HELP KIDS IMAGINE A BETTER WAY INSTEAD

Social and emotional learning is a fundamental part of our education and child development. It’s a process through which all our young kids acquire knowledge, different skills, and the right attitude to nurture healthy characteristics in a personality, managing the emotional quotient as well as reaching the set targets and goals, and also learns to be empathetic for others, thereby establishing strong relationships.

Social-emotional learning definitely needs to be action-oriented
Ideally, schools should be able to connect the children with professionals who would help them to make choices between what is wrong to what is strong, what is good and what isn’t. Azotus has come up with a very important segment called as child mentoring where the child’s mental health is completely taken care of by the counsellors. As of now, due to the prevailing situations kids need to be understood, pampered, monitored at home itself, as these growing years are crucial for him as every day is a total learning for him.

Emotional strength prepares kids for the real world
Research has proved that children with a good SEL skill set have a better experience of life and the outcomes of which are reflected once they actually get to college and professional careers. They demonstrate sympathy/empathy, and have considerably a deeper understanding of self/social awareness. The children are better decision makers and constructively manage time. Being a Parent I can say that the concept of worksheets has always helped my daughter in her growing years, I recommend the same to the parents I meet that do choose the appropriate resource when it comes to your children’s academic welfare. At Azotus I have observed that the Intriguing Worksheets for kids are quite interesting and very much doable for the kids.

Bring power to your child’s life.
As a Parent and a Transformational Coach, I would suggest that we need to set our sights on how we monitor our kids’ consistent mental and physical development that can help them to improve their outcomes based on academic achievements. The way we engage our kids is definitely responsible for their growth, if we try engaging them in constructive learning which is possible through the worksheets by Azotus it will certainly gauge them to a future with endless possibilities. The worksheets help in the retention of concepts in the young minds using effective methodology keeping the fun element intact.

Why do we need a mentor?

‘To build a trusting, but real, relationship with your child, you only have to be human.”

It is said that we all need a mentor and everyone deserves to be mentored. However, most of us, as Guardians, Parents, were never formally trained on how to mentor our children especially. It’s quite a proud moment sometimes for kids to picture their parents doing things, like playing a musical instrument, volunteering at Ngo, watching family movies, playing a sport, or pursuing an art. If your child observes you doing these things, you become more of a “Friend” rather than “just a parent.”

There is no magic wand that turns a person into a mentor but definitely At Azotus we have Expert counsellors who assess the child and counsel them using different modalities also the Parents are taken in the loop so that they too know how to deal with a child in a better way. Azotus (www.azotus.in) helps to Introduce the child to things that they like or choose to do. This is indeed a useful way for your child to learn more about their family and people around them.
