Institute of Management on the 19th November, 2016. Register and be a courageous and empowering parent …..

Warm regards,
