Come along:

 All…but one stands in a circle…players standing three feet apart and facing.

Have each player mark the place where he stands.

Place the extra player on the outside of the circle.

The extra player goes around the circle…..touching one or more player as he passes them.

When he touches a player, he says….come along.

The player at once leaves the circle and follows behind the first player.

In this way those who have been touched follow the first player.

This goes until there are six or eight players following the first.

When he says 'go home' each of the player including the first player then attempts to get any on the circles not necessarily the one he started.

The player who fails to get a place now starts the game.

Is Your Child Suffering

Is Your Child Suffering From Depression or Anxiety?

Mental Health Professionals identified parental pressure to perform in exams as the prime reason for depression and anxiety in children.

Education system should have a mechanism in place to systematically identify and scientifically deal with such conditions in adolescent children.

They should be teach any life skills, psycho-social competencies. There should have a mechanism to identify multiple intelligences of children.

This would probably prevent parents and teachers from putting pressure on everyone to become an engineer or a doctor.

Young minds should be convince that they are worth much more than their grade sheets.

Right from class one, a child must be encouraged to think creatively, differently and should be emboldened to analyse concepts and situations. This would lay the foundations of a confident, self-assured personality.
