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!

Footprints : A vision that we all need to possess! How oft, faith leaves behind trails...... 

March had been the first month on the early Roman calendar and was called Martians. Later, the ancient Romans made January the beginning of the year and March became the third month with 31 days and its name honors Mars, The Roman God of War. In India, Holi is round the corner and on the full moon day of the month of Phalgun when the Ashoka trees and Mango trees are in bloom, when the foliage buds of leaf almond are long and slender against the blue and when the scarlet plumes of the Palash stand out on its naked branches - Here comes Holi and its Colors of Love, colors of Life. It's time to paint the town red and spread the message of love - colors fill live with beauty and leave lasting impressions on minds. Your liking for different colors reveal your moods and personality. Check this out and Paint the town Red with Kidsfreesoul ideas.



Happy Holi - Enjoy! Keep the Faith!

The Parents and Teachers should support the child with the cycle of setting and achieving goals that are meaningful enough to motivate them to carry them out. Not make them adopt to the activities of their own choice for which the child do not have interest. Here are some tips to 'Set the Goals' - Get Going...
