review of the 4th session.

Hi everyone,
here is the review of the fourth session.Hope I remember most of the points.

REVIEW OF THE FOURTH SESSION.

                   

            The beautiful morning started with meditation. As each one entered, we were told to take two icecream sticks and a straw and rubber bands. I was wondering what to make out of these? But as proceeded with it, I found there were so many things we could do like arrow ,tree, aeroplane, bird, caterpiller etc.

            Then we were asked to do what we have never done before. That was amusing part.  The saying on the board

                        "if it ain't moving

                         "i" ain't moving

            made me think so much and there is much more in it and the kids mind is full of so many things and we have to understand them better.

 

            The 4 steps we undergo while learning something is

·      Unconscious incompetence

·      Conscious  incompetence

·      Conscious competence

·      Unconscious competence

The 2^nd, 3^rd  stage is filled with frustration, anxiety, pressure & effort is more in that stage.

 

What made us learn something?

1. Goal
• Desire/failure
• Aspiration/inspiration
• Achievement/satisfaction
• Need-result
2. Liking/interest
3. Reward/appreciation/encouragement
4. Freedom to act ("INVOLVEMENT")

 

WE SHOULD LEAVE THE KID TO MAKE MISTAKES AND LEARN BY ITSELF.

 

We often discourage them by impinching their ideas while we really think that we are encouraging them. This is most important part of each one of the parent to think & realize before it is too late.

            The four letters which help the child to learn anything are

              F – fun(interesting)

              A – aim(goal)

               I – involvement

               R – reward

I was surprised to hear that PATIENCE is the last thing to work with children. I should know more about that.     

We should give the kids "freedom to do what they like" & "freedom to do how they like".

 

The exercise we did

            I feel good

            I feel great

            I feel excited

 was nice which depicts our capacity, ability & motivation towards the goal we set for ourselves.

What is u'r wish that you will ask a genie?  Was nice. I've come across such a question so many times but I never gave thought about being SPECIFIC in that wish/goal.       Mr.Ratnesh made  me think on that part.

 

"How do we wish is Important" than "What do we wish."

            Writing "I am GREAT" was nice.I never thought that I'm great at so many things. As I kept on thinking I myself was surprised . We never know our ability till someone makes us think about ourself. The goal setting is important. Personal, professional, family goals.

" CLIMBING THE HILL MAKES US STRONGER AND THAT'S IMPOPRTANT THAN REACHING THE TOP."

Motivation is important . Kids have motivation inside them & we h've to help them to come out with it.

As the card says,

            " If u want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood & don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the sea".

and that's the way u motivate.
