Is my toddler ready for playgroup/ preschool?
This is one of the most common questions that parents ask me. In this reel I share 5 important points to note to know if your toddler is ready for playgroup / preschool 1. Your toddler should be following a routine at home. Ideally, they should be able to do many self-care tasks that are part of the routine by themselves. They should be able to feed themselves, pull their pants up and down and put on their shoes before they start school. 2. Your toddler should be able to follow simple instructions. They should enjoy doing household chores with you and be able to follow simple instructions during the chores. 3. Your toddler should be able to communicate needs and preferences. Even if they have a very limited vocabulary, they should be able to ask for what they need through 2â3-word sentences or gestures. They should also be able to indicate what they want and donât want through gestures. 4. Your toddler should be used to staying without the parents for short periods They should be able to play when they are left with caregivers or neighbors for short periods. 5. Your toddler should be curious They should want to explore inside the house. They should also be interested in going out of the house to explore and discover. They should be curious and interested in people and things. It is ideal for your toddler to also be daytime toilet trained before they begin preschool. If they still havenât achieved that milestone âstart working towards it. Is your toddler starting playgroup / preschool this year? Are they ready?

Do you want your child to have a SUPER BRAIN?
Yes of course you do!! Are you doing EVERYTHING you can to build a super brain? I am sure you are. But all your efforts to build a super brain may fail if you make these 5 MISTAKES 1. Scolding your child to make them learn. When your child is afraid, the part of the brain where new memories are formed becomes smaller. 2. Using bribes and rewards to get them to do things. Bribes and rewards work only in the short term. When your child gets used to them it will only lead to more tantrums 3. Using devices to entertain them. Devices are designed to distract us. If you distract you child â they will never be able to focus. 4. Feeding your child junk food The growing brain needs the right nutrients to grow and develop. Junk food does not have any of the nutrients that the growing brain needs. 5. Getting angry all the time When you get angry easily your child loses courage and confidence. Without courage and confidence even if they know everything they will never be successful. Do you want to stop making these mistakes? Do you want to ensure that your child has a super brain?

Does your child cry over everything?
Are you tired of the tears that appear in their eyes whenever you say anything? Then you need to ask yourself these 4 questions Question 1 â Do I get irritated when my child cries? If the answer to this is yes â then stop and ask yourself how you would like to be treated when you cry. How would you feel if the person who you expected would understand you â just got irritated? You would feel sad. And the sadness would make you cry more. Allow your child to cry. Try to understand why they are sad. That will reduce their sadness and pain and they will cry less. Question 2 Do I get upset when my child says or does something I donât want? If the answer to this question is yes â then understand this â your child starts crying because they are scared that you will get upset as soon as they disagree with you. Whenever they want something different from you therefore â the fear makes them cry. Stop being so rigid. Allow your child to think and say what they want without getting angry even if you donât agree. Question 3 Am I always in a hurry and focused on perfection? If the answer to that question is yes â then you are probably scolding your child whenever they are slow or when they make a mistake. This lowers their self-esteem and fills them with so much fear when they speak that they start crying. Slow down. Enjoy imperfection. When your child has high self-esteem they will not cry. Question 4 Do I blame my child when things go wrong? You may not do this directly â but even if your child hears you telling someone else that you couldnât do something because of you, they will start blaming themselves for everything. And this guilt will make them cry. Never complain about your child to others How many of these questions did you answer with YES? Type NO and decide that you will ensure that very soon all the answers become NO. Share this on your story so that you must keep your promise to change.

We started with that question at the @trio_world_school@trioworldschool in January 2023. And in keeping with the school’s extremely organized approach to change, we planned and executed workshops throughout the year for all the stakeholders – the teachers, parents, and students - to achieve that goal. Is it important for children to become independent learners? The answer of course is YES. Independent learning is vital for life. Children who are not independent learners start struggling academically as soon as they move to the 6th grade. In the 6th grade children are expected to understand as the teacher teaches in class, learn what has been taught at home and perform well in tests. Are children able to do this? Many cannot. Children who were doing well in primary school – start performing poorly in middle school because they are not independent learners. Poor performance leads to them losing interest in learning. This then leads to the adults in their life calling them lazy and scolding and punishing them. Which then leads to an absolute hatred of learning. A downward spiral thus begins as the struggle to learn leads to a life that feels like a struggle. The solution? For parents - To shift focus from “how much is learnt” to “how to learn” For teachers - To teach “the way the brain learns” For students – To “use the brain efficiently.” I loved making this happen through the workshops I conducted for teachers, parents, and students throughout the year. As always, I was floored by the enthusiasm with which the teachers, parents and students received every workshop. Partnering with the Trio schools in their initiatives to make learning easier and more enjoyable is my greatest joy every year. I am so grateful for these opportunities to apply neuroscience to create impact. #parentingworkshops #schoolworkshops #teachertraining#studyskills #learning #neuroscienceoflearning
Should you STOP breastfeeding if your baby is THIN?
NO It is a misconception that breastfeeding prevents toddlers from gaining weight. Breastmilk is full of nutrients for as long as it is produced. It does not become watery after 6 months. You must however, start giving your baby solids in addition to Breastmilk after your baby is 6 months old. And alongside that, continue breastfeeding for 2 years or more as YOU like Stopping breastfeeding will not help your child to gain weight for the following reasons - 1.Breastmilk is full of immunity building substances. Stopping breastfeeding will lead to more infections. More infection will lead to more weight loss 2. Breastmilk is a wonderful probiotic. Breastmilk helps in the digestion and absorption of the solids you are giving your child. This leads to weight gain. 3. Breastfeeding reduces stress. And stress free babies fall sick less frequently. This results in better growth and weight gain. MOMS SHOULD BE THE ONES WHO DECIDE WHEN TO STOP BREASTFEEDING. Type BF if you agree. Share this with those who are always telling you what to do. â |
