A Cursed House

Along time ago, a seven-year-old Harry lived with his parents and grandfather in the city. Every morning Harry's grandfather dropped him at the school. And used to pick him up in the afternoon. One day as usual, while his grandfather was accompanying him on the way back from the school they saw a beggar on their way. He was wearing dirty clothes. It seemed that he had not taken bath for a long time. "Please sir! Give me some money since long I haven’t eaten anything." said beggar. Harry said to his grandfather "Grandpa, it seems he is very hungry. Can you please give him some money?” "You are right Harry. He looks very hungry. I should give him some money." said grandfather. Saying this grandfather took some money out of his pocket and gave it to the beggar. "I will always remain thankful to you sir." Said beggar. After giving him some money grandfather and Harry walked towards their home. Next day too, while they were on their way back from school they again saw the same beggar again and on Harry’s request the grand father gave beggar some money. This went on for many days. Next morning grandfather was not feeling well therefore, harry have to go school alone. That day School's principal came to Harry's class. Principal said, '' Kids we shouldn't give any money to the beggar who we find in our way". Harry said, " But Principal Sir, if we will not give any money to beggar then how will they eat the food?" Principal said, “You are saying it right Harry but the money they get every day from people will not make any difference in their life ever." Harry asked, “But Sir, what should we do then?" "Rather than giving money to beggars every day, it better to make them learn any work. So that, he can earn some money with it and have good food with that money." said Principal. Now Harry understood the wise ways of his principal that how to help the beggar. He was on his way back from school, since his grandfather was ill so he met that beggar alone. "Oh, little master where your grandfather is today? Now who gonna give me money for my meal?” Said Beggar.   “You don't worry at all. Today I will give you money." said Harry. “But in return you have to do some work for me." Harry took the beggar along with him to his father's toy factory. And listening everything from Harry. His father said," If this is so, then I shall surely help you out." Now he took beggar to spare parts of his toys and told him to make the toy model by joining the spare parts and if you succeeded then I will give you good money. The beggar right away started making toy because he was hungry and he had to eat food. Finally, after many mistakes beggar made a toy as he was told. "Hope you will like this, Sir!" said beggar. "Yes, very good you have done a great job." said Harry's father. "And here is your money as promised." After seeing the good amount of money the beggar was delighted. He said, " I am very thankful to you master. You gave me a lot of money." "I haven’t given you any money. You have earned this money by your hard work." said Harry's father. “Today I have learnt that hard work pays off." said beggar. Now I will stop begging and start doing work. MORAL LESSON Hard work pays.We should help the needy people.

Will you teach your child how to count and remember numbers? These simple tips can help you get started if that's the case. Some are good for kids of all ages, while others are only good for kids of a certain age. Using Cards It looks great and is easy to make. You'll need some construction paper or cardstock, some pictures (I used carrots), and scissors to make your counting cards. Put your baby on the floor and show him number one. "That's one," you say. One carrot only. What is the number of carrots? Tell your child to say "One" over and over again. You should make a point. Don't worry if your child stops caring after just one card. Since you can only teach one number at a time, you're already doing well. Small children, especially boys, can't pay attention for long. Don't try to force it. I'd do it again the next day, and if he kept sitting, I'd move on to number 2. You can stop here if your child can sit still through number three. Before adding more, make sure he can count up to three pictures on the cards. "Where is it?" asked the person. He should be able to show you the card with the number one on it. What will happen to both of them? He should be able to say at least two things