EXTERNALIZE THE FAILURE!

Does your child always wants to win and cannot accept failure?
Does your child give up at the first sign of failure or complexity?
Does your child find it difficult to try new games or activities?

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT YOUR CHILD MAY HAVE LOW SELF-CONFIDENCE.

One way of helping the child to cope with failure is to EXTERNALIZE the failure. So, what does it mean? When the child fails, we attribute the failure to another person or object and encourage the child to keep trying…

Let us take two examples

1. You are asking your child to throw the ball at a target. You have
10 balls for this task, the balls that hit the target are ‘good’ balls and you keep them aside in a tray. The balls that misses the target are ‘bad’ balls. We repeat the balls as our mission is not to convert them into ‘good’ balls

2. You are asking a child to write within a 2 cm square and the child is finding it difficult. You ask the child to do a Role Play for two people. You can call them Ram and Shyam, Dhoni and Kohli or anybody the child can relate to (let’s call them players)… Choose two different coloured pens / pencils / crayons to make the difference in players obvious. After 5 attempts for each player, we compare and find out who is the best!

The key here is to continue trying and not to play the blame game and stop the task!

Let me know your thoughts on this by likes, comments and shares…

5 Days Video Class on Creating Customized E-Content for Parents & Special Educators

Many times I see parents frustrated in their search for finding the right video in the YouTube or the right mobile app from play store. What follows is a series of installing and uninstalling the app or wasting countless hours in finding the right video on YouTube. Even then, many times it is a compromise as it is either a level above or below the child’s current capabilities.

Vision and hearing contribute to 80% of the information that we receive on a day to day basis. That is one of the reason, children are so addicted to game apps and YouTube videos.
Learning to use a few free and commonly available softwares serves two main purposes
1. You will be able to customize the content according to your child’s unique requirement
2. You will be able to save loads of money from buying expensive softwares.
3. You will save time as well by creating content one time and using it multiple times.

Uses
You can use such content to improve any of the following
• Communication
• Reading skills
• Problem solving
• Behaviour management
• Listening skills
• Attention
• Memory
In fact, the sky is the limit. The only limitation you have is your ideas…

So, what are we going to learn in the 5 days class?
Day 1: How to create visuals for the content using powerpoint
Day 2: How to add customized voice and background music to the content using free software
Day 3: How to use screen recording with your own voice
Day 4: How to create a movie (video file) using movie maker
Day 5: LIVE - How to make it interactive and mobile friendly (touch screen)

What should you expect in the programme?
• You will be sent pre-recorded videos everyday at 12 noon on how to use a particular software.
• You will decide on your own product and start preparing for a presentation on the final day.
• ‘Live’ session on Zoom everyday from 6 pm to 7 pm to address all your queries and practical demonstration
