Why you should encourage listening skills?

Why you should encourage listening skills

You might think listening is an automatic response, and it’s true it can be hard to shut out the noise of the world around you, but effective listening is about processing the sounds and responding appropriately to the cues. Effective listening is an essential skill for learning and it’s something you can help your child develop.

The Advantages

If your daughter learns to listen well, she’ll be better at gathering, analyzing, storing and retrieving information. She’ll be more able to use that information to make the intuitive leaps needed to understand what’s being taught at school. Her language and communication skills will be stronger making her better at seeking clarification, expressing ideas and sharing her thought processes; this leads to increased engagement in the learning activity that will help her consolidate her new knowledge more effectively.

What you can help

 Playing games that involve sound can help your daughter associate sound with meaning. You can use rhyming songs and games to help her learn anything from counting to brushing her teeth. You can encourage her to listen more carefully by taking her on a sound walk to give her the opportunity to explore the world around her with more than just sight. Playing verbal word games, such as Twenty Questions or I-Spy, will help her concentrate on what’s being said, extract the relevant information and use it to formulate an appropriate response. This will also help develop the neural pathways in her brain that support memory

It can be infuriating when your child doesn’t listen to you and, while this can sometimes be because she’s so absorbed in what she’s doing she’s blocked out all distractions, it could be she needs to improve her listening skills. It’s comforting to know you can play an active role in this; the better she gets the more effectively she’ll learn and the easier she’ll find it to make and keep friends.

Caring about others is fundamental to our happiness. Helping other people is not only good for them and a great thing to do, it also makes us happier and healthier too

RELATING: Connect with people

Relationships are the most important overall contributor to happiness. People with strong and broad social relationships are happier, healthier and live longer.

Our body and our mind are connected. Being active makes us happier as well as being good for our physical health. It instantly improves our mood and can even lift us out of a depression.

DIRECTION: Have goals to look forward to

Feeling good about the future is important for our happiness. We all need goals to motivate us and these need to be challenging enough to excite us, but also achievable. 

MEANING: Be part of something bigger

People who have meaning and purpose in their lives are happier, feel more in control and get more out of what they do. They also experience less stress, anxiety and depression

RESILIENCE: Find ways to bounce back

All of us have times of stress, loss, failure or trauma in our lives. But how we respond to these has a big impact on our well-being. We often cannot choose what happens to us, but we can choose our own attitude to what happens

5 Reason why laughter is the best medicine

5 Reason why laughter is the best medicine

Laughter is a potent endorphin releaser. One of the most recent studies on laughter shows that laughing with others releases endorphins in the brain—our home-grown feel-good chemicals—via opioid receptors. 

Laughter Increases Resilience. Resilience is the ability to see failure as natural progression to success rather than as a negative outcome. People who are resilient are happier and more successful.

Laughter Relieves Pain. People who are laughing don’t experience less pain, however they report being less bothered by the pain they do experience. It’s not about changing pain levels. The amount of pain remains the same, but your perceived pain levels reduce and your belief that you can cope increases. Laughter by itself isn’t the solution but it can help a person overcome discomfort.

Laughter lightens anger’s heavy load. Nothing diffuses anger and conflict faster than a shared laugh. Looking at the funny side can put problems into perspective and enable you to move on from confrontations without holding onto bitterness or resentment.

Laughter may even help you to live longer. A study in Norway found that people with a strong sense of humor outlived those who don't laugh as much. The difference was particularly notable for those battling cancer.

5 way to prevent behaviour problem in school age-kids

5 way to prevent behaviour problem in school-age kids

To prevent behaviour problems in children both at home and in school, (aside from paying more attention to preschool children), here are some strategies that parents and teachers can use:

Pay attention to what a child asks or demands. Being attentive to the requests of children will make them feel more important and can help them to see things in a positive light.

You can help children to have a positive outlook in life by going a few steps further. As early as now, you can teach a child to have a positive outlook in life by guiding him or her to be more independent and self-sufficient.

Always assure a child of your love and support. Saying “I love you” daily or as often as you can help the child cope with the possible sadness he or she feels whenever you’re not around. The assurance of your love and support can also give them more self-confidence.

Listen to what a child says. Being interested in a child’s daily activities or asking him or her how they feel about certain things will make the child that feel he or she matters. This feeling of significance can help a child feel secure knowing that the adults in their life regard them as important.

Nurture a child’s interests. Encouraging and nurturing a child’s interests, hobbies, and inclinations will make him or her feel that you support his or her decisions and choices. Goo

Existential therapy

Existential Therapy

Existential therapy focuses on free will, self-determination, and the search for meaning—often centering on you rather than on the symptom. The approach emphasizes your capacity to make rational choices and to develop to your maximum potential.

The existential approach stresses that:

All people have the capacity for self-awareness.

Each person has a unique identity that can be known only through relationships with others.

People must continually re-create themselves because life’s meaning constantly changes.

Anxiety is part of the human condition.
