Quite often we recommend office people to get their chairs and walk. However for teachers who move from one classroom to another and spend long hours standing, it is very important for them to sit down and rest their legs.  Statistics:- 73% of teachers experience neck and shoulder pain.  53% experience knee problems. 33% have complications of the hip joint. 82% complain of musculoskeletal disorders at least once a week.  Long hours of standing and constantly on the go demand a whole lot of toll on the muscles and joints thereby resulting in sprains and strains which often goes unnoticed under the pretext of maybe because of tiredness or stress, maybe I'm aging and so on and so forth.

Effective instructions. As parents we arr we can operate on a principal, "The more the merrier, the louder the clearer." However when it comes to giving instructions to children it's vice versa.        Here are some ways to present the information that children would likely hear and comply Be direct.  Be close.  Use clear and specific commands  Give age appropriate instructions. One at a time.  Keep it simple.  Give it some time. Give positively stated commands and specific. Keep your tone neutral and normal.  After you give a command, avoid speaking and wait and watch. Don't ask, Tell. Reward compliance.         As grown ups we are we often forget that we too never liked being bossed over. We too had our limitations and wants that we wished were being heard. However when we handle a kid we often forget to notice the little tiny us in that child who wishes the same.  Dr. Maria...
