Social Skills for Kids

The education system of this present generation demands a change for itself according to the need of the hour. Every school desires to incorporate a unique curriculum for its students, which shapes the character of the student and allows them to grow as wholistic human beings. In this stride, of self-proclaimed celibacy for the schools in town, the question of how to come across as being the best still keeps pondering around every school management. These day’s schools have started with social skills training for its students, which includes anger management, efficient listening skills, importance of leisure activities, self-grooming, recognize emotions, story-telling skills, etc.

Kids belonging to the age group of 11 to 14 years, who are undergoing a phase of hormonal changes, are usually the ones who tend to enclose themselves in a shell of shyness and insecurity of being inferior to other students around them. To inculcate a sense of belonging, love, acceptance and loving oneself in return are some of the most important factors that are focused upon while teaching social skills to this age group.

Under the criteria of leisure activities, the children are told of the importance of such activities and how it would be helpful for improving the concentration level in kids and also relinquishes the brain from the exhaustive work. The main aim of this activity is to give ample rest to the brain from its daily routine activity at school, which is impossible to achieve through the normal lecturing about this phenomenon. As students are used to listening to speeches from their teachers, so in order to stimulate the brain’s vital point’s activity related sessions should be organized so that the children feel elated to enjoy the classes and also wholeheartedly be able to participate in various activities as well as take home some values that they have learnt in these classes.

Anger, is quite a common phenomenon in kids these days, which has to be curbed at the right age else it can take a devious form in future. Anger management classes will help students to recognize these negative emotions in themselves and also help them to channelize these negative emotions into positive directions.

In Self-grooming, kids are usually divided into groups and given topics to discuss on, which reveal their levels of creativity. It also shows how they accustom themselves to teamwork. The advantages of positive thinking, willingness to listen to new ideas, have a open minded attitude towards others views is very much an integral part of delivering soft skill lessons so kids to help them to be nurtured and grow up into beautiful young adults in future.

Strengthening Parent Ward Relationship

Gone are those days of 9 to 5 jobs, when fathers would come home and after freshening up would start playing with their little ones. These days dad’s come home with a heavy load of work, tired looking face and a desire to be tucked into their beds until morning. In keeping up with their job requirements, parents often forget that they have young wide-eyed children, who are eagerly waiting their return every evening to show them their recent progress.

Parenting as all of us know is quite a tough job and involves a lot of patience, allegiance, hard work and effort. A good relationship is highly recommendable for parents, with their kids as it allows them to build a strong foundation of love, affection and trust between the two. In order to achieve these goals, one needs to be approachable enough for their kids, to be able to communicate freely to their kids.

This will permit the child to have confidence in themselves to talk before their parents, without any sort of inhibitions. The research survey studies have revealed that children normally develop a great bonding with their mother, as she is known to be a warm, caring and protective person. Fathers are the ones whom kids always like to imitate, especially boys.  These days spending time with children is restricted to providing them with all the cool gadgets, toys and PlayStation’s that parents can provide them with.

Psychologists who counsel young children, for their rude and inappropriate behaviour in school have come across after interviewing these children that these children are mostly rich neglected kids. Such kids often demand for attention from everywhere, since they do not receive it at their home, therefore, the only option they find to gain attention from is by getting into verbal and physical fights with other students.

It is often felt that proper action at proper time should be meted out towards these kids to prevent them from becoming brats as they grow up. But without the parents help, support, care and love for the child this task becomes close to impossible to be achieved. Parents should be counseled separately, to make them aware of the importance of having such a beautiful gift in their life, and by being pre-occupied with work only they are vehemently rejecting their precious gift. Thus, India is reporting a large number of broken family cases in the past few years, the statistics of which are on rise.

Nature Loving Kids

According to the historian Thomas Berry, “Teaching children about the natural world should be seen as one of the most important events in their lives.” Nature has been one of the most precious gift of God to mankind, its beauty and serenity inspires every person to become a self-proclaimed poet or poetess. Such is the magic of nature, for kids especially who are just exploring the “Big Bad World” nature has a soothing effect and makes them realise that not everything is bad, God is balancing bad with good.

Protection of this nature’s gift is a big responsibility on every human’s shoulder; even the tiny shoulders are now making efforts to protect Mother Nature from the cruelties of her inhabitants. Every year Earth day is celebrated on the 22^nd of April, to make an attempt to beautify the earth and try to make it a better place to live in.

Every school is taking an effort to inculcate in its students eco-friendly etiquettes’ because initiatives taken at the base level will sow efforts at the top level. Environmental lessons are being incorporated into the study curriculum to make the child aware of the several biodiversity related harm that is occurring because of the developmental changes that are happening in the name of revolution.

Kids are being encouraged to plant trees in their suburbs and houses and schools, to reduce pollution, use of plastic bags are being forbidden to be used, deforestation of nearby parks and ecology terrain is being discouraged by student protests, construction of huge dams and watershed projects which are posing serious threat to life and property of the indigenous people and their co-habitants are issues that are being voiced for. Rallies and protest marches are being held by young students to raise matters of grave concern related to nature.

Kids are considered to be the future of tomorrows World; by educating them about these things we should try to make an attempt at saving whatever resources that is left with us. Development and progress are essential aspects of every society, but in lieu of receiving momentary benefits for oneself today, we cannot blatantly ignore the great injustice we are doing to the giver of life and also by putting our successive generations into the pit of deforestation and unforeseen natural calamities that would be taking place with the recent developmental activities that are on the rise to destroy the natural habitat around us.
