Let me put it differently

My hobby is gardening. That is why the season of rain, greenery brings more joy to me. I love watching plants grow. I feel joyful when around lush greens. When  plants get best environmental conditions they grow and flourish well.

SAVE YOUR CHILD, BY STRETCHING HIS CHILDHOOD. A blog post by Roshni Shukla, Educator & Happy Parenting Coach on how small things can burden a child, if the activities are not age appropriate.

By profession, I am a preschool teacher, so I am always around lots of energy and positivity. I love watching toddlers grow and get ready for their formal schooling. Childhood is all about joy and happiness.

It is July, season of rain. Best time to plan, design, redesign, shift, your terrace, kitchen garden, balcony, front garden,back yard or any other place that you have. It is also best time for the Nursery owners and farmers to plan for upcoming season. It is July, also season for school admissions. Best time to plan admitting your 2-3 years old to his very first play school, shifting a 6 years old to a formal school, shifting a primary student to a middle school because you think the other school will do justice to your child, shifting a ninth grader to a school which provides better preparatory classes for tenth and higher studies, shifting your confused and still adjusting adolescent to coaching centres that produce a batch of adults with tired minds. It is also best time for parents to choose best subject for their eleventh grader, because, parents think their child is good at their choice of subject, and that very subject will decide the fate of your child. It is know fact, we, the parents know it all. We everytime know what is best for our child. We even know which are their choice of subjects.

Ok, let me not confuse you, with these long and complex sentences. Let’s just consider one part at a time.

Coming back to our gardeners, they put seeds first in green house, in seedling trays. They  make the environment suitable for these seedlings, so they could grow properly.

Similarly,  we admit our toddlers to a playschool or preprimary school setup. Yes, it is true that play schools and preprimary schools are places  which are designed keeping in mind the learning requirements to this age group. It provides separate setup, separate set of teachers, who are smiling, motherly and most importantly soft spoken. The curriculum also gives these schools the liberty to do things at a pace which is not too tiring for the child.  Just imagine if the gardener decides to put some of the seedlings in to the open garden area, within 15 days of their life. Nature is very kind, they will still grow. Gardener, might feel happy, that he has saved his time by shifting the seedlings early. But will this not put some stress to these seedlings? Gardener could have avoided that harsh Sun or heavy rains for few more days.

As parents, we have made plans for our child’s future, a timeline set for everything.

Some parents come to our school, trust us, follow the age criteria and admit their child accordingly.

Some parents come to us with better plans.

” Mam, my child is 2 and a half years old, but I know she is very active, so I request you to please admit her in a class higher than her age group.”

To this, we as teachers tell them, that it will just lead to alot of stress to your child. School will be a new place for her to adjust to. On top of that if she is admitted to a class where all the other children  are one year elder to her, she will have to adjust and cope up with that batch. A batch which is physically and mentally one year elder to her.

Some parents agree, and some don’t.

This lengthy writeup is addressed to all those who do not agree to our request. 

Trust me on this, at this early years of life, this difference in mental age counts.

Imagine this girl sitting in a class learning to hold a pencil in her grip, where everyone else has mastered the prewriting strokes. Oh! and this is not enough, she will be doing some extra effort at home to hold pencil and write, because, parents want her to catch-up with the class too.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

Be the patient Gardener, give your child, his time to grow, than shift him to the next setup.

Don’t be the gardener who just wanted to shift his seedlings in hurry.

DON’T SAVE YOUR TIME, BY STRESSING A CHILD.

