EAT MOVE AND WIN! WITH GLEEFUL HEARTS, SPREAD YOUR WINGS!
IT ALL STARTS WITH A NUTRITIOUS BREAKFAST
Post pandemic eating habits amidst children have significantly got altered. In the hustle and bustle of our busy lives schedule, we may have observed most of the kids these days have become fussier, demanding and attention seekers. However, regardless of how much fuss the kids make especially when it comes to their eating habits, parents should always focus on serving a plate full of right nutrition to their kids so that they remain in the pink of health. It is quite relatable for every parent when mornings are always rushed and children feel the stress of the rush as much as they do. So, in order to avoid this bedlam, we must reorganize our morning schedules making their day more productive and pleasurable.
With that being said, we, at Manav Sthali Global School, will be accentuating the breakfast basics that all parents need to be well aware of.
What makes breakfast so important for kids?
The brain needs a constant supply of nutrients to understand and remember information. In other words, it is the ‘Powerhouse of the Body’ that needs to be well fed in order to learn and acquire knowledge. One of the foremost reasons why kids need to have a proper breakfast every day is because it refills the energy reserve of their bodies furthermore, keeping their body weight also in check. In fact, kids who skip breakfast and come to school with either empty stomach or even with a glass of milk end up facing problems like stomach ache and vomiting.
The chief reasons why children don’t eat breakfast are
- In many households, children leave for school much before their parents leave for their work. They have to eat in a hurry – often amid bellowing from their parents to eat faster. This is certainly not the most conducive of environments as it not only creates anxiety in their minds but also makes them lose their appetite.
- Children do not empty their bowels before they leave for school. This is also the main reason why children are not hungry for breakfast in the morning. The parents should ensure that their child wakes up with enough time in hand to use the washroom. They should be consistently encouraged by their parents to do that every day as a morning regimen.
- Serve a wholesome breakfast that can be quickly eaten in a few bites. Breakfast for children should be planned in advance and put together such that several nutrients can be combined together in a single small dish that does not require too much chewing.
What to give the kids for breakfast?
The aim should be to ensure that kids get enough calcium, protein and other vital nutrients through their breakfast. So, it’s better to choose breakfast foods like Wheat Bran Pancakes, Oats Idli, Ragi Upma, Chocolate Muesli, Cereal and Apple Porridge, Banana and Peanut Butter Smoothie and many more that are quick, easy, filling and most notably delicious.
Not to forget, make sure to never have junk food as a breakfast option on the table because those high-salt and high-fat permeated meals will do more harm than good to the small kids. If the kids insist for fancy foods like pasta or even a burger in the morning, accordingly plan in advance and make a healthy version at home instead of relying on ready to serve products.
Even better, take them to the nearest grocery store with you and let them explore few healthy breakfast foods that may sound tempting to them. You can also opt for an option where you can ask your child each night before their bedtime of what they would like to have for their breakfast the following morning which could help you in planning things in advance.
Just remember the bond between you and your child can be made stronger with these habits that can be easily incorporated into your everyday routine – including breakfast at a leisurely pace!!
‘Learning gives creativity, creativity leads to thinking, thinking provides knowledge, knowledge makes you great.’
Creativity is the use of imagination or original ideas to create something. All human beings possess creative ideas that can help to make wise decisions. With the advent of the internet, tablets, smart watches, smart phones, and many more gadgets life has become very comfortable for mankind. But as we all know excess of everything is terrible. Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master. The internet is a basic necessity these days. We have easy access to myriad of information. Every answer is a just a one- click away. But what is this easy access to information doing to our creative abilities?
These time saver and alternative techniques are a hindrance to our originality and expression. Some of the information we find on the internet is not reliable.
Today, especially the youth, spend prolonged hours scrolling through social media feeds and unnecessary stuff just to flaunt or show off which actually deprives them of engaging in more creative activities. We must not erode our creativity by becoming slaves to these technical devices rather we should keep our mobile phones at arm’s length, be resourceful, look at the world through fresh eyes by being observant and drawing our own conclusions for a reliable learning experience.
After the daily prayers and exercises mornings at Manav Sthali Global School commence with moments of warmth and togetherness enveloped with pleasant and friendly interactions that take place between teachers and students. Throughout the day children get engaged in vistas of sensory, craft and other enriching activities that are needed to fully capture their inquisitiveness thus creating a joyful learning experience for them.
The latter half of the day still continues with added positive and happy learnings where children further develop their gross cognitive and motor skills to freely explore, handle, investigate and experience real authentic treasures of schooling. Finally, comes the dispersal time where children get ready for home to share their most enjoyable and special moments of the day with their parents and families.
You can also find out more about what all these activities look like by visiting our School Facebook and Instagram pages.
You are most welcome to visit the school with your child to have an informal discussion. This can be done by fixing a prior appointment through mail at manavsthaliglobalschool@gmail.com or manavds@yahoo.co.in. The school office will give a detailed information about the school, methodology, facilities, curriculum, pedagogy and guide you with all the allied concerns.
All parents dream of establishing their children as a unique personality amongst the masses. To do so, they admit their children to preschools, forgetting the basic and vital consideration of steadfast, dedicated and trained teachers.
Bringing forth a legacy of experience and a team of trained professional staff members; Manav Sthali Global School is one of the few schools located in the heart of Central Delhi to offer an International Early Years Curriculum, which is focused on kindling children’s curiosity and providing a natural headway throughout the primary years and beyond!!
Entailed with an international benchmark timely workshops and webinars are organized for the teachers to enhance their knowledge and update their whip hand skills by keyboarding the latest techniques and methods related to their respective fields.
With the evolution of interesting possibilities emerging in today’s modern era Manav Sthali Global School has always supported the unified combination of modernity and moral ethics. It is well known to everyone that imagination is an extension of reason, an ability that allows any child to plunge in a world of new opportunities. Very often, the spirited imagination of children becomes the stepping-stone to the world of knowledge. When children are permitted to imagine, ideas and thoughts turn into reality, thus, making learning a lifelong process.
MSGS holds the view that one way to support a child’s sociability and friendship is to create “Playdates” among kids. From crafts to activities, there are so many fun things to do on a playdate covered right here! Nothing is more charming than wide-eyed, chubby-cheeked tiny tots where the teachers let these little learners loose themselves in the world of fantasy; playing their favourite games and other free activities, like story sessions, drawing, painting and unstructured toy-time, tattoo crafting and much more. One such playdate ‘WINTERLAND’ was organised and hosted by our school for the kids in the age group of 3-5 years. This play date acted as an encouraging prelude to formal schooling, where not only the kids but also the parents, all collectively had a ball together, finally marking the day – as a super and memorable event in the school’s memorabilia!
