Hot Shots - Activation

 





Responses for the above :

Doing

Malathi : Picked up my son's coloring activity book & colored couple of figures.  I was feeling good while I was coloring, remembered how I was not liking my drawing class in school days.  After coloring felt lighter & less thoughts, also got into good mood. 

Questioning:

Malathi : I see boys playing with cars and making those weird sounds, running all around the house, while girls  like coloring & singing activities, sitting in one place.


Expectations
 
Hema Swaroopa : My child doing: hitting others Just like that Expectation: even if i tell him that hurts why he repeats. I wish he stops this.

Shivani:  We are reading a book at bedtime it’s crossed bed time. It’s school next day. In a hurry I tell her let’s stop now we need to sleep there is school tomorrow we are getting very late you’ll not be able to get up in the morning.



Ishita : 

  1. My children using stuff around the house and making something out of them. My husband and I enjoy their creativity and imagination but expect them to dismantle and cleanup afterwards. Without this expectation there would be a complete mess around the house!!
  2. The child is taking online classes. Our expectation is that she is following along and doing whatever the teacher is asking her to do. Without this expectation being enforced her focus would be in the chat window on what her friends are typing in, and not on the topic at hand.
  3.  The child is playing with her friends and is fully activated and enjoying herself. But it is past 8pm, our expectation is that she stops the play and comes home to wind down for the day. Without this expectation, we would all be up till late in the night and have a difficult day the next day. 
Shivani Replied : I agree to the top ones you’ve mentioned it happens all the time

Thought Bite - Maths on the road ! - Logical Intelligence

Image
First outdoor with different age kids. The goal was to explore “maths in Traffic”. We began by collecting data at two different signals. We counted vehicles,  categorized them like color, size, shape, brand, and so on. We explored a lot of concepts – counting, addition, subtraction ratio, and proportion.    We analyzed the data in different forms – graphs, writing words instead of numbers, drawing designs in graphs, the ratio of male and female drivers, people with hamlets and without a helmet and inferring ratio, brands of bikes, colors of bikes (black was more than red), unique colors (green car) and so on. It was learning for me to explore how different children were counting, how they were analyzing the data, how they were observing, and lot more……… KIDS SPEAK I observed the waiting at a junction and were letting other vehicles cross. I observed the timings at the signals, the second, sequence. I observed the dividers, speed breakers, and the roads. I wrote down what ...

Thought Bite - Oh No! It's time to do some unlearning

Image
Its time for us parents to go back to school - not to learn new things, but to unlearn - ​ a whole lot of what we have ​been ​unfortunately conditioned with.   Its time ​to question our beliefs, its time for some de-weeding   ​ - to create a better, more organic, more meaningful and vitalizing ecosystem for our children. We share 2​0 such​ "OH NOs" ​ below.   1.  We are supposed to teach the students according to the syllabus.“Oh,No!” The syllabus is only an excuse to make them think, to develop this core ability. 2.  Knowledge is powerful.  ​  “Oh,No!” Knowledge is a commodity. The real power is each child's ability to apply knowledge. 3.  Children need to know. “Oh,No!” Children need to experience and understand. From understanding will sprout knowledge of all kinds, of all requirements. 4.  That, who has scored high marks has understood. “Oh,No!”.  ​Mere marks do not guarantee understanding or learning. 5.  That who scored low ma...

Thought bites - MATH-LOGIC INTELLIGENCE

MATH-LOGIC INTELLIGENCE   Mathematical and logical intelligence is the ability to quickly understand mathematical and logical problems Logical-Mathematical Intelligence is also the ability to appreciate and calculate the effect of actions upon objects or ideas. And the relationships among them. To apply reasoning skills, to provide solutions and recognize patterns to overcome complex mathematical and logical challenges as well as solving critical and creative problems. Though there is a widespread belief that those who want to improve their logical intelligence should be very good at mathematics, this is not necessarily the case.     What it implies to? Math logic application in real life, to solve problems, in the field of construction, Laboratories for testing, reason through important decisions, solve problems, generate creative ideas and set goals, drafting, to make story around math concept, To play with the logic, to find your own theory behind the concept,...
