Building Brave Hearts: How to Help Kids Grow EQ and Bounce Back

-

Our world is full of challenges and indecisiveness, having the ability to rebound from setbacks and manage emotions effectively is a valuable skill. As parents, guardians, or caregivers, we play a crucial role in developing a child with emotions and also introducing survival skills, with a hint of resilience. Here, I am focussing on the importance of cultivating emotional intelligence in kids and nourishing practical advice on raising resilient kids.

Comprehending Emotional Intelligence

Help kids to identify their emotions: Explore the multifaceted concept of emotional intelligence and its profound impact on personal development.

Assisting the kids in recognizing and understanding their emotions is a crucial step in fostering emotional intelligence. Teach the words to describe their emotions. Play games, read books, and talk about different emotions.


Building a Foundation for Resilience

Create a safe and loving environment: Children should feel loved and secure to express their emotions freely. Let them know that you're always available for them.


Communication and Empathy

Open Communication: Show your child how to express their emotions healthily. When you are feeling frustrated, angry, or sad, talk to your child about what you are feeling and how you are coping with those emotions.

Empathy as a Skill: Encourage empathy in your child by discussing the emotions of fictional characters in books and movies.


Learning from Failure and Success

Embracing Failure as a Learning Opportunity: Making mistakes is a part of learning, do not punish your child for making them, instead use them as an opportunity to teach new skills.


Celebrating Successes: It's important to take the time to celebrate your child's successes, no matter how big or small. This will help them build confidence and self-esteem, which are crucial for their growth and development.


Encourage Independence

Fostering Independence and Decision-Making: When the child faces a problem, discuss different strategies to solve it and help them develop coping skills.


Raising resilient children is a process that requires purposeful and mindful parenting, prioritizing emotional intelligence, and creating a solid base for kids to cope with life's intricacies. By adopting these fundamental principles, we contribute to the formation of emotionally resilient individuals who are capable of facing life's challenges with bravery and fortitude.

Indian Courts and the Summer Vacation: A Need for Reform in Modern Times

-

Currently, the legal system of the sub-continent owes much to British colonization regarding its structure, as it is one of the largest and most complex legal systems worldwide. One of its  special  characteristics is that the legal working hours  are structured   in a way  that many of the courts, especially the apex courts, remain shut for almost two months during the summer holidays. A practice that was perhaps well suited to the colonial period has lately been the subject of criticism in light of the current and growing requirement of the courts and the massive unprocessed case file.  Historical Context  The concept of summer vacations can be attributed to the British rule in India since they  too   followed  the practice. The majority of them were British judges  and  they could not bear the heat of the Indian summer. Hence,  a long vacation was introduced  so they could go back to England or other hill stations in India that offered cooler climates.  This practice was followed  i
