When you squeeze an orange, you get an orange juice because that’s what inside. The very same principle is true about kids. When guardians nurture their talents and bring out the best in them, what comes out is what’s their deep driving desire is!



Creativity flourishes in a free, pleasant environment and is an inborn inner will of acceptance for an activity to perform that needs motivation. Come Summer and it's time to 'Spoon feed Creativity' and boost up the confidence in the child. The 'push n pull' method applied by many parents to get them 'hooked up' to a particular Activity of their choice lets the kid inferior. Kids have their own mental capabilities and pushing them too much forth burdened with many activities at a time, make them only indecisive. Confidence comes with an attitude gearing ahead with appreciation, praise and clear mindset. Each child has own ways of learning and flowering to bloom in his own pace. Some are slow branded whereas some are fast learners. Each kid has “developmental schedules” and they represent what the large majority of children are able to do at a particular age. Kids only require the right-guided direction, motivation and encouragement. All cannot afford the vitamin 'M' too and its no use following a 'Herd Mentality' to make the kid engage to acquire skills at a Summer Coaching camp just because other kids do so. Parental Influence plays a big role, after all!
