" As you set out for Ithaka hope your road is a long one , full of adventure , full of discovery . Keep Ithaka always in your mind . Arriving there is what you are destined for. But don't hurry the journey at all .Better if it lasts for years , so you are old by the time you reach the island , wealthy with all you have gained on the way "
The poem written with Odysseus in mind is so true of life where as we set out to reach a status in life , but what becomes more important are things we have gained in our quest to get there . Similarly when children set out to learn a certain "something " , the journey to learn that is critical .
The Learning Journey begins with birth . When a child opens his/her eyes and sees the world the process of recognizing faces begins there . Social Smile is considered as the first Mile Stone in a child's development when a child smiles at known faces .
With passage of time child learns many more things .
This learning process or capacity is maximum up to 5 years of age where in a child learns almost every things .
When they start going to school and start learning alphabets and numbers along with rhymes and other activities like drawing and coloring , a new journey begins .
How a little child goes about learning to add two numbers ? For instance 2+3 =5 .
But how did the child get there ?
1.Did we give them the answer helpfully and smilingly ?
2. Did they just hear the answer once , and immediately register it to memory ?
3. Did they see it in a book and write it down 5 times , so it became a fact ?
4. Did they learn to count first , practice it for a couple of months counting anything and every thing they came across .Did they then count 2 and 3 , put it together and arrive at the answer making many mistakes along the way and learning from them ?
Each route created a different type of learner , and certainly the last group of learners would emerge as wisest and most confident , just because their journey has been most meaning and enriching , gaining something at the each step of the way .
For young children , true happiness comes from doing an activity , not completing it and finding an answer . Their focus is clearly on the process and not on the outcome .
Learning always occurs when children engage voluntarily in purposeful activities.
So if we give them series of right tools, they are sure to journey through all areas of learning with great gusto and enjoyment arriving at answers at each stage on their own .
Just as we all have a different journeys running simultaneously all teaching us something different , so also at any point of time , the child not on one particular journey alone .
The child may be at a point where he/she is
* Learning to read 3 letter words
* Becoming familiar with sequence of numbers
* Starting to use 2 hands for some activities
* Becoming aware of cause and effects
Every child is unique in the way they start and move through these journeys . Learning is never a single occurrence , learning even one single concept involves a series of steps .
Every Skola Journey takes children systematically through a series of experiences that are incrementally challenging enabling them to discover and learn something new at each stage .
Every stage is facilitated by a toy playing with which will allow children to challenge themselves in an interesting way .
Instead of pushing kids to learn basics in a way which is not so interesting and is bit boring , Let's explore some interesting ways , the ways which are filled with fun and joy , the ways which kids would love to go and Lets Make this Learning Process a Fun Filled Journey To a New World .
Do Visit Skola Toys to understand children's learning journeys and views toys that facilitate incremental learning .

Happiness is a million dollar thing that does not comes with money or materialistic things but with small things and moments .
One should not wait for a big thing to happen and then be happy , one should try to find happiness in small things of life like spending time with family and friends , playing with kids , going for vacation , pursuing some hobbies etc. As these moments are precious and we cherish them as our fond memories for ever .
In fact one should try to enjoy each and every moment of life , Thanking the Almighty for all good things we got in our lives .
So Staying Happy is the First and Most Important step towards being Healthy .
Because of hectic lifestyle , poor eating habit and high level of stress , People are suffering from various health issues these days , earlier it was after 40 that people used to have high blood pressure or other problems but now a days the young generation even in their 20's are facing these health issues .
So one should analyse and work on factors which effects health :
1.Stress
Stress is the killing factor . It is the root cause of all disease .
People who are hypertensive in nature tends to get stressed over small issues and that effect their health . So being Stress Free is one of the most important step to be healthy.
To be stress free I do following :
* Prayers & Meditations
One really finds peace in connecting with the Almighty . Forgetting all worldly problems and finding peace and solace in prayers and meditation .One gets the moral support that their problems will be solved by Almighty . *Spending Quality Time with my Near and Dear Ones
I love to spend time with my near and dear ones , with my kids , cousins , friends .
On weekends I do visit my parents and relatives house and spend some time there . I go for shopping with my kids so that they can have some good time after a long week of studies and hard work .
When ever I get time I do visit my cousins and friends so that we can have some fun moments and we can enjoy that time which we have taken out from our hectic schedule . *By Bringing Smile on Others Face
In today's world every one has some or the other challenges or issues and depression is a common problem . In India common people do not take any medical help or aid for depression and it kills them from inside . So close family members or friends can really help in such situations .Simply by taking with them or making them feel better , can bring a big difference .
So I always try to solve other's problem in all possible ways so that they feel better and do not get stressed or depressed over small issues .
I am a Good Listener and I do listen to other's problem , to make them feel that I am there to help them out . I do this with all my near and dear ones , including my family members , friends , maids etc . So by bringing smile to other's face I feel happy and satisfied that I am doing something good . * By Preparing some delicious food dishes
I love cooking that too the one which my kids love to eat .
So keep on trying new recipes for my kids and it's like a Stress Buster .
I feel too happy when after little effort and time I could prepare some delicious food dishes .
