CHILDREN AND MEDIA

Media and Our Children. It is believed that media literacy is very crucial for today’s children. It makes the difference between kids being a tool of media or the media being used as a tool by the children. These days young children demand technologically-controlled toys and being online is regarded as a normal part of growing up. Why Media-related Guidance? The media arts tools are easily accessible and having the entertainment world at their fingertips is an exciting prospect for every child. This is where adult guidance becomes very important. The parents have to make sure that the children use technology as it end-users and don’t become emotionally dependent on them. Media tools should be used to encourage a child’s creativity and not replace it. It is the responsibility of the parents and teachers to guide children through the use of various media tools. Preschoolers and Kindergartners Kids of this age are easy prey to accepting everything that is on the television as the reality. The parent’s role becomes critical here. For example, the parents have to explain that television commercials using extreme special effects aren’t the reality but just a fanciful creation. Elementary Students These children have some degree of developed analytical skills and are capable of grasping the basic concepts of the images seen on the television and computer. However, children this age might take a particular fancy to certain characters and start developing a virtual world of such friends. Again, the parents have to be careful that children don’t get obsessive about their favourite characters and don’t confuse reality with TV viewing. Engaging Students in Media The parents shouldn’t be afraid of encouraging a child to enjoy the media in its various forms. However, the parents have to ensure that these activities are suitable for the child’s age. Parents can do this by slowly exposing the children to the world of media. • Media in Everyday Life — using media is a part of our daily lives. Even a young child should be encouraged to see how technology has made his/her toys so amazing. • Active Involvement — preschoolers love to sing and dance with music from TV or a radio. Try and focus the child’s attention towards the number of channels a TV can play. Try and tell the child about the incredible use of a TV remote. • Voice Recording — a very comfortable activity to introduce children to the media is to tape record the child’s voice as he recites a poem or a song. Then replay the tape. Children are fascinated upon hearing their own voice and want to find out how it the recording process actually works. • Birthday Celebrations — parents could plan a special birthday party for their child and select the theme as ‘Be a Star’. A small gathering of the child’s friends can be invited. Ask the children to sing one-by-one. The children should be encouraged to sing independently. A small level of lighting controls and effects could be created on the podium where the children sing. The children would be curious about how a small theatre-like setting could be created in their own house. • Outside Influences — children could be taken to aquariums and zoos. This helps the children related with the images of animals seen on TV. • Photographing — a digital camera can be used to a great extent in making the children curious about how things work and how do natural settings look when they are clicked or presented as pictures.

WHY IS PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT ESSENTIAL ?

Parents send their children off to school and expect the teachers and the school to take care of their child’s educational needs. However, parents themselves can play a vital role in ensuring that their children’s education is holistic and effective. Parent participation and involvement at home, and to a certain extent in school, has a major impact on the child’s focus and performance. Parent can be Effective at Home by: * Reading to the child – reading aloud is considered the most effective way to develop a child’s aptitude to read, write, think and be creative. * Discussing about the characters in the books and stories the child likes the most. * Helping the child in organizing his daily schedule. * Limiting the quality and quantity of television viewing, especially on school nights. * Talking to the child about the daily happenings in his school. * Making sure that the child completes his homework before going to bed. Parents can be Involved in the School by: * Meeting with a teacher at PTA and maintaining communication with the school staff members to determine the extent of the parent involvement needed. It is essential that parents do volunteer some time for the school activities. They could do so by: * Becoming a student helper and help in organising classroom activities. * Tutoring or reading out to or with the other children. * Assisting and helping the coaches at sporting events. * Helping out the school in holding arts and crafts workshops. * Assisting with a school club or a drama group. * Speaking to the students about professional subjects. * Helping the class in writing small news articles. * Working as a library assistant for a few hours, every month. * Assisting children with special needs. * Helping out in preparation of computer and science projects. * Planning out and helping in raising money for various school clubs. * Accompanying or helping to arrange various field trips for the children. Children of Involved Parents: * Are less frequently absent and don’t skip school. * Are better behaved and are socially more active. * Perform better academically. * Develop better levels of self-confidence. * Have lesser stress-related or anxiety issues.

PARENTING A GIFTED & TALENTED CHILD

Children are much vulnerable to fear as threats, risks and dangers are close at hand. Ask the mother of Taniya (24 months) and she would sadly announce that her child came to know about some ghost story and from that day sleeps with lights switched on. Small children are immature and their understanding of things is raw. They tend to believe whatever they are told and worse than that they add to their own worries by imagining a lot that is impractical. “Children live in an imaginary world, which over the time is replaced by the real world,” says Pooja, who works as a childcare specialist. “Coupled with this fact that the kids have a natural tendency to exaggerate things, it becomes a real problem sometimes to convince the child as what is possible and assure the safety.” Children also derive very simple meanings from their perceptions – whatever they see and whatever they hear. It is either fun or the thing to refrain from. Kids like cartoons because the characters are often funny, yet meaningful to them. After watching a Spiderman show on television, young Aryan actually believes that Spiderman exists and that he can cast a web or swings high on a rope. The toddlers are more scared when someone narrates a horrified version of a telltale or similar story. They may also see or experience a normal event as distorted and reatening. For example a ball hanging in the basket may appear in the poor light as an unusual figure or form. Children may also carry fears about other people, some objects or animals. How Can Mommy Help? Our experts are of the opinion that parents must try not to expose their children to material and content that involves violence, supernatural phenomena, etc. The parents must also refrain from narrating their children ghost stories or any such tales. The mind of a child is very sensitive and it can just hang on to any idea. The mother of the toddler, as the child trusts the mother most, has to assure and convince the child that its safety is taken care of and that the kid must not be afraid of telltales or carry fear of other children or people. Further, the parents must ensure that they get to the root of the problem. A lot of explaining needs to be done and the parents should ensure that they are available and know how to deal with it.

HELPING CHILDREN UNDERSTAND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD

Pampered Child: When to Say “No” to your Child Even before a child is born, the parents are too eager to shower their love and care on the arriving guest. With the newborn in the family, a whole set of transitions takes place. It can be better described as one of the important phases in the lifecycle of a human being. The father and the mother, together they have to provide the child with all they can. As the baby grows, it starts demanding. Children are very intelligent and respond quickly. They learn easily and when it is time to twist then know which way to do it. A child hardly understands the difference between wants, desires and needs. He might ask for Santa Claus, the cycle the kid in the neighbourhood has, new toys and what not. Mrs. Priya says that her youngest kid wants all that the elder ones get and she has a hard time negotiating with the kid. That is one point where some children get spoilt as their parents fail to realize what is needed by the child. When To Say No? “Believe me, it is so awful and strange as my daughter begins to sob, when I say ‘No’ and she does not understand,” says Amrita. “I am myself confused at times as whether her demand is really needed or not.” A child enjoys pampering the most. The baby just feels like giving orders, which should be obeyed and fulfilled by the subjects. Parents also like to pamper their children, but limits have to be drawn. A pampered child might get used to wishes and whims that are easily fulfilled by the parents and other family members. ‘Negotiate and negotiate hard’, that is the best advice you can have on parenting. The child must, even if it appears unacceptable to the child, learn to ask only those things which parents do allow. If the parent says no, then no it means. After negotiations, if the child continues to insist then the parent has to say no and close the chapter as soon as possible. Even a little leniency can make the child feel that it is possible provided he or she keeps insisting. It becomes a habit and then starts affecting the behaviour. Other Methods One parent who has written to us from Pune says that she often negotiates by providing alternates. The child asks for a mobile phone and we settle on comic books. That way the child also gets something worth to have and the parent also manages to grant the wish of the child.

DEALING WITH ANXIETY PROBLEMS

Examination-related Anxiety Anxiety, during examination time, among children of all ages is virtually universal. Except for the very innocent preschoolers, most school students tend to suffer from this problem. However, it isn’t such big a problem as long as it doesn’t reach frightening proportions and starts to affect the child’s performance and his perception of education itself. Understanding the Affects of Anxiety? Anxiety could lead to a host of other problems in students. The most common ones include a bout of sudden headache, some loss of focus, abnormal fears, greater irritability, sudden bursts of anger and acute depression episodes. Stressful conditions can inhibit a student’s ability to retain and recall what he had learnt during an examination. This is primarily because anxiety creates a chemical imbalance in the brain. It has been proven without doubt that anxiety inhibits a child’s cognitive behaviour. This can be further understood by the impact of negative emotions. Anxiety causes the nervous system to function too fast or too lazily and the child’s ability to think clearly is hindered. There are some tips than can be taught by parents to prevent their children from developing anxiety. • Practicing Deep Breathing Most students face exam-related stress and anxiety. When such a moment occurs, try and make them focus off the negative sphere of mind. Make the child breathe deeply by involving the centre of the chest. This exercise can be done during the days prior to a test or just before appearing in a test. • Turn Around Self-questioning Usually when anxiety acts up, students start to think negatively and a lot of ‘What-if’ questions enter their minds. Students should be taught to turn around the negative questions into positive ones. For example, instead of thinking, “What if I can’t remember my notes?” try and tell your child to think, “What if every question comes from what I have learnt? How great would that be?” • Sleeping to be Calmer Examination days usually involve long, extended study sessions. However, parents should make sure that the child catches up on a minimum of seven hours of sleep per day. Sleep deprivation could lead to actually forgetting what one had learnt. • Last-minute Tips Children should be prevented from cramming too much information hours before the examination. Rather than last-minute preparations, parents should focus on keeping sure that their child is calm and revises what he has already learnt.

WHAT IS PEACEFUL PARENTING?

Every Parent’s Nightmare Most of the parent-child conflicts are those centred on daily activities like going to bed or waking up, limitations of going outdoors and school homework. Many parents feel as they are engaged in a constant power struggle with their children. Parents feel frustrated and worn out and the children feel questioned and irritated. In cases of extreme hostility between the two, a child may feel threatened and determined to resist his parents’ wishes. Trouble in the Making A parents’ attempt to control their children through authority could trigger resistance and violence in children. Even if young children react well to parent authority it could be just a case of temporary submission. The resentment, if any, inside the child would surface later when he grows up. This is when parenting turns violent as both the parents and the child try to control each other and there is a general loss of trust and goodwill in the whole family. Authoritative Parenting? Some parents are prone to threatening or using extreme authority over the children. They tend to make many demands and enforce them with punishment or promises. When the child crosses teenage years, such parents usually find themselves involved in a bitter struggle with their child. Even if children aren’t immediately resisting parental demands, parents could still be generating a negative environment every time they attempt to exert supremacy over the children. The Dilemma Most parents want their children to have the characters and the skills which enable them to make the best choices in life. However, they seem to ignore the fact that these skills can’t be developed if a child develops a fear of blame or parental punishment. Anger and resentment is common among children today as they try and fight out the level of parental control exerted on them. These negative feelings of anger and bitterness are sometimes expressed through self-destructive habits that a child develops. Many such children become violent at school, start using abusive behaviour or may get hooked on to bad company and the use of alcohol or even drugs. Finding a Solution Peaceful parenting begins from the time children are toddlers. The child at that age has to be made to realise what is wrong and not acceptable. The best way to make him follow a rule is leading by example. Again, to let him feel empowered, try and make the child responsible for certain household issues when he grows up. This could include taking care of the toolbox or buying the weekly quota of fruits for the family or keeping an eye as to which member of the family has been overspending. This process combines self-realisation and responsibility for the child. These skills help to create children who can embrace understanding and peace and are at ease with the idea of being disciplined and liberated at the same time.

SIGNIFICANCE OF PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE

Need for a Parent-teacher meeting Issues like a child’s speech delay or developing temper-related mannerisms are often discussed at parent-teacher meetings besides the obvious subject of the child’s classroom performance. These are many advantages for a caregiver and a parent to attend a parent-teacher conference. An insight into the psychology of the parents and the ability to evaluate the kind of atmosphere they are providing to the child at home, is of vital importance to a teacher. Parents too need to look beyond their child\’s academic performance and should seek an honest opinion regarding his shortcomings. Understanding the Parent Perspective It becomes vitally important that an open line of communication and responsive relationship is established between the parents and teachers who are attending such a conference. In order to do this, the parents and teachers need to stay in touch via informal conversations over a period of time. During the meet, it is crucial for the teachers and caregivers to be sensitive to the fact that most parents may have a thought process. The caregiver needs to ensure that they establish an open dialogue with the parents with the welfare of the child as its main theme. Even if the teacher has some serious issues with the child, it is imperative to establish a positive tone for the conference before embarking upon the discussion regarding the weaknesses of the child. Holding a Parent-teacher Meeting The teacher should try and arrange the parent-teacher meet at a convenient timing and should begin the meeting with some positive anecdotes about the child. The teacher should try and focus more on the abilities and competencies of the child before discussing his inadequacies. The teacher should try and encourage the parent\’s side of the discussion and their inputs. These contributions by the parents provide valuable insight in evaluating the child’s home environment and the kind of parent support he has. Tackling the Problem If the teacher has a grievance or a specific concern regarding the child’s performance, he should work out a methodology that involves the parents. An involved parent is a key component in sorting out the problems that a child faces. It is important to remember that the child’s upbringing combines a classroom and his home. The emphasis should be on planning a cooperative action plan with an honest follow-up. As the meeting reaches its conclusion, the parents should be encouraged to approach with any further questions or concerns that they might have.

HOW TO HANDLE GIFTED CHILD

Gifted children are indeed gifts for the parents. They make parents feel proud and achieve great success during their lifetime. It is important for parents to clearly understand the proper treatment that these children should receive, for they are often highly sensitive to relations. They are different from the normal children and need considerable attention for their proper development. Who is a gifted child? How are they identified? Gifted children are identified from their behaviour and acts. A gifted child may be a fast learner, very sensitive to feelings and emotions, inquisitive, methodical and deeply involved in subjects from an early age. Sometimes, gifted children are exposed to negative tendencies and may get involved with equal enthusiasm and vigour. Gifted children usually don’t mix up with the kids of their age. Their IQ and mental level may make them misfits in their respective age groups. Therefore, socializing is one of the aspects that need to be properly looked after. In classroom also, such children may feel bored or not interested. This can have impact on their studies. Gifted children may also face problems responding as emotional beings. They may be too sensitive to small issues and may alienate themselves from others. Social alienation is also found to be common problem with the gifted children. The parents should understand the needs of such children and try to avoid any situation, which might excite them more than they can safely handle. Like parents should be careful as not to scold the child or rebuke in public.

CHOOSING A PRESCHOOL

Some parents may assume that a playschool is a lot of fun, filled with the use of crayons and play-pens. The kids and the setting of all preschools may appear very innocent and similar but the kind of a preschool a kid steps into has far-reaching consequences on the child’s growth and development. A preschool lays the foundation for later academic success during formal education. Considerations When Choosing a Preschool (In order to provide an easy overview of some of the basic factors to be considered while choosing a preschool, examples have been quoted by assuming a preschool, called abc preschool for the sake of comparison.) • Credentials — most preschools are privately-owned and managed. Thus, they have the freedom to make their own rules. A defectively-managed preschool, for example, abc preschool employs teachers that don’t have the essential Early Childhood Educational qualifications. Now, compare this with a reputed preschool like Shemrock. Every staff member there is well-qualified and experienced. Parents should check out a preschool’s accreditations and certifications. • Time Schedule — this is something that parents often overlook as they can’t differentiate between a day care facility and a preschool. Day care centres often provide extended hours for taking care of kids, especially for working parents. However, a neighbourhood preschool, for example, abc preschool may offer shorter but more planned activities for the kids. Thus, the parents have to consider their personal schedule and the nature of preschool education they would prefer for their children. • Discipline — the most integral part of preschooling is introducing the children to the concept of discipline. This is where preschool policies become very crucial. The parents have to be beware of schools with very a very liberal outlook towards teacher authority. For example, a preschool, abc preschool insists upon scolding the children harshly or punishing them severely for the slightest of mistakes. Does it make sense to introduce your kids to such an extreme form of authority, so early in their lives? • On the other hand, a reputed preschool like Shemrock helps the children to make this transition into education and disciplining easy, by delving into child psychology and sorting out the emotional aspect of child behaviour. • Nutrition — one very important aspect of any good quality preschool is the kind of meals/food provided to the children. Some neighbourhood preschools may insist upon feeding the children tasty but unhealthy/fast-food/sugar-loaded kind-of-meals. Whereas, prestigious preschools like Shemrock have personal nutritionists to make sure that kids are provided healthy, tasty and wholesome meals. • School Safety — a close-by or neighbourhood preschool may be very convenient, but it could be compromising on the safety facet of a child. The security aspect is a very comprehensive concept and includes security in terms of the construction, infrastructure, transportation and even accessibility to the preschool campus by strangers.

