गांधी जी के तीन बन्दर    Gandhi  ji ke then bandar

गांधी जी के तीन बन्दर

बचपन से सुनते आये हैं

कि गांधी जी के तीन बन्दर होते थे.

एक बन्दर ने अपनी आंखो पे,

दुसरे  ने अपने कानो पे,

तीसरे  ने अपने मुंह पे

हाथ रखे होते थे

एक सन्देश देने के लिये

बुरा मत देखो

बुरा मत सुनोजमाना बदल गया

बुरा मत बोलो

मान्य्ताएं भी बदल गई

ऐसे मे उनका सन्देश भी बदल गया

आज वो यूं कह्ते दिखते हैं

मैने कुछ नही देखा

मैने कुछ नही सुना

मै  कुछ नही बोलूंगा

Why teachers use Rhymes to the Preschool kids

Why teacher using Nursery Rhymes?

             Research shows that children who have memorized nursery rhymes become better readers because they develop an early sensitivity to the sounds of language.

             Nursery Rhymes naturally help young children develop phonemic awareness skills , which are the necessary building blocks that children need explicit instruction in before they can begin to read.

Nursery Rhymes Can…

• Enrich young children’s vocabulary
• Provide opportunities for oral language development
• Introduce children to basic story structure such as problem and solution, cause and effect
• Be easily integrated into already existing themes
• Be FUN and engaging for young children

Benefits of Nursery Rhyme Activities

                                  Regardless of what nursery rhyme activities you are doing with your children it is always good to do them with your children because you will be helping your child grow and develop properly. Many activities require a variety of skills from your children and by doing these activities with your children you will be encouraging your child to develop these skills. But it is not only the skills that your children will learn that makes doing nursery rhyme activities so beneficial for children of all ages.

Benefit 1:

                      One of the benefits to doing nursery rhyme activities with children is that nursery rhyme activities actually increase a child’s vocabulary The reason for this is that there are many words in the nursery rhymes that children do not hear in everyday language, some of these words are nonsense words, but there are still a lot of words that nursery rhymes use that are regular words that we just don’t use in every day communication. So by learning these words the children are expanding their vocabulary.

Benefit 2:

                           Another great benefit to nursery rhyme activities is that many times they become the first sentences that children speak. Basically what this means is that nursery rhyme sentences are easy to learn so more often than not children go around repeating the nursery rhyme sentences. And these rhymes are actually reinforced through the nursery rhyme activities. And because the children are memorizing these rhymes they are actually developing the building blocks for speaking and reading.

Benefit 3:

1.                                  Another way that nursery rhyme activities benefits children is that it helps kids figure out the English language. Basically nursery rhymes are going to teach children about the different types of speech patterns and other necessities that they need to learn in order to communicate. It is often said that English is one of the hardest languages to learn because of the rhythm of the English language, but the nursery rhymes will help to convey how the rhythm of the English language actually works. In fact you will also see nursery rhyme activities in classes that teach English to adults as well as kids.
2. 

   Benefit 4:

3.                  Another huge benefit to nursery rhyme activities is that it teaches young children about poetry. By introducing the basics of poetry at a young age children are more receptive and some of that information will stick when they get older and get into more in depth lessons about poetry. But Mother Goose and other nursery rhymes are a basic introduction to poetry. These rhymes introduce children to how some poetry rhymes, how it flows or the rhythm of the poetry.

4. Benefit 5:

                       Nursery rhyme activities will also help children learn about the letters of the alphabet, the sounds of the letters and sounds of various words. These are all building blocks for learning to read and write later on in life. By planning lesson plans around the nursery rhymes you are creating a fun learning environment for the children to learn about the different letters and the sounds that they make, you are also associating those letters with a fun activity which makes learning those letters easier for children.

5. Benefit 6:

6.                                 Nursery rhyme activities are going to encourage and develop children’s fine and gross motor skills. And how those skills are developed depend on what activities you are doing.

