How to have patience while handling children-

Dear Parents,

These are some parental tips for you. I would suggest only THREE.

1. Listening to them,

2. Giving them Quality Time and

3. Letting them do things on their own.

First, let me brief you with this example for more understanding.

Whichever device we buy, whether it is a vehicle or an electronic device, so many things are inbuilt in it. But we add in extra accessories so that we get more benefits from the device.

Just like that, PARENTING is already inbuilt in all the parents. We just need a few tips to make it more effective.

All parents love their children and care for them. They feel that buying toys and feeding them is love. That's not enough.

Children enjoy when the parents give them time and also listen to them. They want somebody to listen to.

In earlier times, these necessities of love and care were taken care of by the grandparents. Now due to nuclear families and working mothers who are tired and busy when they come back home, the needs of the children are not catered to.

The attention span of the children is very little. So let us give them Quality Time, not Quantity Time.

If I only spent 10-20 minutes of myself, where my mind is full concentration with my child, that is where I am fulfilling his needs. He feels secured and happy.

I as a parent feel that I spent 1 hour with my child, but the fact is just the presence of my body is there but my mind and soul is somewhere else.

Next is Listening to them.

children like to talk about their friends and sometimes want to complain about them. But I as a parent, avoid listening to it as it is not a very important talk. But to my child, it's very important. So if not to me, to whom does he have to speak to share this to,

This is where I lack. Not being his TRUE FRIEND.

Children love to do activities like pouring water, cutting, sorting, playing with the vessels, etc. independently on their own but am I giving them a chance to do at home. If I as a parent, restrict the children from doing things on their own at home, where do they get a chance to have hands-on experiences. As a parent, am I not taking away their capabilities of experimenting experiences.

So we as parents, let's begin to hold our child's hands and make for them.

Use magic phrases-

'I LOVE YOU MY CHILD, I AM ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU'.

Seven key differences between Parenting in India and Dutch:

- A Dutch mother, Ivana, recently shared her experiences living in Mumbai for nine years, highlighting seven key differences between parenting in India. She emphasises that neither approach is "better" or "worse," but rather they involve different trade-offs. Key Differences in Parenting: According to her viral reflections on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWJv7RLDM-z/), the primary contrasts include: * Community vs. Solo Marathon: In the Netherlands, parenting often feels like a "solo marathon". In Mumbai, she experiences a "real village" where family, neighbours, and the building community are always available to help. * Independence vs. Interdependence: Dutch culture raises children to be "fierceley independent," such as cycling to school alone at age eight. Indian parenting focuses on interdependence and being part of a larger, supportive system. * Child-Friendly Public Spaces: She notes that children in India are acce...

# Beyond the Answer Key: Teaching Children How to Think

- Nurturing Thinkers, Not Memorizers: A Guide for Educators Think back to the last time a child asked you a "Why" question. Why is the sky blue? Why do birds fly? Why do we have to sleep? Young children can ask dozens of questions an hour. It is their way of mapping out a massive, unfamiliar world. As parents and educators, our natural instinct is to give them an immediate answer. We want to be helpful, and we want to share our knowledge. But when we provide the answer right away, we accidentally turn off their mental engine. ### What to Think vs. How to Think When we give an instant answer, the child learns *what* to think. They receive a static fact to memorize. But when we pause and invite them into the discovery process, they learn *how* to think. They learn to evaluate clues, connect dots, and build logic. The magic isn't in the destination (the answer); the magic is in the journey (the thinking). ### The Four-Word Shift The next time a child brings you a curious q...

REOPENING THE SCHOOL- SOME SUGGESTIONS (Suggestions via- IIEP_UNESCO):

- The COVID19 pandemic has led to another crisis of reasonable ideas in order to resolve all sorts of emerging issues in front. Educational plannings in times of crisis seem to be another challenge because of the judgmental dilemma about the importance of education as well as health. However, focusing on balancing the importance of both the aspects- education and health is focal. What and how implementable plannings could be done is the big question to be responded by most of the concerned authorities and stakeholders. Currently, school founders, principals, administrators and concerned heads are considering many ways to win this situation. There are very key areas which the school leaders should consider- Finance, Infrastructure and Human resources. Here we are discussing some ideas and suggestions that have been addressed regarding the reopening of the schools (Please refer the full resource from UNESCO at the end of this article).

Looking Deeper: How to Measure a School’s Holistic Success Before Admission:

- # Beyond the Billboard: Why It’s Time to Stop Judging Schools by Their Toppers Every spring, city streets and newspaper pages light up with the same familiar sights: massive, gloss-printed billboards featuring a handful of smiling students who scored a 99% or clinched top ranks. For decades, these billboards have served as the ultimate marketing tool for educational institutions, and parents routinely queue up for admissions based entirely on these extreme outliers. But if we look past the flashing lights of the top 1%, a critical question remains: **What about the rest of the school?** When we judge an institution solely by its toppers, we mistake individual genius for institutional excellence. To understand the true health, equity, and capability of a school, both parents and educators need to change the metric of success. ## The Illusion of the Outlier Toppers are, by definition, statistical outliers. Often, these students possess a high degree of intrinsic motivation, strong...

School Operations Manual:

- A school is a complex organization where multiple activities should co-ordinate in sync. Each stake holder - Management, Teacher, Students, Parents and supportive staff, everyone has an important role to play. All these stake holders need to know their job, roles and responsibilities, and also the structure, policy and procedure of their work. Thus a team has come up with a 'school operations manual' to support schools in designing their school policies and procedures, which will help to strengthen the school system. This manual outlines the significant policies and procedures covering a wide spectrum of activities in a school, starting from affiliation, curriculum planning, extra-curricular activities, value education, school administration, statutory compliances, HR, etc. The core objective of this manual is to communicate, describe and help in implementing the best practices, policies and procedures so as to bring standardisation in our schools through collaboration.