that show this. Once he knows which card goes with which number, you can move on to the next step. Keep doing it this way until he can count the pictures independently. Over time, he will learn to sit still for long stretches, especially if you make it fun. Number Puzzles Puzzles are fantastic. A dollar store is where it was bought. Please sit down and work on the puzzle with your child to teach him something. Tell him the name of each number he is returning. Tell him to say them again. Use the numbers to play by giving them goofy voices and interacting with your child via them. (Deep voice) Hello, my name is Six! My belly is pretty big. What are you called? He'll like it if you do silly things. Bears and Chips in Your Pocket I think I bought these from Walmart. Your child can learn to count in a fun way with them. Everything you already have in your home can be used. Put them near your child, so you can help him count them. Start with a small dose and then up it as he gets better. Number-Based Toys There was a yard sale where you could buy these. I like to tell my child the name of the number and a little bit about it in a funny voice. Then I'll show them to my child and ask him to pick a few. Flashcards Fun flashcards always have a number on one side and a picture on the other. I like showing my kid the number and explaining what it means before flipping the card over and having him count how many items are on the other side. For them, it's always fun to see what picture is on the back. After a few numbers, ask your kids to point to certain numbers. "All right, where are the three?" has the little one pointed to the third one. Excellent work! So that makes all three! What will happen to both of them? A child doesn't choose the right card. Uh-oh! You're getting close! Where did the other two go? If he can't find it, help him. Then heap praise on them! Books Children can learn a lot from number books and books that help them count. Children like to look at books and might not even realize they are learning simultaneously. The books I write are in Spanish. But these two are just as good, and you can read them in English. Dotted Patterns Making these kinds of cards is easy for a game about finding dot patterns. First, lay out the card with the number one, the card with the matching dot pattern, the card with the number two, and the card with the matching dot pattern. Tell your child to match the composite cards with the dot pattern cards that go with them. After he learns how to match, give him more cards to match. Help him count the dots on the dot trend cards and figure out what number goes with each one.   Counting Cookie Smart Snacks We like this toy. Playing with all of these with your child is a great way to help them learn to remember and count. Make believe you're hungry and want some cookies. Your child says, "I'm very hungry!" Let me eat number two, please. Act as if you're going to eat the cookie your child gives you. If your child gives you the wrong cookie, act upset, like you want to cry, and ask again for number two. When you act so dramatically, kids often find it funny. Education-related placemats These are inexpensively priced at Walmart. Eating can be a teaching experience if you approach it with the right attitude. Even your little kid can figure out how much to eat. You could also ask how many he wants. Another fun way to sneak in a lesson is to use numbers and count while kids eat snacks. Flooring Tiles I found several of them at a yard sale for a very low price, but you can also buy them on Amazon and at Toys R Us. I like to set them up by number in a hopscotch pattern. Then I play hopscotch with the kids and say the numbers I land on. Tell your child to do what you are doing. You can also tell them to jump when you call out certain numbers.

If talking doesn't work, you should try different strategies. One option is to have your child join a specific club or class they are interested. They'll have something to focus on and meet people who share their interests. Additionally, ensure that you introduce your child to other parents at the school and ask if they can meet for coffee or lunch once a week. This will help build relationships with other parents and help keep your child safe while attending school.What to do if your child has trouble sleepingIf your child has trouble sleeping, there are a few things you can do to help them get ready for school.

