If your child lacks an inter-est in studying Step back and instead of blaming your child , Identify Why? try to understand why he developed this problem?
Before your desperation with your child’s lack of interest in studies and his/her lowering grades drive you
to scold and punish him; you need to un-derstand one thing clearly. As the saying goes, ”You can take a horse to the water but you can not make him drink”. Simi-larly, by punishments, you can force your child to study but getting him interested in it and doing it for him is a different game all together. The key is to first be-come his friend. Understand your child as a person, his strengths and weaknesses; likes and dislikes; and also ”Why he does not like studying? ".Take an interest in him; get involved in his life. Stop compet-ing and comparing your child with friends/ relatives’ children and forcing him to fulfill goals you set. This reduces the pressure and he does not find studying such a daunting task then, because expectations are reduced. Let him breathe, live and re-lax first. Accept him for the person he/she is, talk, listen, love share, depend and let him depend on you. If you give him what he wants in terms of time, attention and affection then he will also respond.
Monitor, Regulate & Limit Distractions
The next step is to balance friendship with regulation and rules that are not just made but enforced strictly as well. It is easier to enforce rules when you are friends with your child and the child un-derstands that rules and restrictions exist in unison with love and affection. In the fast moving world of children, distractions
HOw TO GET YOUR CHILD INTERESTED IN STUDIES ?

ranging today from computer games, social networking sites and the internet, TV , mobile phone and time with friends; can all rob them of valuable time and attention; if not regulated. It is essential therefore to not just keep an eye on your young one, when he is indulging in them (not to spy on them but provide better guidance) but also to regulate the amount of time spent on them. Restrict fun activ-ity time to a maximum of two to three hours a day and make it understand that it is a time the child earns by studying the stipulated number of hours post school. Regulating these activities also equals lessening distractions and improving con-centration. If your child refuses to follow rules, do convey the message that studies are a priority.
Let him realize it is in his own best inter-est
Let your child know that by studying he is not doing you a favor but in fact in his own best interest .Understand what motivates him and what future career he wants to pursue; explain him how study-ing various subjects helps him in achiev-ing them. Show him the practical uses that subjects he studies, will have in real life and how they will impact his future.
Practically, bring out the relevance of mathematical calculations while shop-ping, getting home interiors done or even playing games like “Sudoku”. Explain the relevance of languages for communicat-ing and ideas or even making friends and enjoying storybooks and films. Share with him the joys of geography with an atlas or a globe and tell him when he goes to foreign countries; how knowledge about it will help him. Simply just make every subject he studies become useful, practi-cal and meaningful in everyday life.
Identify The Root Cause of The Problem
If your child lacks an interest in studying, identify why? Step back and instead of blaming your child try to understand why he has developed this problem. Speak to him and speak to his teachers. If required take permission to sit in his class and monitor why this is so. Identifying the root cause is very important because in it lies solution. Is it the child cannot understand subjects? Does he find the teaching-
methods unenthusiastic and boring? Is he being bullied in school? Is he feeling too pressurized? Has he lost complete confi-dence in himself of performing better? Or is it a medical problem of eyesight, deaf-ness, Down syndrome or a psychological condition, like Attention Deficit Disorder. If so get professional help.
Always Focus on Your Child’s Strengths Not Weaknesses
