Top 7 Parenting Books for Every Parent! - ORCHIDS SCHOOL

Parenting might sound scary sometimes. But with the right direction, you’ll be good to go! Here are some must-read parenting books............

7 Important Parenting Books Every Parent Should Read

<h2 id="Introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>Every comic book fan in the world has their favorite comic characters and are loyal to their favorite brand of superhero movies. When these comic loyalists get together, the famous debate is Marvel vs. DC, who have the stronger heroes. Our library is also filled with several comic books from both marvel as well as DC, so we thought it only right that we even jump into the mix and give our two cents.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the sake of argument, we will pit two superheroes of the same category but different universes against each other and see who comes out the winner. While we are well aware that all the superheroes come with years and decades of backstory, it is only fair that we compare the modern versions.&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="Captain">Captain Marvel Vs. Superman</h2>
<p>Ironically we are pitting one of the newest superheroes with one of the oldest, but they both come under what we like to call the &ldquo;Flying Brick&rdquo; category, so let&rsquo;s go. This is one of the most intense matchups we could find, which explains why it is the first to be mentioned. They both have similar levels of power, and they are both known for not giving up. However, in a fight against each other, Superman would likely reign superior. Clark Kent has fought against some of the most notorious villains like Captain Atom, World Forger, and Imperiex, while Carol has only conquered Yon-Rogg. We have to admit that it&rsquo;s only been a few years since she has been in the running, so we may just have a rematch after she&rsquo;s gained some more experience.&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="Doctor">Doctor Strange Vs. Zatanna&nbsp;</h2>
<p>While one sorcerer uses hand gestures and the other has to talk backward to cast spells, it is a pretty close call. However, Doctor Strange is our victor of choice. Not only is he the Sorcerer Supreme&mdash;He&rsquo;s fought against evil gods and demonic entities daily! But he also took part in a war that lasted five thousand years, and he returned unscathed.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Iron Man vs. Batman</h3>
<p>It&rsquo;s too bad these come under the ingenious inventors&rsquo; category. While the dark knight is one of my favorite superheroes of all time, even I cannot fight the fact that Iron Man&rsquo;s suit alone can out beat any of Batman&rsquo;sBatman&rsquo;s inventions. Iron man has taken out Maniacal robots, rage monsters, and even gods with his suit, so Batman may not stand a chance against it for long. Although Batman may come up with something if he had enough prep time, Tony Stark would have the same, so although a close fight, Iron man does win.</p>
<h3>Black Panther vs. Aquaman</h3>
<p>Arthur Curry is not just a man; he&rsquo;s the King of Atlantis, the wielder of Poseidon&rsquo;s Trident, and insanely fast&mdash; close to the likes of Barry Allen. All of this not only spells disaster for T&rsquo;challa as if ever there was a fight between the two, Black Panther will never be able to compete against Aquaman&rsquo;s sheer strength. If the war were to escalate, then the armies of Atlantis would quickly wash out any of Wakanda&rsquo;s defenses.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Hawkeye Vs. Green Arrow&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Both of these characters are very similar, and who wins would probably be dictated by their weapons. While Green Arrow carries around scatter and net-arrows along with his signature Boxing Glove arrow, Hawkeye has Vibranium and Adamantium arrows in his arsenal. Not only are these stronger, but the later versions of Hawkeye can never miss a target. He just fires what look like strange shots to set the grounds for victory.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>QuickSilver Vs. The Flash</h3>
<p>There are only two types of speedsters you can find in comic books those that are quick and those that are dead. Wally West and Pietro Maximoff are the fastest men alive today in their respective comic universes. While Wally West exceeds scientific limitations just by channeling the speed force, quick sliver can disarm bombs in nanoseconds and cannot be controlled by telepaths. While Wally has been able to outrun the Black Racer by running back and forth to the end of time, Quick sliver has only shown the average speedster&rsquo;s abilities. This being said, Wally wins the Marvel Vs. DC fight hands down and because of his picosecond feats.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Thor Vs. Wonder Woman&nbsp;</h3>
<p>No, this isn&rsquo;t the war of the sexes just one between two children of Sky Father deities Thor Odinson and Diana of Themyscira. Both of these are incredibly strong and have taken out superheroes like the Hulk and Superman, respectively. Both of these are also meant to protect their universes with ease. Although the fight between these two will be a close call, it may just come down to their weapons of choice. Unfortunately, our leading lady will lose out here as Mjolnir can trump both the lasso of truth as well as her bracelets of submission. It will be a hard-won victory but a victory none the less for Thor.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Hulk vs. Atrocitus</h3>
<p>These are two warriors that are rage-filled, facing off each other. Atrocitus would probably burn the Hulk and try to restrain him using red constructs. This might be a slightly even fight right to the point when Hulk enters into the Worldbreaker state. Atrocitus would never have the ability to hold Hulk down for good. All the Hulk would really need to do to defeat Atrocitus is to take off the ring that replaces his heart and keeps him alive. This is a clear win for HulkHulk.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Captain America vs. Green Lantern&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Both known to be soldiers and have each fought for their country in different forms of combat. They were also both chosen and given a gift that brought immense pressure along with it. While the captain has superior morals and leadership abilities, he can&rsquo;t really hold a torch (no pun intended) to Green Lanterns&rsquo; ability to create anything with his mind.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Spiderman vs. Dr. Manhattan&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Born from significant DNA mutation, both of these characters were first scientists. While Spiderman was bitten by a radioactive spider, Dr. Manhattan became God adjacent. While we know who is more powerful, Peter Parker just might have enough resilience to manage a victory. However, for now, it is a point for Dr. Manhattan.&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="Conclusion">Conclusion&nbsp;</h2>
<p>While there may be more Marvel characters who beat their respective counterparts, they usually won by a hair. In comparison, the victors in DCs corner have outshined their competition. No one in any universe can compare to Superman, so maybe we can&rsquo;t judge which comic book superheroes are the strongest without comparing listing out all about superheroes. Still, for now, we stand firmly behind marvel.&nbsp;</p>

