New Age
World School aims at building up the luminous future of the students by
providing and nurturing them with a stress free environment, the school motto
being “To Set the Child Free”.
Academic success
and higher order brain functioning are very much a result of a stress free
mind. Children learn best in stress free and playful environment. Kids can
develop many skills through play. Do not try to force learning.
A
child starts learning when we see children as innately wise and independent.
Always be a guide and never try to teach. It is not always the quantity of
learning that breaks a child but the way he chooses to learn. As responsible
teachers provide a stress free environment by creating opportunities for
independent learning. Avoid comparing among students .Always keep in mind that
each and every child is unique. Applying pressure may have opposite effect on a
student’s progress.
A
responsible teacher always tries to discover the ups and downs in a child’s
intellectual, emotional, social behavior a child. Help the child to overcome
his difficulties and develop and nurture his innate skills.
Short
breathing and meditation exercises can be done to help kids stay calm and focus
on the task at hand.
Kids need
to spend time in nature .We should understand that as human beings we are
instinctively drawn towards our natural surroundings. In stress free natural
environment we practice an effortless type of attention which creates a feeling
of pleasure and not fatigue. Sports, especially outdoor games is an
indispensable part of education for an overall development of the personality
of a child. Sports helps in physical development. Sports help students relax
and reduce their anxiety.
He learns
to deal with setbacks, work better with others and increase the energy levels
which helps to balance studies and games equally. They learn to face defeat
with a smile and maintain humility even in victory. Games fill the minds of
kids with joy and enthusiasm which helps them to face the actual difficulties
of life with a healthy mind and will power. Qualities like tolerance, patience
and tips to handle pressure is well taught in sports. It promotes health and
strength of the body. They strengthen the power of endurance and promote
discipline, fair play and team spirit. For an all-round development of a child
the curriculum should include sports and games and physical training.
Dealing
with adolescence is not an easy task.
• Talk
like an adult to them but remember they are still children.
• Have
patience but be firm.
• Be a
positive influence to students.
• Fear of
failure is the biggest barrier to facing challenges-This can be overcome by
facilitating an environment where students know mistakes won’t be mocked or
criticized.
• While
teens have a responsibility to manage their own behavior by understanding the
changes and challenges they face, teachers should help them navigate this as
happily and successfully as possible.
• Help
them to set high goals for their future and channelize their energies towards
the attainment of their goals.
• A
teacher should not get frustrated or disappointed at normal adolescent
behaviour.
• Make
sure that students understand that it’s their behaviour you dislike not them.
• Try to
find the root cause of misbehaviour.
• Always
be an attentive listener. Treat them respectfully and politely.
• Reward
or recognize acceptable behaviour .Try to share your humanity with your
students.
• With
proper care, attention and affection teachers can help teens cross their
adolescence peacefully, confidently and with determination to march towards
their future goals.
