HI MY SON IS JUST PASSED STD 7, JUST I WANT TO KNOW IN MATHS CONCEPTS ARE NOT CLEAR, SO HE IS NOT GETTING THE GOOD MARKS, HOW TO DEVLOPE HIS CONCEPT TO CLEAR IN MATHS, EVEN HE IS DOING EVERY SUMS THRE OF FOUR TIME, BUT WE ARE VERY WORRY TO HIS RESPONECE AND VERY DISAPOINTED, PLS SUGGEST...

Ans: Hi!! Whenever a child is not understanding Maths, its always because of the adults ,who are unable to teach him in a way he or she understands. You are in luck , the summer holidays have begun, take one chapter at a time and explain the concepts to your child in a way he understands. Go to the very basic level and then increase the difficulty level.( be very encouraging and understanding, show lots of patience, the bigger goal to help him understand and score marks) Some children learn visually, some learn by listening, some learn by doing practically. It's called the VAK method , use all three ways of teaching your child. Complete the Maths syllabus before he joins back school. There will definitely be an improvement. You need to teach the child in a way he understands, remember you are the adult here. He doesn't understand by one method, try other ways of teaching a concept. You are in a generation where you can use internet, AI and other tools to help you learn to teach your child.

Hi sir, my son is in 6th STD, CBSE, usually not showing interest in Maths, unable to understand even basic concepts properly, how can I improve him ? Pls suggest.

Ans: Hello,
As you said he is not showing interest, hence unable to understand the basics.
Teacher has to make the subject interesting for him with good examples, quizzes, etc.
There is an online course EGANEET, search for it & take a basic subscription first, they make the subject lucid to understand.

See if it helps.

All the best.

Hello sarveshji, My Son 13 years, is in 8th std ,ICSE student, When he was in 7th std he was doing good in his MCQ pattern ,But when he entered in 8th std he's become a average student academically, From 8th std school has started taking written Exams of 40marks Terminals,& its found that he's not good at learning the answers by heart, Till the 7th std there were no written exams and from 8th std regular written exams has started ,its looks difficult for him to by heart the answers in History,Geography,Science,Hindi, subjects, So how to solve this issue

Ans: I think important is to understand the concepts then rote learning.
Make him understand the concepts by giving him the concept based learning, paired with activities and objective tests from each lesson before you start giving him more Lessons to learn. Divide the task into shorter achievable goals to develop the intrest.

Ans: Hi Abhijeet

This is a very usual case. Whenever a child shifts from one method to another, it takes some time to upgrade himself to the new pattern. MCQ test pattern and Written test pattern are different. Both patterns require different skills.

In short, your son is struggling to adapt to the new format of written exams in 8th grade. This shift from MCQs to written exams requires different study techniques, such as active recall, effective note-taking, and practice writing.

To help him improve, you can:
1) Encourage him to use active recall techniques like flashcards and quizzes.
2) Teach him effective note-taking methods like the Cornell method or mind mapping.
3) Help him practice writing essays and join a writing group if possible.
4) Assist him in creating a study schedule and breaking down assignments into smaller tasks.

At last, keep patient, every child is different. Give him some time to adjust to the new pattern. Your motion and support are much needed at this stage and that too without showing any panic on your face.

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.

Sir/mam,My son aged 27 yrs is working as a app developer in a startup company for megre salary. What should he do to goto a higher position?

Ans: Hello!!

Going to a higher position is only possible by your contribution to the company by sheer hard work, giving your 100%.

The only way to a higher salary is to demand your worth. If he feels he is underpaid he must ask for more... only the person knows his worth. He has to prove by his work ethics and the results he has given to the company in terms of revenue and communicate respectfully that he deserves more. If they listen to him then great otherwise he has to look for another place where he is valued.

All the best!!

Asked by Anonymous - Jan 07, 2025Hindi

I have been jobless since 2 years. During COVID, I was undergoing tremendous amount of stress due to the lockdowns & WFH. It had telling effect on me & I realized am going through depression when I joined a job which required me to work from office. I quit job a month after I joined the company where the toxic work culture had a big toll on me to the extent of instilling a fear of formal office environs in me, which continues to this day. I have become a recluse. Now I feel I should have sought professional intervention much earlier, rather than just 6 months back. I lost all confidence of turning up for interviews, leave alone joining some job. I fear & hate admitting that infront of my wife who is very temperamental & nags me consistently about job search, as much as she tries to figure out things in my life. Every day I apply to jobs but every time I fail an interview I console myself thinking that I am saved of botheration of the rigors of a job which I can't face. I don't admit to my wife so as not to infuriate her & don't trust her that she will empathise with my situation in life. Hence try to keep up with good facade. But the results never improve- I failed every interview (calls though are hard to come by) which I fully know that its because I could not give my 100 % energy. Now the reluctance is due to many factors- IT is very fast changing field; I have reached a senior level where there are many expectations on that role which I never got to nurture/grow on myself. So every interview gives me shivers: 1) About my performance 2) (provided am selected somehow) About whether I would be able to fulfill my role to my satisfaction (previous professional experience haunts me to this date). As a result of all this I very often mentally exhaust myself (worrying/ wishful)thinking of things rather than bringing myself to earn money for the family. I feel I am just doing things to fill up my day, languishing by doing things that do not bring any value- rather than positively, pro-actively doing something of my career. Due to the gap of 2 years I do not get favorable response from companies I apply to. That is a very big gap to fill & I can't talk my way into saying things like I was in depression or that I did nothing for those 2 years. That further increases my anxiety, I have grown aversion to this entire goings on. I feel direction-less & drained out all the time. Please help.

