It's very important for children's development that we impart the right methodologies of education especially during such unprecedented times. Many families have turned to remote learning as a solution while staying connected with educators through available technologies, such as the Klassly App (Kids+class+family).
Depending on the needs of the parent, any or all of the following strategies can be applied to impart education in a fun and productive way.
• Guidance through Speech:
o Positive reinforcement methodology. Any form of reward or recognition leads to confidence building.
o Pass the ownership to the child, making him/her the leader.
o Voice modulation strategy. This is very important as it leads to understanding different emotions at an early stage.
o Avoid using negative connotations and comparisons unless required.
o Motivate the interest area of the child, be it a game or an activity. This will help them ace in their aspirations.
• Guidance by Actions:
o Motivate the child to create his/her art forms; this will give them a sense of achievement.
o Always apply “the Less is More” concept while helping your child.
o Train the child to come up with their own solutions to problems thereby improving their cognitive abilities.
o Define limits where necessary, thereby imposing a sense of discipline.
o Allow the child to observe and have his interpretation of a particular situation or action.
The above-mentioned strategies will give better results in improvising the learning process of a child if applied during activities and play.
The educator & the facilitator must be on the same page to implement the same strategies While following activities planned by the teacher.
Technology has played a vital role in enabling a smooth transition and that's where an application like Klassrly helps. The application allows parents and teachers to have smooth communication, so customizing and sharing activities is just a click away. There are many advantages to being a part of a Klassly community.
The experience of working with young children during covid-19 (specifically in India, but also some challenges that could be shared by educators and parents around the world):
This year has been very different concerning all aspects, and especially education as no one was prepared for 100% remote schooling. People in India are still getting used to the concept of home schooling/online schooling. Thanks to applications like Klassly, preparing for a class has been much easier.
It's crucial for children's development to build a strong curriculum of activities based on the 5 senses and re-sense them again over- time as it lays the foundation of early childhood education. In order to have the best education and to have a strong base, being able to appeal to most of a child's senses
during remote learning is made easier through an app like klassly, as teachers can send voice notes, videos, assign and review activities in their homes and much more.
