Ways To Maximize Brain Potential In Kids | Riddhi Deorah

With him. So I started to track my days and I figured out that I was not sitting with him like for an hour together or anything, but I was taking, making use of every 10 minutes that I was finding between my working hours. So the 10 slots of 10 minutes is basically, you know, you sitting with your child 10 times, and every time you sit with your child, it's only for 10 minutes. So. And there is enough gap between the two slots. And every time you meet your child or you interact with your child, you do something positive. Because as mothers, you know, we really want this feeling that I did something good with my child today or I did something productive with my child today. Because if we go to bed, we feel very guilty, or today, whole day, I couldn't do with anything with my child. And you know, with that guilt, when we sleep, it becomes very difficult. And next we push it to the next, okay, fine, tomorrow, tomorrow I will do it. But then again, there is no guarantee that you're going to get that one hour again. So. So it's very easy if you can just sit with your child every 10 minutes that you get in between and do something fun with your child. Also, when we show up for our children more frequently, they are more happy, you know, because they feel that, okay, my mother is interested and she's showing care and she shows up for me and she does a lot of fun things with me. So when you do like 10 slots for 10 minutes, you're effectively spending hundred minutes with your child. Quality time, 100 minutes Quality time, and you're doing something productive. And if you can this consistently for even like three weeks, you can see like a huge progress in their overall vocabulary, the way they communicate, the way they understand things. Also, the stubbornness really goes down because now they are entertained. Because I think that kids mostly get irritated when they are not mentally stimulated when they have anything to keep them engaged. So that really irritates them or, you know, causes them to feel very anxious or they don't know what to do, basically. So if we can create those experiences for them by just very simple things like, you know, doing five new words with them or just coloring a picture or doing like some sensory activity, like a water play or something. Yes. Or dance music. So, you know, you can do whatever it is that you want in that 10 minutes, whatever your child enjoys. And sometimes, you know, just sitting and talking to them for 10 minutes, gender of like, really trying to teach them something without that agenda. You know, just sit and have a candid conversation with your child that, that Also really helps educate your child. So I think this really helps. It's really easy because there is no pressure on the parent to teach. There is no on the parent to stay patient for one hour and there is no pressure on the child to give you attention for one hour. So I think win, win for both the parent and the child. And even if you can't do 10 slots, all of us can do at least four to five slots. So I think four to five is also like, you know, good enough.

Yeah.

And is better than nothing. So you know, always say like it's more about the consistency than intensity. So you doing, you know, half an hour, 40 minutes every day is better than you trying to do three hours on one day. So this is something that parents can really use and it should work very effectively because I still, you know, my son is like five and a half. I still follow the same with him. So every time, you know, in the morning I do five new words with him. Then whenever I'm working, when I take a break, I sit with him for 10 minutes. Then I do something for one or two hours again I sit with him for 10 minutes and it really works out fine. And he's also entertained because he knows that, you know, every two hours I get to see my mother or every one and a half hour I get to do something fun with her. Correct? Yes. So I think this is something we can really use to entertain them and to engage them productively.

I think the fabulous point. So for all the parents watching, I think the biggest takeaway for me was because we follow a lot of this with Ticklewrite as well that children love shorter activities. It gets harder to even get their focus for longer things. Some topics they may not like. They will definitely not sit one hour, but they will sit for those 10 minutes.

Yes.

That they like, maybe they'll sit longer.

And that's amazing.

And as you said, it gives that parents also that bigger room. Especially working parents who find it hard who have so much associated guilt. You know, I feel guilty. And that quality time, consistent quality time is going to trump everything else.

Right. And also like even with homemakers, I've seen notice like because I have so makers that I'm talking to every day, like time is actually a problem for them also, you know, like, you know, working parents still have their lives little organized. Oh, they know that 9 o' clock I have to be at work by 6, I'm going to come back. So before night there for my child and after six I'm there for my child. But with homemakers, the problem is that, you know, it's like, totally taken for granted. And, you know, it's very difficult for them to sort of plan or structure their day properly. So for them also, you know, because so much commitment in the kitchen or showing up for guests and relatives and all of those things. So I think it works well for both, like homemakers and working moms that have two, two, three sisters. And they're all homemakers.

