Food is Fun. Enjoy your food!!!!

Breakfast is a very important meal.

Eat different foods every day as variety is the recipe for health.

Eat fruits and vegetables with each meal and tasty snacks.

Fat facts-Too much fat is not good for your health.

Snack attack! Eat regularly and choose a variety of healthy snacks.

Quench your thirst. Drink plenty of liquids.

Stress Management

We think that children don’t have stress but it’s not true. Children display stress very differently than an adult does. Often kids’ stress is internal-ized and most noticeable in physical symptoms like head-ache, stomachache, nausea, bedwetting, frequent, crying and sudden behavioral chang-es. It simply indicates a child’s inability to handle a stressful situation. Helping Kids to Reduce Stress

Spend time with your child and let them ventilate their negative emotions.

Gentle physical touch is a great healer. Sometimes a hug is worth more than a thousand words.

Motivate your child to discuss about his problems by asking open ended questions

Teach your kids that every-one makes mistakes.

Exercises and play can help to reduce stress. Motivate them to play out door games.

Help your kids recognize

and manage their stressors. (To be continued…..)

Counselor's Column Library Column Health Tips

young children should read?

Wordless Books –Books with little or no text, they have a story to tell which has to be interpreted from the pictures and other de-tails.

Alphabet Books–Books which will help children recognize letters with the help of Creative Artwork.

Counting Books - Books which will help to under-stand the concept of num-bers and symbols.

Nursery Rhymes –These are a natural for young chil-dren as well as for parents.

Participation Books– Books which will make your child participate active-ly by repeating the book's suggestions.

Picture Storybooks– These are interesting as a simple story line supported by clear illustrations and artwork.

Patterned Concept Books–These expand children's understanding of an idea, relationship, or theme.

Folktales and Fables–These have some cultural context or historical base and help children learn about diverse cultures and experiences.

TULIPS

The most important function of education at

any level is to develop the personality of the

individual and the significance of his life to

himself and to others.

We strongly feel that by such field visits not only the personality of the child but also his

own significance is developed. Congratulations !

Message from Tulips coordinator

Dear Parents, We are happy to inform that our young Tulips (Junior KG children) know about different types of flowers includ-

ing our national flower and their uses. Also they know about the five sensory organs and their importance.

We do see that they are enjoying learning at PDIS. For better communication as requested before kindly send the school diary (Almanac) with the child everyday and make it a point to go through it. We need to do this regularly as these little ones are still developing their proper communication skills.
