Yelling at Kids

 I am a science teacher in a government school. For many years, fortunately, I was given the responsibility by the school to look into Parents and Teachers Association activities. During that responsibility, I had the fortune of interacting with mothers believing in different philosophies of #parenting kids. The same I am listing below

1. Mothers with high aspirations for children in academic and co-curricular activities. 

These mothers push their children for academic #achievement, and after school, they send their children for sports and music activities. They don't mind setting a stressful environment for kids. They don't believe in many social platforms. 

A positive point about these mothers is that they make it a point to sit in the audience and attend music/sports performances of their children. This activity of their mother gives children moral support, and they do well in music and sports 

These tiger children of these determined mothers, I observed, are part of our school music group. My personal observation is that these tiger children are part of our school swimming team and basketball team. The school feels proud of these children's performance

Positive point of this approach is: it is good for students to get good grades in academic activities, and at the same time, they come to realise the importance of practice and commitment through music and sports activities. But this approach's negative point is that sometimes children are not able to carry them properly in social gatherings, and also become introverted. They are not able to understand their peers' behaviour. They feel lost, also. 

2. mothers who are casual and work on suggestions of activities suggested by the school for their kids. 

Children whose mothers don't push them hard are casual and always try their best to be in their comfort zone. But they have good social skills. 

There are positive and negative sides to both approaches mentioned above for raising children. 

My opinion is that taking children to the library is also important for their development. They learn expression and gradual command of language. It is good to limit screen time for kids, by making children visit museums and exhibitions, children get cultural education.

Children whose mothers don't push them hard are casual and always try their best to be in their comfort zone. But they have good social skills. 

There are positive and negative sides to both approaches mentioned above for raising children. 

The role of technology in the learning  of kids can't be denied. Social skills of children are also important, and social platforms given to kids at the right time make a tremendous difference in a child's personality. 

Taking care of the balance of academic and co-curricular activity is best for children's development. If one feels that a child needs extra help. It is better to arrange a good tutor for kids' activities where need is required. But extreme pushing by mothers for any activity of their child, I think, is not going to give the expected result. Yelling at kids by a mother is not a good parenting skill.

Helping people to get Destressed

I am teaching science in a government school. Sumitra is our old student. She came to school to attend the alumni Association function. I was so happy to meet her after a long time. Sumitra is a special student in the sense that she is married to the most sincere IAS officer of the country. So whenever school has some administrative problem, Sumitra's generosity always helps the school with some amicable solution. 

Sumitra said, "Madam, I am very happy with my life. My children are doing well in life. I have one big regret in life, that is, after marriage, I resigned from a #good job(lecturer ship). I never thought any time to increase my skills after marriage. If I were, I could have done so. I was misguided by my own thoughts that I would get the respect of the chief guest's wife, then where is the need for #working hard? But madam, I no longer enjoy that. I regret that I myself lost my identity because I was scared of facing a little #hardship. Now I know madam hardships make women strong. I started enjoying my comfort zone. I remember you, Madam Sukarma(sukarma.thareja.knp@gmail.com ), so much. You strongly #advised me not to forgive my #identity and make sure you add some #technical skills to your personality. Madam, I was ignorant and never thought of your advice #line of thinking. Time lost can never #come back. "

I said, "It's ok, Sumitra, one can never walk in time, which is #gone. Since you are relatively free now still you can  search for an #activity that gives you satisfaction. Please #work on that if possible."

Sumatra said, "Believe me, Madam Sukarma. It's so nice to do a # heart-to-heart talk with you. I have very few people in my life with whom I can do so. It has given so much #relief and peace today. "

I blessed Sumitra from the core of my heart and wished for her a successful and peaceful life. " I was also very happy to be part of Sumitra's conversation; I could make her a little distressed.

Never Disrespect Books

  I am a science teacher in a government school. The metro station is my #mode of transportation to go back home from school.

 The other day I was waiting for my metro at the #metro station. There were many college students also waiting for the metro to go to their #respective destinations. It was holiday season, therefore many students were going home. They were in happy mood. Every student had two to three extra books issued from the library. Some students were sensible and were carrying library books in plastic bags so that they could protect the library books from rain. Some students were a little careless and were #carrying books in a very filthy way. I was feeling miserable to see their short-sightedness. 

Suddenly, I saw a very decent woman standing near me went to those students she said, "I am librarian in school. I am sorry to see how you are mishandling library books. Friends you don't understand how much hard work government does to bring a single book to #library. The purpose is to help students of our country to get knowledge through books so that they can become responsible students of our country. Please respect your books. They are giving so much to you. Imagine if you have to buy these books. I am sure you will think a thousand times before doing so. My request is not to misuse the facility. By doing so, you are guiding the coming generation of students to respect books. In Hindu mythology, we consider books as goddesses of knowledge. Please respect your culture and values. "

Many students #apologized to the madam librarian for their wrong doing. I also thanked the madam librarian for being so kind and courageous and raising her voice for wrong doing. I said," Madam, you are #true teacher in the real sense of the word."

