Nobody is Perfect - Acceptance Wins the Day
I really liked the book “Is your child ready
to face the world?” by Dr. Anupam Sibal. This book has taught me how to be a
real teacher, a teacher who sees her students as her own children and works for
their all-round development. In this book, I particularly liked the chapter -
”Making Mistakes, Accepting Flaws”.
Though it is common knowledge that “nobody is
perfect”, the acceptance of this adage is hard to come by. This is especially
true in case of students as they are at a learning age, one that allows them to
make mistakes. But as a teacher or as a parent, it is our duty to understand
and evaluate their mistakes. It is crucial to understand why the mistakes
happened in order to guide them towards the right path so that they do not
repeat them again. Even if they repeat the mistakes, we should not get hyper or
angry because if we do, they wont come to us next time they have a problem. We
should put ourselves in their shoes and then think for a solution that is best
understood by them and suited to their problem. When I was a student, I
troubled my teachers too. But they understood my problems and helped me
overcome and correct the mistakes I made. In the same way, I am here to
understand and teach my students to learn from their mistakes. I am not perfect
and I guess nobody can be, as we are always navigating the path of learning.
Kanishk is a student of the class I taught
last year. He is an excellent student - punctual and hard working. Once he came
to me with a problem as he could not understand the question. Though I
explained it several times, he just couldn't follow. This annoyed me and I
shouted at him for not understanding the concept. It had a very negative impact
on him. He scored the lowest in the class test the next day. I walked up to him
and asked him why he hadn't studied. He started crying and said that he feared
I would become annoyed at him again, due to which he lost the courage to come
up to me and ask again. Deep within I realised it was not his mistake but mine
that he could not come to me. The better way of handling it would've been to
explore other ways of explaining the concept to him in a patient manner.
Acceptance gives us the opportunity to
communicate better with children and deal with them more patiently. It gives
them confidence and encourages them to work on their flaws. -Vimmy Rajpurohit/ Educator
Don't Compare - Every Child Is
Different
Avoid Pressure to Work
Better
This book is a wonderful example of how
parents and teachers can prepare their child to become a good citizen. It
elaborates on how we can deal with children's challenges in future by sharing
our own and others' experiences with them. The numerous qualities described in
this book, such as courage, hope, determination, and humility, are the values
that every parent wants to see in his or her child. It is the duty of teachers
and parents alike to inculcate these qualities in their children in order to
help them achieve their goal in life. A child must have courage to give his
opinion and stand by what he believes in. He must also possess the ability to
accept the reality and truth whenever he is wrong. It is important that that we
learn from our mistakes in order to prevent them from recurring, and the first
step in this regard is accepting them. I would like to share an example of how
this book can help us in our classroom.
There is a girl in class V - Navya. When her
teacher distributed the exam sheets to the children, Navya did not secure the
marks that her mother was expecting. Her mother had told her that she must get
more than 90 marks in all subjects because she had made her study hard. Navya
was under pressure as she feared she'd get scolded and punished if she told her
mother about her marks. As a result, Navya gave fake scores to her mother. When
Navya’s mother came to take the report card, she told the class teacher that
this time Navya had got more than 90%. The teacher thought she had
misunderstood the grading system. She explained it to her. Navya’s mother was
shocked that her daughter had not been honest about her marks in any subject.
Her actual score was less than 70%. She was very angry and decided to give
Navya a hard time. She told the teacher that she had taught her daughter well
but could not understand why she got such low marks. There were students who
had scored full marks. The teacher asked her to calm down and ponder over why
Navya lied to her. Her mother responded by saying that the fear of getting
punished must have caused her to lie.
The teacher tried to explain that Navya was
left feeling under pressure due to this. All children are different and their
performances are also different in every subject. Navya may have interest in
other activities and should not be compared with others. No one is perfect in
this world and everyone makes mistakes. The same applies to Navya. The teacher
advised the mother to be patient with Navya so that the child can share her
feelings comfortably. A person cannot work properly under pressure and
sometimes ends up making a wrong decision to escape from the pressure. Putting
pressure blocks all communication and increases the chances of the same mistake
being repeated in future.
Navya’s mother realised that she needs to
trust her child to dissuade her from hiding anything in future. She also needs
to be more polite with her in order to understand her better. She should not
mount expectations on her. This will only put her under pressure and will bring
her performance down further. She decided to help her child explore her
interests and hone them.
This book is helpful for teachers as well as
for parents to prepare their children for future. Every individual has his own
dreams and interests which must not be compared with those of others. Instead,
a child must be motivated to achieve his own goal with determination. For this,
a supportive environment must be ensured. -Monika
