Do you think your child is celebrating holidays?
All adults are stressed about corona virus. Many countries are on lock down. Children directly or indirectly listen how people are dying. How can they be joyful and carefree?
Look beyond your child’s smile. Your child might be anxious but not able to show it. This is the difficult time for all.
If your child is falling asleep while studying, you need to address this as soon as possible. Or else their brain will start associating studying with sleep and they will have hard time when they grow up. This is called brain conditioning or habit forming.
Recently I was talking to my cousin and she said, ‘My son carries biscuits in his school box’. I said, “Oh, it is OK once in a while”. She said, “NO, he eats biscuits every day, all kids in his class do that!” What is
I started doing Yoga from age 10 and have been doing it since then. Sometimes I leave it for few months but always find my way back in. I am very fortunate to learn Yoga ( asanas and all other aspects of Yoga) from eminent
Parenting is a tough job and some years are tougher than others. Most parents get their first shock when child turns 2. In development psychology, this period is rightly called ‘Terrible Twos’. Why is this terrible? Because children rapidly change their behaviour at this time.
Your child can code too.

It is OK, if parents don’t know coding. You can learn with your child!

So I am going to make it easy.
Controlling screen time mostly ends up in arguments and fights. So I encourage my son to learn new skills using computer. Animation is one of them. Please note that I never taught him animation. He learnt on his own (he is yet to master it).
Instead of fighting with children on media time, how about we encourage them to create cartoons (or in technical words create animations)?. Animation involves observing real life objects and depicting them on the screen. This involves physics (how objects hit each other and bounce back, how animals move), geometry (drawing shapes, views), anatomy(human and animal body structure), biology(textures of natural elements), mathematics(setting right frame per second) etc. This also helps children to understand how theoretical academic topics map to real life.
