<p dir="ltr">Hello, cool kids! Today we are going to talk about something we all, at some point in time or other, face: tantrums! Do you have a little brother or sister who throws a tantrum? Do you think you might know what it would be like to have those huge emotions? Knowing what a tantrum is might well be useful for controlling it. Let's find out more!</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv9U_VBTWas">Managing Child Meltdowns &amp; Tantrums&nbsp; Tips From A Board Certified Behavior Analyst</a></h2>
<h2 dir="ltr">What Is a<a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/parents-corner/temper-tantrums-of-toddlers"> Tantrum</a>?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">First things first, What in the world is a tantrum? A tantrum is just that exact point in time when the person, typically a child, lets out frustration or another emotion strongly and dramatically. Cry, scream, stamp your feet, and even break things at least from time to time. People get into a tantrum when they become overwhelmed, tired, or simply do not get something they want. It's a huge emotional explosion!</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Tantrums vs. Meltdowns</h2>
<p dir="ltr">But a tantrum and a meltdown often sound like the same thing. But they're a little different. A tantrum is often when a child is mad or upset about something, specifically, it's about a specific toy. A meltdown is when things in general become too overwhelming: too much noise, too much going on altogether, or just too many feelings for a child to cope with. Knowing the difference will help you prepare to respond appropriately!</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why Do Tantrums Happen?</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcYJEM0UA34dFa_xRMaxK8B4-udpKKJuB5Ts1GqKrEkBz5_EBDk-wQcUas2FlsMw1oLa5deFaVyDKfCGRExTl8DJNmzkLzOHx98OUirecByYBffaMF13XpXcWrKvb05t0-uf9HDBw?key=vCfI3eqBP0CulNAjWhlVkQ" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p dir="ltr">Now you know why tantrums occur and that will serve as a better way to understand those tantrums, and you will know how to handle those tantrums easily. As often frequent reasons will be there to cause tantrums;&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Frustration:</strong> Things just do not go the way we want them to sometimes. And all of these feelings can be huge, like if you are trying to build a tower with blocks and then keep falling.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Tiredness:</strong> Emotion takes over when one is too tired. When the school day goes long and you never get a good sleep, it puts you in a mode of going berserk.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Hungry: </strong>Do you know what "hungry" is? It's when hunger causes you to get cranky. The more time you don't eat, the more likely you are to be crazy.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Attentionseeking behavior: </strong>A child throws tantrums as a way to get attention from a person, but mainly a parent or caregiver. The child believes that if they throw tantrums or make a scene, people will pay attention to them.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Too much:</strong> There's too much noise, too many people, too many things and it is overwhelming. Then a child will use a meltdown or tantrum as a means of dealing with the overwhelm</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/sports/help-a-stressed-child">Managing Tantrums</a></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdMNgQC7AKip7hekn_Zm1MHpOUr9UbZocGAUvj8psd3SgQpASYHl1TDCiAi5aWbP5pY2j7mJzVFKwZe2gfK2IZcKmwyvyPsRW7BwyxiNOQZJ06W69t048hCo9gniBK6z-8FSZYOEg?key=vCfI3eqBP0CulNAjWhlVkQ" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p dir="ltr">So how do we learn how to control the offensive tantrum? Follow these strategies that could help you both and other persons around you when your feelings begin to trigger.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Breath Deeply</h3>
<p dir="ltr">If people are giving you the stinkeye, try taking a couple of deep breaths. You take a breath in through your nose and let the air out through your mouth. That can even calm down the body and brain. Count up to three while breathing in and out, kind of like giving your brain a little hug!</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Use Your Words</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Instead of melting down, speak about what is happening to you. For instance, if you want that toy so terribly but cannot get it, you can say, "I am extremely upset because I cannot have that toy." This will allow your grouses to spew out to others and also help in boosting one's mood.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Cooling Down Space</h3>
<p dir="ltr">It would be advisable if you step away for a while and turn off the overwhelming feeling. Sit in some quiet area; calm your mind. You can select a warm corner of your bedroom or even a pleasant place outside. You might even need to take the time to walk away and be ready to face what's frustrating you.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Use a Stress Ball or Fidget Toy</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Sometimes you just have to squish something or play with your hands to let some of that energy out. A stress ball, a fidget spinner, or a soft toy might be just what the doctor prescribed for those big emotions bubbling over.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">5. Talk to Someone</h3>
<p dir="ltr">If you get frustrated and don't know how to act, discuss it with someone you can trust, like an adult or even a friend. They can also be able to help you work it through and understand you. Okay, it's perfectly all right to ask for help!</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">6. Develop a Tantrum Plan</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Then, if you expect a tantrum, prepare a prevention plan. Take down what calms you: music, drawing, walking, or anything else that calms you down. Post this list somewhere conspicuous.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Being Aware of Your Emotions</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcFYczusWlT6dKPGshUS-hrRYfCuNEjzCyu29ty9yRzf1EQscTtEemRXggo4qpfYNWksTICaAJKENdJgyDS4aLy5dyTyC_M4LgT20iITePkjjZhtdoOzMF9pl5sxgq13_3_KKYl?key=vCfI3eqBP0CulNAjWhlVkQ" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p dir="ltr">The best way to respond to tantrums is by learning about your feelings. Here are some methods that will aid you in this regard:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Identify Your Feelings&nbsp;</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Pay attention to how you feel in so many situations. Are you sad, angry, and frustrated? They say the more you identify why you feel a certain way, the better control you are likely to have over it.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Use an Emotion Chart</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Sometimes it is helpful to have a picture. You can make an emotion chart with faces that depict the feelings. Whenever you feel like you are getting to the boiling point, glance at the chart and determine what's spilling out. Sometimes it helps clarify exactly what emotion is spilling out.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Mindfulness Practice</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Mindfulness is the state of awareness of what you are thinking and feeling free from judgment. All you have to do is once your free time is there sit alone for a few minutes and watch your breathing or hear and see the moving things and people around you. This may help you in gaining better control over your emotions.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Control Other <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/days-and-festival/child-behaviour-transformation">People's Tantrums</a></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Assumption: Suppose you realize that a friend or sibling starts having a meltdown. Here are the ways you can intervene.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Calm Down</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Well, it's tempting to get frustrated and irritated when someone throws a tantrum. So try to stay calm and speak softly. This will help them feel comfortable and supported.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Provide a Hug</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Sometimes, a soft embrace becomes comforting. If he or she is okay with it, then hugging makes him or her feel loved and cared for.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Listen</h3>
<p dir="ltr">If he or she is okay talking about it, listen to him or her. And sometimes, to make them somewhat feel better, it takes someone willing to listen to them.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Encourage Breaks</h3>
<p dir="ltr">If they seem overwhelmed, help them go out there for a little walk, or just find a quiet place to calm down.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">5. Brainstorm the Solutions</h3>
<p dir="ltr">You can now start brainstorming together after they have cooled off a little bit. For instance, put them in a state of unrest because they cannot play with something; maybe you can help them offer an alternative activity to do instead.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Importance of <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/parents-corner/empty-promises-and-hollow-threats">Tantrum Management</a></h2>

