Why it’s important for parents to give time to their teenage children:

-

 Parents and children share unconditional care and support with each other. This is a natural god-created relationship. Parents and children both have expectations from each other, in terms of communication, discipline, care and helping hand.

 

A teenager is a growing child which is the age category between 13 to 18 years. Adolescence is usually associated with the teenage years.

 

It is important to remember that teenagers are just like you and me. They want to know what they want, they want to know what they are doing, and they want to be able to take decisions on their own terms. They are not an exception to the rule; there is no reason why they should not have the same rights as you or me. But there might be a few things in which children should take approval from parents, otherwise they might take an unsafe decision.

 



Parents should not be stressed out during parenting:

 

It is important that parents give their children the time and attention they need. Research has shown that parents who are more stressed out about their children’s well-being are more likely to be dissatisfied with their children’s behavior, and less likely to be able to provide them with the attention they need. It is therefore crucial that parents give their children the adequate time and attention they need.

 

The stress of parents can have a negative impact on a child’s wellbeing. When you are stressed out, you are likely to feel more anxious and depressed. This can have a negative impact on your child’s wellbeing.

 

 

How can you help your child?

 

One of the ways in which parents can help their kids is by giving them a sense of belonging. By giving them a sense of belonging, it helps them feel like they belong, and can help them feel like they have a purpose in life.

 

Another way in which parents can help their kids is by providing them with opportunities for growth and development, in terms of sports, academics, religious studies, etc.

 

 

Importance of giving time:

 

The importance of giving time to your teenage children is well-known. In fact, it is one of the most important factors that parents should consider when deciding whether or not to send their child to school. It does mean that children do not complete their education, but these parents prefer home-school, whereby they both all the time stay together at home learning and exploring.

 

There are many reasons why it is important for parents to give time to their children.

 

-         First and foremost, it shows that they care about them and are committed to their success.


-         Secondly, it shows that they are willing to work hard at getting the best out of themselves.


-  And finally, it shows that they are willing to work hard at being able to achieve their goals.

Parents are the ones who are able to see that their child is pursuing a career in science, technology or commerce. Parents are the ones who can help children make good choices in life. That’s why it’s so important for parents to give time to their young children. It shows children that they can do things on their own, and it shows children that they can make good decisions when it comes to life.

Parents could even take them on trips where you can see how far you have come together as a family over time. This could also give them opportunities to meet new people and interact with people from different cultures and religions so that they can learn more about themselves and each other.

 

The parent should know what is happening in their child’s life, by having frequent talks during various occasions at home, kitchen work, outings, shopping, etc. There are factors that can impact your children’s personal life and academics, factors such as poor diet, lack of sleep, bad company at school and neighborhood, and too much TV and mobile. These all can have a negative impact on the well-being of children.

 

 

Children are different in many aspects:

 

Parents are often the most important role models for their children. Children watch us at everything, the way we eat, the way we react, the way we take decisions, etc. It is also important for parents to realize that teenage children are different from other children in several ways.

 

-         First and foremost, they have a different set of skills and abilities than other age groups children. For example, teenage children have more critical abilities than other children. They also have a higher ability to learn new things, which can help them in school more than other children do.

 

-         Second, teenage children have a different set of interests than other children do. For example, teenage kids like self-reading more than other kids do. They also like playing formal sports more than other kids do.

 

It’s also important for parents to show their children that they are capable of making good choices because this is what will help them grow into successful adults. There are many other ways that parents can show their children that they are capable of making good choices in life.

 

So when your child seems stressed out about something, it could be because they are worried about their health, personal life, or academics or they are worried about them being unhappy at home. Whatever the reason, it's important to listen to your child when they are stressed out and take steps to alleviate the situation. And make a happy home and happy community.

 

Happy parenting.

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...

The man who had never occupied a school desk spent nearly 11 years trying to build a classroom large enough for an entire republic:

Snippets:  - In 1948, Azad appointed the University Education Commission under S Radhakrishnan. Its work helped shape the University Grants Commission, constituted in 1953, and later given statutory status in 1956.  - Maulana Abul Kalam Azad's story is one of self-learning, nation-building, and institutions like IITs and AIIMS that he helped set up, that continue to shape generations of Indians. - Azad served as India's education minister from August 1947 until his death in February 1958. During his tenure, India established IIT Kharagpur, the UGC, the University and Secondary Education Commissions, the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) etc - During his tenure, the central education budget rose from roughly Rs 2 crore to more than Rs 30 crore. - Azad did not see higher education as the privilege of the elites. He described basic education as the birthright of every individual and pressed for free and compulsory schooling, adult literacy, teacher training and greater...

