Limit Screen Time-----

 मैं अपने घर जाने के लिए बस लेने के लिए बस स्टॉप पर इंतज़ार कर रहा था। बस स्टॉप पर मेरी मुलाकात मेरी पुरानी छात्रा पुष्पा से हुई। पुष्पा ने कहा, ''मैडम, अपने बच्चे को स्क्रीन पर समय बिताने से बचाना बहुत मुश्किल है।''

मैंने कहा "पुष्पा #विशेषज्ञों के अनुसार 18 महीने की उम्र तक के बच्चे को बिल्कुल भी स्क्रीन देखने की अनुमति नहीं देनी चाहिए। 2-5 वर्ष की आयु में #विशेषज्ञों द्वारा #अनुशंसित स्क्रीन टाइम अधिकतम #एक घंटा है।"

पुष्पा ने कहा, "मैडम जब बच्चा स्क्रीन से चिपका रहता है, तो उसकी गतिविधि जैसे #दौड़ना, सवाल पूछना, #ड्राइंग और #पेंटिंग करना सब #कम हो जाता है।kn इसलिए उस समय के दौरान, वह एक तरह से #शारीरिक रूप से सक्रिय रहता है। केवल उसका/ उसका दिमाग काम कर रहा है जो बच्चे के विकास के लिए #अच्छा नहीं है'

मैंने आगे कहा 'इसलिए जो बच्चे स्क्रीन पर अधिक समय बिताते हैं उनकी #संचार कौशल #कम हो जाती है। उन्हें वहां का माहौल #नकारात्मक लगता है इसलिए इस तथ्य का बच्चे के #व्यक्तित्व पर प्रभाव पड़ता है।'

कहानी से सीख-माता-पिता को बच्चों को #गुणवत्तापूर्ण समय देना चाहिए ताकि उनकी #संचार कौशल विकसित हो। माता-पिता के साथ बिताया गया यह समय बच्चों के #आस-पास-वातावरण को सकारात्मक बनाता है। यह सब समग्रता में बच्चे के व्यक्तित्व को #सकारात्मक बनाता है।

Pious thought -experience

 

One day one student asked me"madam which is the #highest treasure in one's life"

                    

      I said "dear student #'good thoughts'   are biggest treasure of one's life.  Money and #power can take one person on wrong path if one does not do #introspection.But one's good thoughts will always inspire one for  thoughtful #karma(actions) '. 

      I further said" Other biggest treasure in one's life is "experience of life".#Experience  got by facing hard life make one very #strong. It is also true some times experience in one's life is stronger than #advise one gets in life.Sometimes one understand difficult concepts of life by #facing life but not through somebody's teaching.Therefore one should never feel scared of getting experience in life. Going through  experience one gets sacred and precious teachings in one's life. 

Moral of story -experience is greater teacher compare to  advise taken from senior person in life.

Little Quanta activity--

 I am teaching in school. I always tell to my students"please do not look for big occassions to find joy in life. One can be happy with small joy in life"Donate to a cause or organization that aligns with your values.

One student said"I perform acts of kindness such as paying for food of street children. "

One girl student Nidhi said"madam some time I listen actively and empathetically to my domestic help who needs support"

I said"This act of Kindness simulate the release of dopamine and oxytocin which are known as feel good hormons leading to increase of joy in life. It also reduces stress. All these small act of kindness give strong connection in relationship also. It also give one sense of purpose and fulfillment in life. It also create supportive environment in one's life. "

Moral of story-please believe in small joy in life and one day you will find a surprise of big joy in life.

Mother Daughter Dream

I felt asleep. An old lady came in my dreams. I said"oh dear mom, I always used to make fun of you but when I see my self into mirror I find you in me. I fondly remember you very often when you used to be strict with me to inculcate good working habits in me. I used to fight with you for small things. Now I realise mom how wrong I was when I used to miss behave with you. ".

I distinctly remember when ever I will go out for my academic achievement outside home. How worried you were for same. I always used to think it is your immaturity to do so. Now after twenty years I am sailing in same boat. Thanks mom for being so kind and considerate with me. Every cell of my body is so much indebted with your love, affection and sacrifice. I wish I could face you in person. But I know that is never going to be so. It's just a dream for me. 

Moral of Story-Mothers are blessing. Please respect them. 

Do you Wish to be Popular

 My students always talk to me about concept of popularity. One student said "to become popular one should have bent mind of helping people in need of time. "

I said "popular persons are fond of celebrating one's friend success. They are very positive persons. They are large hearted and always look toward benefit of group and are not confined to own benefit. "

One student said"madam they are always on wheels and are always interested in finding amicable solution to group problems."

I said"yes dear student, they are always ready to do extra work to make their mission successful "

Student said "they are true leaders and

down to earth persons. They never boast about their personal success. They are ready to embrace change in society and find positivity in same. People ❤ them for their capacity to find positivity in odd circumstances. They are role model of society. They inspire young minds through their actions".

Are you being Practical?

  I was waiting to go home, at metro station. I met my old student he said" Madam when we were teen ager we were so close to our friends. Even at home I used to share every small challenges in my life with my parents. But now a days things are much different"Why it is so is big question. 

I said "at that time no face book, no smart digital phone and no whatsup. Only medium of communication was letter writing. People were able to share emotions very effectively. Distance relationship were maintained so well. Unfortunately it is not soso now a days".

Yes you are right my student. I said" The reason behind this is that every one is being very practical these days. That is why there is less respect to emotions now days. Thanks to science-technolgy and information technology "