Lovely, lovely.

The real struggle, especially if you're in a joint setup, like, to find time exclusively for your child. Like, you definitely have time, but to find that exclusive time for your child can be a struggle sometimes.

I agree, I agree. You know, they say it takes a village to raise. That's. That's so true. Tell us. Sometimes I feel like parents find it hard to. Because they don't know what to do with the entire family. How can the family be, you know, a great help in raising the child? What are a few tips you can give our parents which will help them, you know, raise their kids? Especially they. If they live in a joint family or they have a lot of family support.

So in a joint family, you know, definitely depends on the kind of family you land up with. But of course, you know, asking really helps. Like, you know, some we just think it in our head and we feel that why are they not confident contributing? But sometimes, you know, people do not want to interfere unless asked. So, yeah, that you want them to contribute. If you want them to help, it's important that you ask them. That is second, in a joint family setup, you cannot always get everything the way you want it. Right. So certain things, I always tell parents that have a list of negotiables and non negotiables. So non negotiables are those three, four things that you really are very particular about, which you don't want to compromise on as a parent or. And non unnegotiables are, okay, this, I would love it if I got it, but I'm okay. Like, you know, I'm okay with letting go of a few things, like, you know, one extra mithai or one sweet if the grand. Then, you know, you cannot be very fussy about everything, because when you get fussy about everything, you actually end up getting nothing.

Nothing.

So it's very important that you have that list of non negotiables that, okay, these three, four things, and then you communicate it very effectively. Now, communication is the difficult part. How do I communicate? Friends, they might think that, you know, I'm trying to lecture there no, I'm trying to teach them how to be a good parent. And, you know, grandparents, of course, you know, they feel that, you know, we've done it, so we know it. And they come from a place of experience.

Most common. Most common that we get from everyone. You know, that.

In that case, you know, when you're communicating, the better thing to do is to ask them instead of telling them what to do. So then they feel involved. And when it's coming from them, they are more likely to act. So, you know, you can tell them that, you know, this is a situation that I'm going through. How can you really help me? What is it that we can do so you can tell them that, you know, I feel that his eyes are not like, you know, very like, you know, I think he's watching too much screen time. This is really troubling me. What can we do instead of just going and attacking them that, you know, don't give the food. Then they also get very defensive. So do not do it from a place of aggression or do it from a place, you know, where you feel that, you know, they are trying to sort of become parents. Instead, you go and, you know, do it, show them respect that, you know, I know that you love my child. I know that you want, want the good for him and you, you are doing it for him. But, you know, this is something that's really troubling me. And since you've already done it, so you will know better than me. So can you tell me what is it that we can do? Completely surrender and you give them full power to decide. They'll always, if not always, at least 90% come up with a solution which will be very close to the solution that you were expecting.

Yes.

Go at then what to do. I think 100%, you will definitely not get what you want. Yes, you're really lucky. You might still get it, but mostly you won't get it. Three things if you follow in a joint family setup, it helps. And also having that expectation that I cannot get the whole sky, you know, I. With getting a few things. Few things I'm okay with letting go of. Correct. Correct.

I absolutely agree. Apart from this, a lot of parents are always asking us. I feel that there is this sense of urgency and need where parents feel that they have to buy the expensive toys or all the toys, you know, to ensure great development in their children. Tell us why that could not be further away from the truth. Tell us how. What is your take on this?

Rather. Right. So of course, I just feel that see if you can can. There's no harm in buying, but it's definitely not something which is going to guarantee that your child is going to be intelligent or the cognitive development is going to be great just because your child is being exposed to those act like when we were growing up, I don't think that there were so many activities. Yeah. Remember having any of this when I was growing up. Me too. I don't think it is a necessity at all. And I feel that there are four things that, you know, like, you know, we used to play this game, name, place, animal thing when we were small. Right. So you know, name is basically people, people is animal thing. So I think all the learning can happen without you actually sitting in one spot maybe and without you having any activities at your disposal. So, you know, you look at people, you learn from people. Right. Because kids learn through observation. So you look at different people and you learn from every single person that you meet. Just like that. Our children look at different people and.

