Engage your child intellectually


MY 4.9 year daughter , while bargaining for a glass of frooti tells me "Like shark is the predator of Dolphin and Dolphin is the predator of fish, I am the predator of Frooti!"

Somewhere I felt so proud of her and specifically for my focused approach!It all started with one of my numerous views of "3 idiots".I asked myself "Is my child learning like the character of Aamir or chatur!"
In our times, we used to rote subjects , give exams , promoted to next class and most of the times, the information we rote used to remain in books of the previous class, never used to move with us.Has anything changed in our children’s times. Yes, the fees we pay is much higher now, our children go in AC buses, AC classrooms, smart boards, more extracurricular. But do you think anything has changed on ground with regards to the curriculum and the job oriented education system("Beta bade ho
kar kya banoge" ). There’s so much focus on syllabus completion, ranking, exams...

I started this with my daughter. One topic a week, let's say "Giant Panda", I used to talk to her it, about what it eats, its life cycle, its predators, lives in which country, amazing facts about that topic.It was a wonderful experience and benefit was not just knowledge gain but the attitude to seek knowledge.

I succeeded in conducting a 3 week summer camp with amazing topics like fingerprints, flowers, dolphins, etc with interesting activities to ingrain the knowledge
deeply.

Now, I am extending it to weekend classes ["General awareness + Fun Science experiments"]

1. Ocean of knowledge ranging from Oceans, Countries, Penguins, Oysters, Butterflies, Honeybees, Camels, Pigeons, fingerprints...

2. Alternate Class will include fun science experiments with easy to understand scientific explanations on Air, water, Heat,static electricity, Magnetism and many
more...
