“The Birds & The Bees Talk” in general it is that talk in which Parents explain & talk about Sexual relationship to their kids. People say, “Charity begins at home”. But basically, every good thing or beginning step of any education begins at home. This is because what we learn from home generally stays with us for long and it gets embedded within our souls. We try to follow it unknowingly. Sex education is not an exception in this case. Parents Dos and Don’ts on Sex Education: Indian parents are usually very judgmental of what should be discussed at home and what should be kept under covers. But can we really segregate that these are the things we should discuss at home and these are the things that we should refrain from? Well, right and wrong are basically relative terms. But of course the parents are somebody to decide what their children should know at what point of time. Indian Social Norms on Sex Education: In today’s world, with the increasing use of internet, it has become extremely difficult and sometimes impossible for the parents to monitor what their child is growing with each and every day. India is definitely one of those lands which run on the basis of Pre-conceived notions when it comes to the society. What the society will think of ourselves is more important to us than what we want ourselves to be and this malicious choice of priorities has casted its evil shadow not only on The Birds and The Bees Talk, but also on the ambitions of the youngsters. Sex & Education: A Natural Process : Diffusion, osmosis and photosynthesis are perhaps the most fundamental concepts that we have gained from our Biology books. But why should we learn about these natural processes if we are not allowed to learn about sex which is also the most fundamental natural phenomenon.Without sex, life would have been impossible on earth.Yet in today’s 21st century, Indian parents fail to understand the significance of sex education.Learning something from textbook and reference articles is very different from learning through discussions. Discussions are always more helpful than any kind of reading-writing procedure and if we have the same discussion with our family members then I can challenge that things will be more easy to understand and we will surely have a different kind of comfort level with each of our family members. Parent’s Thoughts on Sex Education: Whenever the word sex is uttered most of the people develop a sense of dirty feeling within their minds. What they fail to realize is that it’s the very cause of their own existence. A magazine displaying condom advertisement on its back cover is hidden away by the elders of the so-called cultured families.They tend to restrict each and every child of the family to keep away from such advertisements.Instead of doing such kind of meaningless activities if a person sits and talks with his or her daughter or son about the protective measures of a healthy sexual life then perhaps the society can become a better place to live in. Request to Parents on The Birds & The Bees Talk: It’s an earnest request to each of the parents round the world on my behalf—please allow your child to know the truth of his or her existence. With the accelerating curve of child sexual abuse, it is very important for each of the young hearts of the world to become cautious and aware of the surroundings. And if something unfortunate happens, your children must have a comfort level to share his or her dreadful experience with you. This can only be achieved through normal conversations on The Birds and The Bees—through words, through gestures or through games.
Play Schools are known by Pre-primary School, Pre-School, Nursery School or Kindergarten. All these are designed to offer Early Childhood Education (ECE) to children for kids between the age group of 2½ to 5 years. A Play school is a place where around 10-20 children spend a few hours regularly under the supervision of trained teachers and professionals. The curriculum does not aim at developing academic skills; it only focuses on social development and character building of a child. At this phase a child is very observant, and hence they can learn things just by imitating and following instructions. There are no rules or goals as such and there is no pressure imposed upon children, the kids are handled patiently and allowed to learn at their own pace. Objective of a Play School: Children are not born with skills, they have to develop them. This is where the play school steps in to not only help the children but also provide support to their parents. The parents have a chance to observe their own child and the other toddlers and get a reference for judging their own child’s behavior. Play schools offer an external support system to the parents, where they also get an opportunity to interact with other parents and keep in touch with different approaches to parenting. Parents can easily access the trained supervisors for advice if they are facing any problems with their child at home. Apart from widening parenting horizons, play schools offer a lot for an all round development of a child. Benefits of a Play School: Pre-Schools provide different facilities under one roof like Learning Toys, Puzzles and technology based Toys, different types of learning activities & many more facilities. All these activities are done by kids under proper guidance so that it becomes a learning experience. When a child plays with a doll and dresses it up and feeds it, the teachers aim to transfer their behaviors into their own lives. This way a child will eventually learn to feed and bathe themselves. Nursery Schools also teach children to recognize their own possessions. A child learns to take care of their own belongings and not misplace them time and again. A child’s language skills also develop faster as they interact with many children of their own age and learn to connect better. Play Schools prepare children for their smooth entry into formal school as they help to minimize separation anxiety. They prepare children to face the world, as they are more self-confident and independent also they have improved interpersonal skills and better capabilities.
