The Importance Of Focusing On Right Brain Development And Education For Children

  “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” - Albert Einstein Children are curious, emotional, and active little individuals. It’s an indication of all the wonderful brain growth that occurs daily. According to research, the brain may create new pathways and networks that boost cognitive ability and performance in various domains.  Both hemispheres of the brain must cooperate for the brain to function correctly. Morning Glorie’s right brain development education and training uses sensory engagement, physical growth, and cognitive development to construct and enhance these connections.  The Problem Of Rote Learning In Educational Institutions  Rather than concentrating on tedious work and project books, right brain development prefers to create engaging activities. Active initiatives that need a hands-on approach are always appealing. Unfortunately, practically all present school curricula are left-brain focused, and they always emphasis...

Experiential learning and how Morning Glorie emphasises on experience-based learning for toddlers

  In education, experiential learning is a well-known yet often not executed paradigm. Morning Glorie focuses on experiential learning for children for holistic personality enrichment, where we integrate learning with fun. In India, most schools still use a basic academic, theoretical approach. At Morning Glorie, the theory is backed by experiential learning to create an understanding-based learning atmosphere.  Even if a child attends a school that emphasises theoretical topics, our program may serve as a bridge by emphasising activity-based learning and be just as effective as an after-school program. Morning Glorie’s online program for children includes personality development, right brain development, language development, among many more modules that believe in hands-on learning. Being online, the program gives you access to the best, trained facilitators no matter where you are. Being live ensures that a child’s response to a stimulus is accounted for when taking any con...

Personality Enrichment of Your Child - Understanding Before Guiding

Whenever you initiate an interaction with your child (be it a conversation, an activity, a game, even a trip to the park), there is a certain reaction you have in mind. That is a part of your assessment based on your own personality traits. And it may not matter how young your child is. Sometimes, your child may react exactly how you expected them to, sometimes, you are taken by surprise. Why does this happen? Personality Building and Development Every parent must have heard time and again that the early years of your child's life, specifically the first five years, are some of the most important ones. This is because they are building their own individual, unique personality even when they are infants and toddlers. The many kinds of stimuli they are exposed to help shape that to an extent, but every child still has an inherent personality which is unique to them. If we look back at our own experience at Morning Glorie, we have seen different children respond differently to the sam...

Online Homeschooling -The Smarter Education System

Online Homeschooling or home education is when the education of children happens outside the premises of an actual school or at a place structurally different from a typical school. It could be at home or a variety of different places other than the boundaries of a school. They are usually conducted by a parent, tutor, or an online teacher with methods that are less formal and more personalized according to the needs of the child, which is uncommon at a school. The structure of homeschooling depends on the party conducting the school or the attendee that is the student, it can go from highly structured to a more open and free form of schooling. Online Homeschooling- where school comes home, smarter and better In India, Homeschooling is fairly a new concept despite being practiced in the west for a long period of time. India is a country where traditional schooling still prevails at a very large scale giving little to no importance to practical and choice-based learning which can make i...

Decoding "Tantrums" - Why Do We Feel Embarrassed By Them?

Some years back (many more than I would care to admit to),  I remember me and my cousins had gone out with our Aunt and Uncle and parents to the market. CP in Delhi as I recall, as posh as it could possibly get. My cousin at that point was a mere toddler, I may have been in my teens. As is quite common, not just with kids, but adults as well, he saw something in the market which he liked, and wanted. For xyz reason, he was refused. The result - he lay down in the middle of the shop, started crying, and refused to get up.  By any stretch of imagination, this scenario is not an uncommon one. Parents across the globe experience it, not just with toddlers, but even older children. Barring the last year and a half, when kids have primarily been at home, we have in our last decade of experience at Morning Glorie's preschool and daycare in South City1 Gurgaon, had many parents come to us and talk about how their baby was likely to "throw a tantrum" if they did not get what they ...

The Decade Long Journey - From Preschool and Daycare to Online Homeschooling

Almost 11 years ago, a mother and daughter set out with a dream - to set out on a journey and build something together. But, the million dollar question was, what temple would they build? What could they do together which would take both their skill sets to complement each other? And then it hit them - the mother-daughter duo would embark on a journey to support other mothers and fathers and their loved ones, their little ones. And so, after a period of much prep and love and labour, on 1 August 2011, Morning Glorie opened up her doors to welcome all little children and their parents, who were looking for a safe and loving space as they took the first steps towards their own new journey - a child learning to leave home for the first time to embark upon a learning journey, a parent looking to balance work with home, a parent looking to take the first step towards nudging their child into an unknown world.     At Morning Glorie, we grew along with each of our children. As they r...

A Child - Individual and Unique

Every parent wants the best for their child - we do everything in our power to provide the best of opportunities to our children. This starts at quite a young age - sending your child to the best schools, giving them access to the best of resources, spending quality time with them to give them the best possible direction, as they grow older, sending them to the best of colleges, and so on and so forth. In this process, subconsciously or consciously, unintentionally, or sometimes intentionally, we tend to lose perspective. This may happen in two ways - Living Our Aspirations Through Our Children Parents living their own dreams through their children is not something new - this is something which is probably as old as time. It is perfectly natural to want our children to have better lives than we did, but sometimes, we end up with passing on our own aspirations to our children. This may be subconsciously done, but ends up guiding our choices right from the beginning. Making Comparisons A...

Youngest or Oldest in Class? - The Age-Old Dilemma

I was always amongst the youngest in my class, and for some reason, it filled me up with a lot of pride. If you asked me why back then, I had no idea, other than maybe the fact that despite being the youngest, I could outperform my peers academically. After all, we come from the generation when performing well academically was more important than anything else.   This was true however only right up till the time I went to b-school, and realized that my batchmates, who were older and had more experience were by and large more worldly-wise than I was (not true of all for sure, there were batchmates younger still who thrived in the environment). The point is, I eventually reached a stage where I felt that it was important to gain more experience before being thrown at the deep end of something I was potentially unprepared for, and it also gave me the chance to introspect what I had missed out during my earlier journey. For instance, while I was a good student, I missed out on a...

Pushing Children Beyond Their Comfort Zone - Striking the Right Balance

My mother, who is also my partner at work (this may seem odd, but we do complement each other in our skillsets, this makes us a good team), takes some of the batches in our online homeschooling in India program. These are live and interactive sessions, where parent and child attend together and are part of small groups of children for guided learning sessions. She also handles communication with the parent body, something we have learned is a very crucial aspect - at times, it is our responsibility to give the right guidance to parents as much as addressing queries which they may have. So two instances happened in the last couple of months, where a concerned parent called us up to tell us that their child was only interested in some of the activities, which seemed more fun in nature, while they tended to either show disinterest, or run away from some of the other activities.  Their query to us had two dimensions -  1. Should the nature of activities be changed? 2. Were we push...
