Understanding Your Child's Early Development

Dear parents,

Prince Court Medical Centre cordially invites you to a talk on “Early Childhood Development”. The development of the human brain involves many stages. While we like to think of ourselves as logical thinkers, research has proven that the emotional part of our brain seems to play an integral part in our life. Children are dependent on their parents for guidance as their stimulation and the environment that they provide will lay down the foundation in which they view the world.

Being aware as parents of the crucial role that we play may help us in having a society in which children can grow to live their life to the fullest.

Come and listen to the speakers impart invaluable information on how environment affects the development of a child from infant to toddler.

Take this opportunity to get all your questions answered by the experts.

For registration, please call 03 2160 0000 ext.2282 (Zeenat) or ext. 1115 (Aznida)

email zeenat.din@princecourt.com

Limited seats available. Kindly RSVP before 26th July 2010

Creative teaching seminar

I came to know that there will be a seminar held in Amcorp Trade Centre on 16th August 2009, giving out information about creative teaching, which I personally feel that it is useful to every parent.

In this 21st century era, parents and children alike need to constantly be growing, evolving and developing. A CREATIVE parent will be able to:
* stop correcting problems & start encouraging,
* concentrate more on what is right and less on what is wrong,
* see mistakes as opportunities for gaining experience and not as failures,
* acknowledge that children also have valuable ideas & the more ideas the better,
* realize that there are always better ways rather than doing things the same way,
* listen to child’s opinion in order to create a win-win situation for everyone!

The course named “The Art of Creative Teaching”, with the objectives as below:

-The importance of using meaningful set induction
-The art of telling stories
-Using humor to liven up the class
-Using magic to arouse interest, promote discovery and increase retention
-The importance of teaching aids
-The importance of excitement in teaching and learning
-Seeing things from children’s perspectives
-Teaching with love and concern
-How to motivate reluctant learners
-How to cater for gifted children
