parenting tips

The summer sun is beating down on Bangalore, and temperatures are soaring! While we all feel the heat, children are especially vulnerable to dehydration, heatstroke, and discomfort. But fear not, parents! Here are some tips to keep your kids cool, healthy, and engaged during the hot summer months.

Staying Cool and Hydrated:

Hydration is Key: Ensure your children sip on water throughout the day, even if they don’t feel thirsty. Pack a reusable water bottle for outings and encourage frequent water breaks.

Dress It Cool: Opt for loose, breathable cotton clothes in light colors. Avoid tight-fitting synthetics that trap heat.

Beat the Sun: Limit outdoor playtime during peak sun hours (usually between 11 am and 4 pm). Seek shade whenever possible and encourage sun hats and sunglasses for added protection.

Healthy Habits for Hot Days:

Adjust Mealtimes: Opt for smaller, more frequent meals instead of heavy lunches. Focus on fruits and vegetables with high water content like watermelon, cucumber, and leafy greens.

Popsicles for Hydration: Make homemade popsicles from fruits, yogurt, or coconut water for a fun and hydrating treat.

Cooling Activities: Take advantage of sprinklers, kiddie pools, or water balloons for some splashy fun at home!

Staying Engaged When It’s Hot:

Indoor Playtime: Get creative with indoor activities like board games, reading, or arts and crafts.

Educational Fun: Explore online educational resources, age-appropriate documentaries, or virtual museum tours.

Beat the Heat with Books: Stock up on age-appropriate books about summer, sunshine, or water adventures.

By following these simple tips, you can help your children stay cool, healthy, and happy all summer long!

Exams can be a stressful time for children and parents alike. As a parent, you want to support your child through this challenging period and help them maintain their motivation to excel academically. At Kritagyata Trust, we understand the importance of nurturing a positive mindset in children during exams. In this blog post, we’ll share practical tips and strategies to keep your child motivated and focused throughout their exams.

1. Create a Supportive Environment: Start by creating a conducive environment at home that promotes concentration and reduces distractions. Designate a quiet study area for your child, free from noise and interruptions. Ensure they have all the necessary study materials readily available.

2. Set Realistic Goals: Work with your child to set realistic goals for their exams. Break down larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps, and encourage them to create a study schedule. Setting achievable goals will boost their confidence and motivation as they see their progress.

3. Encourage Breaks and Relaxation: Remind your child of the importance of taking regular breaks during study sessions. Encourage them to engage in activities they enjoy, whether it’s going for a walk, practicing a hobby, or simply taking a few moments to relax and unwind. Balancing study time with relaxation is essential for maintaining motivation and preventing burnout.

4. Provide Positive Reinforcement: Offer praise and encouragement to your child throughout the exam preparation process. Acknowledge their hard work and achievements, no matter how small. Positive reinforcement will help boost their confidence and motivation to continue striving for success.

5. Teach Stress Management Techniques: Exams can evoke feelings of stress and anxiety in children. Teach your child practical stress management techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, or visualization. Encourage them to stay positive and focus on their strengths rather than dwelling on potential setbacks.

6. Lead by Example: As a parent, you play a crucial role in modeling positive behaviors for your child. Demonstrate a healthy attitude towards exams and academic challenges. Share your own experiences of overcoming obstacles and celebrating successes. Your positive attitude will inspire and motivate your child to approach exams with confidence and determination.

7. Offer Practical Support: Provide practical support to help alleviate any concerns or anxieties your child may have about exams. Offer to quiz them on study material, provide assistance with difficult concepts, or connect them with resources such as tutors or study groups if needed. Your support will reassure your child that they are not alone in their academic journey.

Conclusion: Exam season can be a demanding time for both parents and children, but with the right support and encouragement, your child can thrive academically. By creating a supportive environment, setting realistic goals, and offering positive reinforcement, you can help cultivate a motivated mindset in your child during exams. At Kritagyata Trust, we believe in empowering children to reach their full potential, and by implementing these strategies, you can support your child on their path to success.

I visited this orphanage as a part of a team and had fun with kids through activities like origami, diya painting etc. It's very well managed and maintained. The children were confident and was happy to know that the children are doing their schooling in a near by private institution. The orphanage seems to be really bringing the vision of Beti Bachao Beti Padao to a reality. I was told that the kids are single parented and most of the practices at orphanage which were explained by the management are with a vision to have ensure children become valuable individuals of the society. I was told that this orphanage is registered and maintains transparency in all respects. If anyone is willing to donate then they get a receipt which can be showcased for tax exemption. I would certainly recommend to visit this orphanage, if you are looking to visit one.
