मूल जन्माला येते तेव्हा त्याच्यावर सभोवतालच्या परिसराचा प्रभाव पडतो. आई-बाबा, आजी-आजोबा हा इतकाच त्याचा परिसर. मूल आपल्या कुटुंबातील लोकांचे निरीक्षण करत असते. जसे, की ते कसे बोलतात, कसे वागतात यावरूनच ते मूल बोलायला, वागायला शिकते. जसजसे मूल मोठे होत जाते ते त्याच्या आजूबाजूला वावरणाऱ्या इतर लोकांमध्ये, मित्रांमध्ये मिसळू लागते. यातूनच आपुलकी, जिव्हाळा, प्रेम या गोष्टी ते शिकत जाते. सोबतच इतरांना मदत करणे, मोठ्यांचा आदर करणे, छोट्यांना आधार देणे अशा बऱ्याच गोष्टीही ते शिकत असते. परिसर त्याच्या आयुष्यातील दुसरा महत्त्वाचा घटक म्हणून अनेक नवनव्या गोष्टींची भर घालत असतो. परिसरात वावरत असताना घरातील लोकांपेक्षा, त्याच्या आई-बाबांपेक्षा वेगळे वागणे, बोलणे मुलाच्या कानावर पडत असते. मग ते कधी चांगले तर कधी वाईट असते. या गोष्टींचा त्याच्या मनावर कसा परिणाम होतो, हे त्याच्यावर होत असलेल्या किंवा आई-बाबांकडून मिळणाऱ्या संस्कारांवर अवलंबून असते. यातूनच त्याची सामाजिक जडणघडणही व्हायला सुरुवात होते. मुलाचा सर्वांगीण विकास होण्यासाठी त्याच्या जीवनात शाळा अत्यंत प्रभावशाली ठरते. शाळेमध्ये साजरे होणारे विविध दिन जसे, की स्वातंत्र्य दिन, प्रजासत्ताक दिन, महात्मा गांधी जयंती हे राष्ट्रीय सण साजरे केल्यामुळे त्याच्या मनामध्ये देशप्रेमाची भावना निर्माण होण्यास मदत होते. शिवजयंती उत्सव साजरी केल्यामुळे छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराजांचे आचार, विचार त्याच्या मनात प्रेरणा निर्माण करतात. तसेच वाचन प्रेरणा दिवस, शिक्षक दिन यामुळे साहजिकच मुलाला वाचनाची, अभ्यासाची गोडी लागते आणि शिक्षकांबद्दलची ओढही निर्माण होते. एखादे ध्येय ठरवून ध्येयापर्यंत पोहोचण्याचा मार्ग मिळावा, यासाठी या गोष्टी मुलांच्या जीवनात खूप महत्त्वाच्या भूमिका बजावतात. शाळेमधूनच मुलांच्या शैक्षणिक सहलींचे आयोजन केले जाते. यामध्ये गड किल्ल्यांना भेटी दिल्या जातात. या भेटींमधून ऐतिहासिक गोष्टींची माहिती मिळते तसेच निसर्गदर्शन घडते आणि त्यांच्या मनात निसर्गाबद्दलचे प्रेम वाढीस लागून त्याचे महत्त्व समजते.…

When someone talks about discipline the immediate thought that runs across a brain is military. Immediately a picture of a military march past or drill stands in our brain and awestruck we say what a disciplined drill this is. Well, let's define discipline. The dictionary or literal meaning of discipline is – “The discipline is training aimed at improving physical power, strengthening self-control, producing obedient people.” In simple words, it can be explained as doing what is told to us and strictly following or obeying the given instructions Discipline isn't some magical gene you get from your parents. It's a skill you learn, just like riding a bike. And guess what? Everyone can learn it! It is an acquired quality. Every parent must inculcate in their child the quality called discipline. Discipline isn't about being a robot. It's about having the willpower to do what you know is right, even when it's tough. It's about getting that extra push to finish your homework, even when your mind gets diverted to a new video game or instances like it. We all learn the most when we're young. It's like our brains are sponges, soaking up everything around us. That's why parents have a big job when it comes to teaching their kids about discipline. Imagine a little kid learning things like - setting a bedtime routine, helping with chores, or practicing a musical instrument. These might seem like small things, but over time, they add up. They teach kids the value…

As humans, we have five senses: smell, touch, vision, hearing, and taste. To utilize these senses properly in our day-to-day activities with proper coordination, we need motor skills to manage sensory stimulation. Sensory and motor skills are two sides of the same coin, which go hand in hand to develop a child's growth during their learning age. Sensory motor skills are the pillars for all learning throughout life. Through these skills, children develop their cognitive thinking and understanding levels. They interact with their world through playing, crawling, walking, learning balancing, completing given tasks, problem-solving, and coordinating their activities visually. For this, children need proper guidance from their parents and teachers during the learning stage. Therefore, sensory motor skill education becomes important for early childhood. Children learn new things through their senses of touch, vision, hearing, taste, and smell. Motor skills help sensory organs to coordinate the body's parts. Muscle strength, gross, and fine motor skills play important roles in motor skill development. If any sensory organ doesn't work properly in children, they can struggle to continue learning at the same speed as other children of the same age. So, motor skill development is a crucial aspect of children's early learning stages. Motor skills establish cognitive development. They help children complete their daily physical activities, setting up all sensory organs to collaborate. It improves attention span and application levels by doing activities like tying shoe laces, wearing socks easily, holding pencils properly, lifting things properly, and building attentiveness. Locomotor skills include…