Moral -Never disrespect a person or books that are giving you #valuable knowledge. Feel proud and fortunate for getting the facility to avail books from the library.

Celebrate Love

 Love is a feeling. Mother's love is Pure unconditional. Pure love helps one to lead a happy life. Pure love gives one a feeling of a cushion on which one can always fall back. As one grows, one has siblings, and that love is also unique in a sense, as the name of one's sibling comes to mind! There is a collection of sweet memories in one's mind. Those memories are so unique that one always loves to relive them. School friends' love is also unique in the sense that one grows emotionally, physically with school friends. One has positive and negative experiences with them, which make up the foundation of one's youth. 

When one goes to college, one gets exposure to romantic love. Here in a relationship, if the values of the couple are on the same frequency, then that relationship flourishes, and sometimes that relationship gets converted into a marriage-making of soul mates. 

Some people are unique; they have love for coworkers, and they expand their love sphere to needy and unfortunate people in society. Are you thinking  of helping needy people  of society?

 Sometimes Love is expressed as the most fake emotion. I have observed some people fall in love because of certain traits: Money, Looks, Status, Intelligence, Humour, Popularity, and Qualification. That love is an example of fake love that is a trap. 

Moral-Celebrate love. It is a feeling from inside. So avail this opportunity of expressing true love. You may not get that opportunity again.

Where Do you Live Sir

 I saw one beggar. He used to sit outside our #school. I sometimes used to give him some #sweets and #garments. Many #teachers used to help him one way or another.

 He didn't come for many days. By the way, I inquired about the same from my #students.

One student said, "Madam, I have seen him outside side temple. I sent some #sweets to him through my student."

Another student said," Madam, I see him outside side #church on Sundays."

Another student said, "Madam, I see him outside side # Gurudwara. He seems to be ok."

Another student said, "Madam, I met the same gentleman (beggar) outside #pub bar." To my surprise madam, he said" Dear friend! when I used to sit outside #church, #temple and #gurudwara, I hardly used to get some pennies. Suddenly, I decided to sit outside the #beer bar, this place I get a good amount of money as #charity. He seemed to be happy, madam." But he jokingly also said "sometimes I ask #God you live somewhere else(beer bar), but you give everyone the resident address as- #temple, #church or #gurudwara---ha ha??? " What a miracle----"

Wasted Emotions

 I am a science teacher in #government school. My friend Poonam was blessed to get married in a family that #respected Poonam a lot. Poonam had two kids, and her mother in law used to take care of her # grandchildren very sincerely. So Poonam was less worried about her kids when she was at school. I used to feel very happy for Poonam, for her #blessings. But unfortunately, my friend Ms Lal used to always tell me I feel #jealous of Poonam. Look at many ladies in our school, they are struggling so hard to bring up their kids, as unfortunately, their mothers-in-law, though they live with the family, don't #co operate to that extent. 

I said, "Ms Lal, it is wasting our emotions if we feel #jealous of Poonam. We should get #inspiration from Poonam's mother-in-law and try to get some positive energy from her #good doings. "

Ms Lal also liked my #approach to life. 

Moral- Those we #hate may do better than us in #life. So being #jealous is no solution. Best is to accept it with #grace.

Raksha Bandhan

 India, Rakhi, a spiritual #festival, is very important as it sustains the basic #thread of family life. 

My friend Sushma said, "Madam, somehow I forgot to send #Rakhi to my brother through the post. "I said it's ok, you just ring up your brother on Rakhi festival day and give your wishes," Sushma said. "I got a phone call from my sister in law," She said, "Dear Sushma, we received your pious #Rakhi today by post, thanks for the same. In case you are planning to visit us for the same, I am sorry we will not be at home, as we plan to go #somewhere else".

I said, "Please do not be disturbed, just keep good wishes for your #brother's family in your heart❤. That is the most #positive thing you should do. I further said, " I wish your sister in law # realizes that sisters visit brothers on the festival of Rakhi just to sustain the thread of relationship between brother and sister. They have no #greed for getting presents in physical or cash terms. Sister spend their energy, time and of course money to see how their brother's family is doing. I wish Sushma, your sister in laws, realizes this fact very soon. Sister-brother are #blessing of God."

Moral-Before concluding any happening in life, please have #positive emotions about the same. That will give you peace in life. Playing #mind games is not at all a good #attitude for life.
