Beyond the A star

Beyond the A star

 

When it comes to achieving, we aim for the best. But not everyone gets the best, some people compromise with better.

           Each kid undergoes the pressure to excel and get an A star. If the kids are moulded in the right direction from the beginning, then there are fair chances of reaching beyond A. But getting beyond A star is a challenge.

        The level of stress varies from kid to kid. It shoots up arrows from every possible direction- parents, schools, peers, siblings or anyone. But how do we handle it becomes a big task. Some kids get into depression and some face it to accomplish mission impossible.

          Few kids have this thought that smartness can lead to a path of success. But they face the reality later when the time would have crossed its wave.

         Intelligence alone cannot guarantee results. A combination of intelligence, hard work, smartness and perseverance can give the best outcome. Do you feel that you can get A star if you have all the mentioned characteristics?

                The answer is no. We have missed to mention about one important key factor here: Guidance. It plays a pivotal role in the path towards cherishing the dream of getting an A star. And that is why you need to walk in to cocoon land to get your booster.

                   We provide special guidance to the kids who desire to get an A star and showcase their excellence to everyone. The goal comes with a path full of thrones and those who cross it reach excellence.

“Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.”

Dreaming is good but living your dream is the best. Just sitting in your cosy chair dreaming about A star will not fetch results. Instead laying the basement with each small step will make the building stronger. Steps taken towards realising your dream leads to the dream itself.

         Let us explore your weakness and fill the flaws with the extra efforts to reach a level beyond A star. Dream big and let’s combine our endeavours to chase your dream and turn it to reality.

World of challenges- how prepared are you?

World of challenges- how prepared are you?

Each day is a battle and the one who crosses all hurdles becomes the ruler. The below quote has been the trend from eras.

“Survival of the fittest”

Reading the quote seems like piece of cake but when we face it for real is a sticky wicket. The world around us is full of twists and turns. And soon we get to one turn, there comes another unexpected.

               So the real question that arises is “Are we prepared to face it?” The answer depends on how you have psyched-up from the stage one. The struggle of getting through arises at every step be it a small game, a class test, a job or it could be anything.

           The preparation begins within your mind to be confident and optimistic at all situations. Our mind is the most powerful source we have. But it all depends on how we utilise our powers.

             Cocoon land is a one-stop solution provider to all your queries. Yes, we are versatile and we take measures to make our butterflies versatile too.

            We conduct different programmes to excavate the hidden talents in kids. We offer various interactive sessions to discuss the difficulties faced by each kid. As a part of confidence building programme, extempore games are conducted. We streamline each kid’s performance at the end of each term in order to showcase the progress.  

         Challenge becomes just a word when you are fully prepared to face it.  The preparation to get through matters. Each kid requires a different kind of preparation and is dependent on the calibre.

           “We don’t grow when things are easy; we grow when we face challenges. “

When we see our kids face any challenge, we immediately jump to save him/her. But instead we should make the kid stand on his own and face it. This is one way of making our kid stronger and confident enough to handle things on his own.

       We follow a similar kind of approach to build confidence to reach beyond imagination. Come, be a part of cocoon land and pave your own path to break the blocks in it. 

Be the best, beat the rest

Be the best, beat the rest

Standing on a cliff ready to jump, can you feel the adrenaline rush???

            

Kids face the same adrenaline rush when they write their examinations. Have you seen the elated faces when they finish their examinations and come back home? The tired faces would reflect zillions of expressions apart from exhaustion.

                One of the toughest things is to maintain a top most position in all fields. Being the best is not a day’s job but is a topsy-turvy journey to be marked. A passage full of thorns and stones to be traversed to reach the ultimatum. There will always be negativity when you move forward in the right direction. It is up to you to ignore or get affected by the adversity.

                       Cocoon land brings out the forbidden flairs in each kid as we believe in them. Every kid would have a unique style to express, we identify that style and nurture it so that they become the master of it.

                      Mastery is not a title to achieve but is a challenge to strive through all hurdles and reach a state of limelight. It doesn’t pop out all of a sudden, it comes from practise. We let the kids practise the skills of their choice through various methods. We create case studies to simulate situations for kids to hon their skills.

               Motivation and proper guidance are important factors for the kids to excel in every given opportunity. Parents are the most influential people in a kid’s life. They will be a big factor in motivating the kid. We help parents to identify the talents of the kid and also encourage them to motivate the kid towards the ultimatum.

            The journey to excel in all aspects and become the best of the rest comes with lots of halting roads.  The blocks in the path can be filled with perseverance and being confident till the end.

