GIRLS AND BOYS TREATED DIFFERENTLY!

  GIRLS AND BOYS TREATED DIFFERENTLY!


Intentionally or unintentionally we treat girls and boys differently.



In terms of education:


When boys in the family want to pursue higher studies or fail exams they are motivated for

doing better and growing. But when girls want to pursue higher studies, there is always one

a voice in the family will say, ‘What is the need for studying so much?’. Someone will

doubt that girls will not be able to complete it or consider it a waste of time and money for

the education of girls. But for boys, most of the time, the opportunity to study is given more

preference than girls.


In terms of nutrition:


Healthy food is important for both genders. Why does a wife have to wait for her husband to

have his food first and after that, she can have it?

Why should first boys be given healthier options to eat than girls?

All this has been going on for ages. Which is wrong.


In terms of activities participated at schools:


Why are sports for boys different from that for girls?

Why can't girls participate in football or cricket activities?

Why if a girl wants to be a part of the football team or demands the girls team, she is

questioned and judged?

Girls can participate in activities like dance, music, arts, and craft, but not other activities,

why?

This way we do not give equal opportunities to girls.

Why cannot a boy be good at the arts and not interested in football or cricket?

Sports and activities should not be gender-based.


In terms of household chores:


Girls are always told to participate in household chores like cooking, cleaning, and

taking care of family members. Boys can relax, watch television, and play games, but girls

should learn to do household chores so that when they get married they can take care of the

house well.

These are regular day-to-day activities. Through these ways, we treat girls and boys

differently.

It is unintentional and sometimes intentional.


It is very important to give equal opportunities to our kids and not divide activities according

to gender.


Stay safe!

Stay unbiased!

Happy parenting!

The lost art of focus: being distracted in a digital world | By Mentoons

  The lost art of focus: being distracted in a digital world Every 12 minutes, we check our phones, often right after waking up. Long-term mental health is harmed by always-on behavior, and we must learn to hit the stop button.                    It's impossible to imagine life before electronic gadgets. Now, we are controlled by technologies and "turned on" our personal and professional lives, making us available all the time, crucially, easily distracted, and interrupted every second of the day. These constant breaks of our time and focus have become the new normal, to which we have easily adjusted, but there is a drawback: an increasing number of specialists are warning us that these interruptions and distractions are eroding our ability to focus. Kids are going through a lot of trauma in their life and they don't share with others as their interactions with people are reducing because...

A Growth mindset is better for your health than a Fixed mindset | Steps to have a growth mindset | By Mentoons

A GROWTH MINDSET IS BETTER FOR YOUR HEALTH THAN A FIXED MINDSET Sometimes you might try something new and give up just because you could not do it right away. In such a case, you will feel disappointed, frustrated, embarrassed, or even angry. Those feelings can increase in children, which is why it's critical to cultivate the appropriate mindset early on and encourage kids to keep working towards big dreams. We all have ideas about our own potential and ability. These ideas are a part of our mindset, which is so powerful that they may influence our actions and predict our outcomes. Our everyday lives are shaped by our mindset, which aids us in interpreting our past experiences and future prospects. Having a proper mindset can make you work hard with good strategies and you will be motivated and innovative. An individual with a growth mindset will worry less about looking smart and put more energy into learning. When children practice  a growth mindset , they feel far  mor...
