TOUGH - SCIENCE / ARTS

-

 


A common topic of discussion among children and even among their parents is the identification of a stream which could be easy to study and be rewarding at the same time. Shortcomings in a student makes him choose something which appears to be easier yet which doesn't snatch all the possible options.

Lets understand the difficulty level and the requirements first. Each of the subject that you will study as student has introductory work, preparatory work and extensive reading and thinking is required. There is no subject in  academics in which can be excelled in without any effort. The knowledge will never flow towards the brain. So, to do well, one needs to put in all of the above work and then only a certain degree of confidence starts coming in  an individual. Therefore History is equally tough as Physics and Geography is as easy as Chemistry. 

There are some minds who have heard from many years that a particular subject is easy but another is full of difficulties. As far as facts to remember are concerned, they might be almost same when we compare any two subjects. However, when there is mathematical application, Science may start looking tough. But, the fault does not lie in the teacher or the subject. While growing up, the parents did not understand where the child is going wrong and consistently there was a degradation of ability. Mathematics became a thing to run away from and now the child faces problems in three subjects instead of one. Therefore the child will say that Science is tough, Arts is easy.

Arts subjects need a lot of reading, storing data in brain and there is a need to link information pieces nicely to get a better understanding of things around us. Iti not easy if one wants to be good but if the student wants to be average, it may look easy.

Hence, difficult or easy is a state of mind. The way a mind is shaped, has an impact on the individual and the next generation also. After reading this every parent must answer this question - Where is my child going? What should I do?

Stay tuned and stay connected.

Bye!

WAYS TO IMPROVE SPEECH

  T here are four major components of speech. A good amount of effort directed towards these will help to increase effectiveness of one’s speech and make it easy for the listener to comprehend. It will also leave a lasting impression and that is extremely important. The four key components are: 1. CONTENT: The topic on which you will speak will surely have some important data or references. Facts are the backbone of good speech. Mentioning those makes a  speech reliable and believable. Speaking on gut feeling alone is not enough and good content differentiates a good speech from an average one. Even if one is speaking with friends or relatives, it will be prudent to make good use of data and facts to put forward one’s views. Over a period of time, it will become a habit and thus will be a permanent part of one’s personality. 2. LANGUAGE: One needs to be good at communicating one’s thoughts everywhere. The language could be Hindi or English but one’s ability to understand both and to co

GIVING KNOWLEDGE TO A CHILD

  Developing a child's life requires that the child is equipped with a lot of knowledge from different fields. In today's world, what kind of knowledge should parents give to children? If this is understood, a lot of problems can be solved easily. Let us consider a scenario where parents interact with children and provide different kinds of information. On the other hand there is a house where parents are very busy and do not interact with children and thus the children do not benefit from knowledge. Over a period of time the gap increases tremendously and the child who had the support of parents and who got knowledge regularly would have built a large knowledge base. This child will be confident and will be able to express an opinion on different things. We all want our children to be smart, confident and clever. But all these qualities are built in a child on basis of the knowledge that he/she acquires. Therefore it is the parents duty to provide books, reading material and a

The decisions that impact a child's life are taken mostly by parents. While it is true that impulsive nature has its merit but a careful analysis of self, family and the child is very necessary in case we want to bring out the best in the child. Therefore, in many cases, it is our(the parent)depth of judgement which decides how the child is going to walk on the decided path.  This can be understood by a simple example. If a parent decides on the school for a child there are many factors that come in play. Distance from home, the quality of academic staff, demonstrated results, company of children are some of the choices that the parents have to navigate through. There will never be a hasty decision taken because the quality of decision impacts the child's future. Similarly, when planning for building life of a child, it is important to consider all the factors that will decide what the child will become. Mentoring, quality of support, detailed look into extra curricular acti