Every child is different and not all are exceptional brilliant in every subject. Most are students of above average intelligence who are strong in some subjects and weak in some. The solution lies in appre-ciating the child who are strong in some subjects he is strong in and building up his confidence first. The next step would be to make him realize that if he can excel in his chosen subject then he can do well in subjects, he is weak in as well. While telling him so, offer to help out yourself or take the assistance of a good tutor.
Try Creative Approaches
Subject teachers do exist who often make studies seem dull and/or complicated.
Frankly speaking there is nothing you can do about it except change schools, where again there are no guarantees. However what you can control is how your child un-derstands the same subject post school, either taught by you or a tutor. It is es-sential however that the home tutor you select, is someone your child can relate to and who can simplify things. As a parent you need to approach studies creatively too. You can get your child interested in literature by buying him books or get-ting enrolled in a library and taking him to theatres and films on the subject. You can also get him a blackboard at home, to practice writing on it and he can play act the role of a teacher or professor, while studying lessons.
Encourage him with Rewards
Encouragement works better any day than criticism would. Rewards also work bettering the long term than punish-ment do. Create a study area for your child where he feels like studying. Take his inputs and make it his own zone with decorations, adequate ventilation, and light and fun desk gear. Every time your child does well praise him to everyone
1 Many assert that only girls or boys schools can effectively customize their teaching to the male or female psyche & help adolescents perform better, since here students are less distracted by those of the opposite gender. However not everyone sub-scribes to this view & veteran educationists vouch for the fact that co-ed schools have their own advantages. A co-ed school is one in which girls & boys study together & is based on the belief that both gain from the other’s strengths.
2 Depending on the gender ratio of girls & boys in a co-ed school, both tend to balance each other out positively. Thus as per research if a girl is made to sit next to a boy in class, the girl gossips less & the boy is chided by the girl for being oth-erwise distracted. The result is that both concen-trate better in the classroom.3 Pupils in co-ed schools are generally more broad minded & do not feel shy or inhibited of those belonging to the opposite gender. In contrast they naturally make friends & acquain-tances with them & hence are better equipped to interact in a real–life work environment later.4 Boys & girls from these schools, are also much confident and are capable of developing genuine friendship & sustaining relationships with those of opposite gender without adding a romantic angle.5 Such schools also help in breaking down mis-conceptions that girls may have about boys & vice versa by grooming both to interact, respect, un-derstand the other, in academics as welll as extra curricular activities such as sports, drama & art.6 Another positive aspect of co-ed schools is that it fosters a pleasant, healthy & friendly atmo-sphere for students in a well supervised environ-ment, unlike the atmosphere in a few “prison –like” ‘single gender’ schools for girls. - By Anirudh Bainwala
PLUSES OF ENROLLING YOUR CHILD IN A CO –EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL
around. Whenever he studies, make some-thing special that he likes to eat or buy him a little present, when you know he deserves it for working hard.
Show Patience
It is a well known fact that one needs lot of patience when dealing with children, yet most parents run out of it when handling kids. The crux of situation is that when you get annoyed, angry and desperate as a parent you loose control and your child
can easily see it. For your child to get interested in studies, it may take quiet a bit of effort and persistence on your part.You may have to try again and again and approach him on the subject of studies from many differ-ent angles. Result may take sometime in coming and it may be a while, before you open the study door and find your child studying there without coaxing, but if you are persistent and patient, it will happen. - By Aditi Malhotara

