GET WORK DONE NOW

-

 



All days of our lives have a long list of tasks that have to be done. As parents, you also have to do a lot of things for your child's development. Let us compare a few things and see if parents get the work done for children as they would do for daily household chores or their profession.

1. If one parent has to bring vegetable from market, the vegetable will come home before dinner so that they can be cooked. On the other hand, if a certain amount of time was to be given for the child's academic supervision, it may so happen that the time was not given. If dinner was important that day then 2 - 3 hours of academic work was also important. Why one was favored over another? This is the question that demands an answer from parents. Equal time has to be given, painfully, everyday. There is no shortcut.

2. The child may be in  class B town / city in India. There may not be enough friends who are working on developing their personality and communication skills. Have you taken out the time to make the child understand this, build a group and then help the child speak and express himself / herself better in both the languages? Have you set up meetings with like minded parents to help the child? Have you looked for some support system?


If not, what are you waiting for ?

3. Your career as a professional is made but your child's need to be build. If you go and work in an organization, it helps the organizational goals. What about your child's goals? Are you spending an equal amount of time on that. If not, why? You need to understand the time it will take to give exposure to the child, plan and work on that, even if you have a good support system.

These questions are hard hitting, they are tough. But if you understand them you will take those steps, those initiatives that will build a child's life in totality. Good Luck.

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

  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
