Early Graders

Let’s value them! No caption needed!

Some amazing facts, our children must take part in researching this kind of history 🙂

1. Pyramids are not tombs; no mummy has ever been found inside the pyramid. All mummies were found in the kings valley.

2. How the hell do you cut 20 ton blocks of granite with extreme precision and lift them one on top of the other, in the "king's chamber", with WOODEN RAMPS !!

3. Let's say wooden ramps were used; you need to cut down a whole forest in order to provide wood to move 2.3 MILLION blocks of huge stones. Where the hell is the evidence for that wood?

4. There is not a single hieroglyphic text that says ancient Egyptians built the pyramids.

5. How many "slaves" or workers do you need to quarry, cut and lift 2.3 MILLION stones? Where the hell do you find people who can laser cut and lift huge tons of granite?

6. How do you position the whole pyramid to face true north, 4000 years ago when the builders didn't know about the WHEEL?

7. The top of the pyramid is a quarter of an inch off center (base of the pyramid); that's after placing 2.3 million blocks of stone. When you divide that tiny margin of error by 2.3 million stones, the accuracy at which the stones were placed is unparalleled and has never been done by modern architects with all modern technology.

Conclusion: 90% of Human history was buried by time, the other 10% is written by the victors.

NO it's not aliens. Just Advanced Ancient Human Tech.

Al-Biruni: The forgotten genius who measured the Earth

Al-Biruni (about 1,000 years ago) measured📏📐 the circumference of the Earth🌍 with an accuracy of 99.7% compared to today’s accepted value.

Al-Biruni was a Persian polymath who lived from 973 to 1048. He was a scholar of many fields, including astronomy, mathematics, geography, physics, and history.

In 1030, al-Biruni used trigonometry to measure the circumference of the Earth. His estimate was 6339.6 kilometers, which is within 0.3% of the modern accepted value of 6378.1 kilometers.

Al-Biruni's method was based on the principle that the Earth's curvature causes the horizon to appear lower from a mountaintop than it does from sea level. He measured the angle between the horizon and a plumb line at two different locations, and used this information to calculate the Earth's radius.

Al-Biruni's measurement of the Earth's circumference was one of the most accurate of its time. It was not surpassed until the 17th century, when the French mathematician and astronomer Jean Picard used a more precise method to measure the Earth's circumference.

Hye dear parents, being a parent it's really biggest job of us to take care of child, what he/she is doing, how he/she is behaving? Does he/she make friends? How's his/her social skills? Are they showing disruptive behaviors in social setting like you are getting complains a lot from other people "kai apka bacha boht bdtameez hai, baat nh maanta, agey sai zaban chlata hai" and etc. It's really exasperated to beat and scream to child every time. In the end You feel exhausted and helpless. I understand, let me help you:

The kind of these munchkin, just need a bit parents' effort to behave appropriately. Believe me, they feel helpless too in the matter of behaviors. So, your child is suffering from ODD (oppositional defiant disorder) if showing following symptoms in his\her daily activities.

To be diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), a child must have a pattern of angry and cranky moods, along with negative, defiant behavior that upsets other people.

The child must also have at least 4 symptoms from the following list. They:

lose their temper

Endless argue with adults/ authority figure

actively refuse to do what adults ask and disobey rules.

often deliberately annoy people.

often blame others for mistakes or challenging behavior

are easily annoyed by others

are often nasty or unkind.

Duration: for at least 6 months, most of the days of 6 months

It can develop during pre -school/ early elementary school / early adolescence .

It can develop after age 4 till age 18.

The purpose of the individual to create conflict with adults/authority figure not to physically harm any animal, People and society norms.

The causes that have seen of ODD are having poor frustration tolerance, high level of emotional reactivity, neglect during childhood (2- 9), inconsistent parenting, poverty and environmental stressor.

Of note, if behavioral issues occurring rarely then it's utterly normal but if you are getting complains and notice the disruptive behavior in every 2 to 3 days then your child can fall in oppositional defiant disorder.

