Good parenting & development of cognitive skills in teenagers

These days the real communication between parents and teens has been lost due to technological advancements which are increasing the gap between generations exponentially. The impact of such things can be seen in children at their early development stages. Slow personality development, negative attitude, stressed atmosphere, poor cognitive skills, and hence bad overall confidence to face the world.

Parenting is one of the biggest contributors in engaging all the personality and growth related elements of teens these days. Moreover, only parents could comprehend the requirements of teens and give required time for them to discuss their daily challenges, accomplishment, and learning so that it can help teens improve their conversational and relational abilities. Improvement of cognitive skills depends hugely on an interaction of parents with children regularly. Games, pattern building exercises, to infuse curiosity and creativity through experience, and interest building learning in teens is critical. For healthy brain and cognition, physical activity is very important and it also enhances motor skills which help in scoring better grades/scores in reading and calculative tests.

Learning should be incremental and full of positivity in which teens use digital media a lot nowadays. If teens can get required support from parents along with interesting learning mediums like the internet, then it would help them to advance their cognitive function amazingly. Teens should be encouraged to engage in activities according to their interests. Regular participation in arts like painting, crafting, photography, dance etc. helps teens to innovate. If teens are inclined towards music, then regular practice could increase communications between different brain regions and hence, increase brain volume. Brain interpretation gets increased when a child plays an instrument. Additionally, novel reading helps in imagination and increases visualization. Teens should actively participate in brain training exercises like Rubik challenge and team building which help in enhancing planning skills. These activities help to maintain the optimum health levels in children and avoid issues of teens being felt lonely because that can result in a decline in cognitive abilities gradually.

Involvement of parents changes with different learning phases of children. Parents are the most significant source of positive energy who can provide and channel strong emotional understanding, problem-solving skills, flexibility in life, and communication within children. Therefore, It’s very important for them to understand and present with the positive attitude towards life. Simple involvement in the development phases of children could decrease the gap between generations and help each other progress with required positive energy. The upgrade of cognitive skills needs a nurturing environment and only parents-children duo can do that. Let your teens learn everything and develop their personality overall so that they can confront the world with full confidence.

Thank You NITIE! and Mumbai Meri Jaan!

On 11 th June 2015, NITIE’s admission office released 4 th  list of cleared students for PGDIM batch 2015-17. Boom!! I got the last seat … sheer luck I guess. That feeling was just splendid when I got a call from my friend who is studying in IIM Lucknow that Bhai! Ho gea tera. Time was 4:20 PM and I was working on my new project. After that call I started calling my closed ones. I can still feel that moment because when you’re a supply chain and operations enthusiast and you get admission to best B-school in that domain then nothing else can explain your happiness. NITIE is best among all B-schools let it be IIM A, B, C or any else when it comes to supply chain and operations. Big question, Why MBA?  was answered and that too in style. Oh my God! How would that be to go to classes again, meeting new people, living in Mumbai, doing new assignments, late night chats, parties and lot of college fun.  I called my boss personally and told him everything. He was glad yet befud

Characteristics of Bhangra :)

Bhangra is something I always love to watch and perform. The energy level, coordination, and team participation are something I have learnt from Bhangra. As far as characteristics are concerned, following areas can be discussed: Health : Bhangra needs a lot of energy and stamina. One has to jump several times during performance being a part of joining steps and formation. Thump on stage should be there when someone is doing the bhangra which one feels proud of. Moving on the whole stage, moving your legs in air half of the time, cardio level warms up (performers play Kabaddi generally to warm up), using a lot of props (very heavy most of the time) and much more make body lean & athletic. So health wise Bhangra has an excellent plan for you. Team skills : Bhangra needs a team of at least 8–10 people. Coordination is a core of bhangra. If one performer is not giving his/her 100% means performance would be affected. Steps and formation are just 40% of the whole ac

When I realized what I was doing!.....

You start adoring someone, it could be your first day in college, office or anywhere else in this diminutive world. There is a very fine line between loving or adoring someone. Generally, we draw a conclusion that if we love him/her unconditionally then he/she should also understand that. How could someone be so egotistic that he/she is only thinking about him/herself and not about the other person? At one point of time in my life, I went through the same phase. I started liking one girl who was certainly not very much interested in me, but I expressed my selfishness to literally force her to say yes to me. Now there are many cases to explain this, one could be the case that she was my good friend so she thought to give it a chance at least. Second could be that she was going through a difficult time with her boyfriend and she needed someone who could take care of her, not for the time pass but to really make her feel good. I guess I took advantage of that to let her say yes. Rea
