Helping Children / Kids in Home Work -No Tutions


Helping kids in home-work is becoming a challenge day-by-day. With both parents busy in the office jobs & carrying home the stress ,helping kids in their studies has taken a back-seat.
Tutions from a very young age has become a fashion rather than neccessity. You can find kids as young as 6-7 years going to 2-3 coachng classes?Is it good for next generation?
Helping kids in home work not only helps parents to understand their progress in school, it also can give lot of insights about school,about their friends & about development of the kids in general.Apart from it ,it can be very easily said that it adds to emotional bonding among parents & children .Importance of sitting with kids & taking them through different subjects with day-to-day examples ,importance of a parenet can't be over-emphasized.
But despite all of  the above, as a parent ;we all are hard pressed for time.May be a week-end is all what we have.
In west , parents have found an innovative solution for the same. They spend time with the kids ,although little ,but they try to make best out of it. This is what they called spending "Qulaity time" with children.
They use cartoons, animations & vidoes for school subjects.These videos not only help children to get acquainted wwith internet at a very young age ,but they narrow down the key areas to be focused for each subject. Also lot of these contain day-to-day examples ,which help chidren to grasp the subject easily.
These videos help kids in their home-work revision, understanding the subject deeply & easily.Few of the videos ,you can refer to are as following:
Best advantage of these are that children can spend 15-20 minutes a day & they can become masters of the subjects. Also they can see these again & again ,which is not possible for class-room teaching lessons.

New way of Teaching


Text book teaching is now a passe. 
Schools in USA & UK have now moved to class room videos . 
"Seeing is Believing" is the key to new learning methods.
More than rote, understanding concepts has become neccessary.
Don't believe it.
Have a look at following videos ,sit with your kids after you make them watch these videos, check their progress.
Compare it with normal learning process, see the difference?

This is new way .... learning through videos with lot of day to day examples incorporated in these.
Hope you start believing in these.

Free Science Videos for Kids -Best Indian Educational Website


We ,as parents of two kids of 6 & 11 years, used to struggle a lot for home-work help for our kids as well as to give them quality understanding.
Being working parents ,we are always pressed for time, so wanted some short-cut to spend less time with greater outputs for kids. Also as grown-up professionals, we believed in adage"Seeing is Believing" .
So started our quest for quality education videos. First we bought lot of video CDs from market, but found those very low-quality & then you have to pay for the same without knowing what is inside.
Then we took resort in Google.We would type the subject name in google  plus video in it. To our surprise,we came across thousands of videos on several websites. 
Then we realized that we are not first ones to look for this route.Parents all across the globe are searching for this way of teaching their youger-ones.
But along came the trouble-how to short-list relevant videos ,which are suitable for our own kids. Few were of very low quality or for toddlers & other were for grown-up kids.
That is a problem ,which every parent faces. After one year of struggle ,we came across few relevenat websites .Apart from You Tube ,would like to list those for help of other parents
a) www.neok12.com -it is one spot ,where you would find all sorted videos ,that is the best part .But again issue comes of level or grading.
b) www.brainpop.com-excellent site , but it paid.
c) http://www.makemegenius.com -this has been made by us so obviously we've tried to minimize what we found lacking in others. 
d) www.discoverykids.com -again a great website , but is more of extra-studies .
So try to teach your kids with help of videos.We found these very effective.