They don't know what to do with the entire family. How can the family, family be, you know, a great help in raising the child? What are a few tips you can give our parents which will help them, you know, raise their kids? Especially the if they live in a joint family or they have a lot of family support.

So in a joint family, you know, definitely depends on the kind of family you land up with. But of course, you know, asking really helps. Like, you know, some we just think it in our head and we feel that why are they not contributing? But sometimes, you know, people do not want to interfere unless asked.

It's very important that you have that list of non negotiables that okay, these Things, three, four things. And then you communicate it very effectively. Yeah. Now, communication is the difficult part. How do I communicate? Friends, they might think that, you know, I'm trying to lecture them or I'm trying to teach them how to be a good parent. And, you know, grandparents, of course, you know, they feel that, you know, we've done it, so we know it and they come from a place of experience. Right.

Most common, most comments that we get from everyone, you know, that.

They'll always, if not always, at least 90, come up with a solution which will be very close to the solution that you were expecting. Perfectly.

Yes.

What to do? I think 100. You will definitely not get what you want. Yes. You're really lucky. You might still get it, but mostly you won't get it. Three things. If you follow in a joint family setup, it helps. And also having that expectation that I cannot get the whole sky, you know, I with getting a few things. Few things I'm okay with letting go of. Correct.

Correct. I absolutely agree. Apart from this, a lot of parents are always asking us. I feel that there is this sense of urgency and need where parents feel that they have to buy the expensive toys or all the toys, you know, to ensure brain Development in their children. Tell us why that could not be further away from the truth. Tell us how. What is your take on this?

Rather. Right. So of course, I just feel that. See if you can. There's no harm in buying, but it's definitely not something which is going to guarantee that your child is going to be intelligent or the cognitive development is going to be great just because your child is being exposed to those act like when we were growing up, I don't think that there were so many activities. Yeah. Remember having any of this when I was growing up? B2. I don't think it is a necessity at all. And I feel that there are four things that, you know, like, you know, we used to play this game name place animal thing when we were small. Right. So, you know, name is basically people People is animal thing. So I think all the learning can happen without you actually sitting in one spot maybe, and without you having any activities at your disposal. So, you know, you look at people, you learn from people. Right? Because kids learn through observation. So you look at different people and you lear from every single person that you meet. Just like that. Our children look at different people and they meet and they learn from every different person that they meet. Then, you know, place. You take them to different places, to a restaurant, to a zoo, or to all those different experiences like a beach or a mountain. And our kids going to. Our kids learn looking at those places. Right. And just like that, they learn when they look at different things in the kitchen, when they look at different things in our living room. So it's, I think, an animal. Of course, you know, teach them empathy, sympathy, compassion, love, affection. I just feel that you don't really need those activities. If you have it, use it. But do not feel that if you are not exposing your child to those activities or those material, your child is not going to develop cognitively. And I think there are so many examples, like if you, if you go on the Internet and look at the history, I think most of the successful people came from very modest backgrounds and were not exposed to any of these expensive activities or toys. Right. It all depends on how stimulated your child is and how much can you really make your child fall in the process of learning.

That's absolutely right. Because as you said, research has shown over and over again that it's not only the expensive toys or manipulatives that make all the difference, but it's the interaction, that social interaction and the observation that comes along with it. So I think the game of name place animal things, sitting with Our friends fighting over it. You know, it did the same thing because there was so much interaction, so much learning, as you said, going, looking at the animals or the mountains provided us with the same sort of stimulation. And I think that helped us cognitively develop like leaps and bounds. So that was very, very lovely. Okay, moving on. One more thing. I think a lot of things post Covid parents saw a lot of behavioral changes riddhi in their children, you know, and that became a prime complaint. They said there was a lot of anxiety, a lot of tantrums, which seem to be more which they didn't probably experience with their first baby. But now it's coming and they find it harder because screen time has increased now to pull back, get them to do something, as you said, spend time with them. Parents are finding difficult. Could you provide us with a solution for the same?