These two qualities not only make you appreciate what you have but manage to make the world a better place for everyone. Let's see how much importance gratitude has, some fun activities you can do to practice gratitude, and how you can fill the world with kindness every day!</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbuVI9ek2qc">Gratitude is My Superpower &ndash; 🪨 A children&rsquo;s book about giving thanks and practicing positivity</a></h3>
<h2 dir="ltr">What is <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/social-skills/parenting-tips-for-teaching-kids">Gratitude</a>?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Let's start from the basics. What is gratitude? Gratitude is that feeling of being nice and thankful for what things bring good things to your life, small or big. It can have anything, from appreciating a sunny day, thanks to your friend for helping out with something, or to being thankful for the family.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why is Gratitude Important for Students?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Teaching gratitude to children is an important step for their emotional wellbeing. Here are a few reasons why you must teach gratitude to kids:</p>
<p dir="ltr">It makes me happier. Practicing gratitude is focusing on the good things in your life, but would you feel happier if you began focusing on the lack instead of what you have?</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Reduces <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/sports/signs-and-symptoms-of-childhood-stress">Stress</a>: </strong>Gratitude causes a decrease in the stress level. If you feel good about what you have, it would mean that you are less pressured by school and friends about things that will make you feel bad.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Boosts <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/child-learning/10-ways-to-encourage-a-healthy-sibling-relationship">Relationships</a>: </strong>Gratitude towards friends, family, and teachers strengthen relationships. It makes people feel appreciated and like to share that appreciation with other people.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Improves Academic Performance:</strong> According to several research studies, students who practice gratitude tend to achieve better academic performance. You will find it easier to focus and learn when you are happy and less stressed.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Fun Gratitude Activities</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfVqJgVsNa7vWGuK-tnAMXOQ0Bx2i4GDFU2v61zq0BSZYVPJReIi4OHmPF0EvxPpCg7SaMZ5_VCEZnOArrVZF1QnMrenCIwSFRPuA8DDj_aackGWMYTjV50w9jRQjbcRgETHiNm3g?key=vEGOac37Va2iLfxWkmTEFQ" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p dir="ltr">Let's now see some fun gratitude activities that you can try out on your own or with your friends and family to make teaching gratitude fun!</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Gratitude Journal</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Gratitude can be learned best most simply and concretely: the gratitude journal! Write down what you are thankful for today. Three things, if you want, from a nice lunch to a good friend. Soon you will start realizing just how full of goodness your life is!</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Gratitude Jar</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Create a gratitude jar with your family or friends. Draw or paint a picture on a jar and fill it up with the notes of gratitude. At the end of each week, everyone can write something they are grateful for and add it to the jar. Then, at the end of the month, read them all. It's such a beautiful way to celebrate the good things in life and teaches gratitude as a group!</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Thank you cards Making&nbsp;</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you cards and sending them off is a fabulous way to show appreciation for people. Whether the person is a teacher, a friend, or a family member, the time taken to ensure that they receive a heartfelt note makes the brighter side of their day. This activity teaches gratitude and deepens connections.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Gratitude Walk</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Take a gratitude walk around your neighborhood or a park nearby. As you take this walk, reflect on all the things you are thankful for in your life. You may even share some thoughts with a walking partner, perhaps a friend or family member. It is a nice way to learn how to be thankful while also exercising and being mindful.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">5.<a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/parents-corner/parenting-for-kind-kids"> Kindness Bingo</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">For example, you can get a kindness bingo card where you have tasks like 'help a brother with homework,' 'write thank you to a family member,' or 'praise a friend,' and 'pick up some litter in the park.' Let's challenge ourselves and our friends to fill up as many of the tasks as we can. For every completed row, treat yourself to one of your favorite fun indulgences!</p>
<h1 dir="ltr">Teaching on Thankfulness</h1>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfOin5hx0mVkAFqhNo-_CqGfR5KFHvCWfSfoI4db-oEl4Bbou7g0auJ_ExSNfK2lgoMQh7ahjjjOunRGD7zo91uG03n9Ns-sZPFfLymGDnBUoBv_V3sjxqswAPyG3ZNMuB_Wg6fag?key=vEGOac37Va2iLfxWkmTEFQ" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p dir="ltr">Now that we have some ideas of what activities look like, let's get into teaching gratitude: there are several ways you can spread the word about gratitude.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Share Stories</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Stories are a wonderful teaching tool. Share stories of people who have made a difference in your life or someone who has shown gratitude in a meaningful way. This could be personal or even from a book. Share those stories, and talk about how those make you feel and lessons that could be learned to help teach the children gratitude.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Lead by Example</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The best way to teach kids about gratitude is by practicing it yourself. Show appreciation for the people in your life, be it showing gratitude to a teacher for help or thanks to parents for their support. You will create a culture where people emulate you.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Gratitude Circle</h3>
<p dir="ltr">You get your friends or loved ones and put them in a circle and share what you are thankful for. It is an exercise that keeps one full of gratitude and, thus, bonds the members closer together. It has been a great way to know each other and be grateful for diversity of thought, thus a great lesson in gratitude.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Use Visual Reminders</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Hang posters or art pieces around quotes on thanks or generosity. You'll see it often and be reminded of it every day in class or at home. Visual messages can be a good way to remind you and your students how to emphasize gratitude in everyday living as well as be able to coach this daily behavior effectively.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Gratitude Teaching in Class</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd9JkXQ6yRXnzM-mN9WiGL13LTMtsHDt4joPGawBU8B1AY--qG_7rQqg65qq9dYb3SPvkMxZtMRlfIT72lDE1PlLn5GqIQGKsn30gueHrfpj2Mgof7Ly3VSYSQIKM-InrhXe4aIWw?key=vEGOac37Va2iLfxWkmTEFQ" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p dir="ltr">Teachers can be truly very important to the teaching of gratitude. Here are some ideas for ways educators can add gratitude to their classrooms:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Gratitude Wall</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Develop a class gratitude wall where the students may post notes detailing things they appreciate. It can be a longterm project encouraging students to look at their lives and share appreciation with others, reinforcing the lessons of teaching gratitude.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/teachers-corner/the-role-of-classroom-discussions-in-enhancing-critical-thinking-in-india-27">Group Discussions</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The concept of gratitude and the influence it might carry in the class must be discussed. This way, students can discuss how gratitude has affected them, thus bonding together with their classmates and teaching them about gratitude.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Gratitude in the Lesson</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Use the times to incorporate the principle of thanksgiving in a variety of subjects, such as language arts or social studies. For example, a student can compose an essay on someone he or she is thankful for, or one can read and do research on historical figures who were appreciated for their acts of kindness and appreciation. This is just one of the best approaches to teaching gratitude in school subjects.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Kindness Week</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Hold a kindness week where students engage in their daily gratitude activities. The themes can be on different aspects of kindness and gratitude for a day. This will eventually end in a celebration where students present what they learned about gratitude.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Spread Kindness</h2>
