Ways To Help Students Who Struggle With Anxiety

Everyone experiences a bit of fear of being judged, but for students with social anxiety, the fear is much worse.
In children, anxiety can be more than just “worries.” Anxiety can affect classroom performance and overall development in a child, because, an anxious brain can’t absorb new information or adapt to new things as effectively as a non-anxious brain.

But, the good news is that social anxiety in children is treatable with the help of a good network of parents, counselors, and teachers.

However, here we bring to you a few ways to help calm anxious kids:

Be Understanding

If you start over-controlling and being harsh towards your child, chances are high that your child will suffer from high levels of anxiety. Instead be understanding and encourage your child to face different situations and help him participate in various decision-making tasks.
Remind yourself that everyone faces difficulties in life and that by helping to cope with the situation, he or she will be gaining life-long skills, that will allow him to face the challenges in future.  

Tell Your Child That It Is Okay To Be Imperfect
It is important to encourage your child to work hard but equally important to accept and embrace your child's mistakes and imperfections.
Your kid must be studying in one of the best International Schools in Mumbai, or in one of the best

IGCSE schools in Bhayander, but you need to keep in mind that he/she is not a superman or a wonder woman to excel in everything...... and that is ok.
Striving for perfection will reinforce low self-esteem and increase anxiety in young children. Moreover, throughout the life, there will always be a flaw that needs work, a pound to be lost or a skill to be improved.  And while trying to make everything perfect, you cannot goof up with your child’s mental development or have a down day with them.

Stop Competing Your Child With Others
This is the worst thing that you can do with your kids. Competition is fine, but it has to be a healthy competition that enforces motivation and not discouragement.
However, in reality, you should encourage your child to be competitive with his own self. Just encouraging him to keep up with his own achievement, will not only make him stronger but will help him tackle the anxiety without much effort.

Spend Quality Time
Every child needs quality time with their parents to feel secured and loved. Many a time’s children are lost in negative thoughts and in criticism. And by spending quality time with the kids, you will be able to share their thoughts and give them some positive suggestions and ideas. The more you spend time with them, the more will you be able to reinforce positive attributes in your child.  In short, this activity will help kids overcome their anxiety and help them live a better positive life in future.

Today even the education system is focusing on how to handle anxiety and fear in students. Some nursery schools in Mira Road are taking novel approaches to help anxious students. By providing a comfortable and holistic learning environment, the school promises to hold your child’s hand throughout the life and direct them to their goal and win the victor's cup.

In fact, many schools in Bhayander and other parts of Mumbai have been successful in combating anxiety, with meetings arranged involving the teacher, psychologist and parents or caregiver.
So, if you really wish to bring put the best in your child, ensure you pick a school that specializes in working with kids and helps them overcome fear and anxiety.

5 Tips On How to Keep Children Safe in Winter

As the temperature drops, your child gets susceptible to various illnesses like cold, cough, viral infections, flu etc.  Hence it becomes very important to keep children safe in winter.

Here are some tips that you can follow:

1. Healthy Diet

You must be satisfied with the thought that your kid is enjoying a great Christmas party and other winter season events in one of the top schools in Mira Bhayandar or in one of the best international schools in your city, however, at the same time you also need to remember that your kid stays healthy as he enjoys all the varied food options that come exclusively during the winter events. Having cakes, pastries, and cookies on occasions and parties is fine, but make sure these are not the only ingredients in his daily life.

Ensure your kid has sufficient amount of fiber, proteins, and essential nutrients so that he can fight off the winter infections like common cold and flu etc.

Winters usually come with a variety of greens and other crunchy vegetables. Include them in the kid’s diet, so that he stays healthy throughout the season.

2. Keep Them Hydrated

There are many schools in Bhayander east and in other parts of Mumbai that offer a variety of sports activities for children. In such cases, if children happen to venture out to school without consuming enough water, it will cause dehydration in their body.

Since winter is a dry season, it is vital for our system to be adequately hydrated. So make sure that the child is drinking a lot of water as this will hydrate his body and keep him active in school activities.

 3. Moisturize

Make sure your kid applies plenty of moisturizing cream after his bath. A good shower followed by dollops of moisturizer will ensure that the child has supple, soft and healthy skin that glows even during the harsh winters.

4. Beware of Clothing Hazards

Scarfs, shawls, and hood strings can strangle kids who are smaller, hence make sure you avoid dressing them up in such clothes. Instead, opt for sweaters, pullovers, caps, hand gloves, high length socks etc, that are easy to wear and remove back.

5. Understand When to Visit the Doctor

Most winter seasons are pretty normal and easy going, however, if you find your baby is wheezing or has trouble breathing or has diarrhea or vomiting etc, ensure you visit the doctor immediately. An early check-up will save your kid from dangerous infections and will help strengthen his body immunity quickly.
