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.
