Guidance for life's first phase


Guidance for life is the most important thing. This guidance can be obtained from three major sources Guru (Teacher), Elders (Parents, Brother, Sister) and Media (Books, Journal,TV & Internet). Guru gives knowledge, Elders give learning and Media provides extra knowledge & learning.

The Guidance for life will include right from the beginning of life to the end of life, i.e. for each phase of life.

-->How to handle a child in a right manner,
-->Men as a father how much to be strict & lovable for children,
-->Men as a brother how can guide & support to his brother or sister,

Before coming into the guidance points for empowerment of children, let us know the most important necessities of a child. These are as follows-
1. Good & positive environment in family as well as in the society.
2. Good friends
3. Good neighbors
4. Ideal mother & father

8. Entertainment facilities
9. Time for compulsory studies
10. Way of doing homework
11.Time for the general knowledge

Role of mother for her child

1st primary school of a child is his/her own home, where mother plays a most significant role for the growth of children physically as well as mentally. The basic needs' habit comes from the childhood; timely food, study, play and sleep. Mother should give all the necessary nutrition like Horolicks, Complans, Chyawanprash, Shankhpushpi on time regularly.

Right from the beginning of the day Mom should wake-up child on time, make him/her ready for school, before coming back from the school; the snack should be ready, after having snacks make children to play with friends outdoor as well as indoor games. Again prepare him for tuition, later on find time for his/her homework. Allow him for entertainment like TV for Cartoon Network or music for sometime and make sure that child is sleeping on time.

Try to avoid the children from sleeping on the day time and developing habit of late night. "Early to bed and early to rise, makes man healthy, wealthy & wise".

Role of father for his Child

-->Display the examples for the children by being regular or by having good habits. Right from the beginning of the day and till end of the day schedule self in such a manner that would show real greatness of father. Show the ideal way of communication to others during meeting at home or at the phone.
--> Get some time for children, play with them and love as much as possible. If it is possible; drop your kid till his/her school rather than by the driver.
-->Get time to spend in holidays with whole family, make a trip and make the life more joyful.
-->Go to the party & display the high energy level, show the ideal way of communicating or dealing with people when they meet. Enjoy the party and make the day of others as well as of children.
-->Not only be the lovable; sometimes it's also most important to be rude and strict if it is necessary. Specially, when child has done something wrong, punish or treat in this way that would remind always him what's the right thing to do on that situation.
-->Instead of stopping children to do wrong; tell them about the consequences of that action with love and make them understanding.
-->Love is so powerful that can do miracles, someone has said"pyaar se bolo toh jaan bhi hazir hai". Definitely, when someone says the right thing (truth) at wrong place or time and with wrong way, then it becomes wrong, so let them know the things at right time and by right way, most probably at alone; without hearting his/her Feelings and Ego.
-->If you are with the right character and 100% pure, then how your child can go wrong.
-->Parents must watch Aamir Khan's movie "Taare Jameen par".

Role of a Teacher for Kids

The role of a teacher for the improvement of child might be as follows-
-->Understand the sentiments or mental level of a child and treat accordingly.
-->No body comes in this planet with learning things; whatever he gets are the exposures in his life span.
-->Teacher can boost the confidence of children by praising him when perform well and can give support & further guidance for doing better when he fails.
-->Always encourage a kid to do better & think positively.
-->Query is the key for learning, so teacher should encourage for asking questions.
-->Show the ideal characteristics to the children; like discipline,strictness for bad things, honesty, etc. so that they can imitate these and apply in daily life.
-->Use body language, take help of drawings and some creative ways of description so that a kid can understand the things very well.
-->Teacher can encourage them to take part in playing and doing the things of their own creative interest.
-->Every child has his own talent hidden inside; only the thing is that someone should give him exposure or opportunity to show it.
-->Teacher can give home works and tests to keep them busy.
-->Teacher must give punishment when children has done wrong, after sometime or someday show the love at alone or praise on their improvement.
-->In Chhattisgarhi (Hindi) one famous slogan is there "Und Guru ke Bund Chela, Narkha kund me thelam thela", so the future of a kid depends upon how he gets knowledge from the Guru. Also in Sanskrit "Gurur brahma, gurur Vishnu & gurur devo maheshwarh"; Guru is compared with the god, so teacher should be role model for the child.
