Habits that help to raise good-characterized child


Habits that help to raise good-characterized child
Early bedtimes:
One of the most basic things that one can do for their kids behavior, health and well-being is to help them get the sleep they need. Sleep is the building block for healthy brain development. It helps us process the day’s events and learn from it. Kids’ brains are constantly developing and creating new neural connections. They absolutely must get good sleep to nurture these connections.
Routines:
Using something as simple as these printable routine cards can help kids feel grounded and relaxed. In fact, knowing what to expect at mealtimes, mornings and bedtimes can bring a sense of relief to even the most carefree child. Routines allow kids to feel a sense of control.
Empathy:
Empathy promotes kindness, pro-social behaviors, and moral courage and it is an effective antidote to bullying, aggression, prejudice and racism.
Hugs:
Hugging triggers the release of oxytocin, also known as the love hormone. This feel-good hormone has many important effects on our bodies; one of them is growth stimulation.
Playful parents:
We dont reserve much room in our lives for fun and games anymore. Our days are filled with stress, obligations and hard work, and without realizing it, we are more disconnected from our kids than ever. Play is the work of the child and to connect with our kids, so we must play with our kids.
Music:
Science has shown that when children learn to play music, their brains begin to hear and process sounds that they couldnt otherwise hear. This helps them develop neurophysiological distinction between certain sounds that can aid in literacy, which can translate into improved academic results for kids.
Outdoor times:
Movement through active free play, especially outside, improves everything from creativity to academic success to emotional stability. Kids who dont get to do this can have so many issues, from problems with emotional regulation.
More screen-time limits:
In order for the brains neural networks to develop normally during the critical period, a child needs specific stimuli from the outside environment. When a young child spends too much time in front of a screen and not enough getting required stimuli from the real world, its development becomes stunted.
Experiences, not things:
Children require less things and far more meaningful experiences. When they grow up, its not the stuff in their life they will remember, its that time they tried to catch tadpoles at the lake, or that sand castle you both built that the wave knocked over at the beach.
Enjoy more peaceful parenting days and gain more cooperation from your child!

Fall in love with yourself

I got a call from an unknown number which I usually do not answer but somehow my intuitive mind kept telling to answer this call and I did. A Girl - Ma’m I got your number from someone and he mentioned you can help me. Me - Pls tell me more about you. Girl - Ma’m I’m studying in final year and I’m good at Studies and have scored brilliant marks in last 2 years but now everything is turning upside down in my life, I can’t concentrate, the love of my life has left me abandoned. It breaks my heart when teenagers use such strong words (abandon). But then   That is how we are conditioned in the society we live in. Me - I asked her to meet and we discussed about her life and loss of love that she feels. I gave her two empty glasses and asked her to fill any of them with water. She said there is no water on the table can she ask for it? No was my answer. Then I gave her one glass full of water and asked her to now fill the other glass with this water. Yes...