The new generation kids are blessed with technology from such an early age and these modern equipments can work wonders if they learn to use them judiciously. A 2-year old can easily handle any gadget and exactly knows how it functions. Action figures, puzzles and blocks are no longer the standard toys among today’s children rather they prefer playing video games and mobile games on tablets and I-pads. Positive effects of Gadgets upon Kids: From a very early age kids develop an aptitude for technology, which is an important skill now as modern equipments and multimedia are used in school learning. Tablets and smart phones offer a very good user interface which makes learning much more fun for kids. Using various applications like Skyping or Face timing with friends or relatives, which enhance their communicative and interpersonal skills and also help in cordial relationship building. Negative effects of Gadgets: Brain Damage: Modern gadgets are not of utmost importance for child development. Rather, fancy gadgets hamper their brain activities and reduce one-on-one time with their parents. Overexposure to gadgets may cause attention deficit, cognitive delays and impaired learning. Language Delay for infants: Reports suggest that toddlers under the age of two do not have the cognitive ability to comprehend complex programs of a smart phone, which interferes with the “talk time” between the parent and the child, which ultimately results in delayed language skills. Delayed Development: Kids under the age of 12 do not play outdoor games, rather they spend time playing video games and surfing the internet. This restriction in movement results in delayed development which makes them physically unfit and socially awkward. Sleep Deprivation: Using laptops and mobile phones late at night, deprives children a good night sleep. This results in an unhealthy lifestyle and divided attention, which hampers their performance at school. Child Aggression: Some online games available on the internet portray violence, murder, torture and mutilation, which can make kids violent and aggressive. Guidelines for Kids using Gadgets: The user interface should be made interactive which helps the brain development and language development, which happens only when a child talks about what is happening on screen. It should be more of an exchange of words rather than only one directional. The build-in parental controls in the device should be used by parents to restrict their child`s use of internet for a limited time period. Parents should also have access to their search history and their different activities online. Reading E-books should be encouraged, though not for long, as more amount of screen time may affect the eyes of the children. Too much screen time should not be allowed as it means less time for other activities like playing outdoor games or studying. Moderation and balance is the key to ensure a healthy relationship between a child and the gadgets. A child must be monitored and should only be allowed to spend a few hours on gadgets. Parents must talk to their kids and spend time with them and get them involved and interested in hobby classes so that their attention is diverted and their time is spent fruitfully.
