Be a Potter – Mold your Child to be an Achiever
By Sapna Ganeshan
The Circle of Love
Love is known to be a panacea for just about everything. And children, more than
adults thrive under love and care. You will be surprised to know that a large number
of children who have high IQs and are brainy come from loving stress-free homes.
Educators find that secure and well-loved children perform better in school than
children from broken homes or stress-filled homes.
So, get ready to give umpteen hugs and kisses. Run with your child, hold his hand
without an excuse, play ball, get down on all fours and have a race with your toddler.
Interact at all levels and times.
Choosing Smart
Technology is a part of the life of children today. And right from being a toddler
kids are introduced to computers and all the interactive systems that come with
it. The choices in the market are more than a zillion. So, you must choose smartly
what will benefit your child greatly and what won’t.
Interactive CDs and other software produced by educators like Smart Neurons use
play and advanced graphics, music, and imagination to hone skills like language,
math, dexterity, and higher thinking in kids. Play thus becomes a great learning
experience.
The toys are designed to spark interest and creativity in the child. They have open-ended
options, which mean the child must make logical choices in order for the game to
proceed. This initiates concentration, absorption of facts, and abiding interest.
The toys develop skills like hand-eye co-ordination, verbal and written communication,
patience, and the ability to follow and understand instructions.
Choose a toy after considering what interests your child, his or her age, and strengths
as well as weaknesses. Make intelligent choices and be sure to read the instructions
thoroughly. Ask questions that come to your mind before making a purchase and be
a smart shopper, find out from other users about their experience with the toys.
Parenting is a bit like “playing god” or becoming his assistant. You first protect
and nurture and then undo the reins of control and revel in your creation.
