CHILD DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY

Acquittal Principles vs Maquital Principles

According to a recent study by Workman Teachers Volunteer on the effect of words to a child education development

There are two psychological syndrome found to be responsible for child academic performances: the acquittal effect and maquital effect.

The acquittal principles says that when a child's mind is redirected by higher expectation, it leads to an improved performance and thus when words like....

You are brilliant
You can do better
You are not lazy
You are a good child
You like to study
You can improve
You don't steal nor lie
You are going to be great are constantly used on a child,

the mind effect of that child doubles its intellectual reception factors and the child performance keeps improving

but this is however not so with the maquital principles which says that when a child is pricked with lower expectation, the performance of the child drops to the extent of their psychological trauma.

Bad words,such as...

You are from a single parent
You are dull
You lack parental care
you are not a bookworm
You are a bad child

does not help a child to learn and shouting on a child hinders their potential intellectual growth tendencies.

The obvious summary of acquittal and maquital principles is that,the state of self esteem,self worth and self perception of a child is built by words whether to the negative or to the positive

Parent, teachers and guardians have been adviced to help improve on their children/wards academic performance by redirecting their minds with influential words as this was seen lacking in many children during this research expedition across different schools and in that of under aged communities.

*Math phobia: Causes and remedies*

Mathematics, for many students, is no less furious than a demon. Many students feel sleepy as soon as they open the Mathematics book. Their score in mathematics is very less. They just give up saying that they can’t do it. Unfortunately, math avoidance leads to less competency, exposure and math practice, leaving students more anxious and mathematically unprepared to realize learning goals. This results in Math phobia.

Math Phobia may be a feeling of tension, apprehension, or fear that interferes with math performance. An individual with math phobia doesn’t necessarily lack ability in mathematics; rather, s/he can’t perform to her/his full potential thanks to the interfering symptoms of anxiety.

Causes
Math phobia, to some researchers, is gained—not from personal experience but from parents and teachers. When parents with high math anxiety try to help their children with their homework, they unintentionally convey the idea that math is difficult and anxiety-provoking.

Students often develop math phobia in schools, as a result of learning from teachers who are themselves suffering from math phobia. Such teachers usually fall back to teaching exclusively from the textbook, relying on memorizing facts, and employing only drill and practice to reinforce the lesson.

Research confirms that the pressure of examinations and tests and risk of public embarrassment are the main sources of unproductive tension among many students. Three practices that are part of the normal mathematics classroom and cause great anxiety in many students are imposed authority, dissemination and time deadlines.

Math is typically taught as a right and wrong subject. Teachers expect a fixed answer from the students and some times this rigidity is so high that students have no freedom to express in their own way. This leads to the rote method of learning which has been proven outdated by psychologists.

*Science behind the benefits of Hugging Your child.*

The importance of hugging your child cannot be underestimated. Hugging provides many benefits to people, but is particularly important in child development. Let’s discover the science behind the benefits of hugging.

Hugging makes us feel good, no doubt.
When we are sad or disappointed, a big warm cuddle can alleviate some of the pain. When we are happy, we want to share the joy by giving others a bear hug. So we intuitively know that hugs are good.
But there are other benefits besides feeling warm and fuzzy.
Turns out there are important scientific reasons why hugs are good for you and your child. A 20 second hug can help your kid grow smarter, healthier, happier, more resilient and closer to you.
Let’s look at the science of hugging.

*1.HUGS HELP KIDS GROW SMARTER*

Human touches are essential to brain growth.
A young child needs a lot of
different sensory stimulation for normal development. Skin contact, or physical touch such as hugging, is one of the most important stimulation required to grow a healthy brain and a strong body​.
In Eastern European orphanages, infants are rarely handled or touched. They often spend 22 to 23 hours of the days in their cribs. Propped bottles are used to feed them and care is routinized with minimal human interaction. These children often face many issues including impaired cognitive development​ and delayed motor skills development​.

In a study published in the Genetic Psychology Monographs, researchers found that institutionalized infants who received hugs for an additional 20 min of tactile stimulation (touch) per day for 10 weeks scored higher in developmental assessments than those who didn’t​. They also found that not all types of touch were beneficial. Only a nurturing touch such as gentle hugging can provide the type of positive stimulation a young brain needs to grow healthily.

REASONS CHILDREN CHEAT IN MATHEMATICS EXAMINATION

Mathematics poses as a threat to many children and this has elicited the rate of Mathematics examination malpractice.

The truth is; there is no smoke without fire. We have to blame ourselves as their parents, Maths teachers or school proprietors.

We have failed to expose these children to the following:
👉🏿 Mathematics Vocabularies and Nomenclature
👉🏿 Mathematics Creative Therapies
👉🏿 Mathematics Transconnections
👉🏿 Mathematics Analysis and Manipulation Skills
👉🏿 Mathematics Memory Fixture Strategies
👉🏿 Mathematics Tools and Techniques
👉🏿 Mathematics Translators

As a Maths coach, never enter a class to teach with a cane. It is a factor that promotes Mathematics threat. It shortens the assimilation power of a child.
