Today’s children are preparing to become tomorrow’s adult citizens. The growth runs parallel to the future of our country, which is reflected in the quality of the current education system. A school must pique the curiosity of young, impressionable minds and equip them with tools to become better people. It Is widely accepted that the learning process plays a key role in shaping personality and dealing with life situations. The shift in thought from book knowledge to life knowledge in schools has produced a sea of ​​change. People have come to terms with the fact that education is the key to well-rounded development and not just a means of earning degrees and monetary success in life. Education must facilitate the cultivation of a healthy thought process and enhance our cognitive abilities. In today’s competitive world, education after food, clothing and shelter is a basic necessity for people. School education must focus on the following aspects, which contribute immensely to developing young minds on their way to adulthood. Mental Aspect School is the most important source of knowledge that children are exposed to. It gives them the opportunity to acquire knowledge in various fields of education such as people, literature, history, mathematics, politics and other numerous subjects. This contributes to the cultivation of the thought process. When one is exposed to influences from different cultural sources, his/her attitude towards the world and existence becomes enormous. Social Aspect School is a child’s first social journey. Until then, the parents and immediate family members are the only people with whom the child has human interactions. And familiarity is a breeding ground for stagnation. With schools, children are not only exposed to new ideas, but also to compatriots of the same age. This conveys social practices such as empathy, friendship, participation, and help, which prove important in adulthood. Physical Aspect A child goes through various physical developments after conception. While home provides a limited outlet, the school allows a child to channel their energies into more social avenues. Studies have shown that in their familiar environment, the child is equipped to deal with sudden bursts of energy, but learns to look their best only when exposed to people their own age. Also, familiarity leads to taking advantage of situations, whereas the playing field is level at school. Also, the presence of activities like sports, and crafts help children to direct their boundless energy into something productive. Overall Development Schools used to be seen as where events in history chapters are learned, difficult math problems are solved, or poems and sonnets are recited. In the current educational scenario, a child learns to go beyond the traditional path of memorization. They learn to develop their own mind and curiosity is encouraged through the flexible curriculum. The child is freed from the shackles of mental blockages and lets their imagination run free. The importance of imagination is stressed extensively. Game staging and a comprehensive curriculum leading to a well-developed cognitive system.

By the age of 5, most children are ready to start learning in school. In the first few years, the focus is on learning the basics. In third grade, the focus becomes more complex. Reading is more about the content than identifying letters and words. Attention is important for success at school and at home. A 6-year-old should be able to focus on a task for at least 15 minutes. By the age of 9, a child should be able to focus their attention for about an hour. It is important that the child learns to deal with failure or frustration without losing self-esteem. There are many causes of school failure, including: Learning disabilities, such as dyslexia Stressors such as bullying Mental problems such as anxiety or depression If you suspect any of these in your child, talk to your child’s teacher or doctor. Language Development Early school-age children should be able to use simple but complete sentences averaging 5 to 7 words. As the child progresses through the elementary school years, grammar and pronunciation become normal. Children use more complex sentences as they grow. Speech delays can be due to hearing or intelligence problems. In addition, children who are not good at expressing themselves are more likely to engage in aggressive behaviour or outbursts of anger. A 6-year-old child can normally follow a series of 3 commands in a row. By age 10, most children can do 5 commands in a row. Children who have a problem in this area may try to cover it up by backtalking or fooling around. They will rarely ask for help for fear of being teased. Behaviour Common physical ailments (such as a sore throat, stomach, arm or leg) may simply be due to the child’s increased body awareness. Although there is often no physical evidence of such complaints, the complaints should be evaluated to rule out possible health problems. This will also reassure the child that the parents are concerned about their well-being. Peer acceptance becomes more important at school age. Children can participate in certain behaviours to be part of “the group”. Talking to your child about these behaviours can help the child feel accepted in the group without overstepping the bounds of family behaviour standards. Friendships at this age tend to be mostly with members of the same sex. In fact, younger school-age children often refer to members of the opposite sex as “weird” or “terrible.” Children become less negative towards the opposite sex as they approach puberty. Lying, cheating, and stealing are examples of behaviours that school-age children can “try on” as they learn to manage the expectations and rules imposed on them by family, friends, school, and society. Parents should discuss these behaviours privately with their children (so the child’s friends don’t tease them). Parents should show forgiveness and punish in a way that is related to the behaviour. It Is important that the child learns to deal with failure or frustration without losing self-esteem.
