Language Challenge Dont Give Up! Language Challengers Youre ALMOST DONE! Language Challengers Youre ALMOST DONE! For those of you who are taking the challenge, youre halfway through the language challenge and we know its tough, but dont give up! Learning a language can be hard, and the number one thing preventing learners from finishing what they start is a drop in motivation. So to help you succeed, here are some tips for staying motivated. 1. Why? The one-worded question where all of this began. Why are you taking this challenge?  You wanted to learn a new language! 2. Stop focusing so much on the negatives. Bring out the positives and be proud of every achievement made, whether it be you finished another session, learned a new way of saying something or finally mastered some new vocabulary. 3. Understand that this isn’t meant to be easy. In fact it will be incredibly frustrating, but believe in yourself and you will go far. Doing 2-3 language lessons a week is tough but achievable. 4. You are not alone.  Talk with other challengers, post your achievements on our discussion pages to get encouragement from others.  Its always best when you share your achievements with others! 5. Focus on your goal Have fun. Look at what you’re doing and enjoy it.  The feeling of accomplishment (and the prize of 300ITC) that you will get when you complete the challenge is  something you should focus on.

Tips to Discipline Kids - Aloha Mind Math - ALOHA Mind Math

Tips to Discipline Kids According to psychiatrist Michael Brody, MD “Discipline has to do with civilizing your child so they can live in society. Children of different age groups need specific type of disciplining based on the nature and attitude of the child. While there is no easy way to discipline children, here are top tips suggested by experts in the field. Define Ground Rules When your child is old enough to understand, and respond to what you are saying, set up rules he can follow. Make him understand why some rules are necessary. For example â€" he has to be in bed at a specific time, he can watch television at a certain time, he has to finish homework on the same day, he needs to avoid talking to strangers and so on. Explain that there rules are meant for his health and safety. Reward Good Behavior While punishment is an important part of discipline, most parents tend to overlook their children’s best behaviors. Acknowledge their good behavior every now and then. Let them know they have done a good job on completing their homework, scoring good grades, and being a good child. Once in a while rewarding good behavior boosts their confidence. Take them to the game or treat them their favourite ice cream! Reinforce Positive Behavior While disciplining children, always use positive language as far as possible. Instead of saying “Don’t do this” ask them, “Can you do this for me please?” Avoid using negative affirmations as much as you can. No matter how hard it is, do not constantly yell at them telling them they are good for nothing. Stay Consistent Once you have laid down rules, stick by them. There are times when older children try to negotiate on things like watching more television or staying over at a friend’s place. Evaluate the situation before giving in to their requests all the time, or else they are likely to take rules for granted. To know more about AOHA, visit our website http://www.aloha-usa.com/