Science and technology has changed the outlook of the society and has shown its positive impacts in every sphere. The use of technology and modern equipments has been whole heartedly adopted by schools and has helped teachers to expand beyond linear, text-based learning and monotonous lectures. Its role in schools has evolved with time, and has expanded the horizons of learning by matching international standards. Advantages of Technology Integration in Education: Technology integrated in education sphere, facilitates the student`s learning and boosts their capacity, productivity, and performance. It brings about positive changes in teaching methods which is at par with international standards. 1. Technology makes teaching easy: Boring long lectures and theoretical explanations often deteriorates the attention span of students and sucks the interest out of them. Audio-visual presentations, enable students to understand exactly how the knowledge is applied in practice and give makes the concept easier to understand. Projectors and computer presentations can be used to deliver any type of lesson or instruction and improve the level of comprehension within the class. 2. Technology helps in tracking a student`s progress: Some innovative software and applications like MyStudentsProgress and theTeacherCloud Progress Tracker are great online tools that enable schools and parents to determine the progress of the students. Instead of using old traditional techniques and manipulative methods, teachers rely on this new technology to have an update about every student. 3. Educational technology is good to the environment: It would be an eco friendly option to stop the use of papers and use digital textbooks in classrooms. Ebooks ad Ereaders are prevalent in today`s time, and it would be really convenient for a student to take exams online, and study via ebooks, instead of using pens and paper. This would reduce environmental pollution, as more trees could be saved. 4. Technology makes learning fun: Students are addicted to social media and internet from a very early age, which might turn out to be a harmful distraction. But teachers and parents can mold their inclination to spend time online for good purposes like making presentations, watching educational animated videos, writing and reading blogs, following TED talks, etc. Such activities can motivate a student to be innovative and inspire them to be constructive dreamers. 5. Technology makes distance learning more accessible: Distance learning or Distance education is one of the most trending learning methods. Virtual lessons are attaining greater importance than before and it is highly convenient for students. In case a student cannot afford to travel a long distance, or rather move out to another city, then they can easily enroll for courses on-line and gain the knowledge they are interested in. Working professionals can also opt for distance learning, to expand their knowledge without leaving their jobs. Online services are highly sought after, and the high quality video lectures and trained professionals available virtually, are at par with classroom education. 6. Students and teachers can easily access information at any time: Students can easily access newspapers, scientific articles, studies, and any other type of content online. They can write better, deeper academic papers because they can support and modify their arguments with references and ideas from all over the world. Students get instant information once they type the keywords online, irrespective of what time it is. Whereas, in old schools, students have to spend hours in the library to look for a single piece of information. Thus, technology saves a lot of time in this busy world, and makes the job much easier for students and teachers. 7. Technology makes collaboration easy: Online tools and apps offer a unique setting for students to engage in a group projects and participate in discussions with their teachers. They work from home, as the team is connected through the Internet and everyone is inspired by the focused environment. In case of any query, they can ask the teachers directly and gather instant help. Online collaboration gives every student an equal chance to participate, unlike traditional classroom settings, where only good students monopolize the discussion. Conclusion: The future of the educational system is practically determined by the development of technology and only proper technology can guide students towards greater understanding of all concepts covered in class. Thus, there should to be no second thoughts in accepting this positive change and digitalize education for the convenience of both teachers as well as students.
Teenage is considered as one of the best phases in one`s life. Kids between the ages of 13 to 19 Years enter adolescence and encounter a lot of ‘firsts’. Although teenage is considered as a cheerful, happy and carefree time, it also marks the advent of formidable years and challenges too. Teenage is a time that is filled with confusion and anxiousness and it is the duty of the parents, to extend their helping hand and be there for their kids as a friend and confidant. Issues faced as a teenager: There are various issues which a teenager faces, irrespective of gender. Some of the problems are extremely alarming, and needs to be addressed immediately by a caring adult or a professional. The most common Teenager Problems are: Appearance: A girl and even a boy at this age, gets really anxious about how their body and structure is turning out to be. Presently, due to excessive use of social media and public forums, teenagers constantly compare themselves to the perfect-figure bodies that they come across on the internet. This lowers their self esteem, as they start doubting their looks and try to become someone they are not. This is a very serious issue, as students tend to change their lifestyles and starve themselves to death, so that they can attain the so called perfect look. Media and peer pressure also adds on to their baggage. Bullying: Bullying is an issue which is extremely prevalent in the teenage phase at schools. A student may get depressed if they are constantly picked upon and consequently they might react strangely by keeping to themselves. Such a hostile environment, impacts a teenager negatively, and shatters their self respect and personality. Cyber bullying: Online bullying or Cyber bullying is a widespread and fast growing phenomenon while offline bullying continues to be a problem as well. Cyber bullying is far worse than direct in person bullying because, the