Your neurons are made up of many things, including omega-3 fatty acids, so reach for nuts,
flaxseeds, and, most of all, fatty fish such as salmon, which contain more omega-3s than any
other food. And since, like the fender of a car, your brain can get oxidized (it's called oxidative
stress), seek out antioxidants, found in dark fruits and veggies.
Our brain is connected to our muscles, as UCLA neuroscientist Fernando Gomez-
Pinilla reminds us. Aerobic exercise--five times a week for 30 minutes--increases
electrical activity in the brain and helps it process information faster. . . .
Daily sleep requirements vary--just make sure you get enough. Chroni-
cally sleep-deprived people think they're doing fine, but their perfor-
mance drops off without their noticing.
Meditative breathing actually alters your gene expression:
inflammation- oriented ones turn off, metabolism-oriented
ones turn on. All of which helps focus.
FEED YOUR NEEDS FOR MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY
siX INTERESTING wAYS TO TRAIN YOUR BRAIN
Our minds are often drifting during our waking hours, but that doesn't have to be a productivity loss, says
Arizona State research psychologist Peter Killeen. When you've exhausted your neurons on a single task,
take a break and see what your brain comes up with--free association and analogizing are keys to creativity.

Kim by Rudyard Kipling - 0405
The fountainhead by ayn rand- of course, i cannot give this a miss. it teaches you to value your self and your thoughts. Very few books have been able to deliver meaning with such impact. its surely not a book you would want to complete in one read. give it time and you will see your ideals coming into place.
Kim by rudyard Kipling- a book about sheer experience of life. it puts forth success and failure, mistakes and achievement in such a candid way that you relate every such instance of your life with the book.
catch 22 by Joseph heller- a true taste of sarcasm. a hefty satire on wars- that's how i would like to put it. it will make you question the decisions of the system being taken around you while still allowing you not to flow into emotional empathy.
Kite runner by Khalid hosseini - a book that will make you cry. not a recommendation for the pedantic individual, this unravels the depths of friendship, a bond between a father and a son, betrayal and its ultimate redemption. with one of the most throat-croaking endings ever, this book should be read, irrespective of age.
howl by allen ginsberg - This book just blows your mind right off. no bull-shit and hardcore to the core. This book was so truthful that it was banned. it blows the lid of many issues that your elders don't want you to know. But, it will show you the power of simple truth in a unique way.

When it comes to being productive, we are a nation obsessed.
The sheer vastness of the field speaks to the unavoidable fact that no
one piece of advice fits all. For Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, the secret to being productive is hardly ever taking a vacation, or, for that matter, a bathroom break. For Leo Widrich, cofounder of the social media utility startup Buf-fer, it's a daily nap in a bunk bed--in his office.
The solutions out there are as varied as we are. The trick is finding out
what works for you.
We suggest start-ing with identifying what kind of creative
machine you are. Look on the next page and get a from-the-hip assessment of character-istics you might identify with, plus ideas to keep yourself running at optimum efficiency, all while keeping your origi-nality--and sanity--intact. Then share your type with friends and get feedback.

HOME WORK TIPSFOR PARENTS
MY CHILD'SACADEMIC SUCCESS
Make sure your child has a quiet, well-lit place to do homework. Avoid having your child do homework with television on or in places with other distractions such as people coming and going.
Make sure the materials your child needs such as paper, pencil and a dictionary, are available. Ask your child if special materials will be needed for some projects and get them in advance.
Help your child with time management.Estab-lish a set time each day for doing homework. Don’t let your child leave homework until just before bedtime.
Think about using a weekend morning or afternoon for working on big projects, espe-cially if the project involves getting together with classmates.
Be positive about homework. Tell your child how important school is.The attitude you express about homework will be the attitude your child acquires.
When your child does homework, you do homework. Show your child that the skills they are learning are related to things you do as an adult. If your child is reading, you read too. If your child is doing math , balance your checkbook.
When your child asks for help, provide guid-ance, not answers. Giving answers means your child will not learn the material. Too much help teaches your child that when the going gets rough, someone will do the work for him or her.

When the teacher asks you to play a role in homework, do it . Cooperate with the teacher. It shows your child that the school and home are a team. Follow the directions given by the teacher.
If homework is meant to be done by your child alone, stay away. Too much parent involvement can prevent homework from having some positive effects. Homework is a great way for kids to develop independent, life long learning skills.Stay informed. Talk with your child’s teacher. Make sure you know the purpose of homework and what your child’ class rules are.
Help your child for signs of failure and frustration. Let your child take a short break if she is having trouble keeping her mind on an assignment.
Watch your child for signs of failure and frustration. Let your child take a short break if she is having trouble keeping her mind on an assignment.
Reward progress in homework. If your child has been success-ful in homework completion and is working hard, celebrate that success with a special event (e.g . pizza, a walk, a trip to the park) to reinforce the positive effort.