<p dir="ltr">While thankfulness is of the fundamentals, it often accompanies kindness. Here are some simple ways that one can spread kindness every day. Take these simple ways to enhance your lessons on how to teach gratitude:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Compliment Others</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Make giving honest compliments to your friends, family, and classmates a habit. A "You did a great job!" or "I appreciate you!" can brighten someone's day and develop the spirit of gratitude.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Help a Muditovan in Need</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Look for ways to give back to others: watch out and assist a classmate with homework or support your parents in keeping a neat house. These small, teeny tiny acts can make a difference and reinforce what you learned when you teach someone about gratitude.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Your Time</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Brightening someone's day through spending time with the lonely, such as an elderly neighbor, or a friend having a bad day, can help someone and just being present is often enough to convey that you care and help people spread gratitude.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Random Acts of Kindness</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Practice random acts of kindness on someone today. It can be as simple as putting a positive note on a friend's desk or sharing your snack with a classmate. Believe it or not, these actions do embody the principles you learn when teaching gratitude.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The Ripple Effect of Gratitude and Kindness</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Doing thankfulness and goodwill creates a snowball of positive effects, creating more significant effects as the days pass by. What inspires the community is that people become thankful and kind towards others. Eventually, people in your community become compassionate and supportive. Imagine a world wherein each one takes the time to have an appreciation of what they have and extends a little bit of kindness towards one another much happier place indeed!</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Teaching children thankfulness and benevolence is the very virtue that has more to do with changing one's attitude in life than with etiquette, besides other people's lives surrounding one. Some interesting activities regarding gratitude and understanding how crucial thankfulness is for students may instill a spirit of appreciation and compassion within them.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Remember, every small act of gratitude and kindness counts. Maybe it's your journal for gratitude, sharing compliments with others, or just thanking that special someone in your life, you're shaping a better world. Let's do that step together, teaching gratitude and kindness and making this world brighter and happier!</p>

Teaching Gratitude and Kindness

<p dir="ltr">Hey young adventurers! Are you ready to immerse yourself in the exciting world of teenage years? This period of life is characterized by significant changes, challenges, and a lot of learning opportunities. Whether just starting this phase of your life or are already deep into it, this blog will be here to guide you through such a journey with loads of confidence. Let's get started!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CONWTRDILN0">Parenting Teens Toward Adulthood (Part 1) - Dr. Ken Wilgus</a></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What is<a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/parents-corner/teen-raising-tips"> teenage</a> age?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">What is teenage age, anyway? The teenage age stage comes between ages 13 to 19 years. It's that stage when you transition from childhood to adulthood. At this age, you have so many bodily, emotional, and social changes in life. Your body grows up, emotions may become more volatile, and your social life is going to flourish because you are going to have new friends and meet them.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Understanding the Teenage Age: The Journey Begins</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The teenage age is an experience in life, quite a unique one. There are several considerations based on this journey:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong><a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/health-and-nutrition/physical-activities-exercises-for-kids">Physical Changes</a>: </strong>Some things you might expect to happen physically as you enter your teenage age years. Your body will go through significant changes; you continue growing and changing in shape and skin, which sometimes brings acne. Just remember, everyone goes through this phase, and it's completely normal!</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Emotional Ride: </strong>You are going to have an emotional roller coaster, and all is well in that department. You're on the rise and down, feeling everything from happiness to sadness within a split second. This kind of intensity in emotion is due to hormonal changes, so it's very important to learn about and express your emotions at this point.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong><a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/social-skills/social-skills-for-children">Social Connections</a>: </strong>Friendships become highly important in your life during your adolescence. You could experience a new social net and peer pressure. Thus learning to express and build healthier relationships matters.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Explorations of Identity:</strong> It is a time of identification. You could start discovering the things you like, believe in, and value. Use the period to get to know who you are and why you are special.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcR-wnrJYdKtakADRwSRx_zNg4mHQ_p8ZSgvtl_Skt-AdAy-rbIdA7W53CwPJFd3CoBNaLoo3NfjV7H6SI_t0IYv1vIWCzd852KmsRh8IdsXH7Hjjdiy-HFq8_Q1mfhGslbyaVdNg?key=UWEmiExZkHs3xUqJIonZLA" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p dir="ltr">So, what is it like to be a teenager? Check out some of these:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">School and Academics</h3>
<p dir="ltr">School becomes harder to manage during the teenage years. You possibly might have more subjects, homework assignments, and probably even extracurricular activities such as sports or clubs. Managing your schedule and keeping track of everything can come down to organization and how you effectively manage your time. And you don't need to be afraid to ask teachers or classmates for help when you need to.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Relationships and Social Interactions</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Friendships are probably one of the most important aspects any teenage ager passes through in life. You would spend more time with your friends than being around home with your family. Strong, reliable friendships play a very important role in your emotional health as well. Group activities or clubs are a good way to establish such relationships.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Hobbies and Interests</h3>
<p dir="ltr">You most probably find hobbies or passions in being a teenager. Be it playing an instrument, painting, coding, or any other form of sports, the more you engage in what you love, the better you can express yourself and relax. Plus, you tend to meet lots of people with like-minded friends with varied interests.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/child-learning/effect-of-social-media-on-teens">Technology and Social Media</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXenZK_O8VVVKd3_z49W2GgmRTKu4wPRx2_eRYylXDt-0SSabybeaA8YLOaAUE3soN5oTsDFwG-YP3Jjyve4HZs8ohbDjzezF81ToMgyVgpbmgeMK-CVCyVEgXTXM85SVnKb9mvzLw?key=UWEmiExZkHs3xUqJIonZLA" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Technology and social media have dominated the teenage-age world these days. If used appropriately, it can be nice for connectivity and creativity boosters, but technology must be channeled mindfully. Therefore, be more wary of the kind of impact your social media may lead to in your self-esteem and mental health. Take a break when necessary.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Common Teenage Age Problems</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc33TY79-JglCeNDkND6v8wGcqA_2e0I0IXt_5FuzJ7nshtrPNejZ2fnwiSwPTk80GJdeWODiDL8z0HGJmByYt7UubXZgvaQ-QUKOVhGPy3kaP99Ipj6xpjBjB9drXTgk3FVUss?key=UWEmiExZkHs3xUqJIonZLA" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Being a teen might be fun and exciting, but brings along its share of problems. Let's see some common problems encountered by teenage agers and ways to deal with them.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Academic Pressure</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Most young students feel the burden of school work and pressure on good grades. Learn the art of remembering that while academics are important, your mental health is equally so. Solutions reside here</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Time Management: </strong>Develop a study timetable, which breaks down your assignments into workable chunks. On calendars or apps, make sure to track deadlines.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Ask for Assistance:</strong> If you find that a subject is difficult, never be afraid to ask your teachers or friends for help. Always get into study groups for more effective support.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Peer Influence</h3>
