KITE School Field Trip to Fruit Market

First, let me apologise for not posting for a while. But we assure you that now you'll see this page updated regularly.

KITE School organised a field trip to fruit market for Playgroup and Nursery children. It was a great experience to see the excitement on the faces of the little kids as they answered questions of the teacher. The teachers asked about the name, shape and colour etc. of different fruits. They also explained the comparison of big and small. Children had an exciting interactive session that was first for the tiny-tots.

Enjoy the pictures!

Discipline vs. Punishment

No parent wants to spank the child but there are occurrences when parents lose their control. They say, “He is so naughty” or “She needs to learn discipline” or “I do it only when he is just uncontrollable. What can I do?” We understand your feelings. But discipline should never be confused with punishment. Discipline is a positive learning while punishment is a negative reaction.

Then, what to do? First we must find out and understand why a child misbehaves. It could be the feeling that he/she isn't getting enough positive attention. If you react in such a situation by yelling or spanking then the child might get the message that this is the only way to get your attention. So it becomes counter-productive.

Be patient. Don’t shout. Saying it in lower volume always works better. Try to listen to him/her. Make the atmosphere conducive. Show your concern. Make your child see logic in what you are saying. And make it SHORT. Lengthy explanations are also counter-productive.

Sometimes jealousy, stress or frustration may also be the cause of bad behaviour. You should observe it. Teach him/her to respect others. And the best way to do this is to show respect to him/her. Children learn by imitating. Be a ‘right’ role model for your child.

Discipline is taught by example. Set rules for your child as well as for yourself. Show your child that you’re following rules set for you then affectionately tell that you expect him/her to follow rules set for him/her. Then, do not forget to give your ‘positive attention’. Show it, say it... that you noticed it. This will imbibe discipline as ‘way of life’ in your child.

KITE School | KITE line... We need to ponder upon this.

The new year has begun with a rather depressed note in Mumbai. We are getting shockingly disturbing news of suicides by students every alternate day. What is more heartbreaking is that some of them were really of tender age. This reflects the undue stress on young children to ‘perform’. Many a time parents and the peer group both are at fault. Our education system is also to be blamed.

Every child cannot be the best in all fields. When parents expect this, they put the damaging pressure on the child’s mind. One must note that every child is unique with certain distinctive qualities and talent. We should try to discover that talent and let the child explore his/her path. We should not predetermine the child’s career and put a label on his/her future. We should try to provide the best possible learning and growing environment and then let the child blossom and show his/her talent.
Some parents think that small children don’t get stressed. Well, it’s not true. Even small children have their own anxieties, frustrations, tensions and stress. I think it is of paramount importance to have communication with the child. Never neglect or ignore or belittle your child’s frustration/anxiety. Talk it out. With care, concern and caution. Never break the communication. Never let isolation creep between you and your child.

Early years of your child are the most precious as these make the foundation on which a future will be built! Take care.
