Using optimistic language in the classroom can change the way children learn and respect themselves and the others:

- While delivering lecture in class many of us are unaware that we are addressing the minds and hearts with the powerful tool of communication and hence are not very mindful of the choice of words.

- Teachers have the opportunity to reframe students’ pessimistic statements into more optimistic ones.

- The kind of language that the students use also can reflect the thoughts that they have about themselves.

More Than a Report Card: Defining True Success:

 - šŸš€ The Partnership That Powers Success: Building Resilience and Purpose Together: This article is dedicated to every member of our vibrant educational community: our determined students, our dedicated teachers, our supportive parents, and our visionary school management. We are all partners in a singular, vital mission: ensuring that education goes beyond grades and truly prepares our students for life. For students to thrive in a rapidly changing world, they need two non-negotiable skills: Resilience and Purpose. šŸ’Ŗ Resilience: Mastering the Art of the Bounce Back The path through school—and through life—is rarely a straight line. Setbacks, low scores, and moments of doubt are inevitable. Our shared goal is to shift the focus from helping students avoid failure to teaching them how to master the art of bouncing back. Consider the story of Reeta one of our former students. Reeta was highly driven, but when she faced a significant disappointment—not achieving a major goal on her ...

Addressing Modern Disciplinary Challenges in Schools:

 - It's clear that schools today face unique disciplinary hurdles, particularly with the current generation of students. The traditional methods of lectures and assessments often fall flat, especially with boys, who seem to thrive on an activity-based approach to learning. This shift in engagement styles can make education feel like a forced endeavor, leading to a noticeable lack of interest and a decline in respect for manners and discipline. A significant concern is the limited parental cooperation. Many parents appear to feel their children are beyond their control, even suggesting corporal punishment as a solution and seemingly expecting schools to bear the sole responsibility for their children's tarbiyah (upbringing and moral development). This creates a challenging environment for educators. Compounding these issues is the evolving role of teachers. Modern educators, while dedicated, may not possess the same emotional resilience as previous generations, making it difficu...

Challenges faced by school counsellors as per study undertaken in India (Part 1.12)--:

 - Counselling skills are seen as an important area in educational institutions. The education boards like CBSE mandates schools to appoint counsellor. The schools which have appointed counsellors in the school environment, the counsellor face few challenges, as school involves multiple stakeholders- Teachers, Children, Parents, Management, Civil society (Civil society- When school is involved with collaborative programs with external institutions). There are some kinds of stigma attached to counsellor and counselling practices. When counsellor calls children to meet, they become very conscious to go to the counsellor even to have general interaction. Some responded that if a child goes to a dedicated counsellor, the child might think he has negativity in him. A counsellor said that rapport building takes much time. Children are afraid because they have misinformation about counselling. Class 1st to 5th children know counsellor as a Lifeskills teacher and not as a counsellor. It he...

How does too much nagging effect children:

 - Imagine an 8-year-old girl named Lily is getting ready for school. Her mom is constantly reminding her: "Lily, have you brushed your teeth yet?" "Did you pack your lunch? Don't forget your water bottle!" "Hurry up, we're going to be late! Put on your shoes!" "Don't forget your homework!" Lily, feeling overwhelmed and rushed, may: Become distracted:  Forget what she was supposed to do and lose focus. Feel anxious:  Start to worry about making mistakes and disappointing her mom. Resist and argue:  Refuse to do things quickly, leading to a power struggle. Feel overwhelmed:  Feel like she can't do anything right and lose confidence in her ability to get ready for school. This constant pressure can make getting ready for school a stressful experience for Lily. Instead of nagging, her mom could try a more supportive approach, such as: Creating a visual checklist:  Help Lily create a checklist of things she needs to do in the morning,...
