“I Can’t” to “I CAN & BEYOND !“
We started coming to NaviDisha, as all we wanted to do was to play games/toys. What we didn’t realized that, it’s not the number of (how many) games we play, it’s how we approach and play, that’s where real mastery lies.
THE JIGSAW PUZZLE of Mind – our sessions of October 2021
Engrossed and busy trying to figure out “How do I do it” ?
We fumbled at times,
Sometimes one of us decides to quit… But our teacher always encourages us not to quit. She gives us hints about “how mind is tricking us” & she asks us – “Which step do you choose to be at ??”
We learn to observe the picture with a focused attention.
Super thrilled and beaming with joy
same thing happens when we attempt to learn something new – a new chapter in our school subject, or learning to ride a cycle, or any thing that we try to learn or do new (first time).
We promise to remember “WHICH STEP AM I ?” & choose which step I decide to be at.
Learning is FUN 🙂
OCTOBER 2021
Journey from “I Can’t” to “Yes, I did it !“
See my journey from “I Can’t” to “Yes, I Did IT!”
Hi, I am NaviDisha Child.
Let me share my Journey (and many like me) about how we learn important life-skills and transform behavior pattern at NAVI-DISHA
THE JIGSAW PUZZLE of Mind – our sessions of October 2021
I was disappointed the first time I played Jig-saw puzzle toy. I couldn’t do it. I found the task to be so difficult that I requested Didi to give me other game to play. Didi sweetly encouraged me to keep trying, instead of switching the toy. I did not like the idea, but I continued. Again after some time, I had this idea of wanting to switch the toy. Didi reminded me of the “Check, Baani kya mutthi?” She helped me “logic kya hai?” , she provided a “hint” and then encouraged me to continue.
Hesitantly I continued. Using the trick/logic/hint I struggled for some more time. Again a doubt came and I said “One piece is missing”, “This game cannot be completed”. Didi smiled lovingly. She simply said – “Try”
Then she asked me –> “Ok If Didi or one of my friend can complete the game, will it prove that “all required pieces of puzzle are available and no-piece of puzzle is lost”? I had to choose to “quit” or “continue & give it one more try”
Didi encouraged me to keep trying. And as we had done the CHART of “Which Step are you at?” in our previous class, it reminded me of how my “Maan/Chitta” mind was playing it’s trick on me
Finally I was able to complete Jig-saw puzzle
& with a big smile I said – “I did it, so now give me another game/toy”
I was so eager to try other game/toys
To my surprise Didi, quickly jumbled the jig-saw and asked me to rearrange.
I started again, without any complaint. I was confident that I will be able to do it, since I had done it once.
So I was able to arrange the jig-saw with a lesser complexity. In fact, now I was observing the picture extremely focused attention.
We all and I too realized that in lesser than a previous time, I was able to arrange the jigsaw.
A THIRD time…
This time, as I started arranging the jigsaw a third time, Didi clocked the time. To my surprise, I was able to arrange jigsaw within less than a minute. Wow….. I was super thrilled and beamed with joy
Didi explained that same thing happens when we attempt to learn something new – a new chapter in our school subject, or learning to ride a cycle, or any thing that we try to learn or do new (first time).
We all are filled with NEW CONFIDENCE and promise to remember “WHICH STEP AM I ?”
Learn thru Games at NaviDisha’s Ramakada Library.
We encourage children to play the game of “never-give-up”, concentration, I-CAN attitude, analyzing and taking the next step. Children look forward to the sessions of Toy (RAMAKADA) Library.
They have fun and in the process learn much required life-skills.
Each Game-session is supported with “what we learned” discussion. The child understands and shares what s/he liked about the game, how s/he has improved, the reason he/she thinks is helping him.
It’s interactive session and not just the kids but also the Volunteers look forward to be part of such sessions.
here are some of the pics of such sessions. Hope you too enjoy the pics.
Do share and spread happiness. DONATE your old TOYS that are in working-condition. Our RAMAKDA Library will be best new-home for them.
