Play and Learn

A LOOK AT HOME CONSTRUCTIVE PLAY CAN HELP YOUR CHILD LEARN

Play and Learn

While you might heave a sigh of relief every time your child settles down to play, it might surprise you to learn that play has many more advantages besides just keeping your child busy and occupied for a large part of the day.

Recent studies have shown that good and constructive play actually helps children learn. Most importantly, it helps children better understand and get along with other people.

Play also helps and motivates your baby to cope with and master his world. Your baby explores himself, you, the world around him and the dynamics of movement through play. You will find that his learning process continues right through adolescence, only the lessons change.

Given below are a few age-appropriate suggestions on how to get your child to learn while he plays:

For newborn babies

Read out aloud

The top tool for learning at any age! Start by reading to your baby from books filled with bright colours, bold pictures and rhythmic language. As your child gets older, allow him to choose books that reflect his interests.

Unbreakable mirrors

You will notice that simple things we tend to take for granted really hold the attention of small babies.

Though your child may not identify with his reflection because babies do not develop a sense of the self until they’re at least a year old, he will enjoy looking at it. Also, the play of light and colour will leave him fascinated.

Pop-up toys

Not only are these fun bit they also help n honing the skills of your baby. They aid coordination in order babies and help them make the connection between cause and effect.

For toddlers

Hammering sets

These sets are usually inexpensive and keep small children busy for a long time. The set allows kids to hammer pegs or balls through holes and end up teaching your child all about spatial relations and cause and effect, while also letting them expend some of that boundless toddler energy.

For pre-schoolers

Play dough

There’s colourful dough available at all stores and if you want to make it at home, go ahead and conjure up some by mixing equal parts of flour and salt with a little water. You can colour the dough with food colouring. It also lasts a long time in the refrigerator. They provide with an adequate vent for your child’s creative inclination.

Blocks

Whether inexpensive or fancy, blocks are a winner for kids of just about any age. It lets them be as creative as they want and they end up building some pretty fascinating structures.

And don’t worry, building block towers and knocking them down can be equally educational activities. He’ll be rearing to get started all over again!

For school-going kids

Magnets, magnifying glasses and telescopes

To encourage a budding love of science, pick up these tools of the trade. Even a basic set of magnets from the hardware store and a pile of paper clips can be tons of educational fun.

Board games

Take out the old board games for a night of family fun. Checkers and chess teach strategy, Scrabble provides great spelling and vocabulary practice and Monopoly gives math skills a workout.

Just be sure to choose age-appropriate games to avoid boredom.

Happiness Makeovers

Happiness Makeovers

Sanity saving indulgences for Moms

It is one of those days when you begin with your favourite litany `It’s great to be a mom’ and it doesn’t seem to do the trick. You can’t seem to summon the energy to be all that a mom should be … relax…you’re suffering from that common malady we all go through once in a while – parental burnout. The remedy – take a real break. For five minutes stop worrying about being mother, and start enjoying being one. It could become a habit. Try these simple idea.

Relax and re-energize.

A warm soak

A long relaxing bath, music playing in the back-ground and the company of a good book is a favourite escape recommended by many of our readers. The warmth of the water releases tension and relaxes you completely. This small pleasure offers enormous returns.

The Happiness Factor: Getting your brood in and having a whale of time together in the shower.

Body work

Some form of physical pampering where for a bring interlude you have skilled hands taking care of you, while you relax.

The Happiness Factor: Having small unskilled hands pampering you and getting each of your nails painted a different colour, and your hair looking well…er...different.

Healthy indulgences

A walk in the fresh air, an invigorating aerobic routine, a leisurely swim, or a game of whichever sport you enjoyed can get you re-energized.

The Happiness Factor: Choosing a favourite activity that gets you out of your everyday routine and into another dimension – rolling on the grass, running around playing peek-a-boo, dancing in the rain, jumping into mud puddles with your kids.

Deep sleep

The chance to sleep late in the morning or an afternoon siesta – any kind of shut-eye is something of a miracle, but these are by far the best moments, easily managed with planning and cajoling. These hard to catch-up-on REMs can do a lot to recharge batteries.

The Happiness Factor: Having that small warm body snuggled close beside you.

Mini - makeover

A shopping spree – and a new outfit can do wonders for the psyche. Like a mini-makeover it will help you feel renewed. Although don’t be surprised if you return with bags laden more with baby things than yours.

The Happiness Factor: Shopping, shopping and more shopping. Does it matter – what’s whose!

Things that grow

Try your hand at gardening. The fresh air, exercise and rewards of watching your garden, are truly rejuvenating – and provide a sense of accomplishment when the rest of yor life seems to be mired in piles of washing and dirty dishes.

The Happiness Factor: Striking the secret gardens.

Time alone

A solitary movie-viewing, a solo walk provides a simple break. Snatch this time whenever you can and gradually fit it into your schedule. Re-acquaint yourself with the ability to disconnect and retreat into your own pleasure pockets.

The Happiness Factor: Catching up with yourself.

Reading

Time alone to read a book – or even just a magazine – all the way through is a major feat when you’re a mother. Snatch the time when you can, and you’ll find that reading provides a cohesive narrative when your own life feels fragmented.

The Happiness Factor: Reading is an infectious activity. Who knows you might just get everybody hooked to it. A family of bookworms – wow!

Allow yourself to grow

Learn something new, take up a hobby, and link up with your friends. The joys of motherhood and the joys of being you are not mutually exclusive domains. Finding the connection is what growth is all about.

The Happiness Factor: Enjoying the mysteries of life.

Involve your partner, your children in chores

Get chores done quickly on holidays, so that you can all enjoy time together. Delegate according to age and ability so that you are not called on to finish tasks – and try not to be perfectionist. Once the chores are done go out for a spin, with a relaxed frame of mind knowing that you can return to a clean house.