<p dir="ltr">As you grow up, you often feel compelled to do something that doesn't feel right or forced to fit in. Here are a few tips on how to handle peer pressure:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Be Yourself: </strong>Reflect on what makes you special and your values. Anything unnatural is okay to say no to.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Friend Selection: </strong>Be sure that those around you respect your choices and care for you. Having good friends means everything in this world.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Body Image Issues</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Most teenage agers suffer from negative self-body images. Social media sometimes makes it worse. Here's how to deal with those feelings:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Limit social media:</strong> Give up social media if it gets worse. Unfollow people who post unrealistic body images.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Good Surrounds: </strong>Surround yourself with good people. Take care of yourself. Exercise, or make time for creative pursuits.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Conflicts Relating</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Friendships and love can be quite challenging sometimes. Some conflicts are as follows:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Communicate:</strong> When in disagreement with a friend, talk your way out. Clearing any misunderstanding usually results from open communication.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Step Back:</strong> If it is toxic, just take some distance back for your own good. Do not compromise your mental well-being.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">5. Problems of Time Management</h3>
<p dir="ltr">There is so much to take care of all at once-be it is household chores, work, or schoolwork. It gets pretty daunting managing time accordingly. Here are a few strategies:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Create a Daily Schedule: </strong>Now create a routine starting with time slots for schoolwork, hobbies, and sleep. Such a system would control your life and make you feel a little bit more in control.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Plan Your Tasks: </strong>Setup what you want to do today at top priority so that you can make your schedule fit you. This will save you from as much stress as possible while keeping extra time for yourself.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Teen Issues and Their Alternatives</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Let's list some of the major teenage age issues along with their probable alternatives:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Too Much Homework</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Solution:</strong> Create a study plan and seek help if needed.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Peer Pressure</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Solution: </strong>Be yourself and surround yourself with friends who share the same views of yours.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Body Image</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Solution: </strong>Reduce overuse of social media and practice positive affirmations about yourself.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Problems in Relationships</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Solution: </strong>Be an open book and take space from those poisonous relationships.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Bad Time Management</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Solution: </strong>Plan your daily routine and know what to do first.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Learn Resilience As a Teen</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Resilience would mean bouncing back after many struggles. It is essential to prepare for this during your teenage years. Here are some ways you can work on building your resilience:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Learn to Celebrate Failure</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Everyone makes mistakes, and that is perfectly fine! Change the perception of failures as learning experiences, but instead, see the chances that every setback brings to make you stronger and wiser.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. SelfCare</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Go into healthy living habits. Don't forget to tackle good sleep, diet, and physical activities. You can start finding a better mood with self-care and increase energy levels.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Seek Help</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Don't be afraid to talk things over with trusted adults if things get overwhelming enough: parents, teachers, or counselors. These are excellent resources for guidance and support. Sometimes just talking over your feelings will ease the burden.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Be Curious</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Be curious about things you want to learn. Try new things, read some books, or research on topics that interest you. Curiosity keeps your mind active and open to the possibilities of new experiences.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Creating a Positive Environment</h2>
<p dir="ltr">You would indeed experience a difference if you tried to be surrounded by a positive environment during your teenage years. Here is how you could create one:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Positive Influences</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Hang out with inspiring people who make you feel wonderful. Their energy is always infectious! Find friends that celebrate your success and are there for you in times of need.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Practices of Gratitude</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Spend some day devoting yourself to a reflection on those things you are grateful for. As you approach the positive side of the things taking place in your life, maintaining a gratitude journal will help you. This, in turn, enhances your outlook on things and relieves stress.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Set Goals</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Setting goals for yourself gives you something to work for. Whether they are academic, social, or personal goals, something to work towards keeps you motivated. Celebrate your successes-no matter how small!</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Create a Welcoming Atmosphere</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Create a space in your house or at school where you can relax or focus on your hobbies. An amiable environment may lighten up your mood and productivity so it would be easier to engage in hobbies or studies.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">teenage life is a roller coaster of hills and valleys. Knowing what a teenager is, what you will face, and how to approach them can make all the difference in your thriving years. Don't worry; you're going to have some teenage anger problems. All it takes is the right attitude and tools to overcome those problems and be the great adult you are meant to be.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Enjoy all this excitement, learn from your experiences in life, and enjoy the ride. Remember, you are alright; with resilience, self-care, and supportive relationships, the best is yet to come!</p>

Navigating the Teenage Years

<p dir="ltr">Hello kids! Now, we are going to talk about something really important: how to balance work and family life. You must be wondering what that is all about. So basically, it means ensuring we have time for our school or chores and our fun things to do playing with friends or family! Let's get started in exploring the world of worklife balance!</p>
<h2><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0yxJH2i0DE">The RIGHT Way to Do WorkLife Balance | Simon Sinek</a></h2>
