Money Management to Children

For a number of parents, talking about money and finance itself is a big anathema! Most parents never talk to their children about the money and its management. Children ask for money and parents just oblige with them! As per recent surveys, many children who are growing into adults get themselves into a situation of debt by the time they reach the age of 20! Apart from parents educating their children about food, school and hygiene, it is critically important that they also teach their children about the importance of money and financial literacy. Understanding and learning about cash and credit is very important for all children so that they can learn to be responsible with their finance.

Is it possible to teach financial literacy to our children? Can we teach our children how they can conserve and save the money? When we educate our children about the importance of money, we will be empowering them to keep more of the money they get and do a lot more with the money they spend for things. Parents need not be financial experts to teach about money and its management. However, parents must understand the fundamental goals and lessons that they are trying to teach. Caring about the money and understanding its amazing characters are two of the most critical things that children should remember.

A child armed with the basic knowledge of money management will succeed in his or her future life when compared to those children who spend money in a reckless manner. Educating and empowering our children in their young age will help them grow as responsible and financially secure adults.

"Rich Dad Poor Dad" is one book that I found amazing. It brings out some fundamental ways to teach about money to our children. Parents must read this book to teach their children.

ISP: The Art of Parenting

Children are God-given gifts and we are sure that they are spreading joy and cheer all around. It is towards this end that we have developed a systematic approach called the " Infant SSY Program" (ISP). It is now acknowledged that the true potential of child can be fully realized if the child develops Physically, Mentally, Socially, Emotionally and Spiritually.

Do you know?

Your 3-4 years child can ...
- Read like yourself
- Understand 10 or more languages.
- Do binary functions in Maths.
- Operate computers
- Play the piano, violin, harmonium or any other instrument.

The ISP guides parents on how to bring up children right from the stage of conception to 8 years. It specially deals with improving all the 8 types of intelligence of children. It also deals with the overall development of the child covering the Physical, Mental, Social, Emotional and Spiritual areas.

ISP uses various brain stimulant methods like Flash Cards, Dot Cards, Encyclopedia Cards, stimulation of five senses etc. We have practically implemented that the aforesaid techniques on the children in the age of 6 months (with Mothers) to 6 Years at our School MET's Rishikul Vidyalaya - at Bandra(West) Mumbai.

Just give a thought how many times we say "NO or Don't do" to our child, which can affect right brain development. This program guides parents on creating a positive environment for the child, and making parenting a joyful journey.

The Infant SSY Program (ISP) is a byproduct of the Siddha Samadhi Yoga (SSY) Program. Guru Rishi Prabhakar is the founder of the SSY and the Infant SSY Program. The Program has been developed & enhanced by Shri Raviji and Manoj Lekhiji.

Learning Styles

Learning styles form an excellent method to assist upgrade our children's quality of learning. By knowing our children's personal learning styles, we can make them adapt to the intricate process of learning lessons and syllabi. Each child has his or her own way of learning their class lessons and other useful things of life. Most children possess a delicate mixture of learning styles and techniques. Some of them may possess a dominant style of learning with lesser use for other styles. On the other hand, most of the children use a judicious mix of different learning styles. In fact, we can never have a right or perfect kind of mix. In many cases, learning styles keep changing during the course of brain development in children.

Most of the schools always use two types of dominant learning styles - linguistic and logistic methods. They also use a few numbers of other learning styles and methods. It is a very common fact that people tend to label those children who always use these traditional styles and methods as gifted and endowed with scholastic abilities. People also tend to label those children who use far less liked or used learning styles as ordinary. However, scholastic abilities alone do not count while assessing the overall personality of a child. By recognizing and understanding our children's learning styles, we can easily enhance their learning potentials. When we use optimized learning methods, we can make your children's speed and quality of learning better and result oriented.

Children's learning styles can have far more serious effects than you can imagine. The most preferred learning style can lead the way in which our children learn and understand. Available research displays us that each of the learning styles used by children uses different sectors of the brain. When our children use and involve all areas of the brain, they can easily remember what they learn and understand. Enhancing the learning styles in our children is a sure way to make them scholastically brilliant and mentally smart and intelligent.
