Getting to know the world better is the key to overall development of the child. Global awareness at an early age is the perfect way to introduce kids into a realm beyond their homeland, giving a glimpse of other cultures, habits and traditions. After all, most of us have always aspired to visit other countries; and understanding their cultural nuances is the best way to test the waters and try and figure out the world a little more. At VIBGYOR High Group of Schools, we believe that curiosity deserves to be nurtured and honed to drive students ahead in life. Learning more about the world we live in is one such small step.

‘World Fiesta’ is one of the events of VIBGYOR Kids that focuses on the holistic development of students. The event is designed to present the culmination of the students’ study about different countries of the world, their significance, food and culture in a fun-filled manner. Students demonstrated their skills through poem recitation and dance performances depicting cultures, attire and lifestyle of different countries like India, Japan, Mexico, to name a few. Parents too participated in the preparation of dummy models, highlighting the facts and specialties of different countries that were displayed at the event.

Over 500 students across VIBGYOR schools participated in the event which also saw active participation of many parents.

Senior Kindergarten students from VIBGYOR Kids Lucknow, Kolhapur, Borivali and Airoli – came up with a beautiful representation of ‘Countries of the World’. VIBGYOR Kids, the pre-primary section of VIBGYOR High Group of Schools, organised World Fiesta in the school premises for their students and parents. The event marked the culmination of the students’ study about different countries of the world, their significance, food and culture and was replete with fun-filled engaging activities involving parents.

Children also got a chance to host a round of quiz for their parents. Food stalls with cuisines from different regions such as India, Japan, France, USA, UK, Saudi Arabia were set up. The fund collected through the food sale was further donated to an NGO.

VIBGYOR Kids saw the world come together in their school as they took a peek into a plethora of varied cultures. Principals across various branches shared their view on the event:

Mr. T. Balan, Principal, VIBGYOR Kids, Kolhapur said, “At VIBGYOR Kids, our students get multiple platforms to demonstrate their learning in a fun-filled manner. This not only helps to embed concepts in the minds of children but also build their personality and confidence.”

Ms. Rashmi Singh, Principal, VIBGYOR Kids, Lucknow highlighted the importance of having fun-filled activities to ensure holistic development. She said, “At VIBGYOR Kids, our teaching methodology allows children not only to learn but also enjoy, engage and interact with their peers and parents through various fun-filled activities. We are also thankful to parents for motivating our students with their participation.”

Ms. Diana Isabelle, Principal, VIBGYOR Kids, Borivali said, “At VIBGYOR Kids, we encourage children to discover the fun of learning in attractive, colourful and enriching learning environment. World Fiesta is one such attempt that allows children to strengthen their classroom learning through fascinating activities.”

Mr. Kishore Iyengar, Principal, VIBGYOR Kids, Airoli elaborated on the World Fiesta saying, “At VIBGYOR Kids, we provide our students an exposure to develop their skills at a very young age. We also consider our parents as key partners in the growth and development of our students. Such events allow our children not only to strengthen their concepts learnt in class but also showcase their learning to their parents. I am glad to see the enthusiasm shown by our students as well as parents.

Teaching Digital Citizenship to your Child

The time is long past where parents could shield their children from the ills of social media or keep them away from gadgets. Now gadgets are a ubiquitous aspect of a child’s life, irrespective of his or her age. It has been well-documented that colleges and recruiters go through a potential candidate’s digital footprint before making decisions. With the growing number of teens using social media, the need to communicate on how to conduct yourself online has become vital. It is important for them to know that what they put out on social media today can cause trouble to them tomorrow.

Online behavioural conduct is referred to as digital citizenship. Digital citizenship is the quality of online behaviour that impacts content. By acting responsibly and respectfully, not only can your child enjoy all the offerings of the internet, he or she can also be protected from cyber bullying.
A few basics to share with your child:

  1. Using appropriate language– Children will use the internet to communicate with not only their friends but also their teachers, relatives and the world as a whole. Thus, using appropriate language is necessary.
  2. Mutual respect– Every person has an opinion and respecting that is vital. In case of a disagreement, be polite. Avoid forcing your point on someone or unnecessary verbal debates.
  3. Plagiarism– It is easy to copy someone else’s work and pass it on as your own. The only rule for plagiarism is to not do it. Give credit where it is due.
  4. Think before you post– It is always a good idea to think about how others might feel on the post you wish to share. Don’t be hasty.

As parents, just like you teach your child values and behaviours that you wish them to emulate, the same holds true when they make their foray into the world of social media. With these basic yet simple guidelines, you can help your child to have a healthy digital presence.

How to be a good parent?

Posted on by VIBGYOR Group of Schools

Being a parent is perhaps the toughest job. Even without the difficulty added by gadgets, social media, etc. parenting is a hard job. Good parenting is walking a fine line between being your child’s best friend and inculcating values and principles in your child. While building a rapport with your child is important (especially as they start to grow older), it is equally important to “teach” your child.

Frugality and resisting temptation is a lesson in making appropriate financial decisions learnt as a child. As a parent you want your child to have the best the world has to offer but at the same time, fulfilling all their wishes might lead to poor understanding of finances and what it means to wait.

Extra-curricular classes are great and help your child hone a skill, learn a hobby, explore an activity or meet different people. But filling every hour of every day with such activities should be strictly avoided. “Down time” or time spent doing “nothing” is a great way for your child’s brain to process the day’s events and self-introspection.

Gadgets may give you an easy way to stay in touch with your child, even keep track of their digital footprint, but are poor substitutes for hugs, kisses, praises, pats on the back, “live” conversations and general human contact. Don’t underestimate the power a hug can have over all the emoticons that you can send on your smart phones.

Many times we don’t realise this but the negativity we read and see on social media has a direct impact on our moods, even our dreams. Staying away from them may be impossible but filtering and consciously trying to not let it affect your interactions is the least you can do.

The best that any parent can do is being involved and “showing up” when your child needs you. As the saying goes, “In bringing up children, spend on them half as much money and twice as much time.”