<h2 dir="ltr">What is <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/child-learning/seventips-to-be-more-productive-at-school">worklife</a> balance?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Now let's understand what the term worklife balance means. Suppose you have two big jars. One may be compared with work your school, homework, etc. The other jar maybe with your family and fun playing games, going on a trip, etc. Now, worklife balance is simply ensuring that both jars are filled so that you do not use all your time on just one.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Living is relevant to all and everyone acts in different capacities. You might be a student, a friend, a family member, or a team player. All such capacities are equal and all of them are entitled to the same time and attention. So, what is worklife balance, anyway? It's achieving the right mix of responsibilities and fun things.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why Is WorkLife Balance Important?</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfpe9bCz542lu6HvWc4zu9sOmbl_zzac5POkcrbYcENMwXhGF5jvPxnKfnIfYbLB18Bv4Bk_rv2v4Bfsca_1L82nTlOxGzmqFnIjCqh_hf0IEfcFJvolWfGMgUWIsaYyb-WT79-?key=2nhI2iNGQAXe6RtbhG6xVQ" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p dir="ltr">Then you would ask, why should we care? So here are a couple of reasons:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Happy Families: </strong>The more time you have balanced between work and playtime, the more you can be with your family. This allows for creating memories, like "family movie night" or "family game day.".</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Less Stress: </strong>If we only work (like homework), we are going to be stressed. Free time can reduce the amount of stress that we have and make us more joyful!</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Better Grades: </strong>If we balance our time, we allow our brains the break to recover. This means that when we sit down to do our homework, we can focus better and learn more.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Healthy Relationships: </strong>Time spent with friends and family builds healthy relationships. These relationships, indeed, make up the roots of our happiness.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What is worklife balance?</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeNV_dxwUWN8GkJ8U__5TBBsIgNnijuMZz7RpAZGiuLN6RaqDBaq6Jwd1bTXloDsgvUplzbLrdCM80HwKfNg-x5vBUdr3dTFyhsi3Coibf0XW5-a6KyOPrWiLDg2_FY0J8AdOZs?key=2nhI2iNGQAXe6RtbhG6xVQ" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p dir="ltr">Now that we know what worklife balance means, let's discuss it a bit further.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Setting Priorities</h3>
<p dir="ltr">One of the ways of achieving worklife balance is prioritizing, and thinking about what's important for you. Do you value good grades, time with family, or hanging out with friends? Once you understand your priorities, you can well manage to plan your days.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/social-skills/tricks-to-teach-time-management">Time Management</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">This is yet another key to worklife balance about the responsible use of time. You need to have a calendar or planner with details of your tasks and activities. For instance, if you have a school assignment due next week, you schedule a part of your time for it.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Saying No</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Sometimes we get overwhelmed because we try to do too much. Okay, feel free to say no to some of the activities or commitments if they begin to start pulling time away from your family or personal fun. Remember, it's about balance!</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Breaks</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Just like superheroes need time to recharge, you do too! Be it a quick walk outside or minutes spent drawing, breaks freshen up your mind. That way, returning to work would be a lot easier and you're ready for anything!</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Worklife balance Examples</h2>
<p dir="ltr">For a better understanding, let's take some examples of worklife balance.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Example 1: <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/child-learning/role-of-school">School and Family</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">Suppose you have a busy week of tests and projects at school. Instead of cramming all your studying for the week into one night, you could break it up over a week. After getting all your homework done over the weekend, you could then go on a family picnic. That way, you're managing your schoolwork, but still finding time for family!</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Example 2: Hobbies and Chores</h3>
<p dir="ltr">For instance, you can have a painting time of your own since you always have work to do. You can set a merry Saturday afternoon for painting, having attended to your chores in the morning. Here again, you do what you like and, at the same time, act responsibly!</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Example 3: Friend Time and Study Time</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Finish a huge science project, but still, you want to spend time with friends? Well, invite your friends over and get the job done together! That way you are not only productive but also having a blast.</p>

Balancing Work and Family Life

<p dir="ltr">To make a long story short, having siblings is one of the most rewarding aspects of life but also the cause of many other challenges. Sibling rivalry, perhaps, is one of the most common problems families have to face. Knowing what sibling rivalry is, why it takes place, and how to manage it can make life at home very easy for everybody. Let's look at what this blog does by defining what sibling rivalry is, what causes it, and effective management strategies.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAOz1_pD-T8">Three rules for handling sibling rivalry</a></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/parents-corner/handling-sibling-rivalry-the-mature-way">Sibling Rivalry</a></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Sibling rivalry is often characterized as a competitive and at times antagonistic relationship between siblings. It can take many forms, among others, arguments, fights, and jealousy over attention or resources.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Meaning of Sibling Rivalry</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The term sibling rivalry can be viewed as the battle of emotion and competition experienced by siblings when growing up. This rivalry can be brought about by age gap differences, personality issues, and other family problems.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why Does Sibling Rivalry Occur?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Before trying to understand what sibling rivalry is it would be on the other hand necessary to look at the reasons behind them. Here are some common causes:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Competition for attention:</strong> More often, children compete with each other to get attention and appreciation from their parents. When one feels neglected, there is jealousy and rivalry among children.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong><a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/child-learning/10-ways-to-encourage-a-healthy-sibling-relationship">Personality differences</a>:</strong> The brother and sister may have different interests, temperaments or communication patterns. These differences sometimes give rise to misunderstandings and conflicts.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Age gaps:</strong> Large gaps in the ages sometimes accompany differences in maturity as well as interests. This can be frustrating and is likely to create rivalry between siblings.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Resources: </strong>Siblings fight for toys, games, or even time spent with parents. Tension builds.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Identity Formation:</strong> Children also develop competition as they assert their identity from one another when they become older.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Identifying Sibling Rivalry Disorder</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfpmPb7QdwKdrhenHS7kPQIvMosH5fGSZA4KOz5XtAS9lgSndTP2ZG59ga7QNSkVTkfMcXOPbogUUUVwLz5xfwa4fjCsjE7ieD4F-q9-JFERQdXddKHFKUEvvjyaPLNtHfZ_oaKBg?key=TY41iZYbVcJ9xsQfStMvlA" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p dir="ltr">In some cases, sibling rivalry turns into what is now called sibling rivalry disorder. It is diagnosed by constant fighting and aggression or competitive behavior that borders on unhealthy levels of competition and can disrupt family life. If the siblings cannot find a way to end their fighting and their communication seems to be generally composed of anger or hostility, then it is probably time to get some help from a parent or counselor.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Sibling Fighting: When Does It Cross the Line?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">While a certain amount of fighting is always expected to take place between siblings, it is important to determine how much is too much. Excessive sibling fighting is very destructive if:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">It becomes physical. One of the siblings is subjected to repeated bullying or intimidation.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The battle interrupts other members of the family and disrupts a typical day in life.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">If the sibling fights are getting worse or more frequent then you should talk about it.&nbsp;</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Open communication is one of the best ways so that people can understand what's happening and address those problems.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/cbse-board/parenting-tips-2">Strategies</a> for Managing Sibling Rivalry</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXclei7lgCLCKzD1Ks3wxNiC8rq2Z2G1IeEcXxXd63O0iQIRegQAz1JJPtR4xeHYMsvJu8_H9OpkCMPcA9CyjxN9L4-wZus25O5llY7ervIRVEfhSF0qfHaMTu0WaCyBW01wb42-?key=TY41iZYbVcJ9xsQfStMvlA" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p dir="ltr">Now that we have discussed what causes sibling rivalry, let's talk about how we can manage it without them getting on each other's nerves.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/social-skills/develop-communication-skills">1. Open Communication</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">It can reduce misunderstandings if sibling rivalry can encourage open and honest communication between siblings.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Listen Actively: </strong>Have each sibling listen to the other without interrupting. Their listening can make them feel heard and understood.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Use "I" Statements:</strong> Teach siblings to say how they feel using an "I" statement (e.g., "I feel left out when you play without me.") rather than blaming each other.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Establish Clear Rules</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Household rules about behavior can minimize conflicts. Some examples of household rules that you might impose include:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>No Physical Fighting: </strong>Tell them that there is no place for physical fighting.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Share and Take Turns:</strong> Teach them to share toys and take turns for games.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Sibling to be Team player</h3>
