Do you think a parents behaviour towards their child is reflected on the child’s behaviour towards others?

    Yes it does, because a child learns to look at the world how he's told to look. As he/she in the initial stages of life just take in all the information that's available around him.

    Yes it does, because a child learns to look at the world how he’s told to look. As he/she in the initial stages of life just take in all the information that’s available around him. If he’s treated in a way that conveys the message that he has a unique and special way of looking at the world and that he should cherish that and express as freely as he/she can, the child will grow on to be a confident person who express himself and at the same time accepts others as well.

    But if the childhood is filled with aggression by parents and forced decisions then the person will go on to become like that and have those traumas with rest of his/her life.

    It’s not absolute but it’s mostly how things happen.

    Many students are struggling academically. First, normalize this and accept the child as he/she is. We must build a supportive community and understand that all children are different. Some students might need more innovative strategies, while others might grasp things quickly and learn typically.

    Here are some strategies to develop the interest of students who are not interested in academics:

    • Devising new and innovative methods

    Some students require new and unique strategies to learn. They have a small attention span and deviate easily. Some unique and colorful caricatures can be used to teach them, and videos to make them learn in a fun way.

    • Uplifting students and lending them an ear

    Get to know such students. Talk to them and understand the cause of the problem. It might be that the student is facing some health issue or requires some lifestyle change. Understanding the root cause of why the child isn’t interested in learning or studying is vital to correcting this issue.

    • Making small groups of similar students 

    Teachers and educators can divide the students into small groups, as this facilitates focusing on each student. By doing so, teachers will be able to teach better and analyze the students better. The students who are struggling will automatically level up their efforts.

    As a human, we all possess feelings. Anger is one of them. There are many times when we feel frustrated, anxious, annoyed, etc. and we usually end up getting angry at others. By doing so, we not only hurt others but also feel regret throughout the day. Even this portrait us in bad terms. What we can do in this situation is to process it in some other manner. We can make friendship with a diary, in which we can write every thought of our mind, such that why are we angry, on whom we are angry, how are we feeling, what are our minds up to, etc. It is just burying anger might result in some sort of distress, rather we should process it  in some other way. Nevertheless we cannot write everywhere, all the time. Accordingly, we can distract us from being in that situation, such as back counting from 10 to 9, go out for a walk, meditate for minutes, read a book, talk to our close ones or anything which we find good to do. Sometimes getting angry is also required but, letting it coming over us or affecting us is not acceptable.

    The government of India,under the leadership of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi , declare a national emergency in 1975. The government uses Article 352 of Indian constitution, declaring a threat of internal security.
    The following were the reasons given by the government:

    1) Economic Crisis:  Indo-Pak war of 1971 put a heavy strain on India’s economy. US government also stopped all aid to India Post war. Also the rise in prices of oil and other commodities  caused hardship for economy.
    2) Student’s protest in Gujarat and Bihar: Due to rise in prices and unemployment, the students started an agitation against them. These protests were joined by opposition leaders.
    3) JP Movement and Railway strike: JP Narayan gave a call for total revolution in the social economic and political spheres, in order to establish, what he considered, true democracy. Alongside this, the workers of Railways started a nationwide strike under the leadership of George Fernandes.
    4) Judicial conflicts: Along with the ‘basic structure doctrine’ in Keshavananda Bharti Case, the tussle between judiciary and parliament began. Further, the tensions were ignited with the politically controversial appointment of Justice A.N. Ray as the chief Justice of India.
    5) The verdict of Allahabad High Court: The order came on an election petition filed by Raj Narain, who contested against Indira Gandhi in 1971. The judgement declared that she is no more an MP.

    The above mentioned reasons led to the promulgation of National Emergency in 1975.
    The impacts of this was:

    1. the strikes and Hartals were banned.
    2. the opposition leaders were put in jails.
    3. the government suspended Freedom of Press.
    4. the various Fundamental rights (including Article 14, 19, 21 & 22 ) were suspended.
    5. The government made extensive use of preventive detention.
    6. the government bought in many amendments to the constitution through 42nd and 43rd constitutional amendments.

    The 42nd CAA affected the constitution to the extent that it is called as ‘mini constitution’. During emergency, the election of 1976 were postponed to 1978 and as a result of emergency, Indira Gandhi lost the elections. The new government was formed by Janta Dal and various controversial amendments of 42nd and 43rd CAA were abrogated by 44th CAA.

    They are expensive due to the following reasons:

    1. Higher Labor Costs: Organic farming relies on manual methods for pest control and weed management, increasing labor expenses.

    2. Lower Yields: Organic farms avoid synthetic fertilizers and growth hormones, often resulting in lower crop yields and higher production costs.

    3. Certification Costs: Organic certification requires regular inspections and compliance with strict standards, adding to costs.

    4. Sustainable Practices: Emphasizing eco-friendly methods, organic farming often incurs additional expenses for sustainable practices.

    Making Organic Products Affordable

    1. Buy in Bulk: Purchasing larger quantities can reduce the per-unit cost of organic products.

    2. Seasonal Produce: Buying fruits and vegetables in season can be cheaper due to higher availability.

    3. Local Farmers’ Markets: Shopping locally can provide fresher and sometimes more affordable organic options.

    4. Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA): Joining a CSA program allows for purchasing shares of a farm’s harvest in advance, often at a reduced cost.

    Healthy Living Without High Costs

    1. Whole, Minimally Processed Foods: Prioritize these even if they’re not organic, as they still offer significant health benefits.

    2. Plant-Based Meals: Incorporate more affordable plant-based meals into your diet.

    3. Reduce Food Waste: Plan meals and use leftovers to avoid wasting food and money.

    4. Cook at Home: Preparing meals at home is generally cheaper and healthier than eating out.

    Using these strategies, students and families can maintain a healthy lifestyle without overspending.

    Self-awareness could consider several things in specificity to an individual’s motive, feelings, strengths, and weaknesses. Of course, people do consider it as one of the great values or, at least, as a positive characteristic. One may be able to improve relations with people, achieve effective problem-solving, and bring the needed change in the self. Nonetheless, having too much consciousness about the self is also not devoid of disadvantages.

    On the positive side, self-awareness helps one to moderate his or her emotions and stress reduction in this regard because an individual is well equipped to deal with emotions. Since the social contingent perception of others’ moods is easier when self-consciousness is present, it can similarly increase empathy. Similarly, self-learners are also active and logical and this benefits them at the individual and career levels.

    On the other hand, the amount of self-awareness is toxic because, while it is self-enhancing in moderation, an incredible amount of self-awareness leads to self-criticism and overthinking. Anxiety and low self-esteem are likely to be incurred by those who are constantly assessing their ideas and behaviors. Self-reflectiveness can also result in atomicity where all decisions are delayed by the fear of choosing the wrong decision. Also, rather excessive self-consciousness may lead to excessive cautiousness and eliminates creativity as a result.

    To sum up, self-awareness as a component of the general emotional intelligence needed to become a more effective person is indeed a valuable skill but it needs to be tempered with reason as well. Various negative effects are connected with increased self-consciousness; however, anxiety and hesitation are two of the most significant ones. Thus, I can conclude that if managed properly, self-awareness can be effectively utilized in the same way as it gives benefits without paying attention to the possible deficits.
