We have tried everything !!!!

WE HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING !!!!!

When parents say that they have tried everything , it really amazes me !!!! 
Seriously parents !!!! Is it absolutely true ???
Or is it that you have tried everything from your perception and expected results without looking beyond your perspective or options of a problem:) 

Let's say Parents feel that their kids are nor reading at all and they want to turn it around ?
So what all steps are taken generally :)

It's generally nagging,praise or threat or incentive or punishment in any form .
When a child is watching tv , we tell them to go and read and if they don't then we say if you don't read then you are not going to friends house.
But Hey , wait a minute .
Let's do a better diagnosis and see the situation from different perspective :))

Who do these children see reading ?
Do they see elder reading at home?
What about the environment ?Look around and see closely if we have created environment, given importance ,designed around the house to support reading or is it couches ,sofas& chairs aimed directly to a big screen tv taking central space in our houses.

What if we create a quiet corner with good light,nice book shelf and nice books.books. What if we structured the environment not only to motivate but to enable as well.

Change works best when we bring all the influential sources to bear on the problem.
We often just are not aware or don't see or use all the possible options and perspectives to explore 

And we just give  up saying  that we have tried everything :))))

THINKING HIVE

Explore fresh perspective for empowering oneself.

We invite parents to explore and experience fresh perspectives for empowering themselves and children.

While what you know is correct, there are few more perspectives of the same thing and we are in business of giving perspectives.When we open our minds and question our preconditioned thoughts ,we get to see new vistas.

We share perspectives to different ways of learning and insights into childern behavior. These new perceptions lead us to respond and connect with our child in different , perhaps more effective way. 

Our highly experiential sessions are meant to stretch,surprise,shock and CHURN your thoughts .In fun and informal way, you will be invited to play around with the ways you have thought of your child and done things.

We explore Beliefs, Feelings,Self-esteem,Understanding Intentions,Success Skills,Multiple Intelligence frame work,Effective Communication,cooperation,confidence and discipline.

Bring along AN OPEN MIND AND WILLINGNESS TO QUESTION ONESELF

If you are game , we have a new world of learning waiting up ahead.

We meet, share, explore, experience and celebrate.

Do mail us with your interest in being part of exploration and we will be forwarding you details, time, venue etc.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ?

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ?

Dear Parents,

We have been surrounded by so many options of summer camps , extra circular activities , sports, drawing, music classes  and on and on and on............ and what are we left with -- a real tough task to figure out
1- how good classes are
2- will my kids like it
3- what will they gain from it in long term or is it just experimenting
4-how about time and cost of it plus what about missed sessions
5- will these classes benefit him, in school or further studies
on and on and on......
 And to top that are our friends recommendations , their kids doing well in those classes , results we see of those kids and advertisements....

Well, with so much to take , we kind of miss out on basic simple rule- WHAT MY CHILD WANTS AND WHAT I WANT WITH MY CHILD ?

Majority of parents we meet want to enhance their child's academic skills or points,grades which is definitely a great option from parents point of view  but how about working on the same enhancement using multiple intelligence and letting child explore his intelligence quotient.

How about enriching child with growth mindset rather then fixed mindset and allowing him  exploring and giving child freedom to enhance rather then judging all his process on his results only .

How about giving child opportunity to develop success skills which he uses in his day to day life and grows with it.

What is more important to you and your child -public speaking or self-confidence,communication skills and people's intelligence explored.
What would you choose - finished paintings or skills to draw any painting at his wish with creative thinking skills and spatial intelligence.
What is preferred - skills fro faster calculations or enhancing one's logical intelligence with perseverance and self -esteem.

What do you think about exploring different options which are child focused rather then result focused to please parents, which touches child basic core values rather then competitive results.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR CHILD ?