<p dir="ltr">If one of your kids can be a team player, then the other cannot do without it. Activities can be provided that make both siblings depend on each other. Here are a few examples</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Family Games: </strong>There are family games in which both of them will have to team up to emerge a winner.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Cooking or Building a Fort:</strong> Engage them in such activities wherein they need to cook food or build a fort together&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/parents-corner/navigating-parent-teacher-relationships">4. Respect Individuality</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">Reconciling and appreciating the strengths of each sibling may help minimize rivalry. Here is how to do it:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Reward each Sibling:</strong> Reward each sibling for his or her efforts and capabilities, no matter how small.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Spent OneonOne Time:</strong> Oneonone time with every child can strengthen the bond between you and your child, and then they feel special.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">5. Teach Conflict Resolution Skills</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Teaching siblings how to resolve conflicts peacefully helps reduce fighting eventually. Here is how to approach this</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Identify the Problem: </strong>Have them state exactly what the conflict is over</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Brainstorm Solutions: </strong>Have them come up with solutions together, and then decide which one they will use.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Practice Apologizing: </strong>Teach them how to forgive each other and apologize, making clear the importance of moving on</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">6. Make Safe Space</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Sometimes, a special room can prove to be a great place where the brother or sister can step back when things are getting too hot. For example, it may be an appropriately quietened corner with some calming elementsblinking objects, to refuge themselves in and clear up minds.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The Sibling War: When Rivalry Turns to Conflict</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXevPhIcq9PgV-CVFLNRCIkm3UMgKM5eDBTbBVgXBTqxW_y3RdGRkoHRPFDbqcUW5xQLLkztyW-U-28gou-3ImfUrY2z9GDyHCtHj8Ne0YUx8Gi5AGa1v-cBwnil_LAx3uGpH8JhgA?key=TY41iZYbVcJ9xsQfStMvlA" width="624" height="416"></p>
<p dir="ltr">For some, sibling rivalry turns into a sibling war. There comes a time when sibling rivalry builds up as a result of unaddressed disputes that have appeared for quite some time. If you think you are in a sibling war, here are some tips for a parent or the elder sibling.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Maintain Neutrality: </strong>Try to maintain a neutral position in conflicts. Avoid taking sides and encourage both siblings to speak out their viewpoints.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Intervene Wisely: </strong>As the scuffles continue, diplomatically intervene with a composed voice to calm down the situation and get the children to talk it over. Gradually remind them about the rules of communication and advocate respect in the expression of feelings.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Be a Model Behavior:</strong> The children learn their conflicts from you. Practice handling them by being cool and respectful on your part.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">When to Get Assistance</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Sometimes it is helpful to consult with one of your parents, teachers, or even counselors if the sibling rivalry is too much for you or otherwise disrupts your family. They can also design strategies adapted to your problem and help you at such a time when sibling relationships become problematic for you.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Another essential lesson that a child learns growing up with brothers and sisters is the management of sibling rivalry. Though sibling fighting and competition can be frustrating, it's important to recognize that this is something that happens to a lot of children as part of family life. Understanding why siblings fight being able to recognize the signs of unhealthy conflict and taking the proper measures in response will help siblings learn better how to manage their relationships in more peaceful ways.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Understanding Internet Safety</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Let's start with defining what internet safety is. <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/child-learning/internet-safety-tips-2">Internet safety</a>, if one puts it into simple words, means how to know not to compromise yourself while online, especially on social media. It simply means that you must be informed of the possibilities of dangers that may arise, and how ways might be found of eliminating all risk factors that jeopardize your secrecy and security while finding ways in these online spaces.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why is Internet Safety Important?</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Respect Private Information.&nbsp;</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Whenever one posts information online, he or she has to think about who will eventually receive that information. Keeping private information confidential helps you protect yourself against some unknown people who may want to cause harm to you.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/media/Respect-Private-Information.jpg" alt="Respect Private Information" width="708" height="472"></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Avoiding Cyberbullying</h3>
<p dir="ltr">This includes surfing the net just to make someone feel bad or to harass them. Understand how not to get bullied and how to handle bullying safely on the internet.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Safe Use of Social Media</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Know with whom you are talking on the internet and be cautious of having too many people contact you so they can talk to each other with or without you. In this way, you will still have fun but this time have positive enriching experiences.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Social Media Safety Tips</h2>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>Having in mind why internet safety is important, here are some practical social media safety tips on how to <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/child-learning/unleashing-potential-leveraging-online-techniques-to-enhance-motor-skill-development">enjoy the online world</a> without worry.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Use strong passwords</h3>
<p><img src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/media/Strong-password.jpg" alt="Strong Password" width="708" height="472"></p>
<p dir="ltr">This is one of the first steps for how to use social media safely, as creating strong passwords secures your social media networks. Here are some tips for password safety:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>a) Mix It Up:</strong> Mix and match letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not use "password123" Instead, use "P@ssW0rd!2024"</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>b) Unique Passwords:&nbsp;</strong>Do not use the same password for multiple accounts. That way, in the event of one getting hacked, the rest are safe.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>c) Change Your Password Frequently:</strong> Change your password every few months so that it is a habit to change often.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h3>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Do Not Share Personal Information</h3>
<p>Remember: Before posting anything on social media, think before posting. Here are some tips on how to protect private information:</p>
<p>Do not share your location at all and take care not to tag yourself when you are in a place, especially in real-time, as this may give some strangers an idea of where you are.</p>
<p><strong>a) Share Personal Info Only with Yourselves:</strong> Do not share your mobile numbers or the address of your house, even the name of your school as it may contain some personal information. Share them with only trustworthy friends.</p>