anonymous person posting rumors on social media is completely oblivious of the fact that how badly they are affecting the victim by shattering their self esteem and reputation on a public forum. Education: Academic is a constant criteria in which a student needs to excel, in any phase of life. But sometimes, especially in this phase, amidst all the distractions it becomes extremely difficult for students to keep up with their scores and handle the pressure. Many good students also succumb to the excessive stress and lose their confidence. Depression: Teenagers especially girls can get affected by any random unimportant things due to which they feel restless and lose the will power to stay strong and happy. Various factors may lead to depression like low grades, break ups, high parental expectations, weight gain, substance use, peer pressure, etc. It is alarming to see that such minor problems also trigger suicides amongst teenagers and the numbers have only been increasing over the years. Students succumb to such intense situations and decide to throw away their lives, without even thinking about their family and future. This is very serious issue which needs to be pondered over by parents as well as schools. Solutions for Teenager Problems: A child should be constantly reminded that they are beautiful just the way they are, and they do not need to be perfect or match presumed standards. The teachers should make sure that they are not forcing extra pressure on the kids, to excel in all fields. They should understand their limits and weaknesses and glorify their strengths to rekindle their self confidence. Students should not be allowed to use social media from such an early age, and even if they do, they should not be taking these platforms seriously. Validation from a public forum is absolutely unnecessary as it plays with a student`s mind and perception. Parents should give special attention to their children at this age and monitor their activities and take interest in their personal life. Instead of immediately denying an idea or permission, they should consider their child`s needs and make sure they are mentally stable and not disturbed by uncanny situations. Conclusion: These Teenage Issues are very common and can be easily handled if they are identified at the right time by the right people. Life has so much to offer and children should understand that some small glitches cannot be the end of the world. They should learn to fight and stand up for themselves and hold their ground in such challenging and upsetting scenarios.
It is never too early to educate a child about safety and security. Parents are afraid of their child`s safety at schools, roads and even at home; irrespective of age, a child should be aware of their surroundings, and self security should be their first priority. Teaching a child about talking to strangers depends on their age. Preschoolers are unaware of the term “stranger” and fail to determine who is safe or unsafe. Thus, at schools and toddlers must be taught about basic safety and how to deal with unfavorable situations. The 5- to 8-year-old must be given special attention and lessons about safety and how to deal with strangers, when they are alone and unsupervised in public or at home. A 4 year old knows who a stranger is and must be taught safety rules. Whereas, School-age kids have an idea that some strangers might be dangerous and some can be totally harmless. They have the ability to differentiate between the two with their judgment and impulse. Ways to teach kids to handle strangers: Informing Parents: A parent should be aware of their child`s whereabouts, no matter where they are going. A child must be given strict instructions to inform to their parents about their outings. Even if it is a minor chore or an errand, a parent should be informed; this way they can protect their child from other people. A child should feel free to inform their parents about someone`s inappropriate behavior, be it a stranger or a known person. Parents must listen to their kids by supporting them and address the person trying to hurt them. No Stringent Rules: To a child, virtually everyone they meet is a stranger, at least at first, like, day-care providers and teachers, babysitters, doctors and nurses and dentists, the mail carrier, even police officers. While there are some strangers with ill-intentions, most of the others are safe and probably friendly and kindly disposed towards children. Thus, a child should not be taught to “never” interact with a stranger, rather they should be taught to be more alert and aware and avoid any physical contacts. Childproofing: At an early age a child should be taught to spell and write their full name and at least know the names of one parent. They must know their address and telephone numbers of their parents and emergency numbers like 9-1-1 or 1-0-0. Basic body safety: Teachers and parents should educate 2- and 3-year-old with general body safety. Preschoolers are not too young to learn the correct terms for their genitals and they must be taught that no one is supposed to touch their private parts and they must avoid any kind of physical contact with strangers or sit on their laps. Using Public Bathrooms and Trial Rooms: By age 6, most children are ready to use a public restroom and trail rooms on their own. A parent should be vigilant and should stay close to their child. They must immediately refuse help from unknown people, if offered any. Ability to say NO: A child should be taught to recognize suspicious behavior. Instead of telling them to be scared of an unknown person and run away from them, a child must be taught to detect danger and uncanny situations. Instances like, a stranger offering candies, asking for directions, asking for personal information, showing inappropriate behavior; kids should be aware of such circumstances and never succumb to the given scenario. They should be taught to stay away from such strangers and never offer or accept any help from such people. Final Thought about Parents, Kids & Strangers: It is not possible to protect kids from strangers at all times. But it is possible to teach them about appropriate behaviors and what to do if somebody crosses the line. There is no point crushing a child`s friendly and outgoing nature and terrorizing a child by making them scared of everyone by dwelling on such unpleasant possibilities as kidnapping, rape, and murder; rather they must be taught to distinguish among different people and always be alert and attentive. Keeping these tips in mind can help kids stay safe while they’re out and about.
