Positive parenting How feedback affects a childs emotional and general wellbeing

The goal of positive parenting is to use feedback to support a child's mental health, resilience, and sense of self-worth. Professionals offer advicePositive parenting focuses on providing feedback to foster a child's self-esteem, build resilience, and promote mental well-being since the words we use to lead our children have a significant impact on their mental health. Children's self-image and self-esteem are shaped by our words and nonverbal cues, and this formative experience also serves as the foundation for the inner dialogue that they carry into adulthood.Mansi Poddar, a trauma-informed psychotherapist, said in an interview with HT Lifestyle: "When feedback emphasizes effort and progress, it supports a child's attempts and celebrates their growth. This enhances self-esteem and confidence. Say something more precise, like, "I loved how you used different colors in your drawing," rather than just "good job."Mansi Poddar declared, "This fosters a love for learning and self-motivation," adding that receiving positive feedback makes learning and accomplishments truly enjoyable. Remind a young person of their efforts by saying something like, "I see you practiced your piano piece, it sounds great!" When parents give their children feedback that acknowledges their feelings, the child learns to recognize and control their emotions. By doing this, emotional intelligence is developed. Pay attention to how their actions impact you: “It makes me happy when you share your toys.”"When we celebrate effort after challenges, it helps to increase a kid's resilience," the speaker continued. Saying something as basic as, "I know that test was hard, but you kept trying!" can have a significant impact. Here, kids discover that errors are opportunities rather than disappointments. This strengthens resilience and the capacity to overcome obstacles."Mindful relating can be the nourishing soil for the development of children," noted Sandy Dias Andrade, psychotherapist and founder-director of the Just Being Center for Mindfulness and Presence, adding her knowledge to the same. Their self-talk translates as "I'm not ok" or "I'm not perfect" and "I have to be a particular way to be accepted and loved" or "I'm not good enough" when we are harsh, critical, or impatient with them.The speaker came to the following conclusion: "In some ways, it validates who they are at a deeper level of being when we are encouraging, soothing, and truly see their efforts, their traits, that are not just reflected in our words but also in our eyes, through our touch, and in how we relate to them. People feel accepted for who they are. As a result, kids develop an innate ease and confidence in themselves, in their interactions with others, and in the world, exactly as they are. We serve as reflections of their inner selves.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court is now scrutinizing other sponsors and advertisers of dishonest food and health product ad campaigns, after Patanjali.Advertisers shall submit self-declaration forms certifying their compliance with cable TV laws and advertising standards prior to airing adverts, according to a bench made up of Justice Hima Kohli and Justice A. Amanullah that declared this on Tuesday.

Five openers who are changing T20 cricket in the IPL 2024

What is the connection between Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Jake Fraser-McGurk? In the Indian Premier League (IPL) for 2024, all three of the openers have strike rates more than 200. More than 12 runs per over, that is. Additionally, they have healthy averages of 41, 53, and 36, respectively, indicating that they have made significant runs—not just cameos—contributing to the team.With strike rates of 183 and 182, respectively, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) openers Sunil Narine and Phil Salt are a little lower than the other three. However, their methods and outcomes are comparable. Their respective healthy averages are 38 and 40.The carefree mindset exhibited by these batsmen has altered anticipations regarding the potential of Twenty20 cricket. On strong batting surfaces, one can expect scores of over 240 in 20 overs at a rate of 12 an over, and over 90 in the 6-over powerplay at a rate of 15 an over.It's no longer unusual to swing the bat from the opening ball of the inning in a baseball fashion. With the exception of bowler-friendly wickets that challenge batting technique, the traditional elbows-up approach is disappearing.Power hitters are warming up for sixes rather than boundaries during practice. To continue pounding the ball for extended periods of time, they are also developing their muscle memory.  

Sanya Malhotra claims her mother took her to an astrologer in order to discourage her from acting, and the casting director advised her to get jaw reconstructive surgery.

The actor Sanya Malhotra talked candidly about the difficulties she encountered in her career, such as casting directors' critical remarks and her mother's lack of encouragement. Despite her mother taking her to "pandits" who thought she would be better suited for a profession in a bank, Sanya claimed in an interview that she was always endowed with the highest level of confidence and felt she would succeed as an actor or dancer.In an interview with online sensation Uorfi Javed for her podcast, Sanya talked about how self-assured she was when it came to her acting career in Mumbai and how she refused to wear cosmetics to auditions. When asked if she had any unpleasant memories from the years, she replied, "I still remember jaw reconstruction." I thought, "What?""They don't say anything now," she went on. But I'm aware of my perfection! I have so much confidence that it's beyond words. Naturally, though, it varies. It throws off especially during periods. I also have endometriosis, and my ovaries contain a cyst. However, I was so self-assured that I used to attend auditions in Mumbai without wearing makeup or hair. I was certain that my acting alone would get me the job. Of course I had a moustache in school. I responded to a youngster who made fun of me by saying, "Well, you don't have one. " I was certain I would become a heroine even at that young age.When asked if her parents had given her any criticism, Sanya replied, "They were both quite supportive. My mother insisted that I complete my schooling before anything else. She wished for me to do my post-graduation studies. My father was, to my surprise, more supportive. However, my mother brought me to see at least three pandit jis, all of whom advised against acting and that this wasn't the right path for me. My mother was informed that I will major in economics and work at a bank. That's not conceivable, I said.The 2016 movie Dangal, the highest-grossing Indian film ever, marked Sanya's feature film debut. Since then, she has acted in the highly regarded films Pagglait, Badhaai Ho, Pataakha, and Photograph. She starred in three films in 2023: the biographical Sam Bahadur, the comedy Kathal, and the blockbuster hit Jawan.

Pratibha Ranta discusses the parallels between her characters in Heeramandi and Laapataa Ladies. The feeling was the same.

Actor Pratibha Ranta recently talked about her experience filming Heeramandi, the web series by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and the movie starring Kiran Rao.The actor Pratibha Ranta appeared in two very different characters in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar and Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies. She did, however, grasp onto a resemblance between her characters while speaking with Indian Express. (Also Read: Interview with Pratibha Ranta: I get excited when girls tell me they can identify with my role in Laapataa Ladies.)Pratibha portrayed Jaya in Laapataa Ladies, a young lady from a traditional household who gets married off against her will. She portrayed Shama in Heeramandi, a stunning little girl who is the envy of her mother, prostitute Waheeda (Sanjeeda Sheikh)."I was able to experience a different world when I went to shoot for Heeramandi," Pratibha added, describing the experience as a "magical one." Heeramandi had a large set, and I found that the two characters' approaches were very dissimilar. Jaya has a guarded demeanor. She deliberates for a long time before acting. She is, however, observing. This is what she is doing, which is why she has four eyes. Thus, all of that was something I used to consider when getting ready for Jaya's role. She did, however, see a commonality throughout her roles—the need for independence. "But, in the end, it was the same emotion to get that freedom that I have to do what I have to do," the woman remarked.Despite being an urban girl, Pratibha said she could identify to her role in an interview with Hindustan Times following the premiere of Laapataa Ladies. She asserted, "She is unwavering in her conviction and speaks up for herself when no one else does." What's not to connect? Additionally, I saw parallels between her experience and mine. I knew I wanted to be an actress, even though my family thought I should pursue something else. To pursue my aspirations, I moved to Mumbai from Shimla. Like her, I've always insisted on having autonomy over my own life. I had a strong feeling that I could be her.