                  Here at Cocoon land, we provide proper guidance to the kids towards excellence. We contribute in the toughest journey of the kids by strengthening their skills and making them stand on their own in the wildest storms. Thus making the roots stronger and cocksure.

                  Explore this stupendous journey to reach the milestone by joining us!

          

Are you a smart working kid?

Are you a smart working kid?

 

There was a survey with the top bosses in the world. They were asked a same question. Do you prefer an employee working long and hard or an employee who completes his work during office hours? What do you think was their replies?

                           Yes!!! You guessed it right, most preferred the latter than former. Today there is no charm when you say that you are a hard worker, rather you are respected when you work smart.

“Wherever smart people work; doors are unlocked”

                 

             Smartness isn’t something which comes out of the blue. It has to be nurtured from childhood.  The thought process of a smart person is towards completing the tasks in a quick and easy way.

            For kids, the most stressful thing is to complete the tasks and submit the assignments on time. When they are able to find an easy and quick solution to the assigned tasks they get time to concentrate on other aspects like recreation.

                 Every kid likes to play outdoors in some way or the other but the demands of education often keeps them glued to their text books leaving no time for co-curricular activities. In Cocoon land we teach kids smarter ways to complete their tasks.

                        We use innovative techniques to trigger the thought process of the kids to find easy ways to an assigned task. These techniques help them on narrowing down on the options before them and also helps them in choosing the right one.

                   Find pairs game develops the memory power of the kid. It also helps the kid to use same strategies for similar problems. This similarity identification will help them in solving similar problems using the same technique thereby helping them in completing the task on time.

         When you see a kid doing any smart thing next time, do admire, appreciate and encourage him develop his thought process. Let us be instrumental in developing our kid’s future. Our every step is a giant leap towards his future.

                   Let us unite in the journey to boost up your efforts in shaping the future of your kids. A butterfly is born from a cocoon and we would like to create a kaleidoscope of butterflies.

Role of family and parents in motivating kids to excel in studies

Role of family and parents in motivating kids to excel in studies

                                 

Motivation is not just a word but when initiated correctly can bring wonders.

“Family is like music, some high notes, some low notes but together it’s always a beautiful song.”

Today’s generation has a mind like glass – crystal and clear. The kids are well aware of their aspirations but what exactly needed is an extra guidance to reach the goal.

                  

           At this point arises the role of family and especially parents. Kids feel extra special when they are motivated and given appreciations for small things they do. It acts like a spark in the minds to work hard towards achieving their goals.

           We at cocoon lands conduct parent-teacher interactions to know about the initiatives taken from the parent’s end and how it can be improvised. Family plays a vital role in the upbringing of kids in every aspect. Parents should show interest in motivating the kid to try and experiment different methods of learning. This can bring a sense of responsibility in kids towards studies.

“Together we learn & together we grow”

                          

 The above motto should be inculcated in every family and this makes the bond between family stronger. At every stage, kids expect a little external stimulus in the form of motivation. It can be a gimmick in the growth and development of the brain. It is a proven fact that the kids encouraged by their families show betterment in studies as well as in life.

Lack of communication – a hurdle in your career?

Lack of communication skill – a hurdle in your career?

                                                     

Gone are the days when we communicated using actions and drawings in the wall.

            We have come a long way from the Stone Age where early man spoke to each other only through drawings on the wall. Those drawings not only left an indelible mark on the wall of caves but also stressed the importance to communicate our thoughts and feelings.

              Profound communicators have ruled the world from the pre-historic times. Today communication has become an important aspect in the career growth graph. Greatest theories in the world are brought to light by communicating it to others.

                           Everybody aspires to communicate their thoughts clearly to others, Himalayas was not conquered on a single day it takes a long time and a lot of effort to get a clear communication. We at cocoon lands help your kids walk on the path of effective communication by laying the important foundation.

                                 We use different methods to invoke the thought process which sets the wheel of imagination running. We also help the kids to transform their thoughts into words and in turn to actions. When we are able to convey our thoughts clearly to others we are seen as an epitome of good communication.

                   Cocoon land will be your stepping stone in your path towards good communication. Imagine your kids participating in an oratorical competition, expressing his ideas to a massive crowd. Doesn’t this very thought give you a sense of pride?

