Parents and Educators! Please wake up to the new reality. Your guidelines are not going to be \u201c followed\u201d just because you are a parent or an educator.\u00a0 That is not essentially due to a lack of respect. It is because children of today evolve a sense of identity very early on.\u00a0 They are confident, young individuals with a wide variety of knowledge at their fingertips. They question the status quo and are curious about everything around them.\u00a0 Just imagine these young individuals turning into adults and transforming their community, city and world around them with their ability to question, think, act and inspire.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us work with them with these possibilities in mind. To convert these possibilities into a reality, parents and educators have to see themselves as guides, facilitators, mentors and coaches. They can no longer give unilateral instructions and expect children to follow them. It has to be dialogical and facilitative. Give them the context and purpose, they will love to think, act and do.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cJust focus on the possibilities. The limitations will take care of itself.\u201d said someone and I would like to leave all parents and educators to work with children from this space of possibilities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blog by<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5);\">Mathangi Rajasekaran, <\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5);\">HOS, Ekya NICE Road.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI used to follow all the guidelines given by my parents.