It enhances abilities and skills of a child in areas such as language, motor skills, psychosocial cognitive, learning, etc. Early childhood is a crucial stage of life in terms of a child’s physical, intellectual, emotional and social development. Growth of mental and physical abilities progress at an astound-ing rate and a very high proportion of learning takes place from birth to age six. It is a time when children particularly need high quality personal care and learning experiences.Five years back parents used to consider
preschool as a place for letting their chil-dren interact with peers and spend some time away from home. They wanted to help their child to conquer shyness and be comfortable in meeting more people. Nowadays the parents are aware of the child’s pace, focused on each every mile-stone achieved by their child and on holis-tic development of the child. The shift has been immensely on taking preschools as a casual place to keep their children occu-pied for a few hours to taking preschools seriously as monumental in their child’s development.
Priti Srivastava, Founder Director, Vidyãrambh – The International Preschool and Childcare Centerssays, “We have seen a huge shift in the mindset of the parents. Seven years ago only the higher income group in metros recognised the need to send their chil-dren to preschools but now all parents are open to the idea of sending their children to preschools. The awareness about the way quality early childhood education can bring about to the child’s personality has been recognised widely. The other major change and concern that has started happening is that K-12 schools have started opening preschools under their banner. The preschool space has seen a major change in the last few years and only those players who provide quality education in the long run would be present in the near future with lots of consolidation happening over time.”Ongoing research established that, the preschool, as an institution, provides stim-ulation for the child’s physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development, in ways that one could not get in the home environment. This sector has shown tremendous growth during the past few years and is familiar not only with the
high-end income groups or the affluent class, but is also rapidly gaining popular-ity among the middle class households, which have the capability and willingness to pay for quality education.The owner of Strawberry Frog preschool, Dr K P Singh, Founding Chairman says, “Pre- school education has changed for good over the years, especially the early childhood education. Schools have moved from rote method teach-ing to more activity based teaching and learning. There is more awareness about childhood development and the importance of learning in this age group. However, the schools are still more focused on develo
ping 3R’s, more ever all the areas( cogni-tive ,language and Physical) seem to be getting addressed but there is no focus on the Social Emotional development. Especially in this age when the family structures are moving towards nuclear structure and both the parents are working. This area is getting neglected. Unless this area of development is ad-dressed well by the Educational institu-tions we may have a huge problem with young people with emotional problems and ill adjusted individuals towards the society.” The significance of this very industrycan be measured by the very fact thatit occupies the 3rd largest expendituregroup in the Indian household It is expected to be worth `13,300crore by 2015-16, according to a Crisilresearch report Fee depends largely on thelocation, franchise and type of thepreschool

The rise in nuclear families and increase in disposable incomes have led to greater demand for quality preschools even in small towns and non-metros. Still preschool industry is in nascent stage in India with around 1.1% enrol-ment in comparison with France or Scotland where preschool enrolment is 100 percent. There is a mushrooming growth of preschools in India over last decade but only 17% of Indian pre-school market belongs to the organised sector. This segment is attracting invest-ments from private players. According to a research report published in 2011 “In-dian Preschool Market Forecast”, Indian preschool market has been witnessing rapid growth for the past few years on the back of rise in disposable income, rising number of working mothers, increasing trend of nuclear families, and escalating demand for high quality pre-school education for toddler. However, low market penetration and low barriers to entry along with the increasing aware-ness, popularity, and propensity of young working professionals to pay, are
some of the drivers, which suggest that the market offers considerable opportunity for investors. Moreover, it is expected that, the preschool market will reach to USD 1,833 Million by 2014, growing at a CAGR of around 13% during 2011-2014. The preschool Industry is growing at a very fast pace that is 36% per annum as against the education industry growth of 15% er annum, which means that the parents are understanding the importance of early childhood education.

Starting a PreschoolLooking at the tremendous potential of preschools it makes great economic sense market to open a preschool through franchise model India. Various models exist under organised industry in preschool are direct chains, through fran-chise model and extended K-12 school.There are various benefits that the fran-chise model offers such as the oppor-tunity to be associated with established brand, which helps in attracting more kids. Further the franchisors provide cur-riculum support, training support, set up support, branding and marketing support, etc. One major advantage of this business model is sharing of expenses, knowledge, experience, brand image, as well as tech-nical expertise.

