10 Tips To Make Your Child a Genius

First I wish to explain this term 'Genius', yes! ofcourse one has to know what it is inorder to achieve or implement it. So here goes the definition,  A Genius has An exceptional intellectual or creative power, I am still in need of explaining it in detail, about both of the terms 'Intellectual' and 'Creative', Intelligence is something an ability to apply knowledge and creativity is generating new ideas. Hence the parents have to be clear in these two ideas, one is your child's ability to apply his/her knowledge and the skill of producing new ideas. 

So let us go to the topic "10 Tips To Make Your Child a Genius "

The first 5 will concentrate on Intelligence

1. Try to explain things by being an example: This is one of the best thing to do with children. For example: Keep things in appropriate places by yourself and the children will grow these habits by themselves.

2. Introduce New things: By showing new objects everyday children will learn things unintentionally. This is not that meant you have to buy new toys everyday but show things you get by nature like show different kinds of pulses and grains in home

3. Allow to Explore: Give the necessary space  to the kids, allow them to touch the knife and match box while you are near to them and say how to use it and stamp that it is not good to use it while they are alone and keep those things away when you aren't accompany the kid.

4. Teach them the Good and Bad: It is very important for a child to know what is right and what is wrong. When you insist things while they did  something wrong, explain them why it is wrong and what are the consequence they face after doing it say it with firm not with hateness.

5. Keep their brain active: This is the ultimate thing of all, the brain develops 95 % from 0 to 5 years so it is most important to keep their brain active with tiny information which allow them to think logical

The next concern about the creativity skill development

6. Sing and Dance: It is not funny to dance and sing along with them, it is necessary. Like a quote says " A Child who Sings is a Happy Child". 

7. Read Books to them: When you do this half of your worry about your parenting is resolved. Reading to them before they even speak will allow the child to create a bond with books, once it is happened you will see wonders.

8. Paint Wall: There is no need to restrict kids not to scribble in the wall. It is just a cost of paint. Avoid buying junk foods, save money and paint the wall once in a year. 

9. Being Wrong is OK: Teach this basic skill to your kid, the idea of being right is the core important factor but also it is OK to be wrong at times and learning from those mistakes are much needed for life.

10. Listen to them: Yes, the last one is for you. Listen to your children even when you are busy and they are silly. Allot a period of time everyday to talk with your child. Ofcourse! you had time to read this article but not having time to converse with your kid is unfair.

Why Your Children Are Not Listening To You?? Did You Know??

Understanding the facts rather than judging the mistakes are much more important when it comes to parenting. Misunderstandings are not only happen between a couple but it may happen with you and your one year old kid. The way children seeing the world is far differ from the adults perspective yet this doesn't mean that the children are always wrong and the parents are always right. We are having the responsibility to co-operate with them as our ancestors did to us. 

Obviously all of us know about this topic a bit, because as a child we often did this to our parents. Actually every parent has to believe that this problem is not a problem at all. But still it is important to be aware of the answers for this question Why Our Children Are Not Listening To Us? Many children and parents are facing this issue in the current world more than the period before a decade. This post will help you all to know about the base cause for this attitude in children, when we understand the reasons behind the problems, it will be easy for us to handle it. 


Happy Kids!

I wish to ask this question to you all, do you want a happy kid or a perfect kid? Most probably the answer will be the first option, we all want our children to be happy as they are all. Happiness, joy, aggression, jealousy, ego, domination and possessiveness are major emotions of children in their childhood stage. The parents must understand that the kids have the rights to get angry, even how little they may be they are also human beings so they must be controlled by emotions.

The Value of Suggestions

When you want your child to do something give them more number of options so that they can know the alternatives, this will be very helpful for decision making when they grow up. Most of the parents just command or declare their wish, for example 'We are going to the playground today", may the child doesn't feel like going to the ground they might interested in colouring or watching cartoons. So whenever you take decisions even it is small include them hence they will feel that they are being valued.

Know the Mood of the Kid

Unpleasant things happen to children in so many ways, even a small thing like loosing their favorite pencil will spoil the temper of the child. So when children are keep on playing in the mobile or tablet, try to divert their interest in something. Cook their favorite food and make them participate in the preparation of the dinner and reward or appreciate them for the contribution they made. 

Enjoy the Home works!!

If the child is not interested in doing the home work just close the book, Yes! truly saying do not force them. Be an example, you engage yourself with some routine works, during that time ask them to do their work this will surely help for children who don't like to do home works. Poke the curiosity of learning by saying and showing interesting things, children are very much interested in knowing the facts about themselves like about their body, home towns and their belongings, they are very self concerned. So practice the habit of doing home works with the bit of facts. For example, talk about the sun and earth or talk about animals. Take them to planetariums and zoos often, don't just concentrate on the syllabus alone.

If you have tried these all, not over protecting, not commanding, knowing their interest, knowing their mood and tried the alternatives to make them understand what you say and what you want them to do and still if they didn't listen to you then you have to consult a counselor to get a personalized advice. Happy Parenting!!

kindergarten Readiness: Is your child ready for school?

Each child is unique but there are some common things exist among them. The young children of age 2 to 3 are always curious about new things, they easily observe their surroundings and makes the whole family wonder about their intelligence. These behaviors of the kids will make the parents to think that "Is my child ready for school". Absolutely don't hesitate to take this thought serious, every parent has the duty to do the best to their children. But sending them to school before they acquire several essential skills will surly create a bad impression about schooling and learning, and that will be very hard to handle both for the parents and teachers.

Here are some crucial checklist for the young parents :) 

1. Communication: When your children are apart from you, they might not able to ask for the things they need. For example: The child may not want to play with the building blocks or they might be interested of wheeling toys. In those cases the kid must be able to ask for what she/he needs, might not be as a sentence but words are enough for the teachers or the care takers to understand him. If the child is not willing or unable to communicate, that will create a loneliness within him. It might affects his emotions and that can be lead to a negative impact on the school life.

2.  Handle the Separation: This is one of the major thing the parent should know. The child must be able to tolerate the separation from the parent, because everything around the child will be very new and different; this will make him to feel insecure. The parents must speak to him about the school and its environment, don't say it in the way they afraid. Your words will create an imaginary vision of the school, tell them in the school he is going to get new friends and toys. The child will surly excite about the fresh things, it won't be a strange experience for him/her to face.

3. Finger Grip: In most of the kindergarten and nursery schools the child must trace or color in the initial stage of the academic year. When the child don't have the finger grip, it will be tough for her to do things in the early stage. This is not meant that that child must have practice of tracing and colouring in the home itself, there are many simple and naturals ways to develop their fine motor skills. Example: Pasting, buttoning, clapping, squashing, opening and closing the lid of the bottles.

4. Age: Even though the child is OK with the above points, the age is the foremost criteria to set. Although you are sending the children to playschool, she/he must be above two and a half year old. The child cannot concentrate and learn anything properly, even if they do, it won't be remembered for so long. Before two and a half is a pre-mature process, if it is a proper Kindergarten/nursery school the age of the children must be above three and a half.

 5. Self-help : One of the alarming thing to notice your child before school is Toilet-training, it is not a big issue to worry about. But in most of the conditions it is a prime point to consider. May the child feel uneasy about the teasing of their peers, because teasing and fear are most common behaviors in young children. They might start to control or even feel uncomfortable to say that to the teachers, it may lead to some physical problems so it is the duty of the parent to train them before school.

Kudos!! Now Your Child Is Ready For The School..