If you are in your office more than 2 hours without walking, you are not leading the school. You are managing paperwork:

 - A school is not run from a desk. It is led from the corridors. In business they call it MBWA — Management By Walking Around. In schools we call it the Walking Headteacher Principle. The best heads are never hidebound in the office. An office-bound head hears reports about the school. A walking head sees the real school. Why You Must Walk: 1. You See The Invisible Child From your office you only see the naughty child who is sent to you. When you walk at break, at toilet time, in the library, you see the quiet child alone, the bullied child, the hungry child. The child who will never knock on your office door. That 2-minute eye contact in the corridor can save a life. 2. You Kill Problems When They Are Small Office head: Hears about a fight after it happened. Walking head: Sees the push, the swear word, the group forming in the corner, and stops it with a "Hello, boys, everything okay?" before it becomes a fight. Discipline drops by 30-40% just by visible presence. 3. Staff ...

Every Child’s Mind Can Grow: How We Learned to Protect and Nurture Young Minds:

 - For a long time, people believed that children were born with a set amount of intelligence that could never really change. If a child struggled to learn, it was often assumed to be something they were simply born with. Psychologist J. McVicker Hunt changed that mindset forever. He showed the world that a young child’s brain is not set in stone—it is flexible, growing, and deeply affected by the world around them. What a child hears, sees, and experiences in their earliest years can completely shape how their mind develops. ## What Happens When Young Minds Miss Out ? Hunt paid close attention to what happens when children grow up in tough environments without enough learning tools, books, or warm, interactive attention. He discovered that children raised without these basic early opportunities fell far behind in thinking and learning skills—not because they weren't capable, but because their brains were starving for stimulation. The most vital part of his discovery, however, was ...

The final two steps — Analyse and Prevent — are where institutional improvement happens:

 - A parent sends a message at 9:00 in the morning: “My child’s notebook has not been checked properly for the last two weeks.” Nobody responds. At 1:00 PM, the parent sends another message. Still no clear response. The next morning, the parent calls reception. Reception says: “We will inform the coordinator.” The coordinator is busy. Another day passes. By the third day, the original notebook issue is no longer the real problem. Now the parent is angry because: Nobody listened Nobody took ownership Nobody communicated Nobody gave a timeline Nobody closed the issue A small academic concern has become a trust problem. This is how many school complaints escalate. Not because the original issue was impossible to solve. Because the school did not have a system to detect, own, resolve, and close the issue early. Strong schools should not only have a Complaint Handling System. They should have a Parent Complaint Prevention System. The objective is different. Complaint handling asks: “How...

(Reframing behavioral challenges into opportunities) - The 'C-DOO' Framework: Redefining Child Behavior from Connection to Ownership:

 - C-DOO Framework—Connection, Discipline, Obedience, and Ownership Introduction: Child development and behavior explain how children grow, learn, and express their inner experiences from birth through adolescence. Research shows that early childhood experiences form the literal blueprint for a child’s lifelong brain structure, emotional health, and learning capacity.  Modern studies focus heavily on early brain plasticity, the impact of screen time, and how chronic stress affects a child's development. Researchers are also discovering that children learn self-regulation primarily through calm co-regulation with the trusted adults around them. Understanding these scientific insights gives parents and teachers a clear lens to interpret childhood actions accurately.  Instead of viewing challenging behavior as simple defiance, adults can recognize it as a signal of unmet needs or incomplete skill development. This shift in perspective helps parents respond with supportive gu...

How Going Bookless Transforms Student Learning:

- Eyes on the class, Not the Page: The Case for Bookless Teaching Let’s be honest: there’s a massive difference between a teacher who is locked into a textbook and one who is fully locked into the classroom. When we teach with our eyes glued to a page, we’re often just managing a script; but when we put the book down, the classroom instantly shifts from a formal lecture into a living, breathing conversation. It takes a little courage to step away from the safety net of printed chapters, but the payoff in raw student connection and active memory recall is unmatched. Going "bookless" in a classroom—whether you're the student or the teacher—is a bold move that shifts the energy from passive reading to active engagement.  While books are incredible resources, stepping away from them during a live session offers some unique psychological and social advantages. 1. Heightened Active Listening When there isn’t a text to follow along with, the brain is forced to process informatio...