<p><strong>b) Privacy Settings Check:</strong> Check your social media accounts for privacy settings so you can restrict the people who can see your posts and other information. Make sure that only friends can view your profile!</p>
<p><strong><img src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/media/Privacy-settings.jpg" alt="Social Media Safety Tips" width="708" height="472"><br></strong></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Think Before You Post</h3>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>Every time you type something out online, try to consider these questions:</p>
<p><strong>a) Are you Nice?</strong> Before hitting that post button ask yourself if your message is respectful and kind. If not it's probably best left unsaid.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>b) How might they hear it?&nbsp;</strong>Think how someone else might hear your post. What sounds funny to you could cut another person into ribbons.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>c) Once It's Out, It's Out:</strong> Think about it this way: in most cases, you cannot delete items you post online from the internet indefinitely. Be prepared for whatever you post here to always be here.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Think Twice About Your Friend's Requests</h3>
<p dir="ltr">What else you should be cautious of is when you receive friend requests or messages from individuals whom you do not know.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>a) Never accept unknown requests:</strong>&nbsp;Be very careful with accepting friend requests. You can only accept if you know the person personally. If they cannot introduce themselves, do not waste your time on them; you should ignore or block them instead.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>b) Verify first before chatting:</strong>&nbsp;When they say that they know you but you're not so sure, never hesitate to ask mutual friends for information about that person or even ask him or her directly.</p>
<p><strong><img src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/media/verify-before-chatting.jpg" alt="Verify Before Chatting" width="708" height="472"><br></strong></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">5. Report and Block</h3>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">There may be times when you feel uncomfortable or worse still, something inappropriate comes up; do not hesitate to do so:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>a) Use the Report Feature: </strong>Most social media applications have a report feature for any inappropriate content or behavior. If someone is being mean or if you feel it's not right, report it.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>b) Block Users Who Annoy You:</strong> If a user is harassing you or making you feel uncomfortable, block them to get them off your list.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">6. Talk to Trusted Adults</h3>
<p>You are never wrong for seeking help:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>a) Share Your Concerns:</strong> If you see something on the internet that you are worried about, talk to a trusted adult&mdash;parent, teacher, or counselor, for example.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>b) Ask questions:&nbsp;</strong>If you are unsure of what you are seeing about something on social media, do not be afraid to ask an adult for his or her take on the subject.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">7. Keep Some Distance from Social Media</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The most important lesson that you learn is that there needs to be a limit to the time spent on the screens.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>a) Limit Screen Time:&nbsp;</strong>Set specific times to check your social media accounts and avoid deliberately spending too much time online. This reduces your chances of <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/parents-corner/help-a-stressed-child">getting stressed</a> and keeps you focused on other activities.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>b) Free Time:</strong> Do the things you love: play sports, read, and hang out with friends. This will keep a healthy and jovial mind.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">8. What is Cyberbullying?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">To be safe online, of course, you must understand cyberbullying:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>a) Know the Look:&nbsp;</strong>Cyberbullying, for example, means mean messages, spreading untrue rumors, or excluding people from online groups. It means making the look.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>b) Know How to Respond:</strong> Know What to Do If you, or somebody you know, is being bullied online, document what's going on-record those exchanges, and report it. Support each other by being nice and helpful.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>c) Spread Kindness:&nbsp;</strong>Get your friends to be kind on social media. A positive online environment makes social media a better place for everyone!</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/media/Spread-kindness.jpg" alt="Spread Kindness" width="708" height="472"></p>

Social Media Safety Tips

<p dir="ltr">Children develop and, by doing so, attain major phases of development that have been termed <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/health-and-nutrition/developmental-milestones-for-children">milestones</a>. These milestones depict the acquisition steps of key skills or abilities helpful to parents, guardians, and teachers to understand the development of the child. This blog digs deeper into what developmental milestones are, why they are important, and how to support children in achieving such milestones.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What Are Developmental Milestones?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Developmental milestones refer to those specific skills or behaviors that the majority of children need to achieve by a given age. It can be broadly classified under the following broadheads:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Physical Development</strong>: Gross motor skills, such as crawling, walking, and jumping, and fine motor skills, like grasping objects, holding utensils, or writing.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Cognitive Development</strong>: It is how children think, learn, and solve their issues. These include aspects such as memory, attention, and understanding of cause and effect.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Social and Emotional Development</strong>: This is the way through which children communicate with others and regulate their feelings. This includes managing relationships, how to express their feelings, and read social cues.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Language Development</strong>: This is the way through which children communicate, either in verbal and listening or language understanding.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Importance of Developmental Milestones</h2>
<p dir="ltr">There are many reasons why developmental milestones are important.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Tracking Growth</strong>: Through milestones, parents and caregivers can track the growth of their children, hence ensuring that they are meeting milestones in the right order.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Identification of Delays</strong>: When a child fails to attain some milestone set, then this may be an indication of developmental delay and interventions can then occur early in life.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Setting of Goals</strong>: The knowledge of milestones helps a parent set achievable milestones for the growth and learning of a child.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Confidence Building</strong>: The achievement of milestones gives a child self-esteem and confidence when undertaking new feats.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Milestone Development Stages</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Age is also another classification milestone based on. Here is a very brief description of what should happen at each stage:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Infants (0-12 Months)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">At this stage, infants would be starting to develop some very basic physical skills. These are those things that they would develop include the following :</p>
<p dir="ltr">Lift head when placed on the stomach</p>
<p dir="ltr">Roll and be able to sit</p>
<p dir="ltr">Reach out and grab things.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Language development begins with cooing and babbling, while social development is smiling and responding to familiar faces.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Toddler years: 1-3 Years</h3>
<p dir="ltr">In the toddler years, children become more independent and begin to explore the world. They will;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Walk, run, climb</p>
<p dir="ltr">In using simple sentences</p>
<p dir="ltr">Play side by side in parallel play with other children</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is an essential stage because it lays fundamental physical as well as language capabilities.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Preschooler years: 3-5 Years</h3>