Right, so it's either first, of course, the pandemic has been, has given us a lot of time to understand what we are inside, you know, to understand how we feel. And also before the pandemic, actually, you know, the situation has changed a lot. But after the pandemic, but before that, we were not spending that much time with our children, correct. Because the interaction was very low. So we were, we did not know, we did not feel it because the interaction was missing. Right. And now because we got an opportunity to spend, spend so much time with them, of course, you know, you're going to feel it more because earlier not even having that interaction because our lives were busy, you know, we were like out of the home, we were traveling, we were moving, we were doing so many things. Kids are generally the same, you know, they have go through their developmental stages because pandemic, of course, because they have not been able to go outdoor. The activities have gone down, social interactions have gone down. So the irritation has been there. But it's not just because of the pandemic. It's because now we feel it more. I don't, I'm being able to explain it. Correct.

I, I absolutely.

As though you didn't feel it now. It's nice you're feeling it now with the kids. Like it's not just about the children, it's about us also because now the workload on the parent has also gone up. So now earlier you were spending three hours trying to engage or interact or entertain your child, and now you're having to do three, the same thing for 10 hours. So for two, three hours, anybody can try and do something productive and positive with a child. But now if you have to do that for 10 hours, you don't know ideas, you don't know what to do because kids don't run out of energy. We ideas but they will not run out of energy. And that's the problem. So now you have to, you have to start getting very creative as parents. So that's just on my mission statement, confident, creative. And I think these three things we really need as parents. And I think creativity is the easiest because we all are very creative beings. So, you know, we need to be creative on the spot and figure out how can I really entertain my child or distract my child, buy time for myself, explain it to my child that this is something that you can do while I am doing this. Important that you figure out what is working for your child. And there is no like, you know, one idea fits all. So you really need to see what is it that your child likes, how they try and convince your child to do something different or what is it that is going to help your child feel good and then you do those things right. So and of course, and I feel like kids have really adjusted well and they are very quick at adapting to new situations. Like, you know, as adults we have struggled because there have been so many cases of mental depression, suicide, anxiety and you know, family divorce and all of those things. You know, actually kids have actually dealt with the situation a lot, I would say. But the thing is that, you know, when you are feeling low, you just don't know what to do. So, you know, you just blame.

Correct.

And the screen time which you mentioned, I feel that that is completely under parental control.

I think this is the biggest concern that we get from most. So tell us more.

So I think that screen, you know, it's like something, you know, out of sight, out of mind. If you are exposed child to the screen, of course your child would want it, right? Because it leads to dopamine release and they feel good, they feel pleasure and they feel all those, you know, they feel really good about it. So if you are tied to it, your child will definitely want it. And the mistake that we make is that, you know, for our convenience, we give it to them sometimes. And then when we feel it's getting too much, we want to take it away together. But it doesn't work like that. So with screen, I always meant that have a fixed pot, have a fixed device and have a fixed time. So if you can fix these three elements, then it really works. But fixing three elements requires a lot of effort from the parent, more than you know, because as parents we we have to be very strict about the limits and consequences that we set for them. So, you know, if you set a rule, you really need to follow through. You know, if you're setting a rule but you're not following through, then it's as good as not setting one. Because now your child will feel that, okay, my mom is just going to talk about it, but she'll give it to me when I want, or she'll give it to me when I cry, correct me when I'm not in a good mood. So that really, you know, makes it very unpredictable for them. Yes, very important to have a predictable structure around screen time. So for my son, I give him screen time because I believe that there is no running away from screen time. And also it's very easy for me to say screen mad though, because. But you know, like all of us are going through different experiences. Our lifestyles are very different, different professional personal commitments. So I think sometimes, you know, for your comfort, if you are also giving it, at least have a clarity about how much you're giving and how much you're okay with. So, you know, it's like a max full screen time. So you know, the plain piece of paper and you write on that piece of paper that the maximum permissible screen time that I'm going to give my child is let's say 40 minutes or one hour. Or if you have like very high professional commitment, don't have any other support, let's say you're giving for two hours, right? When you put that number on that sheet of paper, then just make peace with it because you fighting or just talking about is not going to help you. Right? You are just giving screen and then you are just going on talking screen and I am feeling guilty about it. So that is not right because it's not helping you, it's not helping your child. And whenever you give screen and give it with joy, don't like sit on your child's head and make you feel that you are doing something very wrong by looking at the screen.