Children begin to learn certain sounds immediately after birth. They will cry, coo, and gurgle until they are around one year old when they will likely pronounce their first word. As your infant becomes a toddler, you will have a great deal of work to help them learn the language and get along with others. Toddlers are adept at observing and mimicking what they see, so you must be mindful of your speech and movement. To assist your toddler in reaching developmental milestones, you must first recognize that every kid develops and learns at a different rate. When your child is ready to start talking, the following will help them acquire new words and interact with others: Encourage infants to play Most toddlers are naturally playful, which is beneficial since it is the greatest method for them to develop, learn, and discover the world. You have more opportunities to chat and listen when your kid plays more. You'll be astonished by how fast they learn if you continue to converse with them and have fun while repeating words. For a game to be effective, your child must communicate and engage with other children. If you play with your kid often while they are small, they are likely to use humorous language by age three. Keep in mind that it might be difficult for toddlers to attempt to communicate with you but not be able to do so. Instead of sometimes correcting them, try encouraging them. Adequate Television Involvement You may show your infant television images and noises as a means of communication. Unless your infant is playing with you or engaging in conversation, it is best not to allow them to watch television. Ensure your youngster watches no more than one to two hours of television daily. Otherwise, they may become couch potatoes. Also, monitor what your child views on television since it may form their personality. In this digital era, when practically every parent has a TV and internet subscription, the only thing you can do for your kid is choosing age-appropriate entertainment. If your kid is exposed to unhelpful or cruel information, it might make them more aggressive and hinder their ability to get along with others. Thanks to the Internet, you can choose which programs your youngster should watch. Your youngster may also see various stuff on social networking sites. It is safer than allowing kids to view stuff you cannot control. Dialog with your youngster When your young child speaks to you, you should not repeat what they say. Instead, communicate with them as if they were adults. It may sound odd, but it gives your youngster more words to learn, enhancing their vocabulary. When you get home from work, give your child a warm embrace and inquire about their day. Then describe your day to them. There will undoubtedly be some back-and-forth, but you can be assured that someone is listening. If you do not communicate with your kid, you may see them leading a monotonous, lonely existence, which might damage other crucial phases of their growth. They will have little to say because they hear little. It will help if you read aloud to them No of the age of your kid, you should spend a great deal of time reading to them. As kids mature, they go from basic tales to more complex ones. The time they spend together will teach them how to get along with others, and the noises you make while reading will be remembered. Picture books are wonderful for young children since they are colorful and entertaining. They will keep your youngster engaged and assist them in learning a large number of new words. If a youngster read a book daily, their vocabulary will increase by up to 1,400,000 words compared to those who do not. Purchase Animal Toys Plastic or wooden animal toys may be bought at baby shops. The toys are entertaining and inspire your youngster to play in novel ways. You may even use sign language to assist your infant in learning new words. Teaching your child the names and sounds of many animals is enjoyable. They will likely pay attention if you shout out the name and sound of each animal toy. Repeat until your youngster can identify the creatures alone. Children Must Acquire Valuable Social Skills With strong social skills, children can get along with their classmates. Your kid cannot acquire all these talents at once, so be patient and assist them while they develop in other areas. You should not expect your youngster to possess or fast acquire these talents. It will need time and effort to reach the goal. A Montessori daycare is another setting where these skills may be learned.   How Empathy Allows Young Children to Develop Social Skills Every parent must assist their kid in building habits early in life. Understanding and caring about other people's experiences is empathy. Helping your toddler develop empathy will provide them with a solid foundation for the social and emotional abilities they will need for life. You must demonstrate concern for others to educate your kid to care for others. The more you repeat these actions, the more probable your child will remember them. Instead of penalizing your child if they bully other children, try to comprehend how the other children feel. If your kid has difficult periods of frustration and fury, do not attempt to solve the situation to save them the suffering. Even if you cause somebody to feel awful, it is essential to recognize their suffering and express your concern. Your youngster will know that these occurrences are common and that they should care when they occur to others. Findings To assist your child in acquiring more vocabulary and communicating with people, you must expose them to the outside world. Many parents commit the error of keeping their children too isolated from others. Your youngster should encounter as many individuals as possible in a secure setting. It helps kids learn rapidly and develop the social skills necessary.

