They form strong attachments to primary caregivers (usually parents). This bond is crucial for their sense of security and trust. They can recognize and express basic emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, and fear.

She directly comes to me and hands over one piece of sweet to me.

5 points - Better teacher collaboration and better school outcomes:

- Collaboration means collective efforts to achieve shared belief and common outcome. Collaborative efforts are essential, particularly when the focus is on progress and development. Below are the 5 points why collaboration is key at school: 1. The collaboration between the teachers is key for academic development and progress at school.

Philipsborn's journey from Germany to India to help during setting up of Jamia University at Delhi:

- How did a German Jew Gerda Philipsborn come to Delhi, India to help establish one of the top university of India ‘Jamia’. It was a place so distant and disconnected from her homeland. Philipsborn's journey from being a German - a European women in colonial India - to becoming Jamia's Aapa Jaan (which she was fondly called at the university) began in 1933 when she traveled to India. At the university Philipsborn encouraged Jamia's girls and women to play a more active role in society. When she joined the editorial team of Payam-e Ta'lim, Jamia's children's journal, she contributed articles that spotlighted the hobbies and interests of women and encouraged girls to write for the journal. Apart from her work with the children of Jamia, Gerda also helped its founders raise funds for the university. Many do not know the hidden gem who contributed for the development of one of the top university of India, when it was at its initiation stage . Source and det