Absolutely.

Be very conscious about the kind of content you're letting your child consume, what is your child watching and all of those things. So I think fixing time spot screen is very important and also fixing your maximum permissible screen time that you are okay with as a parent, without comparing what others are doing, feel that, you know, for me it's like 35 to 40 minutes that I allow my child. So now somebody is, has, has like more professional commitment or they have an online zoom meeting which is very important. Every single day, which they cannot avoid and they don't have any other support system, then in that, you know, you have a different maximum permissible screen time for your child and then you tell yourself that, okay, every day is going to be like this one and then you make peace with it and then, you know, try to do other stuff with your child when you have free time.

Yes, absolutely. So as you said, like children are creatures of habits. So if you set a routine for them, they know what to expect. Sticking to that routine can, I think, help parents resolve a lot of things, you know, question and it's, it's rather rare. And do you like, don't you ladies have the impression somebody asked, I'd really like to share this, that Indian children are more polite than European children or throughout the world or they have different levels of confidence. What is your take on this?

So I have not met too many European children or I've not done any research on this, but I just feel that kids mostly learn through observation and also they come with their own predisposition. So, you know, it's not only observation. So parenting is not unidirectional, it's bi directional. So you know, it's not about what the parent does to the child, but also about how the child absorbs it. So you know, you'll see like two siblings and they might be very different from each other. So the experience is the same. Schooling is same, education is same, but the siblings turn out very different. This is because come with their own unique temperament. So when we parenting, we just take a lot of pressure on ourselves and we feel that, you know, it's all about me as a parent, what I do with my child. But when you talk about parent child relationship, it's very different because now it's like a two way thing. It's bi directional and it's also coming from the child. You know, like what he's learning is also about what he really wants to learn. I that it would be right to say that Indian kids are more polite. I'm not sure about the statistics or the numbers here, but I don't think that there is any data which backs this up that, you know, Indian kids are more polite. I just feel that, you know, kids in general are trying to mirror what we do mostly. And even if they are, you know, like if they have this tendency of being a little stubborn or being a little, you know, adamant, it can be changed by actually modeling the right behavior for them, by staying calm, by understanding what they are going through, by holding space for them, you can gradually, you know, pull them out of that space and create like a more calm environment for your child. So I think it's more about what they are being exposed to and, and I think that would really influence how they really behave.

Wow. Wow. That, that was indeed very insightful.

Riddhi.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna, we're gonna wrap this live up with one question that I always, I like got a lot. Yesterday everybody asked, what is Mrs. Riddhi doing with her child? What, what do. What are the kind of things that you do with rv? And you would truly recommend them for all the parents at large. Maybe they're big topics or just concepts, what think or skills rather something that are non negotiables for the parenting coach herself.

