Correct Your Child's Posture

The other day my son came out of the room with a dupatta tied as a turban and other dupatta tucked around his waist. He stood in front of me with a toy sword and a sheild in his hands, his feet firm on the ground, slightly apart, posing strength and valour, pulled back his shoulders and said "I am the king Ashoka".
The point I want state here is, even kids know if they want to look like their favourite superhero they need to maintain a typical body posture. Parents can use this for their advantage in improving their kid's posture.

Why is posture so important?

  • When the posture is right, body is in harmony. There is no stress formed in any part of the body.
  • Right posture gives a firmness and helps balance as you walk or sit or move about or work.
  • Right posture aids in proper breathing and easy digestion
  • It makes you feel good and confident.
  • Good posture enhances your looks. 
  • It helps in clarity of speech.
  • Good posture helps in avoiding spine related problems in future.

Having known the benfits, let us see how we can help our kids in having a good posture while sitting, standing, or while doing any activity.


  • While standing, one should stand with feet little apart and weight of the body evenly distributed. Unknowingly kids or even we adults put more stress on one leg sometimes while standing. 
  • While sitting, make sure your kids feet touch flat on the floor. Other wise use a footrest. 
  • Make sure your child sits  completely relaxed in chair or on the floor.
  • Use a good chair with proper lumber support.
  • Height of the study table should be right. If too high adjust it by giving cushion while sitting.
  • Make your child push himself back when he sits on chair. Don't let him sit on the edge of the chair and recline.
  • Correct him when he slouches or bends too much while studying or doing any task.
  • Make sure your child doesn't sit or stand in an awkward position for a long time.
  • Any complication formed at this age can worsen in the future as the bones are still delicate.
Apart from this 
  • Send your child to dance class.
  • Or let him learn gymnastics
  • Or any kind of martial arts.
  • Teach him Surya Namaskaar or Sun Salutation. This is the best exercise to strengthen spine.
  • Or send him to yoga classes. If not atleast do Tadasan. This helps in having erect posture.
  • Sitting in Vajrasana  is also very useful.
Your little prince or princess when grow up will be very thankful to you for giving him a perfect physique.

Cultivate Skills In Kids Through Gardening

Image
These days with room full of toys, kids are getting bored not knowing what to play with. Having so many games to play online and so many cartoon channels, kids are getting depressed. Readiness of parents to gift them with everything they demand is making them more indulgent and impatient. Growing with all the luxuries and materialistic lifestyle, we are indirectly teaching kids to value things by its price. Teaching gardening is a simplest way to pull your kid out of all the above trouble. A Life skill which will never leave your kid hungry in any situation and a great way to relieve stress. Introducing your child to gardening is inculcating love for nature. It is like giving him a friend in disguise. A tool to acquire peace in the turmoil he might face in some part of his life. Indirectly you are nurturing gentleness, compassion, kindness and love to serve. And of course he has got lessons about germination, photosynthesis, which he can actually experiment with. Relate...

Teach Kids Life Skills: A Stitch In Time...

Image
      I had come to the music class to pick my child. There were other parents too who were waiting for the class to get over. As I was waiting, I overheard  conversation between two ladies. One lady was telling how her daughter was interested in learning embroidery and different stitches. The other lady, mother of two sons retorted "I would never let my sons learn this kind of things. I want them to be good at sports and instruments." I felt what"s the harm in learning to stitch. Many of us think in the same way.We want to bring up our kids to be independent adults but our actions contradict. Many of us carry misconceptions based on gender and type of work.     Stitching or hand sewing is an essential skill every child ( girl or a boy) must know.  Why? On the play ground in a small fight other kids have tugged your kid's uniform and it's stitches have come out.  Your kid is getting ready to go to school and the button falls off. ...

How To Tell Stories To Kids?

Knowing the benefits of stories, every mother and teacher should know how to tell stories  so that kids enjoy and learn. Like any other art story telling can be mastered by practice. There are stories around us and have been listening to many since our childhood. Just pick one which you are comfortable with. Start with a small story with a few characters. Voice: Narrate with a clear voice pronouncing the words properly. Try to bring variation in your voice according to the mood and characters. Bring the expressions out through your voice like anger, kindness, clumsiness. Pace: Keep proper pace appropriate to create the right atmosphere. Repeat the phrases or the words to bring in the effect.  Try to hum the repetition. Take pauses when required allowing it to assimilate, and to encourage questions or response from your kids. Questions : Ask questions and your kid's views so that they think and analyse. It helps them to frame questions and comp...
