Is there any parent today who does not want his children to be achievers? Some parents
may pursue academic excellence, while others a more holistic development that includes
sports, the arts, and even community service. We invest a lot in our children and expect
them to make the most of the opportunities offered to them. Our Cover Story in this
issue delves into what it takes to raise a high achiever. We spoke to adults and students
who are high achievers in different fields, and we bring you their learnings, insight, and
tips. Read ‘How to Raise a High Achiever’ to understand what you need to do to set your
children on the path to accomplishment.
You will notice that many of our articles in this issue focus on technology. Technology is
all-pervasive and inescapable, and technology-led learning is the present and future of
our educational system. While we have previously spoken about the role of e-learning in
high school, we now choose to focus on ‘How Technology is Enriching Primary Education’
in Young Parents’ Corner. Follow this up by our Quick Resources article—‘Interesting
and Useful Websites for Children’. If all this is too much for you, don’t worry. It is not
uncommon for parents to feel left behind by their technology-intelligent children.
But take a deep breath, relax and read our Everyday Parenting article ‘Why and How
Parents should Stay in Touch with Technology’. This should help you gear up to meet the
challenge of remaining on top of technology.
Career Track discusses vocational courses, and College Education Abroad, ‘Why
you Should do a Co-op Programme in College’. Our Transitions feature touches on an
important life-change—‘Moving Homes and Countries’. We also wrap up our long running
MI at Home series, with ‘Applying the Theory of Multiple Intelligences to Actual
Learning’.
A much-needed and sure-to-be-savoured article, ‘Should Your Child Snack?’ (Nutrition
and Wellness) and our usual fun articles—Book Reviews (with a science fiction theme),

ParentEdge Magazine Description:

ParentEdge is a bi-monthly magazine for discerning Indian parents who would like to actively contribute to their children’s education, intellectual enrichment and stimulation.