CHILD’S FIRST STEPS

Educators in India agree that formal education should ideally begin at the age of five. This is also the pattern followed and accepted across the nation. However, with many schools operating their own nursery grades, the definition of the term ‘formal’ education has been slightly altered. Generally, parents prefer that children start their education at the age of five, though there is a scope for some leverage in different parts of the country. However, rather than being obsessed about the age at which children start school in India, parents should also address issues like — • Good Preschooling • Helping the Child Start School Preschooling As the terms suggests, preschool is all about making a child prepared for his formal education. A child graduating from a preschool has better cognitive and learning skills and can easily adapt to the setting of a structured schooling programme. Skills taught at a preschool are essential before the beginning of statutory education. Preschool is addressed by different names. A preschool could be called a playschool, day-care, pre-primary, pre-nursery or kindergarten. Young parents are prone to be concerned about the age at which children should start school India, but they should first take care of the preschooling aspect as this gives the child a structured foundation for further learning. The basic skills developed at this age last throughout a child’s life. Helping the Child Start School Most children find it difficult to acclimatize themselves to the proper classroom setting of a school. This is because the environment in a school isn’t as liberal and fun-focussed as that of a preschool. Thus, once the parents are through with the headache of gaining admission to a good school and the anxiety pangs of the correct age at which children start school in India have subsided, they should concentrate on helping the child with getting ready for school. Some tips for parents have been listed below – • All the supplies mentioned by the school including things like books, school bag, crayons, etc. should be bought beforehand. • For the sake of the child’s safety and to make easier for others to guide him/her in the school premises, make sure that some of the items like the child’s clothing, lunch box, etc. are labelled with the child’s name/class/section. • The child should be made aware about the commuting plan, inclusive of the drop-off and pick-up details. • The parents should also prepare a hand-out for the school teacher or nurse, in case the child depends on particular medications. The night before the first day at school is very important for the child. Most children are very apprehensive and may ask a number of questions. The parents should — • Discuss the most probable morning routine with the child, including things like bath-time/bed-time/waking-up. Make the child aware that sticking to the schedule is necessary. • Try and talk to the child about the things that should be expected on the first day at school.

MAKING PLAYSCHOOL SEARCH EASY

More and more people are turning towards the internet in order to search for information regarding the various preschool options. However, few of them are able to get the desired information. Yes, the perfect webpage to answer all your queries regarding the preschool is out there! The problem lies in the method of searching employed by the people. Most parents tend to use a search engine when searching for such information. They usually type a few words in the Query Box and then start scrolling through all the possible matches the search page displays. Search Phrase Usually, the words chosen to conduct the search play a very crucial role in finding the best-possible results. Typing in a vague phrase like — admission in playschool + kidzee, will lead to many off-target web pages that don’t deal with the required information. In fact, on most search engines, this phrase would list various websites that contain some articles/information related to Kidzee. This is because search engines are unable to decipher as to what is the exact nature of the query, from such a search phrase. The search phrase — ‘admission in playschool + kidzee’ could be interpreted as information sought related to: 1. Admissions in Kidzee 2. Some general information about Kidzee 3. What things should parents check out when seeking admissions for their child in a playschool? or 4. What are the issues related to admission in a playschool. Neither does conducting search with the term — admission in playschool + kidzee, lead to the main website of Kidzee. This is because the search term itself is too generic. The solution to this confusion is rather easy. • If a parent is seeking information about admission in Kidzee, then the search term has to be more specific like — admission in kidzee or “admission” kidzee. Both these search terms essentially lead to the main website of Kidzee, providing the necessary information on the page related to admissions. • However, if the parents are searching for information regarding issues like the appropriate age, things to check-out, etc. for admission to playschools, they could key in the phrase — admission in playschool — in the Search Box. After having gone through the articles/information related to playschool admissions, the parents could then seek further information regarding the playschool of their choice by typing in the name of the playschool in the search box, which would invariably lead to the main website of that playschool.

ONLINE SEARCHING FOR PRESCHOOLS

There are various methods of searching for the best-suited preschool for your child. Some parents make such decisions based the various forms of advertising that are used in the media, while some depend upon the feedback they receive from parents who already have children enrolled in a preschool. Many parents use the online option when searching for a preschool for their child. A common method of searching about a particular brand of preschool in Delhi is to type-in the name of the school, preceded by the main nature of the enquiry and lastly, the location is typed in. For example, keying in a search phrase like — admission age mother’s pride new Delhi — will initially list websites that are directly related to Mother’s Pride, followed by other websites that would be attuned to subjects like, the age for admission, perfect age for admission and even listings of websites highlighting the term ‘New Delhi’. Thus, it becomes apparent that the search term — admission age mother’s pride new delhi — doesn’t list the websites that provide the accurate and sought after information. So, what is the best approach towards making an online search for a parent? A Better Alternative The best and perhaps the easiest way to go about searching for information related to any preschool is to visit the main website of that particular preschool. Thus, instead of typing-in — admission age mother’s pride new delhi, a better option would be to type-in the brand of preschool or the preschool name, followed by a comma, followed by the city/location of your preference. For example, a search term like — mother\’s pride, new delhi or shemrock, new delhi would invariably bring you to that preschool’s main website. Now, the parents can not only checkout the various locations/availability of that preschool in New Delhi but also get a better idea about the activities and facilities that are provided by the preschool and any new changes in the curriculum/certification/affiliation that the preschool has incorporated. Further parents would realise that the availability of some facilities might vary from branch-to-branch. Most of the main websites of preschools are very informative in this regard. For example, Shemrock’s main website lists every kind of information that would be sought by a parent including — • Admission information • Activities and facilities • The education system at shemrock • Contact details • Resources for Parents and even • A Franchise Section Buzz up!

ARE YOU AN OBSESSIVE PARENT?

Overparenting is sometimes also called hyper-parenting. Both the terms signify the same thing — a wrong parenting style. It refers to a parenting style in which parents are overly-involved with their children. Such parents are often seen fighting at the school games or arguing with the school-coach because they felt that their kid was undermined in some way. Such parents are overly competitive and would go to the extent of writing and doing their child’s homework and assignments. A small drop in the child’s test scores is equivalent of the world ending for them. Hyperparenting is not limited to the big cities only. Over-ambitious parents are found in small towns and rural areas also. Basically, such parents are over-involved, over-controlling, too demanding and obsessive. Concerned Parenting versus Hyperparenting It is not uncommon to find parents who are very concerned about their child. The increasing stress in our daily lives and the ever-growing ambitions and frustrations of the parents often leads to a tendency of being preoccupied with the achievements and performance of one’s child. Many such parents feel that succeeding in every subject and every sphere of activity at school is an absolute necessity. They begin to associate the child’s success as their own. Concerned parenting is essential for being good parents, but when the concern of a parent turns into a fixation, it turns into something ugly — hyperparenting. Seeking Perfection An obsessive parent can be understood as someone who seeks perfection. This perfection should be reflected in both individual output as a capable parent and his child’s performance in terms of being a perfect student, an outperformer. Such parents are very determined to make every possible sacrifice for their child’s education. They begin to micromanage every aspect of the child’s life including social and academic aspects. Children of Over-involved Parents • Such obsessive parents don’t allow the child to take any independent decision. Thus, the children develop little self-confidence. The 24×7 scheduling and analysis done by the parents makes the child vulnerable to be acutely self-critical. • Children of such parents might also develop trust issues. They could start believing that the parent doesn’t trust them at all. Usually such children grow into over-dependent, hypercritical and untrusting individuals.

DEALING WITH TEMPER TANTRUMS

This is because of a very simple cause — children are just too young to be able to modulate or alter their emotions. They cannot exercise the same level of control as parents. Two-to-four-year-olds try to express their frustration via these angry outbursts. Children this age can’t express their needs or feelings to their parents or caregivers and tend to develop a kind of nervous energy, i.e. anxiety or anger. Adults too have the tendency of temper outbursts but they can usually control their frequency or the acuteness of such emotional outbreaks. Parents could follow a few tips in order to take control when their children present such situations. • Staying Calm The very first and most elementary of advices while handling an angry, irritated child is for the parents to stay calm and composed. The parents should acknowledge the child’s feelings which could be either of frustration, boredom or tiredness. They shouldn’t engage the child in a long conversation regarding how he feels. Rather parents should keep the dialogue short and communicate to the child that they are willing to help. It is advisable, when handling irritated toddlers, to have some of distraction distract the child. Parents could try and use some treat like his favourite chocolate shake to calm the child. • The Wiser Approach No matter how helpless the parents feel themselves, they shouldn’t reward a child’s repeated tantrum with too much attention. The idea behind is that the child shouldn’t start believing behaving angrily is just an easy way to garner the parent’s attraction or an easy treat. Secondly, the parents are a child’s perspective of what is good. Thus, the parents themselves can’t behave inappropriately. Sometimes neither of the above-mentioned steps seems to work and then the parents have only option, i.e. to leave the child alone. How to Avoid Tantrums? Tantrums are a sign of a child’s anger, frustration or something that is making the child very uncomfortable. In this context, it is important to realise what is the child’s tolerance level. The parents should work upon it and try and raise his level of tolerance against stressful situations and train him to be a calmer and more confident individual. One easy way of doing this is complimenting and rewarding the child’s good behaviour.

FOUR STEPS TO EFFECTIVE PARENTING

Parents should use all or a combination of these four basic ways to tackle child-related problems. Raising the Child’s Self-Esteem • Small things like a parent’s tone of voice, the usual body language and facial expressions make an impact on the child. Such things affect the child’s perspective of the world around him and play a major role in developing his personality. • Praising the smallest of child’s achievements however small they may be would improve his self-confidence and make him more confident of his abilities. This feeling of personal pride eventually reflects in the form of raised self-esteem. On the contrary, disparaging remarks and comments or constant comparison and negative speech makes the child feel worthless and look down upon himself. • When the child makes a mistake and it is apparent that he feels bad about it, don’t try and scold him or make him feel even more guilty of himself. This would induce the fear of making mistakes and make him prone to developing self-conflicting issues. Are you an Escapist? Some parents are guilty of venting out their frustrations or anger by shouting or being hyper-critical about the child. This kind of a negative parenting attitude makes the child feel unwanted. The child shouldn’t become an escape mechanism for the parents. The parents need to deal with their own set of problems and make sure that the child’s innocence is not hampered by their own disappointments in life. The children shouldn’t be used as a tool for achieving what a parent failed to do so himself/herself. The child’s ambition and freedom should be give priority. Discipline isn’t a Choice • The main purpose of disciplining the child is to make sure that he develops the right set of moral values, attitude, aptitude and manners. Children themselves are unable to identify the need for rules and regulations but it is the responsibility of the parent to make sure that the child isn’t getting away with too many liberties. An excess of freedom at one point in childhood could backfire as the child develops a mind of his own and doesn’t respect the opinion of his parents anymore. • Rules aren’t just for the child. The parents should be sincere enough to present themselves as good role models. Once this is established, the child has practically no excuse to break the house rules or consistently disobey his parents. Make Time for Your Children • Modern lives are very busy and it is difficult for parents and children to do simple things together like having a family meal but such simple family activities are essential and from the basis for parent-child bonding. • Parents can created a ‘special night’ every two weeks to get together and let the children decide what TV programme or movie they want to watch. • Parents who can’t meet their children in the morning could put a note in the child’s study room or in the kitchen with a few words of encouragement written on it. • Parents should look out for opportunities like attending the school concerts and games to make the child feel special and appreciated.

MAKING YOUR CHILD IMMUNE

At the time of birth infants have an in-built protection against a number of diseases because of the large number of antibodies that pass through the placenta from the mother’s womb to the child. Breast-fed babies continue to get the same benefits due to the numerous antibodies found in breast milk. However, these antibodies can’t guarantee protection against every disease and this is why vaccination is needed. Vaccines are used to increase the strength of the child’s immune system. Some vaccines do cause mild side effects including soreness at the point of the injection but these aren’t serious when compared to the effects of the deadly diseases they protect against. Commonly-recommended Vaccinations for Children  • DTP, i.e. diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. • IPV for polio. • Influenza • MMR, i.e. measles, mumps and rubella. • Chickenpox • Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B DTP Vaccine • Diphtheria — it is a very serious infection of the throat that can block the air passage. This causes severe breathing difficulties in children. • Tetanus or lockjaw — this is a very serious nerve disease. It can occur at any age and is caused by toxin-producing bacteria that are found in common wounds. • Pertussis or whooping cough — it is a common respiratory illness and has cold-like symptoms. This leads to severe coughing or a ‘whooping’ sound. This sound occurs because the child breathes deeply after the coughing bouts. The complications of pertussis occur in children under the age of one and those under the age of 6 months are very susceptible. • Why is the Vaccine Recommended? The vaccine has been so successful that it has virtually eliminated diphtheria and tetanus among children. IPV-Polio • Polio begins as a viral infection that could eventually lead to permanent paralysis in children. • Immunization Schedule — the immunization schedule includes giving the poliovirus vaccine or IPV at different stages, i.e. at the ages of 2 months, 4 months, 6 to 18 months and then between 4 to 6 years. • Why is the Vaccine Recommended? Protection against polio occurs in more than 95% of children immunized. Influenza Vaccine • Influenza is commonly referred to as the flu and is a contagious viral infection of the respiratory airway. Contracting this disease could prove fatal for the children. • Immunization Schedule — the flu shot is given in a fixed schedule which includes shots when the child is 6 – 59 months old. For kids below the age of nine, two separate shots are given at an interval of a month. • Why is the Vaccine Recommended? The flu vaccine isn’t completely effective but it reduces the person’s chances of contracting flu by nearly 80%. Getting a shot, gives the body some sort of immunity against the virus. MMR Vaccine • The MMR vaccine immunizes against measles, mumps and the deadly rubella virus. • Immunization Schedule — the MMR vaccinations are delivered in two separate doses. The first does is administered between the age of 12 – 15 months and the second between 4 to 6 years. • Why is the Vaccine Recommended? Measles, mumps and rubella are infections which later lead to many complicated illness. The vaccine is extremely effective in protecting the child. Varicella or the Chickenpox Vaccine • The varicella vaccine helps to protect against chickenpox — a common and very contagious viral illness. • Immunization Schedule — the vaccine is given by injection between the age of 12 to 18 months. • Why is the Vaccine Recommended? The vaccine is effective enough to prevent severe illness in nearly 95% of children who get immunized in time. Hepatitis A Vaccine • The hepatitis A virus or the HAV causes a number of symptoms which usually occur together. These include fever, nausea, vomiting and jaundice. If not controlled, the infection can spread and cause an epidemic. • Immunization Schedule — the vaccine is ideally administered to children 12 to 23 months old. A second dose follows, 6 months later. • Why is the Vaccine Recommended? Vaccination against HAV is vital because even infected children many not have any of the above symptoms for a long period. This is a life-saving vaccine. Hepatitis B Vaccine • Hepatitis B virus or the HBV affects the liver. The infected child becomes a lifelong carrier of the virus. This leads to problems like cirrhosis or degeneration the liver or liver cancer. • Immunization Schedule — this vaccine is given in a set of three injections. The first shot is given to infants, just after birth. The second shot is administered between the age of 1 – 4 months and the third at the age of 6 to 18 months. • Why is the Vaccine Recommended? The hepatitis B vaccine has been very successful and gives extended immunity to the child. This kind of immunity carries from childhood to adulthood. This decreases the risk of getting any kind of chronic liver disease.

PARENTING AGAINST CHILD ABDUCTIONS

A Reality Check for Parents One really difficult challenge that is faced by each parent, especially those with really young children, is teaching the children to be cautious when outside the safety of home. The reality about most child abductions is different from the dramatic way in which they are portrayed on TV. These are some of the realities regarding child abductions — • A majority of children reported missing are those who have either run away from home or there is a misunderstanding with the parents about where they were supposed to be. • The majority of children are abducted or kidnapped by someone familiar or a far-away family member or some family acquaintance. Only 25% of kids are kidnapped by absolute strangers. • Most children are kidnapped by men and most abductions involve female children. • Mostly teenaged children are abducted. • Children are seldom abducted from the school premises. Strategies to Fight Child Abductions • The parents should keep ID-like updated photographs of their children, i.e. get them clicked every six months. Getting the children fingerprinted is an excellent idea. These two measures serve as a big assistance to the local police department in case the child is reported missing. • Being careful about online safety. The internet is a big help to everyone but in the case of kids it is a breeding ground for sexual predators stalking them. Parents should keep a tract of the child’s chat room interests, e-mail friends and the sites often visited. Make sure that that the child never gives out personal information. Children should avoid posting their photos on adult-themed sites. • Supervise the children in crowded places like malls, markets, movie halls, parks and public bathrooms. • Never leave a child alone in the car, even for a few minutes. For a serial kidnapper, it takes barely 3 to 4 minutes to abduct a child aged between 4 and 7. • Choosing the child’s caregivers – parents should keep a keen eye of the people with whom the child interacts including babysitters, neighbourhood friends, day-care providers and nannies. Check out references of domestic helps before hiring them. • If someone else is scheduled to pick-up the child from the school or childcare centre, explain the arrangements of travelling and being picked up to the child. Ask the child not to deviate from the instructions, no matter what. • Don’t dress children with name tags — children tend to easily trust adults who address them with their real names. • Make some ground rules for children. Instruct them to never to hold hands or talk with a stranger. If a stranger tries to touch them, the children should scream out loud. Such precautions have to be instilled in the children by the parents.

