How to make your kids get into reading?

Posted on: June 30, 2022

Studies have found that most of the habits you follow religiously in your adulthood are a consequence of your childhood patterns. If you were a reader in childhood, chances are likely that you will become an avid book enthusiast once you are an adult. So it's very important for parents to make sure that a good set of habits are imparted in kids while growing up. But it is obvious that not all children are easy to convince. They have their tantrums and often run away from studies. You can start by just 15 minutes a day and then increase the time gradually. Start with easy comprehensions irrespective of their reading capacity. Try to activate all the senses while making them read. For example if you child is reading a passage make them touch or smell things similar to what they are reading about. If the story is about a flower then bring a flower. Tell them to form mental images of whatever they are reading. This increases the interest of the kids. These methods with persistence are the key to becoming a good reader.

Why should you choose to study abroad after 12th standard?

Posted on: June 29, 2022

Many of us aren't able to understand the buzz around studying abroad and why everyone is following the trend like they have lost their own sight. But it's actually more than just a trend and has deeper meaning and consequences to it. Not only it gives you a global overview but also helps in building connections worldwide. Very imperatively it helps you travel the world and see so many things you wouldn't be able to if you choose to study in your own country. Other than that, competition in India for the top universities is very high. Applicants are a lot more than the seats available. Private universities charge heavy fees which are not even worth the investment. Fields like medical and engineering have become suicide streams for students as they aren't able to face the extreme competitiveness. Being really good at studies in your college also doesn't assure if you will get a job or not. The salaries are also very low in India.
