🏛 The sound of the bell after each class... What do you remember feeling when that bell rang?
🏛 I remember feeling relieved, quickly shutting my book and getting ready for lunch, heading home, or moving on to the next class.
🏛 But have you ever thought about what this simple act of bell ringing has done to us over the years?
🏛 It taught us to stop whatever we were doing, no matter how interesting, and move on. It subtly suggested that nothing is so important that it can’t be shut down and forgotten after a while.
🏛 Is this really how the world works?
🏛 Some days, I find myself stuck on a complex problem, one that demands deep thought and persistent effort. Instead of diving into the solution, I catch myself looking for breaks, wishing someone would tell me, "This isn't important anymore." But I am required to solve the problem before moving on to the next one.
🏛 This underlying lesson of not needing to focus on anything for long is significantly diminishing our attention span and ability to concentrate.
🏛 Why is the education system imparting a practice that is so misaligned with real life demands?
What do you think about this?
As per current situation and learning system we can adopt and change in ourselves with stressful life.
Successful parenting can indeed learn valuable lessons from school. Here are some examples:
1. *Homework*: Just like homework helps children learn and reinforce new skills, parents can "assign" themselves tasks to improve their parenting, such as reading books or attending workshops.
2. *Classroom management*: Teachers use various strategies to manage their classrooms. Parents can apply similar techniques, like setting clear boundaries and creating a structured environment, to manage their home and family.
3. *Lesson planning*: Teachers plan engaging lessons to meet their students' needs. Parents can plan activities and outings that promote learning and bonding with their children.
4. *Assessments and feedback*: Regular assessments help teachers understand their students' progress. Parents can use regular check-ins and open communication to understand their child's needs and adjust their approach.
5. *Collaboration*: Teachers often work with colleagues to share ideas and best practices. Parents can connect with other parents, join support groups, or seek guidance from experts to improve their parenting.
6. *Patience and understanding*: Teachers know that every child learns at their own pace. Parents can apply this same patience and understanding when guiding their child's development.
7. *Positive reinforcement*: Teachers use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior. Parents can use praise, rewards, and recognition to encourage positive behavior in their children.
8. *Adaptability*: Teachers adapt their teaching methods to meet different learning styles. Parents can be flexible and adjust their approach to meet their child's unique needs.
By applying these school lessons, parents can become more effective, supportive, and successful in their parenting journey!
Successful parenting involves raising a child who is:
1. *Confident*: Encourage independence, self-expression, and risk-taking.
2. *Resilient*: Teach coping skills, adaptability, and emotional regulation.
3. *Curious*: Foster a love for learning, exploration, and creativity.
4. *Empathetic*: Model kindness, compassion, and understanding towards others.
5. *Self-disciplined*: Establish clear boundaries, routines, and consequences.
6. *Positive*: Cultivate a growth mindset, optimism, and gratitude.
7. *Authentic*: Embrace individuality, uniqueness, and self-acceptance.
8. *Connected*: Nurture strong relationships, communication, and attachment.
9. *Adaptable*: Encourage flexibility, openness, and embracing change.
10. *Happy*: Prioritize joy, playfulness, and a sense of humor.
To achieve this, focus on:
- *Consistent parenting*