RAISING RESPONSIBLE CHILDREN

Parents face a problem of sharing time with their children. Fewer hours spent with a child translates into lesser ability to understand and comprehend the issues faced by the children. Children feel isolated and thus start taking more independent decisions. This excess of liberty eventually means that they have an increased tendency to disobey their peers and parents. Media’s Role The vacuum created by the parents has been filled in by the satellite channels, television stations, magazines and radio stations. Children are turning to this medium to use it as a guiding tool to make their decisions. There has been a sudden explosion of violence, gore and showcase of self-righteous celebrities on television. This has made the children more antisocial and aggressive and moral values are being lost. Coping with the Challenge Parents should make a planned effort to raise responsible children. The parents have to understand the importance of finding a more flexible parental approach and avoid any extremes. Parenting has to be a balancing act between a number of emotions and issues like— • Balancing Control and Affection The children respond better to parents who can balance affection with some level of parental authority. The affection has to be in the form of love and warmth and quality family time. But it should be accompanied with an appropriate level of parental control. The parents have to limit the children from taking undue advantage of their liberties. Parents should use their own example as a guiding plan to help the children when they are in distress. This kind of balance ensures scope for individual development and increased self-esteem in the child without compromising on the respect for parents. • Balancing Family Time Toddlers do need a lot of time and physical affection. As the children grow, such needs become less. But parents shouldn’t abstain from praising their children. Children who have some kind of regular positive interaction with parents or have access to quality parent time are more confident and perform better, academically. Just talking with the child about his school day or games can help strengthen the parent-child relationship. However , spending time with children shouldn’t mean giving into every whim and fancy of the child or let the child blabber on, without putting up a decent argument.

TALKING TO YOUR CHILD’S DOCTOR

The child’s doctor is often not given his due importance by parents. Usually the doctors are overscheduled and finding enough time just to meet them seems like an arduous task to most parents. However, effective communication with the family doctor or the specialist taking care on one’s child could have a lot of advantages, especially when trying to find out what is best for the child’s health and getting an insight into the way a child thinks or any secrets that the child may be keeping from his parents. Doctor-Parent Relationship Health information is more readily available than before and parents keep themselves informed via the internet, books and TV. This is a welcome change, because now parents can contribute in their child’s healthcare. However, the parents might do too much of their own thinking and get hooked on to misplaced health information. Parents shouldn’t question the authority of the doctor based upon such information. However, they should ask the doctor about the purpose of a medication or a health plan he has prescribed for the child. Another common problem that parents have with the child’s doctor is their own unwillingness to trust the doctor’s diagnosis. Such hypochondriac parents may seek expensive or high-strength drugs for common ailments of their child and may start arguing with the doctor. Communicating with the Doctor For better communication with the child’s doctor, the parents should be clear about what to expect from the doctor. A concerned but informed parent should look upon a doctor to • Help in monitoring the child’s health. • Explain the child’s growth and development patterns – physical and emotional. • Diagnose and treat the child’s illnesses and devise a health regimen for the child. • Explain the child’s illnesses and the course of treatment including the precautions. • Provide referrals for specialists in case of specific symptoms or major illnesses. Some pointers for parents — • The doctor should feel that the parents actually trust him with their child’s health. It isn’t a wide decision to argue with the doctor for each of his decisions or diagnoses. Developing and maintaining this parent-doctor trust is very critical. • When the doctor asks about the child’s health, the parents should explain the actual and not ‘supposed’ concerns, specifically and clearly. • Parents should tell the doctor about any abnormal symptom the child has shown or drastic changes in the family life like parent’s divorce or death in the family.

TIME-OUTS OR TEMPERAMENTAL PARENTING?

Time-out is basically a disciplining strategy that can be employed by parents. Here, the child is asked to spend a few moments, usually 4 to 7 minutes, alone in a room. He is asked not to play or talk but rather think about what he/she has done wrong and why the punishment is being handed out. This is a form of self-realisation and a mild disciplining tool. Time-outs can be very effective as a non-violent and not-too-harsh punishment. The fear of hurting the child is eliminated. The concept is based on evoking the feelings of guilt to make the child realise his mistake. Temperamental Parenting? Many parents have realised that time-outs don’t work for their child. This is because of different individual temperaments. Temperament-based parenting doesn’t insist upon using time-outs. Every child is unique and has a different personality. Temperamental parenting is able to solve some child-related problems that time-outs don’t seem to. Stuck with Time-outs? Repetitive behavioural pattern isn’t solved by using repetitive time-outs. These can easily frustrate a parent as they occur often and a similar punishment, i.e. using a time-out doesn’t solve the problem. If a child consistently fails to bring home the things needed to do an assignment, the parents are left feeling helpless. A repetitive time-out pattern could make the child lose confidence in the parent’s capabilities. Temperament-based Parenting Strategies Temperament-based strategy encourages the parents to develop a plan which is communicated to the child. The plan includes a signal or verbal reminder as the primary step. In cases of non-compliance, taking away a privilege from the child is recommended. If the misbehaviour still continues more privileges including allowances and playtime are taken away. Main Principles of Temperamental Parenting • Temperament also involves the intrinsic parts of a child’s behaviour pattern. • Many temperament responses are obvious because they manifest due to a child’s behaviour. • Temperament is more apparent in circumstances that involve a sudden change or stress. Challenging situations elicit more honest temperamental responses. • Task persistence is nothing else but a child’s tendency to stick with a task until it’s done. • Negative reaction is because of the child’s inability to make suitable judgements. • Temperament doesn’t change easily and quickly. • Approach and withdrawal are the child’s first reaction to new situations.

RECOGNIZING LEARNING & THINKING STYLES

Most individuals, including children, tend to develop a preference for one kind of learning style over another. The vast majority of children respond better to the visual path of teaching. The second most preferred medium of instruction is auditory. People usually use a combination of visual and auditory modes to impart education. However, it is necessary to recognise what kind of learning inclination or style does the child have which in turn is a direct reflection of his way of thinking. Your Child has Learning Difficulties? Difficulties usually arise when a child’s preferred educational mode of instruction gets blocked. For example, a child may be suffering from visual problems like focusing on what is being instructed or he has problems in the eye-brain pathway. Again, a child who depends heavily on hearing something to be interested in it may be suffering from some kind of an auditory problem. It is advisable to make sure that the child isn’t facing any of such issues. Verbal or Visual Learning? Children could also have a learning style that could be mainly described as being verbal which means that they have a thought processes that takes place in the verbal domain or they could have a principally visual mode of learning which means that their thought processes mainly functions in the pictorial representation format. Those with a verbal style of learning tend to react better to lesson being read out aloud in the classroom. Those with a more visual mode will react better to detailed illustrations and drawings that accompany text. Such students are much better at observations and drawing inferences. A visual learner is a student who learns much better well from a stimulus presented to him, invariably a stimulus which can be seen, not just instructed or ‘told’ to him. This kind of a student learns more by looking around and observing his surroundings. Individual Preferences There are other factors which contribute to a complete assessment of an individual’s preferred style of learning. Such factors are the actual, conscious and voluntary choices of a student or any learner. Some children may prefer the independent way of studying, i.e. without the company of some friends or classmates while some vs. are dependent learners, i.e. when asked to study alone they tend to get anxious by the mere feeling of being alone in a study room. Buzz up!

READING TO CHILDREN

Reading aloud to children is the most fundamental aspect of nurturing a young, growing reader. Reading aloud is very beneficial for children, especially the really young ones. By listening to stories, a sense of curiosity regarding reading and books is created within them. A child whose home environment includes listening to well-read, animated stories is likely to develop an affinity for creativity, reading and in general for books. Where to Read? Try and locate natural and interesting reading spots like under a tree or at a nearby park. Inside the home, try and read to the child before bedtime. In the child’s room by spreading a soft cushion on the floor. In the backseat of the parked family car. When to Read? Start as early as possible. Reading aloud helps to quieten a weeping baby and to entertain a gloomy one. Continue to read aloud even after the child has learnt to read himself. There are always words and parts of the text he won’t be able to comprehend and there the parent’s involvement again becomes very important. Special time should be set aside, every day, to read out for the children. This could be just before naptime or at bedtime. During times of family visits, for example at a family breakfast, at the grandparent’s place. During daily household chores. The child could be asked to read when the parents are cleaning the dishes. The child could be asked to read from the morning newspaper, while the parents are having their breakfast. A child\’s reactions have to be judged. Children getting restless when being read to, mean they are losing interest. Try and evaluate if the settings of the reading place are affecting his interest levels. What to Read? There is a wide choice available to a parent. Special children books are available. Other sources include magazines and newspapers. Parents could also include on-the-spot reading like that of road signs, menus and catalogues and billboards. There are many rhymes and songs especially meant for children. Children love to hear and swing to rhythmic poems and even jingles. Young children also enjoy picture books accompanied with stories and colourful illustrations. Parents have a wide range of selections and it is necessary to keep introducing new themes and characters to keep the young readers engrossed. Newspapers also offer a lot of stuff that can be used for slightly elder children. These include choosing articles with smaller sentences. Being flexible is necessary. If the child doesn\’t enjoy the book being read, it makes sense for the parent not to be stubborn and try some new reading material.

DEVELOPING A FAMILY LIBRARY

A home library doesn’t need to be very elaborate or costly to impress upon a child. Fancy and expensive books needn’t necessarily be the only way to capture a child’s imagination. A family should have the suitable reading material, presented in the right manner so that approaching the library and reading becomes easier for the child. Setting up a Library It is not the size of a home library but its location and appearance that is more significant. Simply, a corner of a room with lots of bookshelves, some comfortable seated furniture and good artificial and natural lighting are the prime requisites. Size of the Library The size would vary according to the number of books which are stored or placed in the library. The special interest and fondness of each family member should be taken care of and the library should be arranged in such a way that there is enough space for books pertaining to each kind of liking expressed by the family members. For children, books should be stocked in terms of present and further reading material and the library should be big enough to comfortably choose and browse through the books they are fond of. Display of the Library There is a wide range of objects which can be manipulated or used to build up a family library. These include new or used bookcases with some built-in shelves and even open magazine racks. These provide an easy-to-approach display for the books which is essential to attract a child. The reading material for children should be placed on the lowest of shelves. Children books should be grouped together and some other interesting reference books should be placed next to them, just to fire the curiosity of the child. Making Small Family Libraries Other common things that can be used to create a rather small family library include, • Cinder-block Bookshelves — cinder blocks, small decorated bricks or particle-board shelves can be found at any hardware store. These blocks can be arranged on top of each other and then a shelf can be placed on them, giving it a bookshelf-like appearance. • Crate Bookcases— these are perfect for stacking children’s books. Plastic crates are available in varying sizes in most departmental stores. The child can be asked to paint and decorate the crate. These make very durable, cheap and easy-to-maintain bookshelves.

OBSERVING CHILDREN (4 TO 5) GROW

Human development is a continuous process and begins very early in the human life. Every individual, from the time of birth, undergoes physical, behavioural and emotional changes. Similarly, children in the age group of four-to-five, have specific developmental changes and any deviation from them should be checked out with the family doctor. Recognising Physical Development in Children For children in the age group of four-to-five there are some normal physical developmental characteristics that a parent needs to know. • Children in this age group grow at a slower rate than infants and toddlers. Usually their body organs grow faster than the body. This usually gives the preschoolers a rounded-tummy appearance. • Their height should at least 50 percent of their adult height and the body weight should be 20 percent of the adult body weight by the age of five. • Most children at this age develop their motor skills and can skip, run and climb. • Most of trained preschoolers are able to tie their shoelaces, buttons and draw rough but recognizable figures. • Have an increased lung capacity and develop the tendency to breathe more deeply. • Most of these children have lost or are in the process of losing their ‘baby look’ as the limbs grow longer. • Children of this age group will look about the same size — regardless of the gender. • There is a remarkable increase in the overall physical condition and some resistance to germs and repeated infections is also present. However, such developing immunity is very subjective among preschoolers and may vary with each of them. Cognitive Development in Children Aged 4 to 5 • They interrelate with and learn more about their surroundings much better through playful activities rather than being taught or instructed. • They start to realise their home and family members through exploration and inquisitiveness. • Begin to show signs of more affection for a particular family member or a caregiver. • Start to follow and understand basic rules — the first signs of accepting authority. • Understand and start of follow regular activities like brushing their teeth and washing hands. Emotional Development in Children Aged 4 to 5 • They do rely on caregivers but don’t need constant physical contact like toddlers. • They continue to express emotions and begin to return hugs, kisses and respond very physically to people. • Begin to develop affinity for certain children of their age group — a precursor of their tendency to start recognising preferences and developing relationships. • Learn to recognize foods that don’t taste good and start to associate with smells of foods they don\’t like.

HELPING KIDS WITH GRADE TRANSITIONS

Transition Time for Preschoolers and Elementary Students Children progress through many grades during their school days and they face many challenges. Changing academic demands make some students very jittery and they find it difficult to deal with the emotional changes. Educators have identified certain transition points in a child’s school life which are predominantly demanding and the children usually need emotional support when faced with these challenges — physical, emotional, social and academic. Preschool, elementary and upper elementary are the very first of the transitions that a child is faced with. Preschool Transition Physical/Emotional Challenges — for most children, preschool is an introduction to conducting themselves without the presence of their parents. Children begin to realise the very concept of discipline and manners. Social Challenges — toddlers at a preschool have to conduct their activities together and develop friendships with each other. Academic Challenges — preschoolers develop listening, basic reading and recalling skills and paying attention. Early Elementary Transition Physical/Emotional Challenges — transition to a grade school means attending bigger classrooms and longer school days, i.e. extended separation from parents and the usual caregivers. The students have to adjust to the concept of daily time tables and a routine life. Completion of assignments becomes essential. Social Challenges — children form much more comprehensive friendships as compared to preschool and develop their first set of ‘best’ friends. Academic Challenges — children are introduced to basic reading and mathematical calculations. They learn how to read and make an effort to understand the meaning of words. They begin to identify with the characters in stories. Upper Elementary School Physical/Emotional Challenges — in the elementary grades, more independence is handed over to the children. Different personalities of the students begin to emerge and their different aptitudes are more apparent. Social Challenges — children try and expand friendships and begin to work in cooperation with each other and tend to get more comfortable in once particular kind of social circle. Academic Challenges — the mere acquisition of basic skills becomes redundant. Now, children are expected to be able to use basic skills to acquire information and solve problems, to be competent in reading comprehension and writing skills.

HELPING YOUR CHILD WITH HOMEWORK

Letting the Child Know About the Importance of Homework If a child is watching TV beyond the regular, stipulated hours – tell him so and discourage the child to do such an act again. Make sure that the child is not making casual telephone calls during the homework time. But a call to a classmate about an assignment should be acceptable. Children need to realise that the family members too agree with the importance of completing assignments. If the family has to occasionally let go of an outing or a visit to the mall to accommodate homework time, they should do so. This reminds the child of the small sacrifices the family is making for his education. Setting up a Schedule The child should be used to a regular time to complete his homework. This helps a child to finish assignments in time and still have enough time to play. A good study schedule should work for the child and the family. A schedule that works well in one family unit may not work in another. Making the child complete the homework just before bedtime is always a bad idea. This decreases the probability of the child recognizing its importance. Other activities including playing a sport or getting music lessons too should be flexible with respect to the homework schedule. If sometimes there isn’t enough time to finish assignments, the child shouldn’t mind cancelling out one of the outside activities. Creating the Right Environment One of the most important requirements for studying at home is the right place to study. Make sure that the study area isn’t too fanciful. Placing a simple desk and chair in a quiet place is usually good enough. The place should be well lit, preferably with a good amount of natural light and ventilation and should be away from distractions like television or music. Removing Distractions Some children tend to study better with quiet surroundings. This should not be associated with a weak concentration level. Similarly, some children react better to learning with the music being played. Again, this shouldn’t be treated as being stubborn or being distracted. These tendencies are in-built and shouldn’t be argued with or squashed just because they may seem unreasonable to a parent. Getting the Child Involved Simple resources like a pencil, pen, paper and supplies of glue and scissors should be kept handy. Try and shop for such goods with the child. The child begins to associate the importance of homework and the ‘fun’ quotient of doing schoolwork is increased when he shops for his favourite geometry set or the latest brand of coloured pencils.

HELPING YOUR CHILD TO READ

Getting a child to love reading or helping reluctant young readers is a challenge faced by most parents. Kids do learn reading skills at school but developing reading as a habit and associating pleasure with reading is best inculcated in children by the parents. Get them Started One of the easiest and the most effective way to encourage children to start reading is by getting them interested in what the book holds. This is best done by reading aloud their favourite poems or the latest comic books. Once a child gets hooked on to a few characters, his own curiosity would take care of him getting genuinely interested in reading. For this, the parents need to start off early. Even a toddler can see pictures and react to them if the parent is holding the book and helps the child associate each picture with a sound or an exaggerated expression. This kind of reading time should be planned without the distraction of a TV or the mobile phones ringing. Once a child develops a particular interest, ask him to read a few pages to you. This helps to develop the child’s confidence and elocution and public speech talents. Further, the parents can act as the audience and make sure that the child reads and pronounces the words correctly. A Reading Stimulus Simple tricks like always having books and magazines around the house is a good way to make the child realise that books are an essential and commonly-found article in the house. Sooner or later, the child is bound to be fascinated by some particular theme or characters in some magazine or book. It is a smart idea to start a small, well-kept home library for children where then can sit and read and even borrow books for their friends. Allowing little children to touch or smell and even hold books can make them feel associated with books. For this purpose, parents should think about getting durable books and pick paperbacks or plastic-covered books for smaller kids. When reading out aloud, choose books that the child prefers. There numerous children\’s books and selecting the best among them is a formidable task. It is better to take the children to book fairs or bookshops and let them make a choice for themselves. However, if the children are of school-going age, they should be encouraged to visit the school library. Parents should talk to them about the purpose of a library and encourage children to get books issued from their school library.

