Puberty and Growing Up: Understanding Changes with Confidence and Care - Sunbeam School Ballia

Today's session was really informative.

The resource person, Ms. Shikha Agnihotri, began by explaining what puberty is – a stage of physical and emotional development where children transition into adulthood. Students were told about the emotional ups and downs they may face, such as mood swings, increased sensitivity, self-consciousness, and anxiety.

The session also covered how puberty affects behaviour. Children may start seeking more independence, feel peer pressure, or become more private and less communicative with parents or teachers. The facilitator encouraged open communication and reassured students that it’s okay to ask questions or feel confused during this stage.

Most importantly, the session focused on creating a safe and respectful environment where students could express their doubts and emotions freely. It emphasized that growing up is a journey, and with the right guidance and support, it can be a smooth and confident one.

Today's session on "Puberty and Its Impact on Emotions and Behaviour" was both engaging and informative.

The speaker beautifully explained that puberty is a natural phase of life during which children experience significant changes in their bodies, minds, and emotions. Due to hormonal shifts, they may sometimes feel angry, sad, confused, or shy without any clear reason. The session helped us understand that these changes are a normal part of growing up, and with proper guidance and support, this transition can be managed smoothly and positively.

Navigating Puberty: Embracing Emotional Growth with Support and Awareness - Shahar Banu

Today's session on Puberty and Its Impact on Emotions and Behaviour by Ms. Shikha Agnihotri was truly interactive and engaging.

Ma’am ensured active participation from everyone, and rightly so—the topic itself sparked genuine curiosity among the listeners. She emphasized how puberty influences not just physical growth but also significantly impacts one’s mind and behaviour.

I was especially glad to witness the enthusiastic involvement of the students throughout the session. It has certainly made it easier for me to approach this sensitive topic with more confidence and clarity in the classroom.

A heartfelt thank you to My Good School for inviting such insightful speakers to address relevant and timely issues.

Embracing Change: Understanding Puberty with Confidence and Respect - Astha Mishra

The session on puberty was very informative and eye-opening. It helped me understand the changes that happen in our body and mind as we grow from children into teenagers. It also taught me the importance of involving an adult whenever we make any important decision.

Overall, the session helped me feel more confident and less awkward about this stage of life. It also taught me to be respectful and understanding toward others who are also going through these changes. I now see puberty not as something to be scared or ashamed of, but as a natural and important step in becoming a responsible and mature individual.

Dreams are the threads that weave our deepest desires with our waking reality - Tamreen

"Dreams are the threads that weave our deepest desires with our waking reality, revealing connections we never knew existed."

Dreams often serve as a bridge between our subconscious mind and our conscious experiences. They weave together fragments of our deepest desires, fears, and unresolved emotions, presenting them in a tapestry that can reveal insights we might not otherwise see. 

When we dream, we tap into a realm where our minds are free to explore connections and possibilities beyond the constraints of our daily lives. These dreams can reflect our inner aspirations and unresolved conflicts and offer guidance or inspiration. 

Examining and reflecting on our dreams can uncover patterns and insights that connect our inner world with our external reality. This helps us better understand ourselves and align our actions with our true desires. In this way, dreams act as a map that shows how our inner thoughts and emotions are intricately connected to the choices and experiences in our waking lives.

"PEOPLE are more important than THINGS" - Nishan Karki

"Most of the important things in the world have been

accomplished by people who have kept on trying 

when there seemed to be no hope at all."

~Dale Carnegie

People and things are very different from each other. People are social beings who can communicate, interact, work, play, and share their thoughts, ideas, emotions and opinions, like other things. Things cannot do all the activities mentioned above. People possess many important values which make them more

important than things. Things are just objects which have a physical presence. Things include utensils, stationery, chair, table, electronics, etc. People only gave the ideas to invent these things. It shows that things exist because of the people who invented them. Therefore people are more important than things.

There are many reasons why people are more important than things. Some of them are listed below:

● People can take care and look out for each other, but things do not. We were not born, nourished and raised by things. It was our parents who did things. Parents are the people who were our first and foremost teachers who taught us to walk, eat, speak, play and help us to know about things.

● People can give us happiness and satisfaction more than things. There are only a few people who get satisfaction and happiness from things. But for most of us, we get satisfaction and happiness from people. People only provide support and help when we face problems in our life. They are the ones who encourage us to follow the right path to get success.

● Parents, friends, teachers, relatives and siblings are the people who make our life meaningful, not things.

● Even the value of gold, silver, diamond, etc., is less compared to people. We will get money by selling these minerals, but we will not get the support, help, encouragement and guidance that people can provide us.

Life would of no meaning if people were not present around us. Without other people in our life, we will have a limited viewpoint to look at the world.

Therefore, PEOPLE are more important than THINGS.

What I fear the most - Tenzin Nyingsel

Subject: Reflection on; What I fear the most and how I can overcome that fear...

I hope this email finds you well.

What I fear the most is generally what many people have been through, which is the fear of getting a scolding by their parents, especially my father; even though he is the most friendly person in the family, his anger is the most dangerous from our family.

I still remember the day when he scolded my brother for not picking me up from school and leaving me there till 6 or 7pm, which was very scary since I couldn't walk properly due to the injury on my foot. I can never forget that anger and the fight they both had because of me.

For me, that's my biggest fear and how to overcome that fear is still in process because I try my best not to make him angry and to always listen to his guidance.

Thank you for reading.

Yours faithfully,

Tenzin Nyingsel,
