I like the one that encourages reading. 🙂

That movie sounds beautiful. Your review makes me feel like I’ve already seen it. I got wrapped up with the boy as soon as you began to tell his story and was so happy when you said he met a teacher! Also, I’m a fan of Aamir Khan. 🙂

I checked and it’s not in the Netflix online video streaming, so I have to see if I can find it elsewhere on the Internet.

Indeed it is a great movie as it conveys a great message.

Yes, it is a good movie that I have seen once in my life. What I learn from the movie I describe in simple words for my readers sake so that they could read its summery.

shaan Awasthi is an eight-year-old whose world is filled with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate; colours, fish, dogs and kites are just not important in the world of adults, who are much more interested in things like homework, marks and neatness. And Ishaan just cannot seem to get anything right in class.

When he gets into far more trouble than his parents can handle, he is packed off to a boarding school to ‘be disciplined’. Things are no different at his new school, and Ishaan has to contend with the added trauma of separation from his family. One day a new art teacher bursts onto the scene, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who infects the students with joy and optimism.

He breaks all the rules of ‘how things are done’ by asking them to think, dream and imagine, and all the children respond with enthusiasm, all except Ishaan. Nikumbh soon realizes that Ishaan is very unhappy, and he sets out to discover why. With time, patience and care, he ultimately helps Ishaan find himself.

Stealing is a bad thing and if not stopped early could lead to very bad behaviour later it becomes a habit. When stealing becomes a habit it’s very dangerous because at this point a child could do anything or take anything in order to fulfil his needs. Regardless of what they know about stealing nothing would stop them. So I feel a child should be taught at 4am early age that stealing is bad and that there are consequences that follow that way he or she will be well informed and wouldn’t steal anyone’s thing.

This is what we call kleptomania. Stealing the items belonging to others is a bad habit. The children should be taught and can be about it without any physical punishment. Taking them to the neighbour’s house and allowing them to move with others will expose them to the different surroundings. This is a teaching which the parents do not do. Observe their movements with others and if they do wrong just tell them that it is wrong to do so. This action needs a lot of patience and tact.

I am currently serving a stint as a teacher and have encountered these experiences on a recurrent basis. Stealing can be caused by no more than our old sinful nature no matter the circumstances. Some kids steal out of the fun of it, the danger of being discovered. Others do it for secondary purposes like sadism. It appears that in every society, some people steal some of the time. I have discovered that the children most likely to steal are neer do wells and they tend to have resentment yelling up in them due to the constant bashing and scolding by the parents and teachers. So the society has to examine the whole issue of rewarding performance, a paradigm shift should occur in which people concentrate on the child’s strengths not weaknesses. The best punishment should involve lecturing the child by placing him or her in the footsteps of the one who has suffered material loss using one of their possessions as an illustration. This approach has seen of change some children. Its the best time to pull them off the brink.

That is a lot of reason why children why children tend to steal something but the numerator are the parents that should guiding their kids to a good and moral character. Just lately in our town, some kids were caught stealing junk foods in their school. The parents were given notice to come to school.

Cricket is a game that I used to play me and my friends back in the days but we called it something totaly different but played th3 same way. We used yo call it rounders. It used to be very interesting back then,but as we grew up th3 interest started fading away. Right now I hardly sit down to even watch a game because I find it boring.

Now with all new formats like T20 and leagues tournaments Cricket has become now aggresive sports. In past with test cricket there was slow game. But now it has become more entertaining game. Now there is no more slow cricket like it used to be in past. I am not saying that past cricket wasn’t good, it was having its own class. But now lots of things has been changed in compare to past.

The game of cricket is these getting popularity among the youths all over the world. In the days gone by people enjoyed the test , after this one day international and now the new format T20 appears in the surface of cricket world and got popularity all over the world.

Twenty20. … Twenty20 cricket, sometimes written Twenty-20, and often abbreviated to T20, is a short form of cricket. At the professional level, it was originally introduced by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in 2003 for the inter-county competition in England and Wales.

T20 Cricket was formally introduced to the world in 2003, when ECB launched the Twenty20 Cup, along with slogan “I don’t like cricket, I love it”. The same year, the first Twenty20 cricket tournament was organized in England, with various county cricket teams.