REASONS FOR THE ONLY CHILD

The most recent parenting trend, at least in the urban centres is opting to have just one child. Thus, more urban children are becoming the only child. The second child is often not wanted in preference to have better careers or the reluctance of women to undergo motherhood twice or financial limitations. Some people actually believe that a single child has a much higher chance of being successful in life as he would be getting the undivided attention of his parents and the maximum parental and family support. The Challenge However, contrary to the common belief that bringing up the only child or the sole child has many challenges and parenting issues related to it. Besides the obvious problem of keeping the sole child busy in a nuclear family set-up, there are many other issues too. • Problem — a single child is becomes the centre of all the parental attention and hence the family expectations from the child are usually high. There is a tremendous pressure on the sole child to be very successful in school and in life. Solution — the parents should learn to tone down their expectations and be more realistic in their approach towards the child. The very thinking that they have made a huge sacrifice by having just one child is rather regressive. Single-child parenting is a choice that the parents make themselves. • Problem — there is always the possibility of the only child being pampered by the parents. This pampering or overindulgence sometimes spreads over to the grandparents also. This childhood indulgence could make the child develop serious adjustment problems in a social circle. Solution — the parents have to fight their temptation to overindulge the child and make sure that the child develops social adaptability rather than feeling like the ‘king’ of his domain, i.e. his home and the parent’s undivided attention. • Problem — the single child doesn’t have a sibling at home to bond with. Thus, the child tends to develop a very strong and sometimes obsessive bond with the parents and this turns into over-dependence for everything including homework and entertainment. Solution — the parents have to create opportunities for the child to interact with children in his age group. This could be achieved by taking the child to public parks and other play areas where the chances of the child’s social interaction with other kids in enhanced. Parents should try and increase their social interaction with their relatives and cousins and encourage the child to share more of his personal things including toys with others.

HANDLING PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES

Issues like a child’s speech delay or developing temper-related mannerisms are often discussed at parent-teacher meetings besides the obvious subject of the child’s classroom performance. These are many advantages for a caregiver and a parent to attend a parent-teacher conference. An insight into the psychology of the parents and the ability to evaluate the kind of atmosphere they are providing to the child at home, is of vital importance to a teacher. Parents too need to look beyond their child’s academic performance and should seek an honest opinion regarding his shortcomings. Understanding the Parent Perspective It becomes vitally important that an open line of communication and responsive relationship is established between the parents and teachers who are attending such a conference. In order to do this, the parents and teachers need to stay in touch via informal conversations over a period of time. During the meet, it is crucial for the teachers and caregivers to be sensitive to the fact that most parents may have a thought process. The caregiver needs to ensure that they establish an open dialogue with the parents with the welfare of the child as its main theme. Even if the teacher has some serious issues with the child, it is imperative to establish a positive tone for the conference before embarking upon the discussion regarding the weaknesses of the child. Holding a Parent-teacher Meeting The teacher should try and arrange the parent-teacher meet at a convenient timing and should begin the meeting with some positive anecdotes about the child. The teacher should try and focus more on the abilities and competencies of the child before discussing his inadequacies. The teacher should try and encourage the parent’s side of the discussion and their inputs. These contributions by the parents provide valuable insight in evaluating the child’s home environment and the kind of parent support he has. Tackling the Problem If the teacher has a grievance or a specific concern regarding the child’s performance, he should work out a methodology that involves the parents. An involved parent is a key component in sorting out the problems that a child faces. It is important to remember that the child’s upbringing combines a classroom and his home. The emphasis should be on planning a cooperative action plan with an honest follow-up. As the meeting reaches its conclusion, the parents should be encouraged to approach with any further questions or concerns that they might have.

WHY ARE INVOLVED PARENTS VITAL?

Parental involvement is one of the most crucial parts of a child\’s complete education. Parents should try and use a combination of a few simple measures to ensure that they aren’t compromising on a chance of improving their child’s focus, behaviour and overall performance. Attending PTAs PTA meetings are crucial and should be attended by parents, no matter how busy their life’s schedule is. Usually, the parents complain about the lack of time or interest after a hard day at the office but showing up a school meeting and school events is ample proof for the child that his welfare and education is of top priority for his parents. Parents have the liberty to be either: • Be a new-age PTA parent and participate online OR • Be an old-fashioned PTA parent and be actually present Staying Connected Parents should use easily-accessible tools like e-mail to stay in touch with the child\’s school authorities. Besides the often-circulated printed newsletters, schools have websites that help to keep the parents informed about the latest developments at school. In some schools, the teachers even distribute their personal e-mail IDs among the classmates for their parents to freely communicate and stay connected. Get Involved One easy way of easily finding out about the child\’s performance at school is by having an honest conversation with his teacher and parents of the classmates. Parents should find ways of contributing to school events. Simple contributions like writing an article for the school newsletter or making goodies for school celebrations shows to the other PTA members that the parents are serious about making a difference to the quality of education being imparted at the school. Getting support and sympathy of the PTA assures that the child is looked after and cared for. Helping Each Other Out Parents should try and stay connected with the other parents. Parenting isn\’t easy for anyone but talking it out with other concerned parents can help out to sort out issues which one set of parents haven’t been able to do so on their own. There is a huge probability that the other parent might have some experiences and hence, insight by having had been through a similar problems with their children. Parents could try and set up a parent help group which could be either in the residential block or even at the office. Children who have involved and caring parents, exhibit: • Higher grades better test scores. • Improved school attendance and low anxiety. • Motivation and increased sense of self-esteem. • Lower rates of absenteeism or suspension. • Reduced instances of violent behaviour.

HELPING YOUR CHILD WITH HOMEWORK

It is vital that the parents establish a time-based regimen from the early age stages of a child’s life. There should be a set pattern devoted to both doing homework and playing outdoors and helping out with house chores. Planning the weekend is very useful. This is a time when the child has more time than on school days. The weekend could be sued to catch upon pending assignments and for planning ahead the school week. Similarly, if the child has been studying very hard during the weekdays, the weekends should be used to ensure that he is fresh and ready for the week ahead. Time management eventually translates into the child finding enough time for each of his activities and homework isn’t just squeezed in the daily pattern of activities. Developing the Right Attitude A child as young as someone in the first grade needs to understand that doing homework isn’t a matter a choice rather it is an absolute necessity. This may require the parents to behave a bit stricter than they usually are, but once this idea is set in the child’s psychology it seldom requires the parents to explain it again. This one-time effort is essential to make sure that the child looks upon completing his school assignments as a part of his daily routine and not as a predicament. Encouraging a Struggling Child Some children have more difficulty in getting used to sitting down in a place and studying and completing their homework. For such children, the parents have to exhibit how easy it is to concentrate. For this, if the child is facing difficulty in reading for more than a few minutes, the parents should sit down with him and they should read together. If the child complains about too much homework, help him out and tell him that he is not alone in this. What is ‘Helping-out’ with Homework? The parents should be careful and not get over-involved with the child’s studies. They are supposed to provide guidance and not answers for school assignment. By providing answers, the child’s learning abilities get compromised and he would become dependent on his parents rather than seeking their assistance and his own efforts get compromised.

DEVELOPING BETTER PARENT-TEACHER RELATIONS

The best way to promote good learning habits in children is through a joint effort, involving both families and schools. This way responsibility is shared for creating a better working relationship which is concentrated towards the child\’s overall development. Parents can help out the education received at school and the effort made by the teachers by implementing some simple measures at home. These include: Reading Together: When adult family members read out aloud to or with their children on a regular basis, the interest level of the child improves. Taking children to the library and helping them find suitable books is another way of inculcating reading and learning habits among them. Such habits assist the teachers in improving upon the child’s reading, writing and general learning skills. Establishing a Family Routine: Routines could include setting up a timeframe for completing homework, running household errands, eating meals and watching television. A family routine balances and complements the disciplining being conducted at school by the teachers. Using Television: Parents should limit the amount of time spent by children, watching the television. They should help the child choose the appropriate programs for viewing. Some TV programs help raise the level of curiosity in certain subjects and act as a resource for the lessons being taught in school. Keep in Touch: Parents should be aware of what the children are learning, in terms of their assignments, projects and examinations. A child’s progress should be ascertained with regular communication with the teachers and by regularly attending the PTA meetings. Praise and Encouragement: Parents and families play a significant role in affecting a child’s confidence and motivation to become a good student. They should encourage the child to complete his weekly assignments and participate in extracurricular activities as well. Teachers contribute to the child’s classroom learning. However, they can increase the child’s performance by involving the parents and making them a part of the education imparted. This can be done by: Involving Parents in Activities: Teachers can increase the scope of involvement of families by asking for their help with specific activities. Parents can participate by organizing classroom materials or by serving on some school committee or providing their spare time at classroom activities. The more involved parents are likely to understand the teacher’s practices and expectations from the students. Involving Parents in Decision-making: A parents’ perspective should be discussed before making decisions about the children’s teaching tools. School programs should involve the family members in setting academic goals for the children. Parents should be informed about the changing school policies and services. Parent/teacher conferences should be looked upon as an opportunity to exchange viewpoints and deciding upon the best possibilities for improving the child’s performance.

BETTER COMMUNICATION WITH TEACHERS

Essentially, like any other form of good communication, a parent/teacher forum for corresponding involves meeting each other. The parents should be positive and courteous when meeting a teacher and seek his/hers’ honest opinion about their child. This ensures that the parent gets a true, first-hand true account of the child’s performance in school and the problems he is facing. When to Have a Conversation? Parents should find out about the most suitable time to talk to a teacher. If the parent is at school, he/she could be tempted to abruptly ask about the child’s well being, which could be latching on to an unprepared teacher. It is imperative to check with the teacher if the time is convenient for a conversation. If a parent does happen to bump into a school teacher or staff somewhere in the town, limit the communication to exchanging pleasantries. Such accidentals meetings form a part of a social scenario and are not meant for a parent-teacher discussion. Parents Should Look Forward to Scheduling a Special Meeting with the Teacher if: • The child has special needs and the teacher needs to be informed about them before the new academic session begins. • The child’s grades have dropped rather suddenly. • The parent’s suspect that the child is having difficulty in understanding what is being taught in the classroom. • The child is very upset about something that had happened in school but isn’t volunteering to speak about it or is very hesitant in doing so. • The child never seems to do his homework and yet the teachers aren’t complaining. • Some changes at home have happened which could directly affect the child. For example, someone in the family has died or the parents are about to get divorced. Having the Right Conversation: The best form of a conference or any purposeful communication is when both the teacher and parents stay composed and try to work out a strategy to solve the problem regarding the child. Arguing and blaming anyone usually doesn’t solve an issue and the same common sense is applicable here. A Few Good Questions to Ask: • Is the child performing differently in different subjects and if yes, why? • How well does the child get along with the other children? • Which are the child\’s best and worst of subjects? • Does the child work to his true potential? • Does the child participate in class discussions? • Is the child prone to miss classes or skip school?

SPEND SUMMERS BEST WAY, BEST WAYS TO SPEND SUMMERS

Summers are pleasing and everyone needs a break…may be a sun tan, a dip in the pool or a tropical treat. There is one good thing about summer, which is in fact more than a good thing – Vacations. Spending some of the best moments with the family leaves long lasting impressions on everyone. The average working day is too boring and lifeless – parents at the office, attending meetings, children at school and then study and homework – there are few moments to celebrate or cherish. Come vacations and we will be merrymaking, if that is what you felt or promised to the children and other members of the family then stick to your word. But, what are you going to do this vacation – roam around in the city from one shopping center to another with frequent pauses – long pauses – at the traffic lights and in the traffic jams. No, sir. Bad choice. Let it be a grand celebration this time, wait a minute; how much will be the bill! Before planning anything you must consider the impact on your purse and how far you can go. We don’t have anything against you if you are planning for Disney’s or Waterworld, but there are other ways of doing it. All pleasure, fun and excitement are not to be bought from credit cards only. A simple walk in the countryside can be more thrilling than a month’s journey. Now that depends on your taste and what your family likes. But when it comes to cutting the cost and being effective at the same time we may give you some valuable advice. Let us start from higher budgets. Extended family vacations are one way to enjoy and pamper everyone in the summers. There are many places you can go – a nearby hill station, beach resort (not with kids), a hotel at the seaside or travel to the nearby city. But then, you will have to pay for the resorts, hotels, restaurants, transportation and other interesting places you happen to visit. At hill stations, beautiful settings, pure oxygen and peaceful ambience are for free. To make your trip more fruitful and a learning experience to your children, just go for family camping. Camping has the greatest advantage that you don’t have the restriction of being stationed to one place or geographical point. It brings you close to the nature and at the same time reduces some burden on your purse. But be careful as some tour operators charge hefty amounts for family camping. Amusement parks, easiest to reach, always available and no planning required. All you need to do is get the list and leave for the day. You may plan it for a week for different parks and places. It is a family treat, and that is what is soothing in the summers.

PUBLIC SCHOOL: US, UK AND INDIA

Public schools have different meanings for schools established in different countries. In North America and U.S., public schools are those that are administered by the state and are also called as state schools. In Britain and some other countries in Europe, public schools refer to a particular type of schools that evolved from popular schools in the past. In Britain, public schools may demand a fee from the students for various education facilities. In India, public school is more like a brand name, which represents that of the schools established in United Kingdom. As Indian education system still bears the influence of the British education system, the concept of public schools has survived in this country. Public schools are accessible to general public. For public schools, the government provides for the non discriminatory nature of the school. Anyone can receive the education in the public school, provided the students in question are citizens of that particular state. In India public schools are sometimes confused with private schools. However, public schools can be either owned and administered by the government or privately owned. In India there is a lot of difference between private and government schools and public school has nothing to add or contribute in it. A few decades ago, government public schools were considered to be the most important education institutions in the country. These institutions were quite successful to provide the basic amenities, as there used to be a shortage of resources. Today, even though the nation is considered as one of the rapidly developing in the continent, with surplus of resources, the quality of education in government public schools is just deteriorating. Privately owned public schools on the other hand have become the preferred choice, as quality of education has been greatly improved in the last couple of decades. Apart from public schools, there are also community schools, run and administered by specific communities and groups. Indian constitutions guarantees the right to education and that includes religious and other community based education. Community schools are attended by the members of the community and admissions is not given to anyone outside the community. They are self governing and self funded and often run by small trusts.

PRIVATE SCHOOL VS. PUBLIC SCHOOL IN INDIA

The title “Private School Vs Public School in India” envisages the preference of the parents while admitting their children in schools. In a certain way, the topics also tries to reflect on the construction and working of private and public schools established in India. To begin with, let us try to understand what we mean by private school and public school. Private schools are those schools that are established by individuals without any financial aid or support from the government. They are run and administered solely by the individuals under a trust. Public schools on the other hand receive grants from the government and may be administered partly by the government and partly by the individuals that establishes the school. Those were explanations and now let us discuss some important features of private and public schools. Though public schools are more or less same, but private schools exhibit great diversity in terms of the structure and means of education. Public schools are mostly up to the secondary level, and are established in most parts of the country. Private schools on the other hand are concentrated near cities and towns and may offer education for primary level, secondary level or up to senior secondary level. The quality of education received by the children in private schools is better than the public schools. This fact has been supported by a number of surveys, researches and various competitive tests where children from both private schools and public schools participate. But some public schools have proved to be equally efficient as that of accredited private schools. Therefore to award private schools full marks in the contest ‘Private Schools Vs public schools’ would not be totally right. According to a number of surveys, in public schools teacher absenteeism is a major issue. Whereas in private schools, teachers are unlikely to remain absent during school days. Student attendance is also better in private schools compared to public schools. School administration and management in private schools observes a very strict code. Since individuals run them, the control on the staff and faculties is very much in the hands of the administrators. In public schools, there is a lenient code as both staff members and the head of the institute are under the control of government. These are some of the characteristic features of private and public schools. Every parent comes to this thought ‘Private School Vs Public School’ once the children reach the age to get admitted in the school. So far as parent preference is considered it is obvious that private schools are the priority for people in cities. In small towns and countryside, public schools are the only options.

SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Article on School Curriculum School Curriculum and Student Concerns Formal education in India allows for minimal changes and that too in the course curriculum or textbooks. For decades the popular education system continues to be unaltered, as the directives that come from some apex institutions have to be religiously followed. That makes the whole educational system rigid and hinders the growth and development of the student. In the rapidly evolving technological era, a decade is a large time frame. The life style, the human conditions, the living environment can witness a great deal of changes. In order to cope up with the changing environment, other institutions have to allow provisions for these changes. The same applies for our education system also. In the present era, we need the citizens who are more responsible, citizens who understand the gravity of such problems like global warming, pollution, depleting resources, experts who can go beyond nano technology and microeconomics, we need citizens who can contribute to the overall development of the society. This can only happen when the curriculum is designed to promote these concepts. Often students are not happy with the curriculum. Most of the things taught happen to be too generic, which are of little help in any stage of life. Some of the concerns students share because of inappropriate curriculum are as: • Information based curriculum Many students share this concern that the school curriculum lays too much emphasis on information assimilation, rather than knowledge gathering. • The age old content The approved content is outdated and has little relevance in the present times. • Meagre provisions for extra curricular activities Though some educational institutes or popular schools do make adequate provisions to include extra curricular activities, still not much is done on this front. • Conventional approaches The curriculum also does not support new methods or methodologies of teaching. At times the teacher may come up with an unorthodox idea or solution to make the students learn new lessons, but there is very little he/she can do owing to the rigid nature of school curriculum. These are some commonly found concerns that hinder the students from receiving the kind of education they need.

INDIAN SCHOOLS ARTICLE, ARTICLE ON INDIAN SCHOOLS

School days are unforgettable, inerasable and the inseparable experiences a person who has received the formal education lives with. You may forget your old colleagues, your previous job and the boss, but the enchanted memories of the school remain preserved in one of the corners of the mind. Whose Perspective? Previously I assigned a task – that of writing school experience to an education expert. When it was ready I realized that it presented a mature outlook and reflected the opinion and the vision of the expert and not the immaturity and innocence of the child. It was then I started interacting with children to find out what it means to be at the school. This excerpt presents a 360-degree view of the same. School days are different for students in different classes. A child in third standard sees school differently than a seventh grade student. There are but some elements that are repeated by most of the children and students in different standards. Early Mornings A child in primary school wakes up early in the morning and is not very happy to go to the school. School for most is the confined area where children are forced by their parents to receive the formal education. This is the idea that prevails largely in the Indian subcontinent. Right now, we do not intend to go into the discussions as what makes the child feel imprisoned and caged in the classroom. The treatment received by the students is differential and depends on a lot of factors, the prime being the kind of school. In India there are primary two kinds of schools, based on the administration. There are government schools, run by the state governments and there are private schools. Private and Government Schools Private schools are generally considered to be the better as the facilities are much better than those of government run schools. Private schools demand a high education fee and the popular the school the more is the fee structure. Affordability determines as what kind of education the child would ultimately receive. For high-income families, their children happen to be enrolled in the prime schools of India. Low-income families prefer their children to be taught in government schools. “We Don’t Like It” The child, whether it’s the one who goes to the elite school in the vicinity or the one who goes to the government school, both are unwilling to go to the school. It is worst for the former ones. The rules, regulations, competition, mentoring and more puts too much stress on the child. The classrooms present the stillness and the dullness in life. Instructions are given to the children in a tight and strict framework that can never be questioned by the child. The freedom of child is often impaired and the child is made to feel subordinate to the supreme authority – the school. It is very hard, but children often do not complain. There is more than a smile when the final bell rings – may be it is the salvation. School Picnic is a Different Story However things are quite different when it is ‘no working day’. On picnics, events and celebrations the same child will be twice happy and overjoyed to be at school. There are many other extra curricular activities, but compared to the routine daily working days, they are much too less. My Social Arena The school is the complimentary of the neighbourhood so far as socializing is considered. Students usually mix up with few selected classmates and teammates. These small groups often have a number of things in common. As they grow together, they tend to assimilate more or less the same social values. Children who study in private schools and those studying in the government schools often share feelings of status complex and dominance. The children studying in private schools generally feel themselves to be superior to those of government schools. This is a general observation marked through out India. Children are aware of this status differentiation. All Those Ponderous School Walks The school timings are from early morning 08 a.m. or 09 a.m. to late afternoon 02.30 p.m. or 03 p.m. On any morning you will find the children in neat and clean uniforms rushing with more than 4 kilo bags clinging on their backs. The best time during the whole exercise for the children is the recesses or the lunchtime. One can argue that the schools and the adopted education system is not child friendly at all. The curriculum has been designed, especially for secondary and higher secondary classes and very little has been changed in the last so many decades. Hindi, English and Hinglish One another major issue is the language. Indian education system has stressed on the use of different languages for receiving the instructions. The language therefore becomes the medium and the children have to learn these languages. English has been approved to be the second language, which in fact has completely replaced the position of the first, which is Hindi. In private schools particularly, the medium is the English. The dichotomy creates a problem at two stages; first during the education itself and second after the completion of the education. The School Syllabi The syllabus for secondary school examinations is fixed for all and is issued by the State Board or the Central Board of School Examinations. The syllabus more or less favours the students studying in the English medium schools. Since the medium of instruction is different, the child from private school, where English is given preference, faces no difficulty in the comprehension and examinations. At professional level also, English is considered to be an asset. In cities and city centers where a lot of industries and service providers recruit candidates, the one who has a hold on English language has better prospects. Also, foreign agencies based in India make it compulsory for the employee to be able to understand and speak English.

STUDENT LOANS, EDUCATION LOANS, FINANCE STUDIES INDIA

Professional education is becoming more and more available as banks and financial institutions have extended their support to finance the education. In India many national banks award student or education loans to the applicants. Education Loans: Education loans are provided by national banks and several other foreign banks and financial institutions. The concerned bank or agency provides monetary help and assistance and bears up to 90 per cent of the expenses incurred on education for a certain course. Student Loans – Types: There are two types of loans provided by the banks – for studies based in India, and for students seeking admissions in foreign schools and universities. For admissions and studies in India, the loan amount varies from 20,000 to 7.5 lacs. The loan amount is fixed as per the course of study. It can be availed for graduate programs and technical education. Students who want to go abroad for studies, the loan amount is larger. There are banks that provide more than 10 lacs as student loan to finance the education. Guarantor: Most of the banks just ask for a guarantor, who can be the guardian, parent, relative or even friend, as security for the loan amount. It is on the guarantor’s promise that the loan is sanctioned. The bank may also consider other factors and hasten up the process. For studies abroad, the applicant must have some collateral security like fixed deposits or property whose worth is greater than or equal to the loan amount to be disbursed. Documents: To avail the loan the students must provide to the bank necessary documents like marks sheet or certificate of the last qualified examination, admission certificate of the particular institute one has mentioned in the loan application, receipts of fee and other course expenditures, etc. Margin and Rate of Interest: The margin is the amount that would be deducted from the loan amount for which the student has applied. Say the margin is 5 per cent and the amount is 5 lacs, then the amount disbursed would be 4.75 lacs. The remaining amount, which is 25,000 has to be contributed by the student. The rate of interest varies and is generally above 10 per cent and below 14 per cent. Repayment: The repayment procedures have been made less rigid so that students do not feel reluctant to apply for the loan. Generally the students are asked to pay after six month or 1 year of the completion of the education or till they get a job, the time period not exceeding one year.

WHEN TO SAY NO TO CHILD, SAY NO TO CHILD

Even before a child is born, the parents are too eager to shower their love and care on the arriving guest. With the newborn in the family, a whole set of transitions takes place. It can be better described as one of the important phases in the lifecycle of a human being. The father and the mother, together they have to provide the child with all they can. As the baby grows, it starts demanding. Children are very intelligent and respond quickly. They learn easily and when it is time to twist then know which way to do it. A child hardly understands the difference between wants, desires and needs. He might ask for Santa Claus, the cycle the kid in the neighbourhood has, new toys and what not. Mrs. Priya says that her youngest kid wants all that the elder ones get and she has a hard time negotiating with the kid. That is one point where some children get spoilt as their parents fail to realize what is needed by the child. When To Say No? “Believe me, it is so awful and strange as my daughter begins to sob, when I say ‘No’ and she does not understand,” says Amrita. “I am myself confused at times as whether her demand is really needed or not.” A child enjoys pampering the most. The baby just feels like giving orders, which should be obeyed and fulfilled by the subjects. Parents also like to pamper their children, but limits have to be drawn. A pampered child might get used to wishes and whims that are easily fulfilled by the parents and other family members. ‘Negotiate and negotiate hard’, that is the best advice you can have on parenting. The child must, even if it appears unacceptable to the child, learn to ask only those things which parents do allow. If the parent says no, then no it means. After negotiations, if the child continues to insist then the parent has to say no and close the chapter as soon as possible. Even a little leniency can make the child feel that it is possible provided he or she keeps insisting. It becomes a habit and then starts affecting the behaviour. Other Methods One parent who has written to us from Pune says that she often negotiates by providing alternates. The child asks for a mobile phone and we settle on comic books. That way the child also gets something worth to have and the parent also manages to grant the wish of the child.

RULES & REGULATIONS OF CBSE BOARD

CBSE board has transformed the level of education in our country. This board has evolved the education system in our country and has brought enormous growth in the number of educated people in our country. The Central Board of Secondary Education or the CBSE board, as it is popularly known as, is the oldest educational board in our country. It is the main board of education in India and has the maximum number of students passing out each year.

NOC NO LONGER REQUIRED FOR CBSE AFFILIATION!

Setting up a CBSE school just got easier as schools will no longer need an NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the CBSE for applying for affiliation. Amendment to policy Byelaws Last month, an amendment was made to a rule on CBSE affiliation by-laws. According to a CBSE circular, dated July 8, 2013, “A school seeking provisional affiliation with the Board must have formal prior recognition of the State/U.T. government and also produce evidence to this effect that the applicant school had intimated the education department of the State about the application made to CBSE seeking affiliation with the Board.” Only if the CBSE receives an objection to the application does the school need to produce an NOC from the State. “In case the board receives objections during the application process of the school, it may ask the concerned school to produce the NOC from the State government or Union Territory or otherwise it would be assumed that the concerned State/UT government has no objection,” the amendment says. The circular also says the amendment in the affiliation bye-laws was made on the recommendations made by the affiliation committee in a meeting on June 24, and the subsequent approval of the governing body of the Board. As per the earlier rule, the application of the school seeking provisional affiliation with the CBSE must either be forwarded to the Board by the State government or there should be an NOC to the effect. Our Reaction At the outset, it looks like a good move and will really simplify the process of setting up a school and ensure speedy affiliation to the CBSE. This move will not only remove the bureaucratic delays and hurdles but also put an end to the heavy bribes that officials and politicians demand from the schools to grant the NOC. This will also encourage existing state board schools to shift to CBSE since CBSE schools are preferred by parents for the standard of education they offer. This trend will be seen in states like Tamil Nadu where the state boards not only have to follow a traditional schooling curriculum and have also have fee regulation and many administrative constraints under which they have to operate. Reaction from the states Education, under the constitution has always been a state subject and hence, states are not expected to relinquish control over the school system so easily so there may be policy announcements on this subject, which may impose some new controls in the coming months. We would hope nothing of this happens but will have to wait and watch. Even if no policy change is made by the states they can still send objections to the CBSE regarding granting the affiliation, but the tediousness of the process might make the state government selective about this. But it has to be seen how each state government will react to it. However for now, we can say it is a huge step in the right direction and Mr. Shashi Tharoor should be thanked for taking this step – which has been a long standing demand of the school sector! If this news has made you excited to setup a CBSE School- Do fill up the form and we can get you started in the process of opening your dream school in your city.

The business plan should be a working model of your school. Next, arrange the budget required. The capital investment for starting your International School may be anywhere from Rs 2 Crore to Rs 3 Crores. This may be even higher, depending upon the infrastructure of your school. You may approach a private financer, financial institution or a bank to get loan for opening International School. After the funds have been arranged, you may form a Trust or a Society that would administer your International School.

SCHOOL FRANCHISING

SCHOOL FRANCHISING Business franchising has received great attention in this country and for reasons that can well be justified. It serves an established business group or enterprise as well as a startup project or an entrepreneur. For an established business group, franchising offers the best practice to expand the business, and for an entrepreneur it gives leverage, a platform that has already been built. In the last couple of decades, school franchising in India has observed a cosmic growth. Some established schools and popular brands in India offer school franchising. The franchisee or the person investing capital and infrastructure is given exclusive rights to use the name and trademarks. School franchising has had an overall good effect on the society. Since the established schools or the franchisors have gone through all the stages of developing a school and the study center, the implementation of the same standards is easy and practical. One can find a lot of branches for different type of schools like preschools, primary schools, secondary schools and senior secondary. These branches may either be owned or administered by one core group or may be existing as the franchisee units, operated by the franchisees. Investing in schools or education in itself offers a great opportunity in India. This country has a great demand for the primary and secondary school educations. The schools are few and fewer are the ones that provide quality education. Investing in a school is also a long time investment. A successful school continues to give benefits for endless times. Therefore, profits are recurring and accumulative in nature. It is due to this reason that school is sometimes considered or counted as an asset. As we have discussed different types of schools; the investments depend on the establishment of any of these types. For preschools and nursery schools investments are low and school franchising helps a lot. For primary secondary and senior secondary, investments are generally higher. Further, it depends on the franchising model as well; as some franchisors ask for more capital, as security, development and other charges.

KIDS SCHOOL FRANCHISING

Kids School The education system varies in different countries of the world. But, there are more similarities as the objectives and goals of education are the same. The education system provides for three different levels – schooling, colleges and university. The university is considered to be the highest seat of learning. Schooling is further divided into sub categories like preschools, nursery, primary, high school, etc. Kids school is the one where small children aged 2 to 6 or 7 are educated. Kids school may be a preparatory school, nursery school or an integrated school that provides education and training for both preschool children and nursery school children. Presence of Kids Schools One might be interested to know as why kids school has to operate in a given system and what purpose do they really serve. Kids school is a special school as the children are young and new to the idea of learning. Kids school must receive a special treatment, which does not apply to our primary or secondary schools. That is why many establishments venture in kids school and keep it separate from primary schools. One of the most adopted school system is the K-10, pronounced as kay-ten. It refers to a school from kindergarten to grade 10. It has been observed that small children in K 10 schools do not receive the kind of education, as the administration and management has to provide for all the standards. One more factor that has led to the establishment of kids’ schools is their demand in the market. Parents have been demanding special care and educations for their kids, prior to their receiving the formal education. This has helped the concept of special kids school to grow widely. Starting a Kids School Starting a kids school is the most convenient among all kinds of schools. Kids school has a low enrollment ratio than primary or high schools. If the school provides for preschool kids only, the number of students enrolled remains close to 100. If the schooling is extended to include kindergarten levels, the numbers may go up to 200. Kids school does not require a large campus. It can be managed in a small building, but with adequate space for the children. There should be provisions for school lawn and playfield. So far as licensing and other official documents are concerned, they can be had easily and the procedures are often simple.

SCHOOL FRANCHISE IN INDIA: GROWTH PROSPECTS

When we refer to franchise we mean business format franchise. Business format franchise is the model as per which the business model is shared by the franchisor with the franchisee. The latter is liable to some rights, ownership and operational rights, which ensure that the franchisee functions independently and as agreed by the franchisor and franchisee. The growth of school franchise in India has observed a regular incline in the previous decade. One of the growing trends is to establish a business that has a worldwide appeal. With the coming of foreign brands in the country, many entrepreneurs entered into franchise agreements with the known brands. As the franchise model demands lower capital investment, there has been mushrooming of popular products and services in the country. Not only this, certain Indian brands have also become very popular in the country and thus tempting the investors to enter into partnerships. Behind the success of franchise model for any type of business, there should are certain requirements that should be fulfilled. The prominent among them is the supply-demand function. School franchise in India has great prospects as the demand for the same is immense. India is the second most populous country in the world and the slot that is primary and secondary education offers innumerable opportunities. In the last two decades a number of school chains have been doing successful business and growing slowly and gradually. The growth of some of them has been majorly due to an established franchise model. There is crucial evidence in support of the argument and that is the growing demand. Private ownership and commercial enterprises have not been allowed to take advantage of the opportunities by the Indian government. The government has been apprehensive at it believes that commercial motives will create greater disparity among the children receiving the education. But it has been unsuccessful of handling the issue due to overabundant demand and lack of resources and infrastructure. The situation has compelled the government to provide for some flexibility. In the time to come there would be more interventions from the private enterprises and undertakings. Many institutions have already intensified their efforts. Since some schools have already made their presence in the country, therefore franchising and multiplying the units has become quite desirable. This is the story behind the growth of the popular school chains and the significance school franchise in India has been accumulating over years.

FRANCHISEE OF SCHOOL – OVERVIEW

Since we have been having a very long time exposure with franchisees, we can tell you about franchisee of school and also the franchising system in the Indian context. Some two decades ago, most of the schools had just one or two branches owned by a particular trust or society. School chain was not popular in the country and the established schools were also not interested in expanding their units or branches. School franchising caught the real pace in India in the last decade of the century that passed. Some of the famous school brands offered and encouraged other people to invest their time and money and establish a branch of their own under the aegis of the popular brand. School Franchisee School franchisee is the owner of one or more than one school branches that has been franchised. The franchisee is bound by a franchisee agreement to operate the school as per the norms and conditions mentioned and is (the owner) entitled to the proprietary rights. People tend to get confused, as they are unable to figure out whether the profits, if there are any, are made by this unit owner or franchisee. As per government directives, school is registered under a trust or society and is said to have a non-profit motive. However, if the motive is to further the development of the education or school, there are no impositions. The owners or the board of directors do obtain profits and there are a number of ways and practices to do it. What does it need to become Franchisee of School? Franchisee of school does not need any eligibility at all. Anyone committed to run a school and willing to invest money can become a school franchisee. It is true that academicians can run a school in a better way, but given the orientation programmes and training by franchisor any person can be a successful administrator.

