Websites for Homeschooling

Image
Homeschooling is an art and part of parenting. It is essential for kids and parents to have learning from home too. Parents who are educated and knowledgeable too need certain study plan and respective study materials to teach their kids. Some believe that  Facebook pages and YouTube channels are enough for study materials, which is not true. They are just trailers and we cannot rely them for everything. Also, those social sites are high in distractions.  Parents who are interested in homeschooling and interested to introduce many new subjects apart from their school curriculum should sign up for exclusive educational sites and take part in parenting forums Following are few of the educational sites that I came across. I'm glad to share them with a hope that it will benefit interested parents.

Letter to my daughter on the first day of her school

Mithra, Your next phase of life has begun. You are one of the few blessed kids to have pre school education.  You also enjoy the advantages of being a second kid. If u ever get a thought of not getting anything first, when compared to your brother, remember, u get the best. Because, for Udaya many are trial and error, because we choose him anything with the inputs of secondary resources.  For u, we choose with the experiences we acquired from Udaya. This school Valley Montessori is such a choice. We saw with eyes filled with pride of how it has moulded Udaya and gave the best early education. To our surprise his teachers also feel proud of him and exclaim at his performances.  No dear,  don't think that we gonna compare his performance with yours. Just because we give the same to both of u, we don't expect the same from both of u. We know, you both are special in ur own ways. We are proud for what u are, even before joining school.  U have st...

What is the change you brought in your family's wedding tradition?

There are many age-old rituals and traditions that we follow during marriages. Do you think that some of them need to be changed? Do you feel that the way we conduct marriages have changed but we still stick to the traditions without understanding the requirement of following them? What do you feel about this subject? Let us discuss. Today I saw a Bengali bride's viral video click here , which touched my heart so deeply. In their wedding tradition, there is a procedure called Kanaganjali. It is to symbolize that the bride repays her debts to parents by performing kanaganjali. She refused to do so telling everyone that debts to her parents cannot be repaid. How true she is! No one can ever repay the debt to their parents. In Tamil wedding too, there is a similar procedure called Kannigathaanam. In this ritual, the parents of the bride, hold the hands of their daughter and give them in the hands of the bridegroom and his parents and says, "We donate our gi...

Happy Mother Tongue Language Day

It is good to have the spirit and respect on one's mother tongue language. Importance of mother tongue is not just with the communication, they also carry the history of that part of the people. And that is why languages should not be vanished. When we talk about the prides of one's own mother tongue language, they should be very careful in talking pride about them and not degrading others languages. In Tamil Nadu, language plays a vital role in politics. In recent days, they define the eligibility of people to rule by their mother tongue. I don't want to mention their idea behind it, but I'm worried of few people who criticize other languages and people for political benefits. I just wanted to say, "be proud of what you are, be content with the specialties of your language. Don't try to prove others that your language is the best", when you take such comparisons, you are automatically degrading somebody else's language, which is unnecessary and I ...

I din't know that I love you so much, until I miss you

Image
I have read many quotes mentioning, "value everything that you have, because you may not know when you will miss it". I realized it in your absence. I feel guilty for not honoring you, I feel guilty for taking you for granted, I feel guilty for not giving you much priority. How can I do so? How can I be that ungrateful to you, when you always helped me and stood supportive. I did not realize that, you are the reason for my peaceful nights and long sleeping hours. I realized it, when I found it difficult to overcome the nightmare of hustle bustle mornings. I could n't start my day without you, and I can't go to bed without thinking of you. I may not appreciated your presence, but remember, my life is not easy without you. It is a late awakening... I openly confess that I can't live without you.  Idly - My savior, I love you so much. Due to inevitable situation, my household items were delayed to reach us. However I managed my breakfast with variet...

Content writing about schools

Documenting the information you gather is not just useful to you, it turns out to be a database and helps many others too. After my kids started schooling, child education is something that I really concentrate on. The more I read about it, the more I got to exclaim at. There are varieties of educational model and authorized educational systems to nurture students' talents and many tries to introduce global standards in mix of traditional and digital teaching.  OMG how much the education system has changed from the time of my school days! When I discuss it with other mommy friends, I get to know more about their research on schools for their children. Then I decided to document about the schools and their educational model, facilities, admission process etc. I also publish them in Indiastudychannel.com , an educational website, where I get paid for my content. "Getting paid for your hobby is a blessing... When you are paid for something, the responsibility also increases....