The smile and happiness on my kids face makes me feel good and happy . *By Blogging
I Love Blogging , it is one of the best thing that happened with me .
After having kids I was looking for some work from home option and I started writing reviews for others and finally started blogging , Writing was my passion since childhood as it is one the best way to express yourself and your feeling to others . By writing review and articles , I could connect with many fellow blogger's and other readers and I earned some name and fame on Social Media along with many Perks and Incentives , So that really made me so happy that I could make an earning with my writing passion .
So one should always follow their passion , Then money and fame follows .
2.Poor Eating Habit
The previous generation was eating healthy as they used to have home made food with no junk food or outside food , but because of the change of lifestyle people are eating outside food frequently without thinking much on the health problems it can cause . The younger generation is addicted to junk foods like Pizza , noodles etc .
This poor eating habit can cause lots of health problems like high blood pressure ( because of high salt ) , high Sugar , allergies (because of artificial colors used ) etc .
So it is much better to eat home made food which are hygienic and good quality ingredients are used with right quantity of salt and sugar in it .
* I eat healthy food , I have made my diet chart and I eat according to my age and weight.
* I eat lots of fruits and vegetables as they are good for health .
* I eat lots of nuts specially Almonds as it has lots of health benefits .
* I have included Olive oil in my cooking as it's too good for health .
* I prefer baking then frying so to avoid excess oil from my food .
* I use low sodium salt which is better than normal salt and I use Stevia leaves and natural sweetners in place of white sugar in my diet .
* I drink Green tea as its healthier than normal tea .
* I avoid outside food as much as possible , stick to home made ones .
So by bringing these small changes in my eating habit I have taken a big step towards healthy life style .
3.Poor and Sedentary Life Style
Earlier people used to walk a mile to reach a destination , then it was cycling , both of which were good form of exercise but now its vehicles like scooter , car , buses etc .
People use vehicles even for small distance and then lifts in place of stairs , so literally no physical activity , on the top of it spending hours in front of television or getting addicted to some gadgets like smartphones or laptops . Because of this sedentary life style also people are having many health problems specially weight gain and low stamina .
So one needs to do some or the other exercise to be fit and healthy .
If visiting a gym is not possible one can do some simple exercise at home or one can simply go for a long walk .
* Inspite of having a hectic routine I try to go for a walk daily in a near by park .
* I prefer walking rather than taking vehicle to go to near by places .
So staying healthy is not as difficult as it seems . One can take some small steps , bring few small changes in their life style and be active and healthy .
One can check this video from Saffola which beautifully depicts " How one can find ways to stay fit and healthy "

Hello Everyone
Today I am going to discuss and share my views on a very important topic ,
it's How to Control Gadget Addiction in Kids .
Parenting in Digital age is too tough .
In our times we used to spend lots of time outdoors , playing with friends , playing lots of outdoor games like badminton, throw ball , cycling , running etc but now a days kids spend less time outside .
Because in the change in lifestyle and burden of home works they spend more time indoor and ultimately they are hooked either to television or some gadgets like smart phones or iPad etc .
Parents are increasingly concerned that screen time is robbing them off real world experience .
Apart from having health issues we are also concerned about child safety because of the numerous online frauds and crimes .
So we need to find some ways to reduce this gadget addiction in kids .
*They should be encouraged to make friends in neigborhood and play with kids of their age .
*They should be encouraged to play lots of outdoor games when ever possible .
*At home also we should try to engage them in some creative activities like Drawing , Painting , other Art & Craft activities etc.
*We should give them some good toys ( specially learning ones ) to keep them engaged in their free time and also it would help them to learn new things .
Now a days market is flooded with toys of all kind .
Staring from top international brands to local ones ,we have everything in all price range.
The expensive ones as well as the cheap ones .
Now buying a toy for your kid is not as simple as it looks .
We need to research few thing ( which usually we don't do )
* Quality of toy
When we are giving our kids some toys , we should be sure of its quality as cheap ones can cause health hazards because of chemicals and paints in it .
*Does it contains battery or not
Many toys have batteries in it , which means it contains chemicals like Zinc Chloride , Lithium etc .
So it's unsafe to make small kids play with these ( Swallowing a battery can be Fatal ) .
* Does it have very small pieces which a small kid can swallow
Some of the plastic toys have very small pieces which can cause choking hazard .
* Edges are smooth or not
Many toys do not have very smooth edges which can hurt a child , better not to buy such toys .
Wooden Toys are a Great option for our kids.
They are much better than Plastic & Metal Toys because :
1.There is much less chemical toxicity in wooden toys .
2.They are made of natural material and are safer .
3.Wood has an interesting texture and wooden toys are smooth .
4.They are environmental friendly .
5.They can be used for a longer time than plastic toys as they do not break easily .
6. Many wooden toys are also learning toys so can be easily given to small kids & toddlers .
So Lets explore some Wooden Toys .
Today I will be Introducing a Toy Brand which has unique range of learning toys for children between the age group of 1 to 8 years .
It's Skola Toys .
It's an Indian brand , once can check the Facebook page of this brand here Skola Toys on FB
