Helping our young ones to look at possibilities in life and in everything they say, do or think develops a better self esteem in them. It also builds creativity and critical thinking skills. Happy Parenting!!!

Vitamin D the soluble vitamin is not only known for building bone strength in the body it is also linked at keeping away the depression. Latest research has shown that it also helps keep brain more active and helps in fighting dementia, Alzheimer and other cognitive impairments. It also helps in mood regulation and helps the mind focus and learn better.

So we Dolphinites just get up go to the terrace and lie in the sun and read! Happy learning! Do share what you do with your young ones!!!

Snacking while learning is for sure lots of fun. But brain can be very tricky in the sense it can associate learning with eating and cause distractions to keep us from learning. However when done moderately good it can help us keep the learning going for a longer period of time! Happy learning!

We at Dolphins seek to travel through historic times to find cultural parallels and similarities thank seeking differences. For in these parallels do we actually understand and experience cultures and ethnicity! Seeking to understand and developing cultural understanding, can we learn to move away from racial biases, discrimination or appropriation and lead a more harmonious and inclusive life!!!

If you are happy and you know it clap your hands!
If you're happy and you know and you really want to show it clap your hands!

If you're angry and you know it stomp your foot!

Emotional intelligence starts with becoming aware of the emotions and then regulating and managing them. Identifying the emotions are easy. However when we are gripped in its intensity it may not always be easy to regulate it and manage it. We Dolphinites understand this really well. This playful way helps facilitate mindfulness and develop emotional intelligence.

Attention and emotions are like the tops. Just the way you clear the area before you spin the top on the ground, so does the learning environment requires a clutter free or distraction free environment.

The top can only spin for a certain amount of time. So does attention, lasts only a certain amount of time. However just the way the top can be repeatedly spun so can attention and focus can be repeatedly brought back to the here and now.

This is called mindfulness practice of focused attention. We Dolphinites practice it regularly. We learn through playing with tops to understand the attention and then learn by observing the top till it stops. We then try this technique while learning. How do you practice your focused attention???

“Make each day your masterpiece.” – John Wooden

We at Dolphins Pod take every living moment to do our best. As we understand that yesterday was spent and we learned and we are richer in knowledge for today. Tomorrow is another day that is yet to come and the present moment is the gift that we can give to ourselves for then the rewards will be amazing. It’s just that simple.

What is your affirmation for the Day?

“A half truth is a whole lie.” -Yiddish Proverb

If you sow honesty, you reap trust! We at Dolphins Pod take every opportunity to sow honesty in our young ones by modelling Honest behaviour.

That starts from us being completely honest about our feelings, thoughts, actions, fears, drive and our motivations.

What is your expression of Honesty?

Seeing Eye to Eye is easy. We at the Dolphins pod practice and learn to see heart to heart.

Heart is the centre of our being and we dolphinites are all heart beings.

Mind, cognition and feelings also matter and hence we practice all three forms of Empathy. The Compassionate Empathy is what we strive for constantly.

What is your type of empathy?
