Do you know that the idea “Language shapes the way we think” considered to be wrong earlier. But Stanford University and at MIT had reopened this question for research. They have collected data around the world from China, Greece, Chile, Indonesia, Russia, and Aboriginal Australia and gathered that people who speak different languages do indeed think differently and that even flukes of grammar can profoundly affect how we see the world.
Lera Boroditsky, who is an assistant professor of psychology, neuroscience, and symbolic systems at Stanford University, has put together an interesting article on the research findings at http://bit.ly/Other-LanguageShapesOurThinking
Enjoy the good read and help your children/students to be a global citizen! Motivate them to learn new languages to broaden their perspective about the world they live in!

“Happiness is when a daughter braids her Mom’s hair to express the love they share” ~ Rakhi Sharma
Parents, I am sure you feel touched when your kids do something special unexpectedly for you, irrespective of its simplicity. One beautiful Sunday morning, my daughter came to me saying “Mamma, I want to give you a surprise.” She combed my hair gently and braided them with utmost proficiency with her little fingers. This gesture and her adorable smile touched my heart deeply!

This quotation will make you laugh and remind you of those adorable moments when your kiddos have imitated you but in their innocent way! “Children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.”

The best gift parents can give to their kids is their precious time. So, Mom & Dads, whenever you can, do these:
1) Listen to your kids with full attention while keeping away all the distractions (hint: your phone)!
2) Talk to them in their language (hint: no lectures pls.)!
3) Be their friends and play with them with their toys)!
You will love them and they will adore you!

My daughter reminds me of this fact every now and then, especially during evenings and weekends. She’d say “Come…and spend time with me…” with a smiling face. If I don’t come within a specified time that I give, I get to hear a lot of interesting points about why spending time with her is more important than my work or I get small hand written notes as reminders. If nothing works, she would come and sit in my lap and give hugs and kisses. So, unless I am dealing with any strict deadlines, I love to give up. Love being a Mom!
