Just spent my weekend trying to have a conversation with my son who is distracted when in his school. I think this is one of the most difficult task to do for any parent. I think I am able to communicate with my son.. but getting a point across is a tough thing. I have been trying to get his screen time to a minimum as it helps him focus for longer duration of time for his studies, otherwise he want's a break and have his screen time. I frequent www.ted.com and have an TED app on my phone. As you know there are lot of good minds who speak in these events. ( links below are from www.youtube.com for the content published by TED)
So I did a bit of research and found that
- If we can listen
- Can speak in a way other will listen
- Let altruism be our guide..
We will be lot happier, smarter and joyful in life..
Following are the 3 videos that I asked my son to watch and tasked him to explain what he thought .. we did a bit of search in the dictionary to understand what words meant in the videos. I would say the following 34 minutes will be worth every minute of your time (Link in the bottom for meditation if you are interested in it)