So for me I think reading is one thing that I never compromise on. That is something that I do even if I'm having a very busy day or even if I'm traveling or I'm on a wedding or anything. I make sure that I read to him every single day. That is one thing. I think I've been reading to him since he was three months or something. And now he's also reading a few books himself, like the simple one. So reading is one thing. I used to do five new words with him every day. I still do it sometimes, whenever, but now he's five, five and a half. So he's a real moody. So sometimes he's not wanting to do it so I don't force him to do it. But that is something that I feel is again very good. Because if you type new words when your child is small and when you keep doing it, the vocabulary is really good. So when they start to read it becomes very easy for them to understand what the word is. You know, even if you teach phonics but if your child already has an idea about what the word is, it becomes very easy for your child to actually read. So these two things I definitely do. And then now I'm like doing a lot of online activities with him like skill master, like it's an abacus thing. So most of these activities are like online. I do everything online. There are no physical classes for physical. He's only doing like football because he loves football. So he football but online, you know, he does abacus which is like a 40 minute class and does chess and he's doing it because he likes to do it. And I'm gonna stop whenever he feels important. Yes. Then he does logic it which is 40 minutes. So here I'd done a post on this. In fact and I got a lot of hate comments also from a lot of parents that why are you putting so much right here? I want to say that I think it's not about you putting but what your child wants to do. So if I feel that my child is enjoying, in fact, you know, he tells me that I want to do more. So but now I've actually, I actually feel that okay, now he's doing enough. So I have one activity every day which is for 40 minutes because they have much time what to do. Right. And if your child is really interacting and engaging then why not? Right? Yes. And I have no nothing against you know, giving productive screen time because I there is no running away from screen and it saves a lot of time, you know, the commute and taking your child and you know, your child. Otherwise if I would have taken him for chess classes it would have taken me two, two and a half hours in a place like Delhi NCR. Correct. I can do in 35 to 40 minutes online.

So why not?

So why not? Right. You know, my child has more free time to play that, you know he do whatever he wants. Right. So yeah, so I do chess, logicids, abacus. Like these are some online classes that we are doing and art and craft. He really loves sketching. So what catching we do and yeah, and then one class on mycology which is again 40 minutes and about you know all those store ancient stories about Ram Lakshman, Sita Ramayan. So right now he's doing Ramayan.

Yes.

Yeah. So yeah, five days, 40 minutes. So every day 40, 40, 40 and otherwise like reading and five new words. And then you know, now he's five and a half so I don't really have to do much with him. He decides what he wants to do. But when he was all I was, I used to do a lot of things like you know, I used to follow this 10 slots of 10 minutes. Minutes. So I used to do play Doh. Then you know, blocks, Lego, all these open unstructured play. And then I think kids are very curious and creative themselves so they really figure out what they want to do. You know, you give them matchsticks, they'll sit and play with it for two hours or an empty box from the kitchen, you know, they'll figure out a game out of it. So you know they can be very creative on their own. So yesterday only my son was you know, mixing, seeing all his Lego pieces with some of these triangular magna tiles.

Okay.

Unique thing out. Right. So and then puzzles. So there is so much that you can do with your child. And there are these white act like, you know, There are these 101 activities that I came up with and they were like hand drawn and it was like very simple activities. All you need is like and colorful pension, a very simple thing that, you know, you draw lots of red dots on the paper, lots of green dots on the paper, lots of yellow dots on the paper. And then you just give your child three colored pens and tell your child that Sara yellow match karu. And you know, connect all the red dots and connect all the green dots.

Yes.

Find it very interesting. Then, you know, you draw shapes with different colors. And then I used to tell him that, you know, connect all the small triangles, connect all the big triangles together, connect all the medium sized triangles together. So, you know, just teaching the same thing. Small, big and large like but in a different way.

Basically concepts in a fun way.

Yeah, yeah, fun way. And you know, they love to sit with, you know, colorful pens and you know, some kids, not all kids, but you know, you know, and if you do it and also if your child is not doing it, this is something that I've tried with him. Like there were certain things that he didn't want to do. Like writing was something that he was not showing any interest in, understand? So I used to do was I used to sit and write and I used to just let him watch and to come to me and you should tell me, what are you doing? I should tell him that, please don't disturb me, I'm very busy. So when you create that FOMO for your child, you know, they really want to get involved. So, you know, now that they are not being invited, they want to do it, you know, so make that activity very desirable for them. They want to get involved, but when we keep pushing them or forcing them to do it, they just want to run away from it because they feel, oh my God, I just cannot. So everything that, you know, I noticed that he's not really interested in. Then I try to create a FOMO around it and I feel that, you know, he comes, wants to do it, but I'm not sure if this works for everybody. But yeah, it's definitely worth a try.