<p dir="ltr">By this preschool age, children would also hone their physical skills and then be able to develop their cognitive skills. They will:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hop, run, and pedal a tricycle.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Count, identify colors, and grasp simple concepts.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Share, play with others, and let playmates take turns with them.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That's when pretend play comes in as well, where children can pretend and even practice different roles and scenarios.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">School Age Children (6-12 years)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">As children enter the school environment, they become even more skilled both academically and in social skills. They will:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Play formal games and group games</p>
<p dir="ltr">Execute basic arithmetic operations</p>
<p dir="ltr">Form closer friendships and consciousness of social relations</p>
<p dir="ltr">At this stage, children acquire responsibility for more activities and decisions they make. They build their critical thinking and start to realize more things.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">If Your Child Falls Behind</h2>
<p dir="ltr">For example, when a child fails to achieve a given milestone, it doesn't necessarily mean that something fundamentally wrong has happened. Indeed, every child develops at his own pace. However, if you are one of those people with the nagging in you, then you can always follow these tips for action:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Observe</strong>: Note down the milestones that your child has succeeded at and also those where your child seems to be falling behind.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Talking to Professionals</strong>: If you are worried about the development of your child, you should sit and discuss it with a pediatrician or a child development specialist; they will be able to understand it better and guide you.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Encourage Development</strong>: Engage them in developing the lacking skills. For instance, when the lag is seen in the language field, try reading to each other or playing games that encourage verbal communication.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Stay Positive</strong>: Focus on the strengths of your child. It is good to celebrate no matter how small the successes are. A positive attitude can foster a love of learning and growth.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Supporting Developmental Milestones</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Some of the fun and practical ways to support children to reach their developmental milestones include the following:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">For Infants</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Tummy Time</strong>: Get the child to lie on his or her stomach so that he or she can strengthen his or her neck and shoulder muscles. Very importantly, encourage tummy time to enhance physical development. This simple activity enables babies to build muscles for rolling over and eventually crawling. Singing Songs: This can be an implementation of using nursery rhymes and songs as tools to maximize the development of early language skills of a child through rhymes and repetition. Babbling might precede singing as it will also playfully develop phonetic awareness and new words in babies.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Visual Stimulation</strong>: A light toy or picture may engage an infant's eye by following the scanning movement of a visual. This will improve eye-hand coordination and concentration.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">For Toddlers</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Obstacle Courses</strong>: Kids can safely create obstacle courses throughout the house on which they can play and exercise their gross motor muscles. Climbing, crawling, and balancing are all developed this way.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Art Projects</strong>: Creative play in the form of simple crafts or projects will develop fine motor dexterity and encourage creativity. Preschoolers will always love coloring with crayons and paints and handling sharp objects for safe cutting.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Pretend Play</strong>: This activity sets up the pretense and uses action figures and dolls in such a way that children can tell stories. The child will learn to exercise the imagination, share with others, and work cooperatively together in such a way.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">For Kindergarten</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Imaginative play</strong>: Providing children with props may encourage imaginative play. This enhances creativity and fosters their social competencies. Playing house or pretending to be some characters may enforce language and aid in socialization.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Number Games</strong>: Toys and objects found at home might be utilized in number games designed for training children on how to count. Counting snacks or toys can be included in everyday events.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Storytime</strong>: This is a time to encourage a preschooler to question the story. In the end, all these moves will add up to improve their listening, vocabulary, and comprehension.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">For School-Aged Children</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Board Games</strong>: Board games should challenge their mental abilities as well as social manners. A game of Monopoly or Scrabble will hone a child's cognitive ability along with his cooperative and sporting heart.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Reading Together</strong>: Engage them to read books at their level, this increases vocabulary and will help them understand later in life. Read, and discuss with open-ended questions that encourage the child to question and think critically.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Explore Interests</strong>: Encourage their interests through hobbies and activities they enjoy, particularly in sports, music, or art. This builds confidence and an identity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As a parent or carer, you play a vital role in the development of your child. In the following areas, you can be supportive and contribute positively to the growth of this milestone in your child:</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Building a Nurturing Environment</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Safe Spaces</strong>: Ensure that your house is safe to explore. Avoid hazards that make children fearful of moving because of the possibility of falling, thus gaining freedom of movement with confidence.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Explore and Discover</strong>: Offer a wide variety of toys and activities that target different planes of development, from physical to cognitive.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Spending Quality Time</strong>: Engage in interactive time with your child. Interactive time with your child can strengthen your attachment relationship while also enhancing their sense of security.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Encourage Independence</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Give Choices</strong>: Increasing the children's involvement in discussions about which activity or play would be best helps them feel more in charge and have a sense of choice.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Teach Problem-solving:</strong>&nbsp;When problems come, teach them to think your way to a solution rather than merely to an answer. It develops cognitive skills and strengthens the child's self-confidence</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Open Communication</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Talk Often</strong>: Keep your lines of communication open always. Be sensitive to what is going around in your child's mind and heart. Ask them to share their feelings and thoughts; this is the best way of developing emotional IQ.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Listen Actively</strong>: When a child speaks, listen actively. That's like validating all their feelings. It breeds trust within your relationship.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">It is equally important to track the child&rsquo;s development with the developmental milestone chart or the pediatric milestones chart. It helps the parents Understanding how the development of milestones takes place can benefit any adult interacting with a child. Any parent or carer who understands what happens at which age is much more of a support system for the child's growth and learning.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The problem with children is that each child grows and matures at his own pace, which is perfectly okay. So, giving your child a love-filled, encouraging environment and letting them have room for growth allows you to support your child as they mark each milestone on their way ahead. Be it to walk, to talk, or to solve a problem, each little step they take has its significance as part of their journey, an opportunity for growth. Enjoy this marvelous journey watching your child grow!</p>
