Kids becoming gadget freak

Now-a-days kids are becoming more gadget freak as compared to adults. They want to try all the gadgets with latest technology.  Today market is full of electronic stuff and with lots of options. The famous gadgets among kids are ipad, iphone, kinect, xbox or anything with touch screen. Kids love to slide their tiny fingers on touch screens.

My friend gifted her daughter an ipad on her birthday. I had always imagined small girls with Barbie dolls but to see a girl with ipad in her hand was quite a shock. No matter how complicated the technology is,  kids can get hold of anything. Gone are the days when video games used to come in cassettes and were played with remotes. Now the video games are highly sophisticated, they work on motion sensing devices. Wave your hand and the bunny inside the video game will also wave the hand. 8-10 years back it would have looked like a dream but now it is a reality.

I visited croma (electronic items outlet) yesterday and there were lots of kids checking out the latest technologies. They were checking all the gadgets and knew how to use them very well. Today kids have access to all these items and their brains work in a different manner. When we were kids, we were happy with barbies, kitchen sets, tops, badminton etc., but now kids want all the hi-tech and advanced gadgets.

Search “Kids and gadgets” on google and you will find a list of gadgets which a kid must have. Now companies will tell the parents what gadgets their kids must have. Ipad tops this list followed by playstation. Today walkman is replaced with mp3 player or ipod, PC with laptops or ipads and video games with xbox. Parents should keep a check on these gadgets and their impact on kids. Kids should not become dependent on the gadgets and it is the parents’ responsibility to make sure their kids don’t get habitual of these gadgets.

10on10 User’s experience – 3

10on10 has succeeded in strengthening the bond between parents and kids. Parents love to spend time in teaching math to their kids through 10on10 worksheets. 10on10 worksheets have become a synonym for math game to kids. They love them as much as they love games. One of our 10on10 parents contacted the 10on10 customer care and asked if she can have the next month’s worksheet now only. She informed the team that her kid has already finished this month’s worksheets and is asking for more worksheets. It seemed funny but that’s the truth. Kids eagerly wait for the worksheets and love to finish them.

10on10 math program is a fun activity. Kids do not find it boring as studies but playful. They like to learn through various animals and try to solve their problems in the worksheets. One of the 10on10 parents states that, “10on10 worksheets have helped my daughter to understand math in an intuitive manner. She used to cry at the sight of math book but now she is happy to solve her sums and love 10on10 worksheets.”

Kids spend at least 6-7 hours at school and then reach their saturation level. After coming back from school, studying seems like herculean task. But 10on10 math program cannot be compared with normal studying method. It is a 10 minutes fun based activity and kids love fun. They seek for fun in all the activities and dread boring activities. The use of cartoons in worksheets and puzzle created around them makes kids anxious to solve and find out the answers. It gives them a feeling of triumph when they solve the problems, which is missing in other methods of studying.

10on10 math program is an innovative way to teach the numbers to the kids. 10on10 does not use traditional classroom learning styles. Instead, it offers worksheets that are designed to be used at home, based on a “learn by doing” principle.  This is the only math learning program that uses a "paper and pencil" approach to register math concepts at a subconscious level.

Daily learning is more effective

 As the kids start going to school, lifestyle changes completely. The demon of homework, textbooks, exams etc. starts haunting them. Many kids dread going to school as they miss the comfort of home. The burden of studies makes them feel stressful. Especially exam time brings nightmare and make them feel miserable.

Exams have always been the enemy for kids. Exam time can be very torturous for a kid. They need to finish whole syllabus and revise it before taking any exam. All kids go through sleepless nights and loss of appetite. According to a survey most kids were reported sick during exam time. One of the reasons behind this could be lack of proper preparation.

Daily learning can help kids in completing their syllabus on time. Kids should make daily learning as their habit. Research has shown that kids, who learn on a daily basis, do not suffer from stress during exam time. It helps them in time management and make them more disciplined.

10on10 focuses on daily learning. It is an afterschool math program that reinforces your child's math concepts, one day at a time, one worksheet a day at home. With just 10 minutes and one worksheet a day, it guarantees a strong foundation in mathematics through the use of innovatively designed math worksheets.

It covers core math concepts according to the child’s grade. The approach and depth of teaching concepts can differ from prescribed text books or school math classes.  But all concepts and topics necessary for that class are covered and reinforced through worksheets. The end objective of learning concepts at each level is not compromised, although could be different from the school’s or teacher’s approach. Ultimately, 10on10 worksheets cover all the math skills which a child needs for a brighter future.

Do you really wish to be a kid again?

“I wish I were a kid, as then my life would have been so easy”. Most of the adults think like that. They want to be kids again and live a life with no responsibilities. For most office goers the day starts like this,

·         Get up early in the morning and get ready for the office

·         If you are a working woman then prepare breakfast and lunch.

·         Pack your lunch and have breakfast.

·         Leave for the office.

·         Do usual work at the office (Take some tensions, curse office and the colleagues who sabotaged your career, finish all the pending work, get involved in some grapevine communication…….)

·         Leave for home.

·         Prepare and have dinner.

·         Go to bed.

All of the above tasks look like herculean tasks. It feels as if the entire fun element goes away once you grow up. You are barred from committing mistakes and nobody gives a damn to your tantrums. It feels as if the nervous system will break down with all the tensions in the life. And then you secretly wish if you were a kid then all your tensions will go away. But the question is, “Do you really wish to be a kid?”

Let us throw some light on the easy and comfortable life of a kid. They can do whatever they want, get lot s of pampering, throw tantrums and so much. They don’t have to think about career, money, family etc. but themselves. Now let us see how the day of a kid starts:

·         Get up early in the morning and early means way early ( 5 am L)

·         Get ready for the school.

·         Have breakfast and leave for the school.

·         Attend school ( attend morning prayer followed by rigorous exercise, endure boring classes, take surprise tests, celebrate when teacher is on leave or mourn when substitute teacher arrives,….)

·         Leave for home.

·         Go for Karate classes.

·         Leave for home

·         Go for tuition classes

·         Leave for home

·         Go for singing/dancing/swimming/or any classes.

·         Leave for home

·         Complete homework

·         Watch T.V. and switch it off if mom or dad scolds for watching TV and not studying.

·         Study again.

·         Aspire to become a doctor or engineer or architect or anything great and start preparing for that.

·         Have dinner and go to sleep.

Whew!!!! Kids have such an easy life. Well, really???  Today, parents want their kids to be good at everything. They enroll them to various extracurricular activities and expect them to perform brilliantly in everything. Kids have become mechanical now. They live a life full of expectations .They are like robots with a chip which has all the programs encoded and they need to execute all of them successfully.

Now think again if you really wish to be a kid, because you might regret it later.
