ParentEdge Magazine - March - April 2014

In this issue

Hello
Readers “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has
taken place,” said George Bernard Shaw. With communication being the
bedrock of any relationship, we decided to make it the theme for this issue.
You will see different aspects of communication being covered in various
articles – the Cover story ‘10 Steps to Connect Better with Your Child’,
the Spotlight article on ‘Speech Defects in Children’ and the Pursuits and
Passions article on ‘Children and Public Speaking.’
The school year is winding down for many children across the country. It is
a good time to think of bringing in changes for the next academic year. Turn
to the Everyday Parenting article for tips to end homework hassles and the
Quick Resources section for a listing of websites that aid school work.
Your child’s physical health is as important as her intellectual and emotional
health. Could she be suffering from a hidden hunger? Read our Nutrition and
Wellness article ‘Could Your Child be Anaemic?’ And, in the Nurturing Gifted
Children section, we detail what it takes to parent a gifted child.
If you have a child six years or younger, you should not miss the article ‘The
Importance of Free Play’ in Young Parents Corner, and the Product Review
of Flinto ‘discovery’ boxes.
Parents of teens are preoccupied (and rightly so!) with career matters. Turn
to Career Track to get the low-down on geography-based careers and go
to College Education Abroad to acquaint yourself with the rules of the
rankings game for colleges abroad.
And, as always, places to visit, recipes to try, books to read, hobbies to
dabble in and much more....
Happy Reading!
