GEMi Learning Space

At GEMi, we emphasize on all forms of communication. Why? Because we believe in expressiveness - we want to know how a child feels, thinks and what their beliefs are.

Some parents may ask their child general questions like “how was your day?” From this it is hard for parents to gather details about how their day went.

Instead, parents can incorporate growth mindset questions during their conversations on a daily basis! This helps parents to gain a better understanding of their child’s overall thoughts and feelings.

Developing healthy minds help children to realise their fullest potential, maintain positive relationships and deal with life’s obstacles!

🎉 Celebrate their small achievements

Acknowledging your child’s efforts through praise, a simple hi-5 or hug, helps them to learn the significance of their achievement and makes them feel supported. This also builds their confidence and self-esteem!

💪🏻 Support and encourage their curiosity

Identify your child’s interests and encourage them. For example, if they show an interest in music, listen to music with them or make an instrument together! Children are also naturally curious. Answer their questions in a clear and concise manner according to their development. Before answering, prompt by asking them what their thoughts are.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Have a self-care day together

Like adults, practicing self-care gives children a break from their daily routines, to take care of their mental, emotional and physical health. What can you do with your child? Practice yoga, discuss about emotions, encourage a healthy lifestyle, spending quality time together doing something you both enjoy or head outdoors to explore!

🥰 Learn their love language (and act on it)!

Do you know that children express or experience love and affection in different ways? To identify your child’s main love language, pay attention to how they show you love. They may enjoy hugs, saying "I love you", spending quality time together, receiving gifts or services.
Here are only some of the ways you can connect with your child based on their love language. There are also many other ways you can do so!

💫 Help your child set realistic goals

It is important for your child to understand and learn the skill of goal-setting, which teaches them to take responsibility of their own behaviour and learning!
Here’s how you can discuss goal-setting with them:
1. Let them choose their ultimate goal.
2. Discuss the purpose of their goal.
3. Break the big goal into smaller, achievable steps.
4. Encourage them to plan for potential obstacles along the way.

Changing the way you think can change the way you learn!

Cultivating a growth mindset helps a child embrace and view obstacles with enthusiasm. Often times, children may feel defeated when faced with new challenges. Adopting a growth mindset builds their resilience and perseverance!

Take the first step by changing perspectives - move negative thoughts to more positive ones.

How can you encourage this?
• Praise the process
• Use positive reinforcement
• Reframe the meaning of mistakes & failures
• Promote & practice positive self-talk

Getting children to reflect on their thinking can help to foster a growth mindset 🌻

School is just around the corner!

Here are some friendly reminders for you or your child to start the school term on a positive note! ✨

Remember that school is not only just about studying and getting good grades - it is also important to understand the reasons behind why you are learning, how it can help in your personal growth and achieving your future goals. It is a journey that should be enjoyed and embraced.

Take deep breaths, you can do it! 👏🏻

Communication is key ✨ It is important to nurture your child’s communication skills during their development, to guide them in expressing themselves efficiently.

Daily interactions and conversations are useful in building their social, interpersonal and communication skills. The ability to communicate effectively is a key skill - a child who excels in communicating verbally tends to find written communications and assignments easier. This also builds the child’s confidence in speaking, increasing their willingness to verbalize thoughts or opinions.

Encouraging effective communication with your child helps foster mutual understanding and prevents potential misunderstandings.

All it takes is the first step! Here are some ways you can initiate meaningful conversations with your child 💕

All our activities were thoughtfully planned to help young learners recognize their thoughts, emotions, actions and how to react in positive ways 🤍

“Education begins the moment we see children as innately wise and capable beings. Only then we can play along in their world.”

We believe in relating with our learners. Open and honest communication is KEY.

All opinions, thoughts and feelings are valued and never dismissed. When we are able to communicate effectively with learners, they will realise that learning has a purpose and it is not that difficult afterall.