Factors Affecting Child Development

There are mainly 4 factors affecting child Development
1.Environmental Factors: 
                                    An environmental scan completed by the National Collaborating Centre for the Determinants of Health (2008b) assessed the challenges faced by professionals supporting early child development.
                                Early child development needs to be a priority issue in policy and practice.
Poverty is the factor creating most stress within families and undermines healthy child development.
Some population groups face considerable inability to access services related to:

- Language barriers,
- Transportation issues,
- Availability of programs and services,
- Stigma
- Cost

Interpersonal Relationships

Relationships are particularly important as infants learn primarily through their relationship with others. Eye contact, smiles and imitation set the stage for more sustained communication and meaningful exchanges and engagement with parents and other caregivers, and a growing world of relationships

Benefits of rhymes\Importance of Nursery Rhymes for Kids

                               When you sing nursery rhymes to your children, you may be telling the same poems and tales that, in some form, were told by firelight from parents to their children centuries ago, perhaps even as far back as the Middle Ages. Determining the origins of these famous tales before they were written down is impossible, but many have made guesses about their early roots. “Ring Around the Rosy” may refer to the swollen cysts that afflicted the sick during the Black Death. You might be recalling an ancient Welsh king in “Old King Cole” who drowned in a swamp 1700 years ago, and in “Little Miss Muffet” the daughter of a bug expert in Shakespearean England, or a queen beheaded for her Catholic faith in “Mary Mary Quite Contrary.” These stories have undergone so many changes over the centuries that these meanings –if they did originate in these long-ago dark circumstances –are mostly obscured.

Benefits of Nursery Rhymes 

•           They are good for the brain. Not only does the repetition of rhymes and stories teach children how language works, it also builds memory capabilities that can be applied to all sorts of activities. Furthermore, as Vandergrift points out, nursery rhyme books are often a child’s first experience with literacy: "Even before they can read, children can sit and learn how a book works." This extends to the pictures and music associated with nursery rhymes: it is a full visual and oral experience.
•           .Nursery rhymes preserve a culture that spans generations, providing something in common among parents, grandparents and kids—and also between people who do not know each other. Seth Lerer, Humanities Professor at the University of California San Diego and expert in the history of children’s literature, says that reading nursery rhymes to kids is, in part, "to participate in a long tradition … it’s a shared ritual, there’s almost a religious quality to it."
•            They are a great group activity. Susie Tallman, who has put out several award-winning nursery rhymes CDs, and is also a nursery school music teacher, describes how singing nursery rhymes allows all kids—even shy ones—to feel confident about singing, dancing and performing because they are so easy to grasp and fun: "It builds confidence right in front of my eyes," she says. "They really see the connection between movement, rhythm and words." She has also had kids of different ages collaborate on making music videos for their favorite nursery rhymes.
• .Most important is that they are fun to say. Lerer downplays the life lessons that some rhymes contain, arguing that while parents might consider them important, children probably do not register them. He remembers how as a kid he had no idea what "Peas porridge hot/peas porridge cold" meant but that "he just loved the way it sounded." One should not let any supposed deeper meanings or origins to nursery rhymes obscure their true value: the joy of a child’s discovery of an old, shared language.

Why rhymes are important for my child\Importance of nursery rhymes
1.Language Development:

                                                           When children hear nursery rhymes, they hear the sounds vowels and consonants make. They learn how to put these sounds together to make words.
They also practice pitch, volume, and voice inflection, as well as the rhythm of language.For example, listen to how you sound when you ask questions. Do you sound different whenyou tell a story?In nursery rhymes, children hear new wordsthat they would not hear in everyday language
(like fetch and pail in “Jack and Jill went up thehill to fetch a pail of water”).Nursery rhymes areshort and easy t0 repeat, so they become some of a child’s first sentence.

2.Cognitive Development:

                                                     Since nursery rhymes are patterns, they help children learn easy recall and memorization.Nursery rhymes usually tell a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. This teaches children that events happen in sequence, and they begin to learn how to understand stories  and follow along.Nursery rhymes use patterns and sequence,so children begin to learn simple math skills as they recite them. Many rhymes also use numbers, counting, and other math words that
children need to learn, such as size and weight.Nursery rhymes also introduce alliteration
(“Goosie Goosie Gander”), onomatopoeia (“Baa Baa Black Sheep”), and imaginative imagery.
Children hear these rhymes and act out what they imagine the characters are doing.

3.Physical Development

               Children develop their mouth and tongue muscles by using the different sounds in the
rhyme.Rhymes that involve movement help withcoordination.In dramatic play, children use their whole bodies to act out the nursery rhymes they hear.

4.Social/Emotional Development

               Sharing nursery rhymes provides a safe and secure bond between parents and children.
Positive physical touch between a parent and a child or between children, for example,
during clapping rhymes, is important for social development. Funny nursery rhymes allow children to develop a sense of humor. Nursery rhyme characters experience many different emotions. This can help children identify their own emotions and understand the real emotions of others. When children act out the nursery rhyme stories they hear, they learn to imagine, be creative, and express themselves.