In today’s date getting better grades should not be the sole aim of any student & student should not depend on classroom study. So students should develop the habit of Self-Studying. Every student must develop the art of Self-Studying & Study Smartly rather than studying hard. Although we know that hard work leads to success only a few will agree to the fact that hard work with smartness leads to the miracle. Research on Self-Study: Researchers reveal that different parts of the brain are stimulated by different types of media. Our brain contains hippocampus, which makes a mental note of pictures that we view. As a result, learning through diagrams, images and video lectures help a lot more than mugging up text books and listening to teachers and professors. Basically, in order to retain something in our brains, we need to intake the same information in different ways. Mix and Match Study: We never complete our meals with more quantity of only one dish. We generally have at least three to four types of dishes in conventional order. Similarly, it is more effective to study multiple subjects each day than to go into the depths of only one or two subjects. This is because it is always more probable to confuse similar information if you study too much of the same subject in one day. Incessant Revision: When students do Self-Study incessant revision is must. After studying a particular topic, prepare a list of the essential points and conclusions of the topic. Next time, when you study another topic of the same subject keep at least five to ten minutes for recapitulating the previous topic via those points. This periodic revision gradually moves the information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. Practice makes perfect: Those days are gone when practice and Self-Studying meant doing the same thing over and over again. In today’s world, like all other things, even practice requires variety. Working out a different type of problem compels your mind to think in different ways. As a result, if you can solve a particular type of problem, you can at least approach or even solve a completely different type of it based on the same concept. Regularity in Self-Studying: Studying for the shorter duration on a regular basis is more effective than sitting with books for the entire day before the examinations. Attending classes regularly helps the students understand the subjects better. Frequent tests are also a good option for self-assessment. Doubt clearing classes also increase the interactions between teachers and students which ultimately lead to better understanding. Questioning mind is the master key to a crystal clear idea of any topic. Note Making: Students who take notes by hands develop a tendency to process and reframe the information. On contrary to this online note-takers generally, take down exactly the words which are uttered by the teacher. As a result, the notes form a dictated passage and ultimately become almost similar to the paragraphs of books and articles. Hence, scientists usually recommend the method of offline note making. You can also have an audio recording of the lecture with the permission of the concerned teacher or professor. Self-Reward: Before starting a Self-Study session it is very important that you set a reward for yourself. It can be anything which you love to do in your free time. From reading an article to listening to music— this award will refresh your mind and bring the urge in you to study smartly and learn faster. Regular study breaks and daily meditations are extremely important for the growth and development of your concentration. Note for Students: Focus on the process of studying and not on the outcome. If you study smartly and wholeheartedly, good results will surely follow. Write the answers to the questions incorporating the corrections after you get to see your answer scripts for every examination. Live a healthy life with regular exercises. Always remember that being the best is less important than doing your best.
