Importance of Extracurricular Activity in a Student's Growth



We all have heard the Hindi saying "Padhoge Likhoge to banoge Nawab, Kheloge Kudoge to Banoge Kharab" well, it's not true! At least not anymore. Research have shown that extracurricular activities help in a child's mental and physical growth, more than that it helps children grow necessary life skills like time management, social behavioural skills, team work, sense of responsibility, develop friendship. These skills are needed to not only grow as an important part of the community but also a sensible and happy human being. As grownups we do not give much thought to or maybe we just cannot fathom how much pressure a child faces while growing up, Pressure to do well in academics, pressure of high expectations from parents, school teachers, private tutors, etc. Most of the parent, especially in cities, pressure their children to do very good in academics, putting them in extra classes an all, covered with so many books a child sometimes misses the most important thing in his life, enjoying his childhood. By all means it is not wrong to push a child to do well in academics but we also need to ensure the right balance. A child needs time to see and learn new things, to wonder, to dreams, make new friends, as parents we need to make sure our children grow up mentally and physically healthy.
With the boom of sports and entertainment in the country there are numerous opportunities in the various sporting  fields, music & dance, singing, photography and many off-beat areas of interest where people are making fortunes. So, we don't need to push students towards becoming doctors and engineers as the previous generation did, we need to help them find their passion and guide them about how they can fulfil those passions and look towards future possibilities. And in this guiding process role of Parents and School teachers are equally important, that is why choosing a good school is an important task for parents. There are very few schools which are up-to such high standards and BDM International School is one of them, it has been voted the best CBSE School in Kolkata 2017.

BDMI student makes their mark – this time State Level Wrestling 2018

The child needs to attain the Spoken English class? Their body is not developing if is not joining Karate? And what about Singing classes? Then when will it be on Recitation? The inner artist needs to join the Drawing classes also right? That leaves us with the dancing classes also! Why leave aside Sundays? Now a days the students are not getting enough time to live their childhood. It is getting lost with the pressure of excellence in every field. We plan a life for our kid and with that we impose an expectation on them where we ask them to excel in every single field of life? It is the young age where they grow drastically and the more they are into extracurricular activities, the more they evolve in their studies as well as they do it out of love and not out of expectation. It is always better to let them do something that they love to do. They would learn new things and it will help them in a holistic development. Activities keep a child active and engaged.

Meditation Helps to Develop Children’s Brain and Behaviour

Meditation gives young children the feeling of being quiet and still. It gives them time to breathe and imagine. In fact, through meditation children learn that it is okay to be whoever they are and feel whatever they feel. Here are few of the benefits of Children’s Meditation 1.       Increase Focus: Now days children are not focused in one subject. They are not so much attentive in their work, between social media and technological gadgets, kids – and adults – are constantly surfing the internet, interacting via social media and playing video games indoors instead of reading a book, taking a walk or playing sports.   Meditation teaches them that it’s possible to direct their attention at one thing at a time, and that it actually feels great not to be distracted. 2.       Boosting Confidence: The confidence develops naturally when kids learn from their meditation practice that they don’t have to react to all of their thoughts and emotions – they can choose which ones merit
