I still remember the day my daughter hesitated to join a dance class. She loved dancing at home but was too nervous about performing in front of others. "What if I mess up?" she asked. I told her about my first attempt at painting—how I had spilled colors everywhere but ended up loving the process. With that, she agreed to try, and a few weeks later, she was twirling on stage with a huge smile. This experience taught me that fear of failure can hold children back, but with the right encouragement, they can overcome it and discover new passions. Here’s how you can help your child embrace new activities without fear. 1. Start Small and Build Confidence Introduce new activities in a gradual and manageable way. Start with simple challenges that your child can easily accomplish. Success in small steps builds their confidence and curiosity. For example, if they’re nervous about drawing, ask them to start with doodles before trying a full picture. 2. Offer Choices to Empower Them Le...

Why I Wrote This Article As someone who interacts with children daily, both as a parent and a tutor, I’ve often wondered how we can make learning more enjoyable and impactful for them. Traditional methods, while effective to some extent, don’t always cater to the unique pace and needs of every child. This led me to explore how emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) could transform education. Imagine a future where every child learns in their own way, receives instant feedback, and feels motivated to explore new ideas. The possibilities are endless, and that’s why I’m sharing how AI can open new horizons for our children. Personalized Learning for Every Child One of the most promising aspects of AI is its ability to adapt to individual learning needs. Every child is different—some grasp concepts quickly, while others need more time. AI-powered systems can analyze a child’s strengths and weaknesses and create lessons that match their abilities. For example, if a child st...

Balancing costs, curriculum, and teaching styles can be daunting. This guide is designed to help you navigate these choices by providing a thoughtful comparison of private and government schools at the nursery and primary levels. 1.

Chhath Puja has always been close to my heart, though for years, I couldn’t actively participate. This year, as I watched the preparations and heard the sounds of the festival around me, something stirred within.