The tournament proved to be a success, with thousands of spectators filling the England’s cricket stadiums, a first in many decades. Soon, other cricket playing nations of the world also started to take notice of Twenty20 cricket.

Soon after the first Twenty20 cricket tournament was played and became overnight success, South Africa, Australia and the West Indies also organized similar tournaments, which again attracted huge cricket audience.

In the year 2005, history was created, when Twenty20 cricket made its international debut, with the first T20 International being played, between Australia and New Zealand at Eden Park. As the popularity of the new form of cricket started rising, surpassing that of even ODIs and Tests, the game was taken more seriously

No…sorry. I do not like eating crabs. Whenever I see any dish made of Crabs I literally go away from it for the psychological reasons.

Reaching out is something that anyone would do if they wanted to. It’s just that there ar3 people who think that money is everything but it’s not. I particularly disagree with the people who always think that needy people just need money to survive, but the truth is that all that need sometimes is just to have someone to hug them or hold their hand, and that’s it. Others usually just want that company to feel like they belong, but we sometimes are so full of ourselves that we don’t notice this little things. Time is very important just taking the time to be with someone and do something with them is better than sending dozens of gifts or loads of money, all that will someday get finished, but the friendship that is born between two people in a few minutes can last a lifetime and that’s all that counts.

Beautifully written. I agree 100% with everything you have said here. If a person does a good deed with expectation of return he is not doing a good deed but business and there are so many ways to be kind and bring a difference in lives of other people.

Yum! This salad is loaded with all kinds of good stuff! 🙂

I have my own personal beliefs on reprending my children. I believe that explaining why they are being punished is helpful. Letting your child know why they are being punished and know right from wrong is .y go to. As a last resort will I spank. If it is an on going thing and they know they should not be doing it. I would rather try to get the message across in a non physical manner than resort to a spanning.

It is very necessary how else would they know that they are doing something wrong. Scolding or talking to them will not solve th3 problem because they will eventually get used to that and get worse on their mistakes, but canning or punishments who would want to get used to such life? I believe there is no one who would want that. Back in th3 days I won’t say that we were beaten thoroughly but punches were th3 order of the day, none of us wanted to cross my mum’s path or my dad’s path in the wrong way coz we knew what would follow was not so good. So it was upto is to decide do we want punishments of about them, we all used to try and avoid any trouble with our parents. I guess we were good kids when we grew up coz we hardly got beatings out parents brought us up well. And again it’s not only the parents who taught you manners grandparents also had a part to play, so we had no room to be rude to anyone else you would have to deal with the whole community. For me yes I would spank my child when he/she becomes unruly teaches them to behave like the saying goes spare the rod and spoil the child.

I think the best way to reprimand children is to talk to them like adults. I believe it works. Teaching them what is good and what is good through discussion is the best way. What is more important is to train them through our actions and in-actions. We should always bare it in our minds that whatever we do they will surely emulate us.

I think that punishment is must for children because evil spirit enters into the children mind and compel them to make mischief as I have read in all holy books and the the Mischief of the Spirit.

But some parents are opposite to my view and want to talk children like an adult is not a positive approach to mend the naughty children at home and out of home.

Psychologist say about children punishment in these words….
Parents should avoid physical punishment. If they find themselves using it, then something is wrong and their method of discipline is not working. They may as well admit that spanking is more effective in relieving the parents’ frustration than in teaching the child self-control. More effective methods are needed.

Punishment by itself doesn’t really work. It teaches children only what they shouldn’t do. It doesn’t guide them towards what they should do, so it doesn’t work in changing their behaviour. It might also have negative long-term effects on children.

In families where parents yell, threaten and punish children, children often keep behaving in challenging ways.

What does work?
Linking the punishment, or negative consequence, to your child’s behaviour and showing your child how you’d like her to behave will help in improving her behaviour. For example, if your child takes a biscuit without asking, she might have to practise asking for the biscuit using her manners.

Punishment also works better when you balance punishment with praise and rewards for good behaviour.

Praise and rewards for good behaviour teaches your child what to do and how to behave – for example, ‘Good listening, Callum’. And when your child gets praise for behaving well, he’s likely to want to keep behaving that way. This means you probably won’t need to use negative consequences or punishment as much.

Also, your child needs a warm and loving family environment to grow and develop. She needs you to guide her with family rules and to let her know what behaviour you expect from her. A key way to do this is by talking and listening to your child
