Life is a game of balancing between intelligence quotient [IQ] and Emotional quotient [EQ]. Educators should develop the overall personality of students by inculcating playful tricks of building higher IQ and EQ in students in their teaching methods.

I teach science in school. Many students of my class eleven go for #private coaching in physics, chemistry and maths. Many students move in #group. Some students are in the habit of not sharing #solutions to problems given in their coaching center. They think that by doing so, they will be #ahead of other students. In a way, they are in no mood to be in a good #relationship with other students in the group.
I tell "my students be open-minded and share problems # solutions with your friends that will make you wiser. "
I further said"students please don't think #relationship is a degree or diploma to start and end in 3to 4 years. It is a lifetime #course, not just to study but to feel and #live".
One student said, "Yes ma'am, when we grow up, we will have #memories of this time. Of course, we will have many #stories of this time. But Madam, if we do not have a #relationship, all these above-mentioned activities are of no use. "
Moral of the story. Please #nurture a relationship like a #plant and enjoy the fruit of it.

My student Sudha gave birth to a baby yesterday. Today, her husband gave us good news and sent a photo of the #baby. I congratulated him and asked if Sudha was okay to take a video call after 5 days. Sudha's husband said yes, then I #called her after 5 days.
When I saw Sudha on the call, the first question I asked her was, “Are you still in #pain much? Have you been able to eat anything healthy yet? On the phone, I requested her domestic help to give Sudha #nutritious diet. I asked Sudha Can you walk to the bathroom yourself, or need help?”
And just like that, she cried on the phone. “Madam, you’re the first one to ask me if I’m doing ok. Everyone else just asks if the baby is ok and if I have breast milk to feed the baby yet.”
The next day, I went to Sudha's house. I stayed for a day and helped her out. She was so happy to get moral support. Thankfully next day her mother came to help Sudha.
Moral of the story-When a baby arrives in the home, everyone should remember that the mother has been rebirth. It is essential that the family should support the mother as well baby. This arrangement brings harmony and goodwill in family life

My sister is #primary school teacher. She says, "Some of her students do not know the names of their classmates".First, before starting #curriculum classes in her class, she makes every # effort that all student should know the names of their # classmates. "
In this era of technology, children are more interested in watching #videos, chatting with friends, and sharing # homework online. One hardly sees students playing in #park made specially for children to play. Students also avoid cycling.
It is high time parents give quality time to #children and reduce children's #screen time.
Parents have to do #extra efforts to do so. It is true information #technology is a boon, and it has made our lives easy on many fronts.
But this Information technology is #reducing family ties, in a way emotional #Quotient of children is decreasing. Children are becoming practical and going away from family values.
Responsibility of the family has increased now, as they have to go #extra mile to decrease children's screen time. Which is not an easy exercise.

I was reading a book at night. It was my mother's birthday. My heart was full of #emotions which I was not even able to express to #myself. My #heart was very heavy. While #reading a book, I fell asleep.
Suddenly, I saw two soft, beautiful hands on my #head. I at once realized it was my #mother's hard-working hands. I said, "Mom, how come you remembered me today. Mom, today is your #birthday. Not even a single day passes I don't remember you, dear mom. In #mirror, I look like you. My friends tell you are the mirror image of your mother. Your habit of eating meals last of all has become my habit now. My friends #comment that the way you laugh and carry yourself is exactly like your mom.
I myself have found mom, as you used to teach me every little thing, good manners, etc, the same I do with my kids. My kids tell me, Mom, you are always mending us like #grandmother. Your special rule is that all vegetables on the food plate must be finished before dessert is served to the kids. I am following."
I used to misbehave with you many times, but after 20 years, I do realise, Mom, how #stupid I was that time. I wish to apologize to you for the same, dear mom. I wish I could have known your worth at a young age. You were my mentor. You were everything for me. Till today, my soul searches for you, dear mom. But I don't know where you have gone. I daily pray to God, please God keep my mom safe.
Soon I heard the alarm of my clock; it was time to get up. I kept calling mom! Mom! Please don't go, I miss you so much---I soon realized it was a dream. I only wish it's ok even if my mom visits me in my dreams. But it was not to be so.
Moral-Mothers are blessings. Fortunate are those who have a mom. A world without mom is a vacuum.

Practical-Emotional-Person
I was teaching in school. One old student, Suresh, visited my educational aid lab in my school. While talking to me, he said, "Madam, when we were in school, we were close friends and always respected each other. #challenges that one is facing. Even at home always knew what challenges we were facing in #life. "
I said, "Remember, Suresh, at that time there was no what's up, #Facebook and # Instagram, and #email facility available. The only mode of communication for common man was letters. I distinctly remember my mother would ask me to write letters to my uncle, aunt every weekend. Amazingly distant relationships were maintained so well."
Suresh said, "This is not the same nowadays. Everyone is in #competition with one another. There is more #concentration on money than on respecting or #nurturing a relationship. I keep #wondering why it is so."
I said, "Suresh, people are following the practical approach. Through money, they are trying to solve maximum problems in life. Remember, it is the era of information technology. "
I further said it is good to follow new ways of living happily, but in my opinion, if we as society make a money-sentiments balance approach and make bridges with each other, where each other could be countries. I think quality of life will be much better than what we are leading today."
Suresh smiled and said, "Madam, you are very right, the best is to make bridges, not walls."

At school, I always tell my students it is best to be # self-disciplined. Self-disciplined kids are happier when they grow older.
One student said, "Right, madam. I distinctly remember making ourselves self-disciplined. My mother had a rule that # homework is to be completed first, then only children can go for #playing with friends. "
Another student said, "Madam, my mother had made a rule: #vegetables are to be eaten first from the food plate, later on #desert will be served."
Another student said, "My mother had made a rule that nothing should be left over in #food plate. If any child does that, kid will be #punished with a decrease in pocket money."
I, as a teacher, was so happy to listen to them about the issue. I said, "To make kids self-disciplined, parents also must practice self-discipline. Best example is if parents are always #glued to the screen, it is not fair for parents to expect that their children will be happy to be #off the screen."
One student said, "Parents and teachers must give time to kids in person. This activity will make kids self-disciplined."
Moral of the story- to make kids self-disciplined, parents and teachers must work together. Parents- teachers, when they #practice good habits of self-discipline, kids will copy them to do