TRANSFORMING EDUCATION
The NIMT Group was established in 1987 with a vision to improve quality of education in the country. With a senior
secondary school in place in the year 1987, the group took its next leap towards higher education in 1992. National Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad was established that offered management courses at Undergraduate and Graduate level. NIMT evolved from the need for a world-class business school in Asia. The founders, some of the best minds from the corporate and academic worlds, anticipated the leadership needs of the emerging Asian economies. They recognised that the rapidly changing business landscape would require young leaders who not only have an understanding of the developing economies but who also present a global perspective. NIMT is committed to creating such leaders through its innovative pro-grammes, outstanding faculty and thought leadership. Funded entirely by private corporations, foundations and individuals from around the world who believe in its vision, the NIMT is a not-for-profit organisation.
NIMT, Ghaziabad became the centre of excellence for management education in India and was regularly fea-
tured amongst the top 10 management institutions in India. Eventually NIMT continuing with its vision estab-lished four more campuses in Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Kotpulti. These campuses, located in tranquil set-tings, provide an environment that is conducive to learn-ing. The campuses are self-contained oases in which the students will find that all their needs are met and sur-passed by the world-class amenities and facilities.
NIMT has furthered in its mission and started three more senior secondary schools and 16 colleges in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. The schools follow CBSE, ICSE IB and IGCSE curriculums. The colleges offer undergrad-uate and post graduate courses in hospitality, medical and para-medical sciences, law, engineering, manage-ment and teacher education.
NIMT has further extended its reach with online and distance learning courses in management that use state of the art technology backend to deliver MOOCs to its students across the world. This intiative has enabled it
to deliver its programmes widely and redefine the high level learning at college level as well as redefine the university campus experience.
NIMT has also established a multi speciality 100 bed-ded CGHS empanelled hospital in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The hospital serves a large village and urban population in the area which lacks crucial medical facili-ties. The hospital is a multi specialty hospital with all the modern facilities and services at affordable rates.
NIMT has transformed the Indian education Scene at all levels and plans to further make inroads with its testing division All Indian Association of Management and Technical Institutions that shall conduct tests at national and international scale. Further NIMT plans to expand its chain of preschools strawberry frog in the next 2-3 years.

And when they hatch, I shall have a good poultry farm “.She further thought,” I shall sell some of the Chickens and buy a fine dress.Seeing it on my body , all the boys will admire me, but I will turn them away Lost in day dreams she forget about the pail on her head. She tossed her head with a jerk and the pail of milk came tumbling down. It was broken and all milk got spilt .”Dear o dear” she cried “ I have lost my all.”
The queen of hearts She made some tartsAll on a summer day;The knave of hearts,He stole thos tarts;And with them ran away.The king of HeartsCalled for the tarts,And beat the Knave full sore,The Knave of heartsBrought back the tartsAnd vowed he’d steal no more

THE ICE CREAM TOwN
One day I saw a dream, A town of Ice CreamThe rivers of milk and chocolate, And lots of strawberry cakeI don’t know where I was But I found a castle thereI entered the castle, And met many friends.Some were bear And some were dear
Three were rats and four big cats.Before I could complete my dreamMy mother woke me up when clock told sixAlas it was just a dream! What a wonderful dream!

THE MONTHS
January brings the snow, Makes our feet and fingers glowFebruary brings the rain, Thaws the frozen lake again,March brings breezes loud and shrill, Stirs the dancing daggodil.April brings the roses sweet, Scatters daisies at our feet.May brings flocks of pretty lamps, Skipping by their fleecy dams.June brings lots of holidays, Time to tour and play.Hot July,brings cooling showers, Apricots and lilly flowers.August brings the sheaves of corn, Then the harvest home is borneWarm September brings the fruit,Sportsmen then begin to shoot.Then to gather nuts is pleasant,Fresh October brings the pheasant.Dull November brings the blast,Then the leaves are whirling fast.Chill December brings the sleet, Blazing fire, and Chirstmas treat.
A PSALM OF LIFE
TELL me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream ! — For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem.
Life is real ! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal ; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way ; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle ! Be a hero in the strife !
Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant ! Let the dead Past bury its dead ! Act,— act in the living Present ! Heart within, and God o'erhead !
Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time ;
Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate ; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.
