Summer Hiatus & Back to School

First the anticipation of vacations and finally gearing up and getting used to lazy mornings and suddenly the hiatus is over and back to school. Over are the lazy days of summer or children doing activities or playing in their own time. After weeks of summer holidays, playing, exploring, family trips, visits to grandma and grandpa’s place, it can be challenging for children to go back to school as they might feel anxious or excited about seeing friends again or upset that holidays are over, concerned about work load and keeping up with school work and curriculum.  The emotions of a great many parents more closely resemble sadness, and even resentment. But in general, we get to see reenergized smiling faces rearing to go.

Every Summer has its own story!

Children of all ages have different experiences of going back to school and parents should tune in to work out how their children are coping and what they are feeling.

The first day of school can be crazy. It’s perfectly normal to feel weird, nervous and upset on the first day of school. Getting back to school routine, adjusting to new workloads takes time after a long summer break.

For the child who is going to school in noida for the first time, parents have a very special role to play. Most children have gone to a play school or nursery and are happy to go to a big school. While there is excitement, there is also nervousness. So, prepare your child for that. If it is not a new term but just reopening after a short break, students must check their homework list. Ensure that children have completed their homework and projects. Check if their uniforms still fit (children are prone to shoot up suddenly in the holidays), they have the socks, sports uniform and shoes as per specification. 

Teachers of schools in Noida and their parents voice concerns about the possible negative impact of summer vacation on student learning. As children learn best when instruction is continuous, the long summer vacation breaks the rhythm of instruction, leads to forgetting and requires a significant amount of review of material when students return to school in the fall. Also, the long summer break can have a greater negative effect on the learning of children with special educational needs.

Your relationship with your child is always much more important than any behaviors you are trying to change. This perspective and the bond it nurtures between you and your child, will carry you right through until next summer. Building your child’s sense of resilience can be one way to help them tackle any back to school challenges.

Destroy What Destroys You

JBMS : Nursery admission in greater noida schools Fast moving lifestyle, stressful life of metros where unending pressure of pollution, traffic and peer groups and parents to perform better, be it in academics or corporate life pushes us towards addiction.

Addiction is a lifelong, relapsing brain disease characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, difficult to control despite its harmful consequences. Repeated use of drug can lead to brain damage as a person’s self-control is lost and their ability to resist urges to take drug. These brain changes can be persistent as this disorder is at increased risk.

It's common for a person to relapse, but relapse doesn't mean that treatment doesn’t work. As with other chronic health conditions, treatment should be ongoing and should be adjusted based on how the patient responds. Treatment plans need to be reviewed often and modified to fit the patient’s changing needs.

No matter how hopeless the situation seems, it is never too late to turn things around.

There are often telltale signs and symptoms of drug abuse that are both physical and behavioral, including:

·         Sudden mood swings.

·         Changes in normal behavior.

·         Lack of hygiene and grooming.

·         Withdrawal from friends and family.

·         Loss of interest in normal social activities and hobbies.

·         Changes in sleeping patterns.

·         Bloodshot or glassy eyes.

·         Constant sniffles or runny nose.

Each drug has its own set of specific symptoms, but these are usually found in most drug abusers.

Treatment for drug addiction generally isn’t a cure. However, addiction is treatable and can be successfully managed. People who are recovering from an addiction will be at risk for relapse for years and possibly for their whole lives. Research shows that combining addiction treatment medicines with behavioral therapy ensures the best chance of success for most patients. Treatment approaches tailored to each patient’s drug use patterns and any co-occurring medical, mental, and social problems can lead to continued recovery.

Drug use and addiction are preventable. Results from NIDA-funded research have shown that prevention programs involving families, schools, communities, and the media are effective for preventing or reducing drug use and addiction.

World revolves around the children. Children’s future revolves around education

Not all children in India are lucky to enjoy their childhood. The State of Child Workers in India report by UNICEF, based on the latest Indian census data, says the proportion of child workers in the 5-9 year age group jumped to 24.8 percent in 2011 from 14.6 percent in 2001.  Child labor is an international concern because of its damages, spoils, and destroys and exploiting the future of the children. 

Child labor and poverty are inevitably bound together, and if we continue to use the labor of children as the treatment for the social disease of poverty, we will have both poverty and child labor to the end of time.” The children are our hope and future of our nation, but millions of children are deprived in our country. The law of India says that for the child, below an age of 14 cannot employ in any factory and offices or restaurant. These rules come into the human rights for the children. Child labor “is being seen as something which is too difficult” to stop.   ‘What is done to children, they will do to society’. Child labor is a major hurdle in the economic development of a nation. 

A child, when engaged in economic activities, is deprived of proper education. Child labor negatively affects the health of the child. Engagement of children in factories and mines often leads to severe diseases. Child labor is very harmful for young ones in order to their physical, moral and mental development. Though many reasons are there for child slavery or child trafficking but survey says that main cause of child labor are high level poverty and lack of access to good education. 

Development of the country is directly affected by this crime and child labor is a big reason of under-development of the country. A financially developed country provides all circumstances to its citizens that can help in making their new generations educated and healthy. Childhood is the biggest important phase of a child’s life and considered as an initial learning period for them which directly affects their future. Children require love, care, education, health, morals and financially secure future from their parents, and if a parent is not capable to give them such life; it gives rise to the “child labor”. UNICEF has been working to reduce and eliminate child labor using a combination of the following strategies:

 •         Reform of existing legislation, for example setting a minimum age for child labor that brings  Policy coherence.

•         Law enforcement to ensure the implementation of the Child labor Act.  

  •         Expanding education access, improving quality and relevance of education, addressing violence in  Schools.

 •        Awareness-raising and mobilization of families and communities against the exploitation of           Children.

 •         Social protection programmes and cash transfers to improve the economic situation of families and to reduce the “need” to send children to work.

 •        Strengthening child protection systems, including the Integrated Child Protection Scheme and Implementation of Juvenile Justice Act

Working towards convergence between government departments to prevent child labor and  rehabilitate existing child laborers.

  Best Schools in Noida Expressway are doing their best to reach out to the masses to spread the awareness of child labor and rescue the one trapped in it. Child labor is not uniform. It takes many forms depending upon the type of work that children are made to do, the age and sex of the child and whether they work independently or with families. Due to this complex nature of child labor, there is no one strategy that can be used to eliminate it.    

Education is a key to preventing child labor and has been one of the most successful methods to reduce child workers in India. This includes expanding education access to schooling, improving the quality and relevance of education, addressing violence in schools, providing relevant vocational training and using existing systems to ensure child workers return to school.