If you're like most parents, you probably dread the thought of sending your child to a new school. But if you do it right, it can be an exciting and educational experience. There are a few things you can do to make the transition as smooth as possible for your child. In this blog post, we'll go over some essential steps you need to take to make the change go as smoothly as possible. From organizing your child's belongings to setting up a routine, read on to learn everything you need to know to prepare your child for their new school year. Setting up a new school environment for your child When your child is ready to start a new school year, there are a few things you can do to help make the transition as smooth as possible. You can get some margin to set up an agreeable school climate for your kid. Here are some suggestions for doing so: 1. Organize Your Child's Files One of the first steps in preparing your child for a new school year is organizing their files. This will help them feel more at ease and less overwhelmed by all the latest information and paperwork. Having everything in one place allows your child to access what they need when needed, rather than searching through folders scattered around the house. 2. Provide Appropriate Advanced Learning Materials If your child has been doing well in their previous schools, don't hesitate to provide them with advanced learning materials such as high-level math or vocabulary textbooks. However, discuss these materials with your teacher beforehand so they understand how much your child should be expected to cover in each class period. Additionally, it's always helpful to have cheat sheets or flashcards available so your child can review material during break periods or on their own time outside class. 3. Encourage Your Child's Interests and Talents One of the best ways to prepare your child for a new school year is by encouraging their interests and talents. Helping your child adjust to their new school When your child begins their first day of school, there is an adjustment period for both the child and the parent. To help your child adjust, be sure to follow these tips: 1. Be supportive. Let your child know you are here for them as they make new friends and start a new routine. Talk with them about what they are experiencing and let them know it will all pass in time. 2. Do not hover. Helping your child feel like they can ask for help when needed is key to allowing them to adjust to their new environment. However, avoid approaching or being overbearing; let them take the lead in initiating conversations about their school life. 3. Make an effort to get involved in extracurricular activities and clubs at school. This will give your child a sense of community and support while also allowing you to learn more about what interests your child and which clubs might be a good fit for them. 4. Set expectations early on. Please discuss with your child what academic performance is expected of them in their new setting, and be clear about any rules or regulations that apply at school (e.g., no eating or drinking outside designated areas during lunchtime). Also, clarify homework expectations so there are no surprises later in the year. Introducing your child to their new classmates Welcome to your new school! For both you and your child, this is a time of transition and excitement. There are many new people and things to learn, but everything can go smoothly with some preparation. To ensure a smooth transition, here are some suggestions: 1) Talk with your child about their new classmates. Let them know who they are, what they like to do, and what kind of personality they might expect. This will help them get to know their classmates before school starts. 2) Structured introductions will help everyone feel comfortable around each other. Have your child introduce themselves to their new friends in advance and make sure they stay on schedule. This way, there's more clarity during the first few days of school. 3) Allow plenty of time for homework assignments and socializing after school. Make it a priority for both parents to be involved in their child's education so that they have a positive experience at the new school. Showing your child how to get along with others It's time for your child to start school again. Whether they are beginning in a new grade or moving to a new school, you can do a few things to help them get ready. One important thing is to show your child how to get along with others. Here are some tips: 1. Teach your child how to say "no." One of the essential skills your child will need when starting school is saying no. This means that they will have to learn when and how to refuse requests from their classmates. Ensure they understand that sometimes it is impossible or not desirable to do what someone wants them to do. For example, if a classmate asks your child to lend them their pencil, tell them they can't because they don't have any. If this doesn't work, try saying something like, "I'm sorry, but I can't lend you my pencil right now because I'm not done with it." 2. Help your child build relationships with others. Building relationships is one of the best ways for your child to get along with others. When children spend time getting to know people, they become much more likely to cooperate and get along with those around them. To help your child build relationships, try engaging them in activities outside of school, like going on walks or playing together at home. Also, make sure you spend time talking with them about their friends and what makes them. Encouraging your child to try new activities If your child is excitedly approaching the school year 2019, there are plenty of activities to keep them engaged. One way to encourage new interests and activities is to offer a variety of options for exploration. Let your child try out new things, whether exploring the outdoors, joining a club, volunteering with local organizations, or taking classes in a new subject. It can be helpful for children to experience different aspects of life to understand better where they want to focus their energies in later years. Exposing them to various cultures and viewpoints can help them develop critical thinking skills and tolerance for other people's beliefs. It's also important to set limits so your child doesn't overdo things and gets overwhelmed. Be encouraging and tell them you will always be there for them.