Ans: Hello!!

Let's only look at the forward path here pls.

Forget about all the failings so far... Be kind to yourself, whatever happened to you, whatever is happening now, the period of COVID did it to many.

The only way to get out of this is -
1. your willingness to see a beautiful future ahead of you
2. you have already taken the first step by seeking counselling
3. leave the habit of revisiting the past again, like you just said that I should have gone to the counselor earlier, don't do this, be happy you are seeing him/her now
4. you have come so far in life, give yourself some credit, you have not reached the senior position just like that, right? You have reached here with your efforts, you have done it before, you'll do it again, have faith in yourself
5. your wife is your life partner, sit across and talk to her, take her to the counselor make her understand that this a phase where you need her on your side. A facade with your wife is a NO NO, it will come out some day, it is extra strain on you and your relationship, come clean , be truthful and honest with her.
6. make self care a priority ..get your routine in order, it's your life, just don't fill your day with mindless activities, like I said one step in the future, start taking actions now.....get up early, expose yourself to the sun and nature( they are great healers), exercise, have good meals throughout the day, learn something new , join a course which will be job oriented, how about adding an MBA or any other course which will help you in your career or job search?
7. make being joyful a habit... spend time volunteering, go teach underprivileged children or where ever you feel like lending a helping hand
8. value yourself....you were not put here to suffer, take action now.

Forget the past, jo beet gayi so baat gayi( meaningless to talk about the past)... stop blaming, complaining....look into the future with energy and enthusiasm, it's your life man , take one step towards it every day.

Bless you to life your life well..

Mam, how to cope with immense blame culture anxiety at work?

Ans: Hey!!

The solution for this is to learn to stand up to the bullies, learn to say "NO", protect yourself and communicate assertively. Assertive communication is communicating respectfully in a clam and collected voice, taking care of your needs as well as others and creating a WIN-WIN. Believe me... it is a learnable skill and comes with practice.

If this works , then congratulations, else start looking for other jobs and quit, no one deserves to work in a toxic environment.
Give utmost importance to your inner peace and happiness, stand guard, let this not be disturbed by anything or anyone.

Practice yoga and meditation, this will give you immense strength and clarity of thought.

All the best for making the wise decisions!

Question by Invest Global Financial - Jan 20, 2025Hindi

Career

Dear MAM , I am writing to express some concerns and seek your advice regarding my son who is currently working in the USA after completing his Master's degree. While I am proud of his achievements, I find myself feeling a bit confused about my role as a father during this phase of his life. As he focuses on his career and plans for the future, I wonder if I should expect some support from him for our family's needs, especially considering the financial burden I have undertaken for his education, which amounts to about 1 crore. Additionally, I have responsibilities towards my 90+ year-old mother and my other son, who is also in need of educational support. My son seems to be making all his life decisions independently, including matters relating to his future marriage, without seeking our input. This leaves me feeling sidelined in his life choices. Can you please share your thoughts on how I should navigate this situation? Your guidance would be invaluable as I try to understand my place and expectations in this new dynamic. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to your response.

Ans: Dear Sir,

He is your son and your blood. You have brought him up ....your values and culture is in him. You have supported him wholeheartedly and you have always been there for him, I am sure he will be there for you too. Just sit down with your son and have a heart to heart talk with him, have the faith that you have brought up your son well, he will listen to your genuine concerns and help you out.

It is just that he is too eager to fly high, the education, the US culture, the freedom is a heady combination right now. Participate in his plans wholeheartedly and with full josh when he shares his plans with you. Don't come in his way, don't demand but ask him to help you out. Please remember that when your child stays away from you, the bonds require efforts to rebuild and make them strong again. Since he is no longer staying with you, he may not have the clear picture of what is happening in your lives here. So please " TALK " to him face to face.

You must be happy that your son has grown up enough to make his life decisions on his own, this is a good sign, he is no longer dependent on you, like you said just be proud of him and be supportive. Love him unconditionally. I know as a parent you feel left out..... what can you do, but to see your little one soar high, trust me I totally understand how you feel. You have given him the wings by funding his education, you can't demand he return the money or pay you back. What you can do is this... give him a proper picture of your financial condition, your younger son's aspirations, he is your eldest, elder children are always responsible, he will come to your rescue and help you out I am very sure of that. Let the language of love and togetherness between the son and father create the magic. Communicate with your child dear father, that's the key, that's the solution.

All the very best!!

My average score in neet mock test is 300 I want to crack this exam in this attempt itself as there are 3month left I don't know how to proceed things further please guide me

Ans: Hello
cracking neet requires much fewer marks than what you are scoring, hence you will qualify for the NEET, there is no doubt about it. For admission in a govt college seat, you need a 650+ score if from the open category or a private college seat you need 550+.
Good Deemed College seat requires 400+ marks
You need to analyse your test score, where you are making mistakes and what kind of mistakes they are & improve your weaker areas with every test.
