Emotional intelligence does not come naturally to children. It is similar to reading and writing and so has to be taught and inculcated in children. Kindness like any other behaviour, can be learned. For parents one of the most important goals is to raise children who are kind and empathetic. It is the responsibility of parents to teach children that we rise by lifting others. No act of kindness is ever wasted.

.

.

A few activities to teach your children to be kind:

✔️Practice Kindness with animals

✔️Observe and Appreciate

✔️Make Kindness a Priority

✔️Make a Gratitude Journal

✔️Teach them to pay it forward

✔️Plant a Seed

✔️Pretend Play

✔️Teach them to Smile and Greet

✔️Set Kindness Goals

✔️Teach them to Compliment

✔️Donate Pre-loved stuff

"𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅"

We see the part of ourselves that is unloved as the ‘Inner Child’ and we see the conscious part of us, that is who we refer to as ‘I’ as the parent.

Take time to have fun with your inner child, do things you love to do. When I feel like adult time, metaphorically I tuck my child into bed and will spend some time doing something just for myself. Whether that is a favourite tv show, hobby, craft,dance or time in my garden.

.

Somethings which makes you to love "YOURSELF"

.

.

🔸Remove toxicity from your life. Whether this comes in the form of people who always make yourself feel small or depleted when you have been around them, or who openly devalue you.

🔸Enjoy foods that you nourishing for your body and begin to really take care of what you take into your body. Make gradual change if you need to.

🔸Get into meditation. This is sitting or lying down for 15 minutes in silence and just let thoughts pass through your mind.

🔸Pamper yourself if you can. If you have a bath, buy some lovely scent and candles and luxuriate in the hot water and allow yourself to breathe in the scents and relax deeply.

🔸Enjoy walks in nature. Stop to admire nature as often as you can, even if it is a flower or a house plant. Nature is such a special system all on its own and the perfection of its shape and form.

Play is an integral part of a child’s development. It is vital for the holistic development of your baby.Both indoor and outdoor games enhance your child’s creativity and imagination. Moreover, playing increases your baby’s physical movement and improves their cognitive abilities. They learn to adapt to the changing conditions of the game. While they are in a team, it develops sportsmanship and team spirit.

.

.

Physical Development 

Early play develops a wide array of gross-motor, fine-motor and sensory-motor-integration skills such as laterality (coordinating left-side and right-side movement), balance, ballistics (extreme exertions), use of pens and scissors and other hand tools, hand-eye coordination and many, many others. Indeed, actual physical development such as the arch of the palm depends on it, and limiting play and exploration can be quite detrimental to a child.

.

.

Social Development 

It's hard to beat the confidence conferred by early athletic prowess. Even harder to beat is the cohesiveness of a group of children learning together. And even better than that is free play, children playing on their own or lightly supervised. Some aspects of a well-integrated personality--autonomy, volition, circumspection, empathy, agency--cannot easily be taught; they arise spontaneously from vivid group interaction. These same interactions will both reduce the tendency of some to bully and will provide tactics for others to more effectively deal with bullying.

.

.

Mental Development 

Naturally mind and character are much developed by all the foregoing. Beyond that, if you want a gifted reader, sing with your child. If you want a gifted writer, compose and sing your own goofy songs. If you want a mathematician, climb--it's nothing but problem-solving in real time and space. If you want a brave child, play hide-and-go-seek out at the mall.

IS PRESCHOOL REALLY NECESSARY BEFORE KINDERGARTEN???

.

.

 Necessary is kind of a subjective word.There are folks who think that cars and phones are necessary. Now here’s what I think of preschool.

The optimal year before school should include lots of time for unstructured play with basic toys like blocks, dolls, and pretend play materials like dress-up, kitchen items, tools, etc.

There should be a couple of times during each day set aside to enjoy books with an adult. There should also be a couple of times during each day to be outdoors. It’s okay for kids to get cold, hot or wet. Keep them properly dressed during inclement weather, and well hydrated when it’s hot.

Make writing and art materials available every day and do not direct how to use them. This doesn’t mean you can permit children to throw paint around the room, it just means that you don’t say things like “Now glue two eyes onto your paper plate lion”.

Children should have several opportunities each week to be around children and adults to whom they are not related. They should spend an hour or more at least a couple of times a week away from their parents (with another trusted adult). Some children may need to move up to this gradually.

Inviting a child to help prepare dinner, and talking about the characteristics of the ingredients (color, size, shape, number or amount, etc) does count.

Now, where parents can provide the above environmental stimuli is really not as much an issue as if they can provide them.

Children in a preschool program learn the gamut of skills ranging from knowing their colors to some basic counting.If a family has the option of old-fashioned day care or a quality preschool, I would say it's a good idea to opt for preschool.

Early childhood, ages from one to five is considered to be the most sensitive and developmental period not only in a child's life but in parent's life too.

Wooden just sounds better,doesn’t it?

But, I’ll give you better and scientific reasons why wooden toys is my choice over plastic ones!

⏩Plastic vs wood⏪

Being a mom of toddler,I always prefer wooden toys because of these below points.

.

.

1.More safe to tiny hands-Without the chemicals, artificial colors and above all, plastic that goes into most toys, our world would be so much nicer! While wooden toys use eco-friendly, certified child-safe materials.

.

.

2. Long lasting : Life of the toy- Wood being a strong and volatile material, it has the potential to live long life and be passed on to younger siblings.

.

.

3.Better for the imagination-Most modern toys sing, dance, light up and do all kinds of things without leaving much scope for pretend play.With wooden toys, the ‘special effects’are limited because of the very nature of wood.Instead, they’re often brightly colored and cut into fun shapes, but the rest is left to child’s imagination.They can develop new games and outcomes which encourages interaction and role play.

.

.

4.Fine motor skills-Wooden toys are plain which boosts them to open ended play leading to developing cognitive skills.

The bumps, corners, rounded edges, smoothness and roughness of wood all help with improving grip and other fine motor skills.