Once upon a time, in a small village far away, lived James. James was an honest man and skilled painter. He painted walls, boats, and houses and did his work with honesty and diligence. There were nights when he would go to bed hungry. He would work all day and be satisfied with whatever he earned. One fine day, a rich businessman came for a visit. He and his family had planned for a short stay in the village. The businessman entered the village in the most expensive cart. And many more carts followed him. They were full of fruits and clothes. The villagers stood in awe as the entire procession passed right in front of them. The following day, The Businessman called for James. As James walked to the Businessman's house, he met his friend, Tom. Tom said, “Hey, James! Where are you going?" James said," Hello, Tom. I am going to the Businessman's house. He has some work for me." Tom said," Listen, he is a very wealthy man. This is a good opportunity. You must charge him more than what you charge others. It's only fair. And I am sure he won't mind paying you." James said," No, Tom. It's not fair. I can't charge him more than I charge others. That's cheating! If he likes my work, then he can decide to pay me more. But I have to be honest and tell him the right price." Tom said," I am your friend, James. I respect your honesty. But honesty alone cannot feed you. You work so hard but people in this village will never have enough money to pay you. Take my advice. You should ask for at least five hundred bucks for the work he has for you." James was shocked and said, "Five hundred bucks? NO! I have never charged five hundred bucks to anyone! I understand your concern, my friend. And thank you for caring about me. But I have been doing just fine with whatever I earn." “Well... I did my part. It's up to you now." James waved goodbye to his friend and walked ahead. As James entered the house of Businessman, he was mesmerized. It was nothing less than a palace. “Oh, hello! You must be James - The Painter!” said Businessman. James said, “Yes, I am, Sir. You had some work for me? " The businessman said, “Oh, yes! The caretaker for my boat has gone out. He will be back only by tomorrow afternoon. But I need the boat to get painted. Will you be able to paint it by tonight?" "Yes, I can", said James. “Where is the boat? I will get started right away." "But you never told me how much it will cost.” said Businessman. “I charge one hundred bucks to paint a boat", said James. The businessman laughed and said," Only a hundred bucks! That's it. You can have a hundred bucks right away and that boat is near the river. You can call me when it is done." He handed over a hundred bucks to James. He took the coins and went to the paint shop. He bought paint for the boat and went straight towards the river, where the boat of Businessman was present. As he was about to begin, he saw that the boat had a hole in the center. He thought it could be dangerous. So, he filled the whole first. Then he painted the boat. He worked for hours without eating anything. He left and called the businessman to see the boat. After seeing the boat. The businessman said, “Oh! This is wonderful! You work well, James. Here take these thirty bucks. You deserve it. If I have anything else to paint, I will call you at once." James said, “You are a generous man, Sir. I shall leave now." The next morning, the businessman's family went for a ride in the boat. The Businessman waved goodbye to them at the river and went back home. As he reached, he saw the boat's caretaker walking towards him. The caretaker said, “Sir, you are here a week early." “Oh! Yes, my family insisted to see the village. They just left for their trip in the boat." The caretaker said, “What! No! We have to call them back. Right now! The businessman said, “Why are you so worried?" The caretaker said, “There is a hole in the boat.  Your family will drown. I was going to repair it today." The businessman became worried. The Businessman and the caretaker rushed towards the river. But the boat was nowhere to be seen. They searched for hours. They shouted their names. But there was no response. The Businessman knelt there and cried. The businessman said, "What have I done! My family! I should have never let them on the boat." Just as he sat there blaming himself, her wife and kids returned in the same boat. Her wife said," What happened, my dear? Why are you crying?" The businessman said," you are all safe! I was so worried. There was a big hole in the boat. I thought I have lost you." She said," But there was no hole in the boat. It's as good as new."   The caretaker said, “I’m glad that you are all safe. But I don't understand how that is possible? I know for a fact that there was a big hole right in the center of the boat. I didn't get a chance to repair it before I left. Who repaired it?"The businessman thought for a while. He then understood what had happened and immediately sent to call James the painter. James came to the businessman's house. The Businessman gave him a bag of twenty thousand dollars and said," This is your reward, James." James was surprised and said, “Reward! Reward for what?" The businessman said," Reward for your honesty and hard work. You saved my family's life. You filled up the hole in the boat. That was not your job. And you didn't even charge me for that."