HOW TO FRANCHISE A SCHOOL IN INDIA?

To the reader we must say that the articles you will read are meant to give a fair idea about franchising and will particularly help to know as how to franchise a school in India.. As you must have noticed the ideas have been represented from a franchisor’s point of view and primarily concerns the proposition of taking up a franchisee. In this article we aim to elucidate information about franchising a school and therefore would be addressing to those likely to become school franchisors. Franchising is in essence a commercial idea to expand business by allowing a kind of partnership. If you want to franchise products or any service, you must have in hand a working model of the business and good reputation in the market. Franchising a School in India An owner or administrator who has the proprietary rights of a school unit can franchise a school in India in the same manner. This may be done for two reasons: 1)Opening of new branches and therefore expansion 2)More coverage in terms of increased units Commercial Interests There is no doubt that the brand that intends to franchise a school in India does have commercial interests. But such interests are lesser in terms of monetary profit and more of adding value to the brand. A good example of it is the preschool chains. When a preschool chain opens a new branch its primary purpose is to extend the services to different parts of the country. How to begin? Ideally, the brand of school that aspires to franchise the units must have a reputation and popularity in any particular area that investors and entrepreneurs would themselves be seeking an alliance with the brand. However, lack of awareness, makes it unavoidable to market your brand of school. Therefore, the first step would be to advertise about your school and let people know that you are offering franchise opportunities. The second step, which has to be formulated even before the process begins, is to fix the royalty and franchise fee and the corresponding support that would be provided. Royalty and Support Services One thing worth noting is that the recurring royalty that is to be paid by the franchisee is unlike tax or anything like that. The royalty is like a fee to be paid for the promotion of the brand, for the assistance and support services and for overall value additions made to the brand. Entering into a Contract Once everything has been provided to the discretion of the franchisee and an understanding is arrived at, a legal contract that puts down the obligations of franchisee and franchisor is signed. This is how school brand can be franchised. There are many ways of going for the intermediate steps, like finding suitable people who can be good franchisees. Different organisations or franchisor follow different approaches, but the overall process remains the same.

FRANCHISE IN SCHOOL EDUCATION

Franchising, as most of us know, is a method of expanding the business by selling the ownership rights of a business unit or multiple units to any external agency or individual. Two common types of franchises are the business format franchise and product line franchise. A handful of school brands have become very popular in India. These schools offer excellent academic environment and their alumni occupy the prime positions in their respective professional fields and in the society. As their popularity spreads, it becomes easy for them to expand their reach by opening new school branches. There are two ways to do the same – open new branches themselves or franchise the school service. This is one of the most visible forms of franchise in school education. So far, popular schools have been successful in opening a few branches of their own, mostly in the same region or state. Yet a few school brands have successfully opened scores of branches and all over India with the help of franchise model. Franchise in school education in India School franchise model is much like a typical business format franchise. The franchisor is the owner and administrator of a renowned school. The franchisor has in hands an established branch, popularity, knows how of how to run a school, and offers the same to anyone who is interested in opening a school. Different franchisors ask for different requirements and therefore terms and conditions vary. However in every franchise contract you will find –an upfront fee or franchisee fee; royalty to be paid monthly, quarterly or annually; a list of requirements as land and building, infrastructure development fee, training fee (not mandatory), etc. Where to find School Franchise details? Normally, franchisors, especially those providing product-line franchise, organize events and exhibitions to invite the investors and entrepreneurs to be their franchisee. In school education, it does not happen this way. Instead the schools advertise and market in the regional media about partnering with other groups or individuals. Information can be found in some trade magazines or on the respective websites of any franchise brand. Thus franchise in school education is easily available in India.

5 ADVANTAGES OF SCHOOL FRANCHISE

Whether it is buying a school franchise or selling a school franchise, the prospects for both are too good to be refused. School franchise requires a known school to open new branches by selling these units to different franchisees. The investments therefore are primarily made by the franchisee. School franchise has been actuated by the rapid developments in the Indian education center. In cities and adjoining towns, economic growth and development has been accompanied by changing lifestyle and living standards. Leave alone the government spending; it is people who are spending good money on the education. As the needs of the people have been multiplying, so have the school units. Business franchise has its own pros and cons. A keen look at school reveals following advantages: 1. Low Capital Investment: Like other franchise models, school franchise is based on a low capital investment model. The cost cutting or reduction of costs happens due to the savings made in promoting and administering the school. With a decent franchise fee, a franchisee takes on a reputed name and details regarding running the school. 2. Regular Appreciations: Schools are like assets and their value in those terms are supposed to change with the time. There are regular appreciations and regular increments based on appreciations of assets, including those of real estate. 3. Guaranteed Return on Investments: School franchise guarantees returns as the gross transactions happen in real time and without any delays. Once the school is operational, school fee, admission fee and other payments are received forthwith. 4. Long Term Profits: After buying a school franchise, the franchisee can run and operate the school for a long period of time, usually a couple of decades. Even if the franchise needs renewal, it is still a better choice. By the time a franchisee complete a term, he is skilled enough to run his own independent school. 5. Easy Procedures: Schools, as they come under public domain, require a lot of paper work and liaising with the government agencies. However, by buying school franchise, the franchisee is relieved of these onerous procedures. These are the some of the advantage that a franchisee avails by buying a franchise unit.

It covers both profitability and risk aversion aspects of the business – which are two major concerns for any investor.

Hiding Admission From Children?

Many parents choose not to indulge their children in discussions/activities regarding the admission procedure of various schools. This feeling stems from the fact that if the child begins to ponder over why he wasn’t able to get admission in a certain ‘big’ school, it could jeopardise his/her self-image/confidence. However, most parents find it difficult to hide such facts from their children. The reason is simple — children today are smart enough to figure out if they have been rejected or not. Seeing their parents running frantically from one school to another, submitting the admission forms and the look of despair when the admission isn’t entertained leaves no unsolved mystery for the child. Some, psychiatrists though believe that children shouldn’t be kept in the dark about such information. Instead, children should be pre-prepared for such a transition and I in dealing with the forthcoming failures/rejections — playschool to a formal school, which may or may not be of the parents’ choice. Children should be made to understand that the design or the size of the school, that usually does get a child fixated on a particular school, really doesn’t matter and that he/she would eventually make new friends and have caring teachers. For this purpose, it is suggested that children shouldn’t be taken along to each school when seeking admission. This could confuse the child’s judgement or make him obsessive about a certain kind of school. It is best to apply to a good number of schools and take the child to only those schools where his/her candidature is most likely to be accepted.

School Admissions for 3+ Children

I came across a news snippet regarding school admissions in Delhi and feel the need to share it with the audience. As we know, many schools have adopted the score based system of admitting the children in the school, especially nursery admissions, there is some good news for parents whose children are more than three years. As per reports, a number of schools award more points to children who are above the age of 3 years. Some schools award 10 and some 15 points for children of age above 4 years and below 4 and a half years. This provision follows as part of the obligation by the education bodies to prioritize the school admissions for less privileged cases. It can be viewed as a positive development as children who are just two years and above can wait another year or find it better at preparatory schools. Children who are above 3 years or 4 years should be admitted, otherwise they will find themselves with lesser age groups.

Break Even Analysis in case of Preschools

Break-even analysis is an important calculation used in business ventures like running a preschool. Break even analysis of a preschool is reached when its revenues equal the sum of all the expenses. At the break even point there is zero profit, but it also means that the business is no longer running losses and from here on it would begin to incur profits. A break-even calculation makes a lot of sense for the preschool owner because it helps to calculate the level of child enrolment that is necessary to avoid operating in a loss. However, break even breakdown is more of an indicator rather than a science of exact calculations. For example, the childcare provider could choose not to add more children to reach the break-even point. Instead, the fee for new enrolments could be raised or the staff/child ratios could be altered. Thus, this analysis is indicative of how the preschool business set-up is operating in terms of finances and the changes it needs to make. Revenue projections can also go awry if there is a high rate of children dropping out of the preschool, right in between the semester. Preschools could solve this problem by making the parents sign a payment agreement. The agreement could be prepared in such a manner that the parents have to either give a two-week notice before taking out their child or pay one week of tuition fee in advance. Interested to Open a School? Call 91+9560809732 Costs In order to effectively control and budget the cost, expenditures, etc. the preschool management should have a good understanding of the various kinds of costs that are incurred when running the business. The break even analysis of a preschool factor in various kinds of costs likes, • Fixed costs have a near-negligible tendency to change over a period of time. These costs do no undergo any kind of variation irrespective of the total number of teachers employed or the number of children enrolled. These include costs incurred in the form of land rent, insurance payments, etc. • Variable costs tend to alter over a short or longer period of time. For example, costs incurred due to the money spent on food provided to the children would alter in proportion to the number of children enrolled. • Step-variable costs are those costs that do change with a factor like the number of children enrolled but tend grow to a larger extent than the cost of preschooling calculated on a per child basis. A common example of a step-variable cost is teacher salaries. Break even analysis of a preschool also need to factor in • Average revenue per child. • Margin created per child. • Personal expenses debited from the preschool’s business account.

Preparatory School for Children

Schooling has turned into a major business sector in India. Securing admission in a reputed senior secondary school is often linked to the quality and brand name of the preschool or playschool that the child had attended. Parents are often faced with preschools/playschools that advertise themselves as the ‘best preparatory school for children’. Many policy changes have been made regarding the admission process in the preschool sector but these guidelines are being openly flouted by the preschools that might market themselves as the ‘best preparatory school for children’. Again, the interviewing of the parents in the senior secondary schools has also been abolished. This was to ensure that the blatant commercialisation of the preschooling sector in India was abolished. This is because often the interview process would grind the parents regarding the preschooling options they had made. Just to give an overview, with these policies in place, even parents seeking admission to the supposed ‘best preparatory school for children’ were often humiliated in terms of their qualifications and financial status. Interested to Open a School? Call 91+9560809732 However, there are some worthy play schools that are truly preparatory schools and have positioned themselves as a means to bridge the gap before leaping into an environment for senior secondary or formal education. Some people have suggested that a ‘play school’ is actually a misnomer as the curriculum of preschools isn’t about random playing and is based upon certain theme-based, purposeful interactive sessions that endeavour to ensure a child’s holistic development. Play Schools – the urban connection Play schools are just entering the semi-urban areas or industrial towns. Presently, there are largely looked upon as an urban need — an urban phenomenon. This is largely due to the fact that the disposable incomes are higher in the cities and the number of nuclear families is increasing by the moment. Again the concept of working parents translates into greater need for preschools/playschools. Forays have been made into the non-urban centres and an example of it is the SHEMROCK Group of Schools. They have introduced playschool-based centers in many small towns and sub-urban areas. Such play-schools aren’t a mirror image of their metropolitan counterparts but they strive hard to fulfill the purpose of structured preschooling . There have been some attitudinal changes that have led to a growing demand for play schools. The debate regarding a play school’s purpose is increasingly fading away.

Preschool Brochures: Need & Impact

In terms of a definition, a brochure is basically a leaflet/booklet/pamphlet/piece of printed paper that is used for the purpose of promoting a product, brand name or services. Brochures for preschools are generally used for advertising activities and preschools have been using them since their very inception. The design of a typical preschool brochure should be attention-grabbing and usually brochures for preschools are infused with a lot of creativity and an array of different colours. Advantages of Having Brochures for Preschools For any successful marketing campaign it is vital that the logo should be very impactful and should induce a feeling of association and reliability with the people. If the logo is seen often, then the marketing campaign has been successful in making the people familiar a particular brand. This holds true for preschools also. One of the easiest ways to make people familiar with the logo of a preschool is by getting them printed on brochures for preschools. Brochures for preschools usually carry the preschool’s logo, making the audience feel that the brand is professional and financially successful. Impact of Brochures for Preschools Most brochures for preschools have smiling and happy children in a very expressional manner. These brochures use glossy photographs that have preschool teachers intermingling with the students and are littered with pictures of activities that are conducted by the preschool like the field-trips or picnics or stage performances of the students. Such brochures enhance the preschool’s image as having the suitable kind of environment to enable the holistic development of a child. This helps in engaging the parent’s attention and in making sure that more people approach the preschool for admission. Hence, brochures for preschools also aid in more admission and bigger profits. Brochures for preschools are circulated among the neighbouring household and sometimes also in business places that are likely to see a large footfall of young children. For example, fast food chains. An impressive preschool brochure is a combined effort of the graphic designers, school’s staff, administrators and sometimes the feedback of parents. Understanding the Role of Brochures of Preschools The importance of brochures for preschools can be best understood with a simple example. Let us suppose a parent is seeking admission for his 3-year-old son in a preschool that is trustworthy but doesn’t have sufficient information regarding the neighbourhood preschools. The parent starts to seek the opinions of family, friends and office colleagues but is still confused. Now, he sees a preschool brochure. The brochure looks very attractive and the layout is beautiful. It addresses the preschool education from the child’s/parent’s viewpoint. The brochure contains a lot of photographs that highlights the preschool’s facilities/activities. Just a look at the brochure, impresses the parent so much that he immediately makes an enquiry about admissions to that preschool and is eventually persuaded by that school’s counselling staff to get his son admitted.

Tackling Violence in Schools

From corporal punishment and sexual abuse to verbal and emotional abuse, violence in schools is becoming common in India and in order to resolve this issue, Plan India — a developmental organisation for child rights launched a campaign called — “Learn without fear”, in New Delhi. It has been established that nearly 69% children report physical abuse, including cases of corporal punishment. Out of the reported cases, two out of three children complained about corporal punishment. Maximum percentage of corporal punishment was found in government and municipal schools. Other forms of violence among children included sexual abuse. The worst offending states include AP, Assam, Bihar and Delhi. Corporal punishments in schools have been handed out for numerous ‘reasons’ like dirty uniform, homework, late comings, late fee, etc. The nature of ‘punishment’ has been found to include making children stand in the sun, do repeated sit-ups and merciless beatings. Violence could be both physical and mental. Children humiliated in a class could turn violent on fellow classmates. Most educators said that increasing academic competition and parental pressure was over-taxing students and making them angry. Some counsellors suggested that acceptance and supporting the child without being threatening or violent was essential to resolve childhood insecurities. They laid emphasis upon increasing communication with the children and more parent-teacher interaction platforms. Teacher training in understanding student behaviour was also stressed upon.

Innovative Teaching To The Fore

The one week-long DPS Principal’s Conference held in Gandhinagar ended on November 28th 2008 and one aspect of the discussion that found favour with everyone was regarding the use of innovative and futuristic teaching methods in order to make the learning process more engaging and sustainable. The conference saw 32 DPS principals participate and communicate their individual experiences. Nearly every educationist in attendance agreed that more sincere efforts were needed to teach young minds through making education/learning more realistic by using the tools of observation and self-exploration.   The conference was also attended by some management gurus like IIM-A professor, Anil Gupta. Mr. Gupta went on to present his definition of a good teacher. According to him, the best teachers were those who interacted with the maximum number of children outside the classroom. The chief guest was Dr. Sasi Misra, Professor, Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDI). He was of the opinion that education in India was overpriced and the pricing of educational services ought to be in compliance with values imparted to a child.

Education as Right to cost Rs. 12000 a year

The government has slated to introduce the long awaited Right to Education Bill in Parliament in December. The Bill ensures fundamental right for children aged 6 to 12. While stating that both the Centre and states would be responsible for the finances, it said the Centre would prepare the capital and recurring expenditure and provide it as grants-in-aid to each state from time to time. The GoM also decided to consult the finance commission for additional resources. However, the share between the Centre and states is yet to be decided. To cost the exchequer early Rs 12,000 crore every year, even private unaided schools would not be out of its ambit since 25% of seats would have to be reserved for poor children in the neighbourhood. On its part, the Centre would be reimbursing the cost of these schools. The legislation has a host of features that stress not only on reaching out to every child in the age group 6 to 14 but also on quality and accountability of the state and education system. Sources said the legislation is aimed at dealing with criticism that state-run schools lag behind in quality. To ensure that the law gets effectively implemented, the Bill has provisions prohibiting teachers from undertaking private tuitions as well as not letting them being used for non-educational purpose. To ensure that parents have equal stake in the system, the Bill provides for School Management Committees in all government and aided schools. Each committee would monitor and oversee the working of the school, manage its assets and ensure quality. There is also a provision that teacher vacancy should never exceed more than 10% of the total strength. To monitor the implementation of the law, the Bill purposes a National Commission for Elementary Education to be headed by a chairperson. He would be appointed by a committee consisting of the PM, leaders of opposition in both Houses of Parliament, HRD minister and the Lok Sabha Speaker. Article courtesy: Times of India, 1st Nov ’08

Preschool Brands in India

A branded preschool in India isn’t uncommon these days. Most urban and semi-urban centres boast of a number of branches of branded preschools. Pre schooling has evolved into a professionally managed sector with rising investments and vast opportunities for expansion through franchises being offered. Some people tend to confuse Day-care centres and preschools. Although a preschool also serves the purpose of being a day-care centre, it is a bit different in its approach. A branded preschool in India is associated with being a licensed and accredited educational establishment that boasts of a planned and structured academic and recreational environment within a professionally-developed curriculum. Interested to Open a School? Call 91+9560809732 Better than Day-care Preschools offer more age-appropriate type of activities as they function beyond the realm of merely keeping the child engaged unlike a day-care centre. A branded preschool in India is now being marketed as a stepping stone towards formal education. In India, senior secondary education is very serious and preschools which promise to provide a foundation for further learning also assume a great deal of importance. The academic aspect of branded preschools in India is much more than that of global preschools and is feature unique to the Indian system of preschooling. Varying Curriculum Some branded preschool in India might still be following the Montessori system of education. Some more prestigious and reputed preschools have gone beyond the realm of Montessori-based curriculum. A branded preschool in India might advertise itself as the best in the business as most of the leading brands have a good reputation. However, in this age of slick advertising, such advertisement-based campaigns might just be an eyewash and may be only highlighting the better aspects associated with a particular brand of preschool. This is why it becomes critical to check out the certifications and accreditations of a preschool rather than just depend upon its reputation. Any branded preschool in India is basically a privately-funded venture. Most these schools are based on the franchise format. One glaring aspect that becomes apparent is the lack of central controlling body or organisation that regulates and oversees the operation of these preschools. Most of these preschools have the freedom to decide every aspect of their function independently, including the monthly fees, preschooling hours, schedule of vacations, childhood philosophies and the methods of discipline used within the classroom.