The Happiness Factor: It’s nice to know that work is being done, and for a change you are not the one struck with it.

Spend time with your partner

Go for an unplanned long drive, put on the music, dim the lights and have a late candlelight dinner, just the two of you. With a little bit of planning set the children off to bed early when you want to have those quiet moments together – share love, life and laughter. Allow yourself to feel cherished. Let the woman in you live.

The Happiness Factor: What more do you want?

Ask for a kiss

“Give me a kiss.” When those tiny arms go around your neck and those baby lips give you the sweetest kiss you realise that going insane once in a while may be worth it!

The Happiness Factor: We don’t need to tell you this, do we?

The Supermom Myth

Stop trying to be the perfect mother, you’ll find yourself consciously relaxing and becoming a happier person. Allow your children the space to do their own thing without constantly overseeing every activity.

If keeping your house in spotless condition all the time is causing you strain and also making you a strain to be with, try to let go a little – both you and your family can then relax.

Money Wise

Money Wise

Teaching your child the ABC’s of money can be fun and easy you may find that the lifelong benefits of teaching children good money habits make it well worth the effort. Most people have strong feelings and opinions about money, based on the values and beliefs of their families and childhood experiences. Most often, these values, beliefs and experiences are different for each parent. It is vital for the healthy development of children that parents talk about these feelings and opinions and establish a consistent approach to teaching children about money.

As they grow, children learn in stages, adding layers of understanding to basic concepts that they’ve collected. This applies to their understanding of money as well. But while attitudes start to form early, a true understanding of economic concepts doesn’t begin until children are older. As a parent your role is then, to match your expectations with your child’s abilities. Here are some tips:

1. When teaching children about money, parents need to make an effort to think in children’s terms, not adult terms. For instance, a young child may not adult terms. For instance, a young child may ask his parents how much money they make, but what he may really want to know is not how much parents earn, but why he can’t have a certain toy. It is important for parents to use examples or activities that match the child’s stage of development so that he can comprehend what exactly it is that you are trying to tell him.

2. Children want to know how to operate in the adult world. It would help to see simple, concrete examples to explain financial actions. For instance, if you regularly give your child coins to put in a piggy bank, even if he doesn’t know the difference between a one rupee coin and a five rupee coin, he will understand that the piggy bank is getting fuller and that the action is something called saving. Any time money is earned, moved, spent, donated, shared, borrowed or saved provides an opportunity for parents to teach children how the money world works and what thoughts and feelings go into making money decisions.

3. Setting goals is a fundamental concept to help young people learn the value of money and also how to save. Nearly every toy or other item that children ask their parents to get for them can become the object of a goal-setting session. Children as young as three and four years can be inspired to start saving as long as you link the concept to a tangible goal that they can relate to. Benefits of saving to achieve the goal is an important aspect and provides built-in motivation. Kids love to be given responsibility and the change to participate in grown-up activities. Goal-setting for good grades or toys may help children learn to become responsible for their own future.

4. Many parents may agree that teaching kids to share their good fortune with others may be one of the most important money lessons that we, as parents, can share with out children. As with everything else in life, kids learn best by example. You don’t have to regale your child with tales of your charitable works to prove that you care. But there is no point in your hiding everyday acts of kindness either. If you’re taking a meal to a friend who has just gotten out of the hospital, say so. If you help raise funds for a worthy cause, you could talk about it. If you give money to an organization you believe in, it would help to explain why doing so is important to you. By talking about to whom and how you give, you not only show your kids the importance of giving itself, but you’re sharing your values about the issues that may be close to your heart.

5. Teaching your kids how to manage money begins with you. So it is crucial that you treat your own money with respect and a good way to do that may be to get your own financial house in order. Young children learn about money by observation and repetition, much the same way as they learn social graces. Children have watchful eyes. Small changes in your money habits such as bending down to pick up a 25 paise coin or counting your change instead of stuffing it in your wallet, could teach your child that even small amounts are significant. You can’t completely mould your child’s perspective, but you can teach your child to respect money and the hard work it represents.

6. Games are a great way to entertain your child while building a basic understanding of money. You could try playing games where he is the shopkeeper or vegetable vendor and you can be the customer. Have your child price items with stickers and use play money to buy the items. Young children intuitively associate size with value. The bigger something is, the more kids think it’s worth. To dismiss this wrong notion, try playing some simple counting games with money. Starting around three or four years, for instance, you and your child can have fun building stacks of coins of equivalent value. Then let him knock them down and start over.

7. Go to the bank! Check with your bank to see what accounts are available for children and the required minimum balance. When your child has saved enough in his piggy bank, take him to the bank and open a savings account. Encourage your kids to make regular deposits, so that they can see their money grow.

8. Alert children to the dangers of borrowing. Charge interest on small loans that you make to them so they will learn quickly how expensive it is to borrow someone else’s money. Credit is all about borrowing another’s money for a specified period of time.

9. Let your child know that you can’t afford to buy everything you want, either. This could be brought out while window-shopping together. Communicate about money and try to explain the bigger financial picture. For most kids, the financial wheels that keep their household running are invisible. Mummy and papa pay the bills, make decisions about spending and saving, and do the money-management. One way could be to invite your child to sit with you as you pay your monthly bills, which gives you a natural opportunity to talk about expenses and perhaps, some of the financial goals for which your family is saving. For example, you could show him that going for a movie the car, popcorn, drinks, time and energy. This will help him be more aware when making financial decisions.

10. Enjoy money. You work hard for it, and it’s a good thing to enjoy it by spending it on things that bring you pleasure. Dream together, such as buying a new home and how you’ll work as a family to achieve those dreams.