Good handwriting in the age of computers

Good handwriting in the age of computers

                

“Handwriting describes the clarity of mind”

Yeah!! It’s true kids. Your handwriting shows the real you in your conscious and subconscious mind. No matter how smart you are externally, the way you present it in writing matters. Graphology- the study of handwriting, throws light on the fact that your handwriting determines your behavior, character and mental strength.

                Does it sound convincing to change your bad handwriting into good? Oh yes!! It does matter to write in a neat and legible manner. It gives a good impression to the reader if your writing is clear and readable. And so let me share a secret with you: it has an effect on your marks as well.

                 Each kid has a unique style of writing but for sure it can be improvised if you wish. As we know handwriting is “Brain’s writing”, We at cocoon lands give importance to it and provide you with an intensive exposure towards improvising your handwriting to fetch better grades.

                 Nowadays kids are more attracted towards computers and so have less interest towards writing. Typing has become more interesting for kids. But the fact is handwriting activates the brain cells towards visually analyzing each letter we write and thus improves more complex motor and cognitive skills.

            In comparison, keyboarding doesn’t help in development and understanding of alphabets or numbers. As there is no direct writing and it’s all virtual. A recent study shows that kids who are least exposed to keyboarding and prefer writing have better mental growth and good motor skills.

        Good writing is proved to be a platform towards success in all walks of life. Thus, it is very important to inculcate the habit of writing in a neat and legible manner from the earlier stage of life.

“The earlier, the better.”

          

               

  

            

     

Better communication skills for kids- why and how?

Better communication skills for kids- why and how?

 

“Success Gravitates a Person who communicates effectively”

Communication is the art of sharing your ideas and views with others.   

If it is not effective, then it can lead to false impression and sometimes confound others. The need for good communication arises from the early stage to grow up as an effective speaker.

                                          In this era, a new technology is born every day. And so are the ways of developing our communication skills. We at cocoon lands mould your raw skills to a well-shaped outcome. We inculcate different ideologies that are required to sharpen your communication skills.

                         Kids have the craving to share every happening around them in a more detailed manner, so it is very much a mandate to have effective communication skills.

                                  We engage kids with interesting challenges to make them communicate in a better and efficient manner. The different strategies include a self-assessment module followed by strength and weakness analysis in terms of communication.

                                   After understanding the level of each kid, various methods are executed based on the level. In order to cultivate the art of effective communication, various techniques are introduced like group discussions, code breaker games, grammar quiz and many more.

Code breaker games- does it sound fascinating?

Yes! It is indeed very interesting. In this, a role play is performed by kids like a day-to-day conversation and others have to follow the entire conversation to understand the hidden code. If any kid has understood the code, then he/she can break the conversation by telling the code.

Sounds cool? It’s fun when you experience it yourself. If playing a game can make you an awesome speaker, then what are you waiting for? Come and explore this fun.

Talk….in a way that everyone around you craves to listen.

                    

Fun ways and ideas to engage kids to do their homework

Fun ways and ideas to engage kids to do their homework

“No homework”…. Yeah!! You read it right.

For sure, this turns on all the sparks of joy from inside.

                       As a kid, homework simply means ‘Half Of My Energy Wasted On Random Knowledge’; but is it true? Homework plays a pivotal role in the process of learning. We understand the importance of homework and we make it an interesting experience. Apart from learning in the classroom, revising the things learnt plays a major part in achieving greater heights beyond imagination.

           We at Cocoonlands provide a congenial and energetic environment for the kids to develop interest in learning new things. We have various modules for different age groups to captivate the minds of children to do homework.

            As a part of our system, we employ play-way techniques to attract the children towards learning. Interactive sessions with teachers are incorporated to discuss problems that are faced by each individual. Moreover, group discussions among peers are also encouraged to develop a team building skills and also to get multiple solutions for a particular problem.

                Homework is divided into small modules. Each module is given a deadline to finish and also given different strategies to be followed. The kids are free to choose the strategy. We analyze the performance of each individual and based on the requirements, the strategies are changed.

             The main motive is to reduce the stress on the minds of children and make them consider homework a friendly source of learning.

            It is said “Time and Tides wait for none”. Here, we develop time management skills in children which encourage on-time completion of any given task.

     Each step is a new chapter in learning and even the smallest step taken becomes a milestone in the journey of learning. And here, we provide a ray of light to reach the destination.

         We believe each kid is unique so we follow exclusive techniques to bring out the best in them. It is a known fact that homework is very essential in the education system and that is why we help in adding this essence in them.

Come, let’s learn and explore new horizons rather than being a bookworm.

             Learn, Revise, Test and Make it happen!!!