What should do as a parent:

Here are strategies for working on your child’s ODD behavior at home:

Use specific praise to encourage positive behavior – for example, ‘It was really helpful when you put your plate on the bench’.

Look at using a structured reward system like a reward chart. These work especially well for children aged 3-8 years.

Give short, clear and specific instructions – for example, ‘Please put the dishes in the sink’.

Give choices about when your child can do tasks, not whether your child will do them – for example, ‘Would you like to do your homework now, or after the next TV show?’

Follow up on challenging behavior straight away. For example, if your child doesn’t do what you ask, ask again and say, ‘This is the last time I am going to ask you’. If your child still doesn’t cooperate, you could use a consequence like loss of privilege.

Use consequences in the same way and for the same behavior every time. This means your child knows what to expect. For example, you might always use a time-out for hitting.

Acknowledge your child’s strong emotions and let them know you’re there to listen and help. For example, ‘I understand you’re feeling angry. Do you want to talk about it?’

For these strategies to help your child, it’s important to use them consistently. But this can take patience and practice, and it can be challenging if your child opposes them. You can ask your child’s psychologist for help or for other strategies you can try.

If you're concerned about your child's behavior, talk to your child's doctor or a mental health professional, such as a child psychiatrist or psychologist or a child behavioral specialist.

Last but not least, take care of yourselves because your health matters too.
THANKS!

2. Be consistent: Consistency is key to authoritative parenting. Apply rules consistently and enforce consequences when necessary. This helps children understand the boundaries and promotes a sense of security.

3. Provide reasoning and explanations: Unlike authoritarian parenting, which relies on strict obedience without explanation, authoritative parenting involves providing reasoning and explanations for rules and decisions. Help your children understand the logic behind your expectations, which encourages their understanding and cooperation.

4. Encourage independence and responsibility: Foster your children's independence by giving them age-appropriate responsibilities and tasks. Encourage them to make decisions and solve problems on their own, while providing guidance and support when needed.

5. Active listening and empathy: Take the time to listen to your children's thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Show empathy and understanding, even if you don't agree with them. This helps build trust and open communication channels between you and your children.

6. Balance warmth and discipline: Authoritative parents combine warmth and nurturing with setting clear boundaries. Show love, affection, and support towards your children while also maintaining discipline and enforcing rules when necessary.

7. Be a role model: Children learn a great deal from observing their parents' behavior. Model the behavior and values you want to instill in your children. Show them how to handle challenges, communicate effectively, and display respect towards others.

8. Encourage open communication: Create a safe and non-judgmental environment where your children feel comfortable expressing themselves. Encourage open communication by actively listening, validating their feelings, and engaging in meaningful conversations.

9. Encourage problem-solving and decision-making: Instead of always providing solutions, encourage your children to think critically and find their own solutions to problems. This helps develop their decision-making skills and promotes independence.

10. Balance structure with flexibility: While having a structured routine and rules is important, allow room for flexibility and adaptability. Understand that your children are individuals with their own needs and preferences, and be open to negotiation and compromise when appropriate.

Remember, authoritative parenting is about finding a balance between being firm and supportive. Every child and family is unique, so feel free to adapt these tips to your specific circumstances.
Thanks!

Authoritative parenting: ( the healthiest style of parenting)
Authoritative parenting is a style characterized by a balance of warmth, responsiveness, and appropriate discipline. Parents who adopt an authoritative approach are highly involved in their children's lives, setting clear expectations and guidelines while also being supportive and nurturing.

Authoritative parents provide structure and rules but are willing to explain the reasoning behind them. They encourage independence and decision-making skills, allowing their children to express their opinions and ideas. However, they also maintain high expectations for behavior and academic achievement.

Communication in authoritative parenting is open and two-way, with parents actively listening to their children's concerns and thoughts. They offer guidance and constructive feedback, fostering a sense of mutual respect and understanding. Discipline is consistent and fair, aiming to teach lessons and promote self-control rather than relying on punishment.

This parenting style tends to produce children who are self-reliant, socially competent, and have a strong sense of self-esteem. They are more likely to excel academically, have healthier relationships, and demonstrate responsible behavior.