Buy a Franchise

For potential investors and businessmen, the education franchising sector offers immense growth opportunities. However, once a decision to buy a franchise has been made, the potential franchisee needs to clarify some points necessary to become a successful franchisee. How Franchising Works? In order to become a profitable franchisee, it is better to have a grasp over the basic franchise concepts. To buy a franchise may appear like a simple task to accomplish, but it isn’t that straightforward. There are many different franchising formats. For example, an investor has to decide which franchise format would be easier to manage and more profitable. There is a choice between manufacturing and business-format franchise. Some people are content with selling a brand, i.e. brand franchising. Interested to Open a School? Call +91-9810775842 A potential investor should know about: •    Franchisee-franchisor relationship •    Limitations in a franchise set-up How to Buy a Franchise? The most important evaluation has to be about an investor’s individual financial status. Other important aspects of planning to buy a franchise include: •    Financing options — these options could be provided by the franchisor himself. Usually, once an investor is related to a particular brand, it becomes easier to avail finances from banks and credit institutions. •    Franchise agreement — this is the defining document and the very sole of the franchise-franchisee relation. The agreement incorporates everything from the franchise fee to the extent of a franchisee’s rights. •    Franchise consultants — some people are confused about how to buy a franchise. Such potential investors could seek the help of a professional like a franchise consultant. Buy a franchise or franchisee? Some people prefer to buy a franchise opportunity directly from the franchisor and establish their own business, i.e. a new business set-up. This offers the opportunity to start fresh with your own space and infrastructure. On the other hand, there are investors who seek to buy a franchise that is already in operation. The investor benefits from a business format and infrastructure that has already been created and is actually in operation but to buy a franchise in the form of an existing franchisee has greater risks attached to it. A franchisee-owner selling his business has to explain the reasons for such a sale and his financial liabilities.

How to choose the Best Boarding School in India

Parents shouldn’t blindly believe in the reputation of a boarding school, when selecting one for their child. A particular brand of a boarding school may not have the kind of facilities that are well-suited to the child’s temperament. For example, the best boarding school in Shimla may not be able to offer the needs of a particular child despite its prestige and reputation. Core Curriculum — the most important factor to be considered while choosing a school has to be its curriculum. The curriculum should be comprehensive and exhaustive. Since, the students in a boarding school don’t often meet their parents, it is the responsibility of the parents to check upon the viability of syllabus and its suitability. The parents can even request for a copy of the school’s catalogue. Some schools have websites that showcase the highlights of their curriculum. Class Size — the parents have to evaluate a child’s personality and evaluate whether the child would prefer a large academic set-up or a smaller setting with increased personal attention. The staff-student ratio also indicates the level of attention that would be provided to each student in the class. Co-ed?— one major decision that parents need to make when choosing a schooling establishment for their child is regarding the choice between co-ed and same-sex boarding schools. For instance, a parent may come across the best boarding school in Shimla, but it could be a same-sex school, which for some parents isn’t a good choice as it decreases the chance to develop social skills with the opposite sex. Type of School — boarding schools are of different types. Some of them are affiliated with a religious belief, such as many Baptist and Catholic schools that are counted among the best boarding school in Shimla. Some parents are very stringent regarding their preference for a child to be educated under a particular faith. Extracurricular Activities — along with the educational curriculum and academic excellence of a boarding school, there should also be an emphasis on sports, music, arts, crafts, etc. to ensure the all-round development of a child. The availability and the nature of extracurricular activities in a school should be considered. A child may have particular talents and choosing a school that doesn’t have the facilities to develop these talents shouldn’t be considered. School Environment — before finalising a boarding school, the parents should make at least one detailed visit to the school campus. This is the easiest method to gauge the environment of a school. Talking to some of the students, staff members and walking around the campus, noticing the better and the negative aspects regarding the infrastructure and the facilities can help the parents to make a better decision.

Children’s Day Celebrations in India

Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru’s Birthday on 14th November is fondly celebrated as Children’s Day in India, every year. Schools across the nation organise cultural events/activities for the students. Welfare organisations look forward for this opportunity to spread the awareness about their noble motives and enlighten people about the plight of the underprivileged children. While the children in the metros are fighting lifestyle diseases, their counterparts in the rural areas are faced with malnutrition and apathy towards their general welfare. The Day should be used to address the need for better childcare and healthcare facilities for the young generation across the nation.  Most educators have taken this opportunity to stress upon the importance of investing in education. Other requisites are secondary in nature, the first and foremost factor along with their healthcare needs is the provision of proper primary education — laying a foundation for their lives. In terms of literary contributions, nearly 100 books written by Astrid Lindgre — the Sweden grandmaster of children’s literature, were released by Oxford University Press as their Children’s Day initiative. The book has had phenomenal following since 1945 and has been translated in over 90 languages across 60 countries.

Centre For History Awareness

The Central government is very keen on raising the knowledge about the nation’s glorious past among the children and youth. This realisation has come about as the nation’s history is looked upon as textbook subject by a majority of children. In fact, the recent trend indicates a shift of interest levels towards the history of the West, i.e. USA, even when the youth is totally ignorant of their own vast and glorious history. Such sentiments were expressed during the celebrations of the Bahadur Shah Zafar Birth Anniversary that was convened by the Centre for Freedom Struggle Studies, IGNOU. There were three main points that were stressed upon. These included exhuming the mortal remains of the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, construction of a national monument in Delhi in honour of martyrs who had died fighting the British and updating the history books that tend to create an impression that Bahadur Shah Zafar had surrendered to the British. The forum felt that the correction of misplaced facts would also help to strengthen the Hindu-Muslim harmony.

Nursery Admissions Begin in Delhi

Most of the Delhi-based nursery schools have announced the onset of the new admission session. This time there is a slight difference in the admission schedule of pre-primary schools. The nursery admissions have begun in some schools only and would be followed by the other schools, unlike the usual practice of numerous preschools announcing their admissions simultaneously. This will help the parents to avoid rushing to each school, be more relaxed and take a more informed decision regarding the admission of their child. This makes a lot of sense, keeping in view the ever-increasing realisation of the need for good schooling before entering primary education.

Boost For Tourism/Hospitality Education

The Indian tourism industry has faced an annual scarcity of 2,00,000 trained professionals. The current system offers only 12,000 trained people. Taking this problem into consideration, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, CCEA has approved the proposal for broadening the scope for better infrastructure and more trained manpower resources. As a result, new educational institutes will be created in the key areas of tourism and hospitality. Even the existing polytechnics and universities would be upgrading to offer hospitality/tourism-related courses. This would translate into the strengthening of the currently-operational establishments like the IHMs and Food Craft Institutes. Some of these institutes would be turned into centres of excellence for the above-mentioned courses.

Tibetan Students in India, Harassed

Many Tibetan children, studying in India, are being harassed by the Chinese authorities. This problem arose as an ultimatum issued by the Communist Party of China expired. The students and their families are facing stiff punishments imposed by the Chinese government for enrolling in schools in India which were run by the Tibetan government.

Abhinav Bindra targeting towards Education Sector

Abhinav Bindra doesn’t seem satisfied with being India’s first-ever individual gold medalist at the Olympics held at Beijing. He now plans to open a chain of more than 500 schools across the nation. The Bindra family plans to directly monitor the schools that would be operational in Punjab, but the schools in other states would be run on a franchise basis. AS Bindra, father of Abhinav Bindra and the patriarch of the Bindra business empire, stated that the schools would be built and run on international standards and would have a special emphasis on sports facilities. In all probability, the schools would be named as Abhinav Bindra Ace Public School (ABAPS). The presence of so many branches in the country would mean that a child shifting from one city to another would find it relatively easier to gain admission in a branch of ABAPS. The motto of the proposed schools, as announced by Abhinav, sounds like his mantra in life — ‘Fortune favours the brave’.

US Educators travel to India in Search of Gandhian Principle

Educators and Teachers from U.S. travelled across India in search of the teachings of Gandhi. All of it was made possible with the support of Oakton Community College and the famous U.S. education funding agency, Fulbright-Hays Group Studies. The five week seminar “In Search of Gandhi’s India” led 14 professors and teachers from U.S., to reach and journey through India. As published by a news website of Sun-Times News group, “Traveling across India, we (the group that reached India) discovered a highly complex portrait of Mahatma Gandhi. While celebrated and marginalized at the same time by India’s political establishment and government institutions, we found Gandhi’s vision and ideas alive and vibrant in India’s many movements to protect the environment, in efforts to nurture India’s unique and diverse cultures and languages, and in numerous programs to address the problems of the rural poor.” In many schools and education institutes, teachings of great leaders are incorporated in the curriculum, so that students can have an insight about them and their contributions. In contemporary education, such teachings are considered as vital as they strengthen the leadership fabric in the students and scholars. The team that reached here received cooperation and support from various institutions and educationists based in India. The team also interacted with literary experts, social activists and IT professionals.

Google’s Cyber Crime Awareness Programme Reaches Kolkata Schools

Sometime back, as part of their obligation to the public, Google India started an awareness programme directed to increase the awareness of young people about cyber crime and best use of Internet. The initiative ‘BeNetSmart’ was started earlier and as a part of this initiative the recent programme was held in the nine schools in Kolkata. In the awareness programme, students are told about best web practices and also about crimes related to the misuse of Internet and websites. There is no strict protocol or law in practice so far that can properly deal with many issues pertaining to cyber crime in India. Though measures against cyber crime have been taken into cognizance, yet the enforcement agencies cannot stop the large-scale misuse or abuse of the Internet. Students also happen to be the right choice for the initiative, as proper education will help in a great way to tackle the problems arising from the misuse of technologies.

CBSE vs ICSE:The Right Choice for Your Child

Much like the socio-economic diversity in India, school education also offers a multifaceted model. Overall, the schooling in India is split in different levels – primary, secondary and senior secondary. The school age begins once the child is three years old and is normally completed at the age of sixteen. The secondary and senior secondary level, from grade VIII to XII is the most important, in terms of career goals and achievements. There is often a wide debate on accrediting the best school and the best board governing the secondary and senior secondary education system. The question –What is better for the child, CBSE or ICSE, often becomes serious for the parents, as it is the children who have to decide. So far as CBSE or ICSE are concerned, one has to know about their structure and how they function, so as to arrive at any positive conclusion. Technically speaking, CBSE and ICSE cannot be clubbed together, as the former refers to the board and the latter to an examination conducted by a different education board. Let us examine the two boards and see what do they offer. CBSE and CISCE CBSE or Central Board of Secondary Education is one of the most popular school boards in India. The board is responsible for preparing the syllabus for class 9 to 12th, secondary and senior secondary level. Another important function of CBSE is to conduct examinations based on the prescribed syllabus. It is a recognized board and its syllabus incorporates the national curriculum as well as additional subject matter. The board conducts two examinations – All India Secondary School Examination, AISSE (Class X) and the All India Senior School Certificate Examination, AISSCE (Class XII). ICSE on the other hand is one of the two examinations conducted by yet another board, CISCE or Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination. It is similar to AISSE conducted by the CBSE. Its (CISCE’s) equivalent for AISSCE is the Indian School Certificate or ISC. The Medium of Instruction The first and foremost dissimilarity between the two boards is the medium of instructions approved by the board. CBSE approves both English and Hindi language as the medium of instruction. While, on the other hand, CISCE or ICSE does not recommend Hindi. Regular and Private Candidates CBSE is affiliated to a large number of schools all over India. The board allows both regular candidates, who study in the schools affiliated to CBSE, as well as private candidates from non-affiliated schools to appear in the exams. Contrary to this, ICSE does not allow a candidate who has not been studying in the schools affiliated to the CISCE. Recognition Both CBSE and CISCE are self-financing education institutions. However, CBSE is recognized by Indian Government and CICSE is not. Although the certificates provided by both of them are globally valid, yet CBSE has a better footing in the subcontinent than ICSE. The ISC by CISCE is recognized by many foreign education systems as equivalent to senior examination or high school. Therefore, students qualifying ISC are not required to go for bridge courses while seeking admission in colleges abroad. Syllabus The syllabus prepared by CBSE is more suitable for qualifying in various entrance examinations, including the medical and engineering professional exams. The syllabus of ICSE is more detailed and requires the student to remember a lot. CBSE is comparatively easier than ICSE. Assessments One more point of distinction between the two boards is the evaluation and assessment of students. In ICSE, internal assessments are vital and practical tests are aggregated with the overall scores. ICSE lays more emphasis on lab work. Environmental Education The ICSE has made it compulsory to include environmental education as one of the subjects. CBSE does not ask for the same. Other than examinations and syllabus, the two boards are engaged in a number of education related activities. Research and Development is the secondary initiative taken by CISCE. CBSE also has been engaged in similar exercises, including the research on creating better learning environments for the students.

IIT Worried About Not Getting Raw Talent From JEE

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) is the most prestigious institute in India for pursuing engineering studies. Lacs of students take part in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and only handful of them are selected for these premier institutes. In recent years, the number of students reaching the merit threshold has increased significantly. Is this a healthy sign of fair education policy and better education system or is it something else? Some of the IIT caretakers feels the other way. They are concerned over missing the raw talent of the country behind JEE. Today, thousands of coaching institutes have popped up in every corner of the country, giving coaching to IIT aspirants and helping them crack the exam with minimum efforts. These students get well equipped by practicing anticipation of paper pattern and solving similar pattern of problems. The result is that some of the raw talents of the country remains behind in the race and these paper cracking aspirants takes the front seat. IIT caretakers are aware and concerned of this fact and some of them have even suggested to completely change the structure of Joint Entrance Examinations.

Qualities of the Best Franchisee

Business franchising has proved to be a successful model to expand vigorously and within a small time period. We now have both product franchise and service franchise, made popular by the franchisors and the franchisee that work for common goals. As any popular brand decides to go for franchise model, the provider or franchisor often conceives the idea of a good franchisee. Most product and service franchisors favour the qualities and attributes of the franchisee that is hard working and honest. But that is not all. A franchisee that likes and endorses the business model personally is deemed to prove a good one. Unless the franchisee loves the business he is into, the growth opportunities are apparently limited. Interested to Open a School? Call +91-9810775842 After personal endorsements and liking, comes the commitment. The franchisee must be committed to make his business a success story. Sometimes, it happens that franchise owners are too much disinterested and are entirely dependent on franchisor’s support and assistance. Such franchisee makes little progress, as the motivation and drive to excel regardless of assistance and support is missing. Franchisee must also be straightforward and honest. Attritions between franchisee and franchisor results in acrimonious relations, which is not a good sign for the healthy development of business for both the parties. The two have to have a mutual consensus and work for the benefit of all. Here is a checklist to help while awarding franchisee the opportunity to represent the brand: Past record or experience in the same or similar business Relations with previous partners or employers Individual financial strength of the one claiming franchisee Awareness about and inclination towards particular service or product Affinity for particular brand Business franchising is one sure shot for success. Those who miss, do not aim for the right spot. Chat on Whatsapp +91-9810775842 for more Details

Admissions and Child Distress

The race to colleges and universities has become fierce and students are facing tough times after qualifying their examinations. A comparison of the students pursuing higher education post liberation period shows that there has been an increase of over 25 times. The anxiety about making it to the best colleges and universities has adversely affected the behaviour of the students. According to one report published in a major daily, the students in one of the popular metropolitan cities, Mumbai, are facing very hard situations as they fail to get enrolled in the junior colleges. Even students who have secured over 80 per cent do not stand a chance. It has been reported that a large number of students are now seeking the psychiatric help to get over the distress and anxiety. The government has shown some interest and is working on a permanent solution. But that seems to take some time. The dearth of colleges and institutes can be one of the main reasons for the crisis. With enough junior colleges, students can at least join in one of them and not waste their time hoping endlessly. The margin that determines as to who would be the lucky one, is very small and insignificant. Often it happens that some friends in any batch get through, leaving others desperate and frustrated. Can establishment of large number of Colleges be of any help? Most of the students and experts believe that it sure will make a difference, as students will get more avenues and places to join. However, some students disagree and are of the opinion that the real race is for the best colleges & best career options. They believe that the volume of the colleges offering professional courses and training be increased. Students’ admission even after securing good marks is a great concern. Every individual must come forward and contribute to find a lasting solution.