जब आपका बच्चा स्कूल से टिफिन खाए बिना वापस आए तो इस्तेमाल करें यह 7 युक्तियां

1. मां- मेरी बेटी किंडरगार्टन के पहले वर्ष में है। वह स्कूल से टिफिन खा कर नहीं आती,क्या करूं?
बच्चा – स्कूल बच्चे के लिए नई जगह है, हर बच्चा अलग तरह से एडजस्ट करने की कोशिश कर रहा है। कुछ नए माहौल में अपनी मां को खोजते हैं, क्योंकि या तो उन्हें अपने आप खाने की आदत नहीं होती/ उस समय खाने की आदत नहीं होती/ टिफिन से खाना समझ नहीं आता/ दूसरे की टिफिन में कुछ ज्यादा अच्छा दिखता या इतने सारे नए चहरे दिखते हैं कि घर की याद में समझ नहीं आता क्या करें।इसके अलावा भी कई कारण हो सकते हैं।वैसे तो ऐसी परिस्थतियों में टीचर स्कूल में प्रयास करती होंगी, फिर भी कई बार बच्चे नहीं खाते। और घर लौटते तक भूख से इतने परेशान हो जाते हैं, की बहुत देर रोते और चिड़चिड़ापन होता है।क्या करें? : बच्चे को सुबह कुछ खिला कर स्कूल भेजें ताकि वो वहां प्रसन्नचित पहुंचे। टिफिन में उससे दिखा कर उसके पसंद का समान रखें। बच्चों को स्कूल भेजने की उम्र से पहले ही धीरे धीरे अपने हांथों के खाना सिखाएं।2. उनका स्कूल में दिन शुरू होने से पहले उन्हें बेहतर नाश्ता करवा कर भेजें।3. मां- टिफिन तो पसंद का ही भेजते हैं पर टिफिन फिनिष नहीं होता।
बच्चा – टिफिन खाऊं पूरा या खेलने जाऊं?क्या करें? : अक्सर स्कूल में लंच टाइम 20-25 मिनिट का होता है, ऐसे में छोटे बच्चों को वो टिफिन में दीजिए जिसे इतने समय में खाना उनके लिए आसान है। बहुत सूखा नाश्ता भी ना भेजें, गले में अटकता खाना बच्चे नहीं खा पाते। रोटियों पराठा का रोल, या हाथ में पकड़ कर खाने वाली चीजें बच्चों को आसान लगती हैं।4. उन्हें पीने के लिए शेक या फलों की स्मूदी दें। यदि आप टिफिन में सलाद जैसा कुछ रखते हैं तो सभी कच्ची सब्जियों को बहुत पतला काटें और उन्हें एक डिप के साथ परोसें (जैसे कि रेंच ड्रेसिंग, हुम्मस, बोर्सिन चीज़ स्प्रेड, गुआकामोल, क्रीम चीज़, सोया नट बटर)। सेब जैसे फलों को छीलें और उन्हें थोड़ा भूरा होने से बचाने के लिए थोड़ा नींबू का रस डाल कर सील करने योग्य कंटेनर में भेजें।संतरे या कीनू को पहले छील लें और सिर्फ स्लाइस पैक करें। फलों या पनीर को छोटे क्यूब्स में काटें, और साथ में कांटा रखें।5. मां- टिफिन में हर दिन क्या रखूं।
बच्चा – आज फिर ये टिफिन, मुझे नहीं खाना।क्या करें?: कोई भी मां इस एक काम को बड़े अच्छे से कर सकती है। टिफिन देखने में आकर्षक लगेगी तो बच्चे का खाने का मन होगा।6. सुनिश्चित करें कि आप अपने बच्चे को एक प्रोटीन, एक स्टार्च और एक फल या सब्ज़ी हर समय भोजन और नाश्ते में परोसें।

7. यदि बच्चा टिफिन के अलावा दिन के बाकी समय में प्रोटीन युक्त भोजन करेंगे तो उन्हें स्कूल में लो सुगर के थकान महसूस नहीं होगी। बच्चे कम चिड़चिड़े रहेंगे।यह युक्तियां आपके स्कूल के समय को घर पर बेहतर बनाने में आपकी मदद करेंगी।

सेब जैसे फलों को छीलें और उन्हें थोड़ा भूरा होने से बचाने के लिए थोड़ा नींबू का रस डाल कर सील करने योग्य कंटेनर में भेजें।

संतरा, कीनू को पहले छील लें और सिर्फ स्लाइस पैक करें।

फलों या पनीर को छोटे क्यूब्स में काटें, और साथ में कांटा रखें।

5. मां- टिफिन में हर दिन क्या रखूं। बच्चा – आज फिर ये टिफिन, मुझे नहीं खाना।

Similarly,  we admit our toddlers to homeschooling, a playschool or priprimary school setup. Yes, it is true that play schools, Preschool and Preprimary schools are places  which are designed keeping in mind the learning requirements to this age group.

Some parents agree to teachers point of view and some don’t.

This lengthy writeup is addressed to all those who do not agree to our request. 

Trust me on this, at this early years of life, this difference in mental age counts.

Imagine, at this prewriting age first day of school, girl is sitting in a class learning to hold a pencil in her grip, where everyone else has mastered the prewriting strokes.

She still has to develope her fine motorskills and hand-eye coordination.

Oh! this is not enough, she will be doing some extra effort at home to hold pencil and learning to write, because, parents want her to catch-up with the class too.

Homework pressure, and peer pressure at this age is too much to handle for a child.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

Be the patient Gardener, give your child, his time to grow.

Don’t be the gardener who just wanted to shift his seedlings in hurry.

DON’T SAVE YOUR TIME, BY STRESSING A CHILD.

We think we are doing it right. And the same situations comes many times. We unknowingly become hindrance to the growth of our child. And he has to face a lot of peer pressure. It repeats in school during the classes and at home. Children get homework, assignments, project work and many more activities for which student needs some guidance from parents. Let’s make their project solve the purpose, for what it was meant. Many times we as parents don’t do the way it should be done. To know common mistake that we do get for project work , please follow link: https://happyheartforeverhome.wpcomstaging.com/2019/07/14/make-it-precious-not-beautiful/
