I’ve been seeing videos of parents/teachers using fake ultrasound images to “show” children worms in their tummy after eating junk food, or pretending they’ve lost their eyesight after looking at a phone. I don't like these.

See, I understand the intention is to change a child's behaviour. But I worry that we are using fear to teach them and telling them things that simply aren't true.

One day, children will discover that there were no worms in their tummy and that looking at a phone didn't make their teacher go blind. And when that happens, we don’t just lose credibility on that one topic; we risk losing authenticity in everything else we say. And also when something has been unfairly forbidden, it may even become more intriguing.

At our preschool, even very young children are taught simple, truthful reasons.

We tell them that our tummy breaks food down and our body takes the useful nutrients from it. For eg., a carrot gives our body fibre, vitamins & other nutrients that help us grow. Candy and many highly processed foods may give us energy for a short time, but very little of what a growing body needs.

So we don't say that candy is bad or that candy will give you worms; we say, “Candy doesn't give your body what it needs, so we may have it very rarely and only a little.”

You say this often enough, and it registers. The child begins to understand the why rather than simply being afraid of the food.

The same applies to screens. We explain that brains grow through playing, talking, reading, imagining, and exploring with all 5 senses, while bodies need movement to grow strong. Screens can take time away from these things, and too much screen use, especially near bedtime, can interfere with the sleep our brains and bodies need.

These facts aren't scary. They're simply true. We don't need to frighten children into healthy choices. We have to respect them enough to tell them the truth, and make the effort (even though it may be hard sometimes) to help them understand the why behind the choices we are asking them to make.

भारत की मशहूर टाटा चाय कंपनी के "ताजमहल" ब्रांड ने विजयवाड़ा में एक बड़ा होर्डिंग लगाया है। जहां काफी बारिश होती है। इस होर्डिंग पर बड़े बड़े चम्मच लगे हैं। जब बारिश होती है तो इन चम्मचों में पानी जमा हो जाता है, जिसके वजन से चम्मच मुड़ कर सर्किट बोर्ड से टकराते हैं। जिसके कारण "मेघ मल्हार" राग अपनी मधुर धुन बजाने लगता है।
इस अदभुत पर्यावरण अनुकूल प्रयास पर ध्यान देते हुए *"गिनीज बुक ऑफ वर्ल्ड रिकॉर्ड्स"* ने कंपनी को प्रशंसा प्रमाण पत्र दिया है। जिसमें इस होर्डिंग को दुनिया का सबसे बेहतरीन, सुंदर व "इको-फ्रेंडली होर्डिंग" घोषित किया गया है। है न भारत के लिए गर्व की बात, तो भारतीय 🇮🇳 होने के नाते आप भी इसे शेयर कीजिये।।

‘टैक्स बचाना है तो शादी कर लो' आप सांसद राघव चड्डा ने संसद में बताया जॉइंट ITR फॉर्मूला

◆ सांसद ने बताया, "इस सिस्टम में अगर पति-पत्नी दोनों कमाते हैं तो उन्हें अलग-अलग टैक्स देने और रिबेट लेने की जरूरत नहीं होगी"

◆ उन्होंने ये भी बताया, "मौजूदा समय में भारत अलग-अलग टैक्स वसूलता है, इसके चलते शादीशुदा पति-पत्नी भी अलग-अलग टैक्स भरते हैं और इनकम टैक्स रिटर्न को फाइल करते हैं