Common Mistakes Parents Do While Handling Children

Parents often find it hard to handle the problems related to teens. It is the age when the children undergo behavioural changes as they rapidly progress towards adolescence. There are many times when the parents and the children have to face unusual situations. Proper handling of all matters at this age is crucial as the reaction of parents may directly affect the behaviour of the child. Image Credit: Jekkyl Here are some common mistakes that parents often commit while handling their teens. Preach But Do Not Practice – It is one of the most common problems that make things all the more worse. Parents preach and lecture a lot, but do not follow their own preaching. Teens are very sensitive in nature and in this age they try to discover their own identity and want to be more independent. Make sure that you follow your own preaching; else you may fall into very embarrassing situation if pointed by your teen. Too Busy To Spend Time With Them – Teenagers need guidance the most. They reach a stage where personality development and character building takes a shape. Parents who do not devote enough time to their children at this age often repent later. Expect Too Much – Parents are well aware of the capabilities of their child. Setting unrealistic goals for them and expecting more than their capabilities puts extra pressure on them. Demanding parents are more likely to commit such mistakes. Ignore the Warning Signals – Often parents fail to pick unusual behaviour and sudden changes in their child’s daily routine. Sleeping late night, sudden regress in school grades, drowsiness are some of the alarming signals that every parent must take care of. Teens at this age are more prone to indulge in smoking, drinking, drugs and sex. A vigilant parent should be able to pick any suspicious behaviour in their child and should take appropriate action. Protection after Doing Wrong – Some parents protect their children even if the children have done some wrong or are caught in a wrong practice. This encourages the child, especially teenager, to go ahead with such practices. Child Beating – Some parents go to the extent that they actually beat their child. One slap in such a sensitive age can change the whole life of the child. Beating never helps and is considered to be rather an awful practice. It is better to have a verbal argument with the child than go for such a dire step.

Secret To Create A Stress Free Environment For Your Kids

At times your child may feel stressed and uncomfortable if proper environment is not provided. Following are some tips to create a stress free environment in your home. Allow and Invite Friends – Do not hesitate to let your child socialize with his friends and invite them to the house. It develops a social circle, which is very essential for healthy growth of your child. Celebrate Occasions – Not just birthdays, but celebrate every little occasion in the house, whether painting of house has completed or new area of home yard has been developed. Celebrating every moment of life strengthens the bond between family members. Family Dinner – It is one of the most important practices that every family must follow as a daily routine. Dinner table is the best place to discuss and opine about family matters. Everyone can share their experiences of the day and can exchange useful ideas. Helping Hand – Every member of the family should look forward to contribute in any way to create a harmonic environment. Reasons to Laugh – Doctors say, “Laughter is the best medicine”. Watch some funny TV shows with your children and crack jokes at the teatime. It helps in diffusing any tension in the house and develops a happy atmosphere at home. Listen and Reciprocate – Always listen to your child. Children often get dejected because their parents are too busy with the work and household chores. Parents have to listen to their children and also respond in a way that makes them feel that their problem or issue was properly addressed. Don’t Take a Side – Children get more frustrated if they find the parents supporting the sibling. Don’t involve yourself when the children are competing or contending. Remain neutral and advise all of them at the same time. Don’t Micromanage at home – You may miss on some details and allow the children to take care of them. The children must feel free to express themselves. Overindulgence makes the children feel irritated. But, maintain a close watch. Yoga – Practicing Yoga will make your child feel stress free and healthy. Parents themselves can take the initiative and lead them to healthy routines.

Impact Of Media: Teaching Teens To Handle It Rightly

Today almost every teen in metropolis and even in small towns has access to media channels (Internet, cell-phones, television) and they are used to it. A recent study by Gartner Group shows that teens are spending on an average 44.5 hours per week browsing Internet, talking on cell phones and watching TV. It is more than what they spend in school in whole week. The issue is not just the amount of time spent, but also what they are getting from these media channels. Make Your Move Teens hate to be monitored every minute by their parents. They are at a very crucial stage of their life and want more freedom & decision making authority for themselves. Keeping a watch on their activities requires some tricks and a lot of patience. Good and Bad Content It is not debatable as whether the content on the popular channels or media like Internet is appropriate or not. People have been debating over issues like moral policing of the children. Modernization has been confused with values and norms, resulting in the inculcation of negative behavioural traits in the new generation of youngsters. Internet – bane or boon The content on the Internet has been the most abused as viewing restrictions are not applicable. No doubt, the technology has changed the outlook and the learning capacity of the children, but numerous cases of abuse of the content have also been reported. Parental Help For monitoring the Internet activities of your children you can install software like KeyLogger. Parents who are more aware about technology can use the service and set a simple filter to block porn sites or sites containing inappropriate content. Creating a day schedule from early childhood solves most of the problems. Unfortunately, most parents do not pay attention to it. It is always advisable to give some space to your teen and at the same time be vigilant about his activities. The safe use and misuse of technology will always be an issue. But, there is a lot we can do to prevent our children from falling into the wrong activities.

Disaster Management: Educating The Masses

The day was 26th January 2001 and the country was busy preparing for the celebrations of the 51st Republic Day, when a natural disaster shook the country and devastated the Gujarat state. About 20,000 people died. On Dec 26, 2004, one of the deadliest catastrophes hit the coastal region in Asia. About 2,25,000 lives were lost as a result of the destruction by Tsunamis. In the morning hours of October 8, 2005 one more cataclysmic earthquake hit the north of Indian landmass and adjoining country Pakistan. More than 80,000 people died. Image Credit: eb78 All these events that resulted in havocs have impelled many people and representations to think about solutions and handling the crisis as it occurs, in a better way. The most talked about concept has been disaster management. Its importance got so much magnified in the past decade that hundreds of agencies were set forth to arrive at possible solutions. Our education institutions also provided their helping hand and introduced education programmes related to disaster management. Disaster management has become quite popular, nothing less than a cliché. Its importance and growing popularity can further be estimated by its recent incorporation in the CBSE and ICSE high school syllabi. All this points out to the fact that the country is trying to educate the masses as how to handle crisis situations and save human lives. At the moment the trailblazers in the new field are of the opinion that knowledge sharing is the best way to avert the maximum damage. By imparting knowledge to the people, who are prone to such risks or people living in areas where seismic activity and other natural disasters are more likely to hit, many lives can be saved. The same idea has been conceived the education institutions that are trying to educate the people as how to survive in those trying times. As there is no guarantee about the contingency plans, the mass mobilization and sharing of knowledge seems to be the best precaution.

Why Education is Still a cause of concern in India?

In the pre-independence era, the status of education in India was far too inferior and needed a lot of improvement. The parameter used to define and describe the education status was literacy rate. At that point of time, the situation was such that illiteracy was better recognized than literacy: the literacy rate in 1951 (after independence) was mere 18 per cent. Even in that small figure, gender disparity was high and female literacy recorded was about 8 per cent. In the post-independence era, the government laid stress on the development of education infrastructure and make education available to all. One of the top priorities of the government, from time to time, as one can see in the five-year plans and other programmes initiated by the government, was to educate everyone in the country and reduce the illiterate population to zero. More than 60 years have passed and the dream of 100 per cent literate population continues to be a dream. Earlier experts had projected that 100 per cent literacy would be achieved in a couple of decades after independence. Despite all efforts, we are still lingering with about 70 per cent of the total population literate. It makes to seriously think over this issue as why education continues to be a concern. It would be a misjudgment to say that government policies or plans failed despite all efforts. If we take the entire picture then it becomes clear as why we are still lagging in the education sector. The first and foremost factor is the massive population. Population growth since 1951 has limited the scope of the plans, as was projected then. Also, education was not the only concern or field where development was utmost felt. Indian industry had a shocking time and a good part of the GDP was spent on modernizing and improving the industrial infrastructure. As per the stats, the number of school children in the primary school increased to more than seven times from 1951 to the present day. The increase for secondary level has been 25 times and for higher studies it is 70 times. One more reason for the slow growth witnessed in education field has been the immobilization of the resources in rural areas and remote places.

Accreditation Body For The Schools In India

So far the primary and secondary education institutes in India have strived to stay put to their own standards. Private schools and government-aided schools have set forth their own standards regarding school governance and therefore have remained away from a universal accreditation system. However, the foremost accreditation agency of India, Quality Council of India, has started approaching the schools to get accredited. The board, called National Accreditation Board of Education and Training, has developed the procedures for schools that seek the accreditation. Schools have to apply for the accreditation process, which is followed by the inspections and assessment by a team of professionals from the agency. Schools are supposed to be fully prepared for the inspections as the inspection team checks even minute details. In case the school or governance is found as non-standard the school is given suggestions to act upon. If the school succeeds in plugging the loopholes and provides the best practices, the school is awarded the accreditation. Is School Accreditation Necessary? School accreditation is not obligatory. But by getting accredited the schools can enhance and improve the quality governance and management in the school. The accreditation provides uniform standards and also helps in identifying well managed and provided schools in India. The system is based on similar pattern as those in US, Netherlands and Australia. The agency has a checklist and awards score to the respective schools. Some important parameters in the checklist include: Education Quality Management Governance and Management Resource Management Education Service Realization The school accreditation, once it is awarded is applicable for four years and after that renewal is sought by the agency.

Times Of India Starts Its Teach India Campaign

One of the leading and prime media organizations, Times of India, has stepped in the social domain and is trying to spread the means of education for the undereducated children in India. The media organization has started its campaign called “Teach India” with the objective to bridge the gap between those who can educate and those who need education. Teach India will try to connect the people who have the desire and commitment to teach the children who cannot afford formal education. The media organization has liaison with a large number of civil action groups or NGOs. These groups will facilitate the educational programmes and the inputs would be provided by the media organization. Teach India is considered as a social initiative that aims at enhancing the education provisions in the country. School dropout cases and the education status for low-income groups is one of the major issues that have slackened the growth and development. The government is also trying its best to put more number of children in the garb of education. Any person who is interested to teach the undereducated children can contact the organisation, which will further recommend and forward the request to the nearest social action group. The action group will provide the programme details.

Criteria For Choosing The Right Pre School For Your Child

When your child is 2+, as a parent, one of the most important decisions is to make the right choice of pre school for your child. This is so because attaining quality education has become the need of the hour. Now–a–days, a number of schools with varied facilities have come up. Hence, it has become difficult for the parents to make the correct choice. Some of the most common questions asked by majority of parents are: Interested to Open a School? Call 91+9560809732 Which is the right school for my child? What are the facilities available? What are the previous results? Who are the organizers? Are they educationists? What are their qualifications? Will my child be happy?  As 50% of the brain development takes place during the prime growth years of the child, i.e. 2-4 years, it is critical that you make the right decision so as to ensure that your child receives the right foundation for life. Image credit: Shemrock Call the preschools you might be interested in and set up a time to visit. You should probably make an appointment for your first visit to the pre school, so that you can be assured that the Headmistress will be there and that you will not short staff them while someone shows you around. Some of the questions that you might want to ask during the telephonic conversation are listed as follows: Is there an opening for my child? What are your pre school hours? Where is your pre located? Do you provide transportation? Do you give the children meals or snacks? When can I visit your pre school? During that first visit, carefully observe while discussing in more detail some of the questions you have already asked or others that concern you. When you visit the branch, see if Children appear happy, content and actively engaged with what they are doing. There are several other factors that should be taken into consideration while making one of the most important choice: Firstly, keeping in view the travel time, pollution on the roads, safety and stress on the child, the pre school should be near to the child’s home. So, parents are advised, that they should seek admissionsin a pre school which is near to their house, in line with the neighborhood policy and not make their child travel long distances at this age. You should also consider preschools that offer a safe and nurturing environment for your child. When you drop a child off for pre school, you want to be assured that she or he will have the nurturing and learning environment they deserve, leaving you with the ability to concentrate on your work responsibilities. You should check whether, you’ll receive weekly progress reports, the ability to walk in or call at any time of the day, a structured curriculum tailored to your child and more. Looking at the facilities, firstly the activity rooms should be well equipped with sufficient material. The environment, furniture and the activity material should be colourful & safe with a neat, clean and child friendly ambiance. The facilities should be such that your child can use and enjoy and are not just decoration pieces. The preschool setting should be safe, adequately lit and maintained to a good standard of hygiene. There should be a broad range and generous supply of toys and equipment easily accessible to children and adequate personal space for children to play. Children deserve comfortable, well-equipped premises that are carefully looked after. Children should be able to see toys, books and fun equipment & reach some of it themselves. Fresh, healthy food and snacks should be available. Image credit: Shemrock Organizers and the staff are the backbone of any institute. So, the parents should look for a pre school organized by a team of well – educated, knowledgeable professionals with the right aptitude and love for children. It is important that the school system has been designed by and is run by reputed educationists. The Pre school should have a well–designed, well coordinated and planned system as it becomes easy for the  children. The Pre school should have a systematic pattern to continuously update its system with the latest techniques and also to keep themselves upgraded with the changing requirements of the society and the child. Working with children is a skilled and demanding job. The teachers should have the special qualities that distinguish a good teacher i.e. patience and understanding. They should be creative, innovative and resourceful, so as to satisfy a child’s curious mind. The staff should be selected systematically by the school authorities and have regular orientations and trainings on the latest teaching methodologies. Training gives people skills and confidence. It helps staff to deliver a top quality service to your child. On visiting the branch, notice if the staff has been genuinely caring, has a friendly relationship with the children, it should have a calm atmosphere with no raised voices. You would also want your child to be prepared well for senior school admissions so, you should ask if the preschool conducts mock interviews for parents and children, mock interviews of the children by external teachers, organizes parenting workshops & orientation sessions by experts. Also, you may enquire about picnics, outings, cultural functions, sports days etc. and whether there will be any additional charges for the same. Some preschools tend to ask money for stationery, picnics and other things later on which you should clarify right at the onset. A preschool which commits that there will be no charges for such things later on is a wiser choice rather than going in for one with hidden costs. Consider the number of Years of experience the  pre school has in the education  industry. The older schools have experience of handling a variety of children and you will benefit from the rich understanding of child psychology. Another thing to check out before choosing the preschool for your child is the performance of the school’s alumni in senior schools. You can talk to other parents on how happy their children were in the pre school and

Benefits Of Starting A School

Non-cyclical sector: Being a necessity of life, the education industry has little fluctuations in its operations; therefore, it is not affected by downturns in the economy. For example, people will stop eating out but will not compromise on the quality of their child’s education, in case of a financial crunch. Rapid growth: With increasing awareness of the importance of education, people are willing to pay more for quality education and this trend will get stronger as the service economy grows. No bad debts: There is no threat of bad debts as no credit is given in this sector and all fees are received in advance. Low operational costs: Most of the costs are variable costs. Hence, in the first few months you are not burdened with high costs like salaries. These go up as the number of children in the branch increase. Immense satisfaction: More than the monetary returns, it is the sense of satisfaction that you have made a difference to the lives of so many children! It is a great feeling when parents come to thank you for the impact you have made in their child’s life. Convenient working hours: The operational hours are from 8:00-2:30, thereby, giving you ample time to be with your family and enjoy the fruits of your labour. Positive environment: In education, everyone is addresses by “ma’am and sir” which is a positive and safe environment, especially for women. Unlike some other sector where you encounter all kinds of people; some of them may not be the most pleasant. Respect in the community: One gets a lot of respect in the community, for the role one plays in the development of the children and for the contribution one makes to the society.

Ideally, it should be in a decent residential location with a sizeable population in the immediate vicinity. You should also budget for cash for 6 months by which preschools normally break even. Senior Secondary School: You should check the minimum requirements in terms of area and construction from the school board you are planning to get the affiliation from. The thumb rule for size is – the further your land is from the city- the bigger it should be to enable you to offer more facilities than what city schools may be offering in limited area. You should also budget in cash for 2 years as the break even normally happens by the third year.

Privatization In The Indian Education Sector

The elephant needs to go on ! India, with a population of 1.2 billion has been riding the IT & ITES boom which has been powered by skilled English speaking manpower & IT skills. Now, with shortage of skilled manpower, our country including our government is focusing on nurturing the future generations to fuel future growth. Thus, we are seeing an increasing thrust of the government to involve private players for developing the plight of education in the country. This ease of regulations for starting an educational institution has resulted in a rapid growth of private educational institutes from preschools to universities being setup. However, quality is something that privatization alone cannot guarantee. With greater information exchange through the media and the internet, students and parents are more aware of standards & options. Further, people are realizing the need for better quality education, the education sector is also being challenged to innovate and create more effective & efficient education systems. This market choice will ensure that only quality players will survive. Or will an education regulatory work ? Should it be a government owned or independent ?