<h3>National Anthem Writer of&hellip;</h3>
<p>Yes, Tagore wrote the national anthem of India, &ldquo;Jana Gana Mana,&rdquo; along with that of Bangladesh, &ldquo;Amar Shonar Bangla.&rdquo; But that&rsquo;s not where the list ends. Both these anthems sparked such a great spirit of nationalism in the citizens of both India and Bangladesh that Tagore&rsquo;s writings inspired the national anthem of Sri Lanka as well.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>A True Educationist&hellip;</h3>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>&ldquo;The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.&rdquo;</p>
<cite><strong>Rabindranath Tagore</strong></cite></blockquote>
<p>Tagore had a different vision for the education system in India. He wanted to break free of the traditional systems of education and build an institution that was not fully conventional. He turned this dream into a reality when he won the Nobel Prize. Rabindranath Tagore invested his Nobel Prize money to build an educational institution called Vishwa Bharati in Shantiniketan, West Bengal.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many talk about the reforms they want to bring in the existing system but only a few take actions towards it. Tagore was one of those who changed the meaning of education, making him a true educationist.</p>
<h3>When Tagore Met Einstein&hellip;</h3>
<p>Tagore was a spiritual being. His spirituality is portrayed through all of his writings, songs and thoughts. In 1930 took place the unimaginable face-off between spirituality and science. Albert Einstein invited Tagore to his residence to chat about God, Truth, Science and Humanity. Their beliefs might have been two poles apart, but they were both in awe of each other&rsquo;s characters! Their conversation was documented in the<em> Note on the Nature of Reality</em> which you and your kids can read online!</p>

<h3>He Made Gandhi &lsquo;Mahatma&rsquo;&hellip;</h3>
<p>Rabindranath Tagore wanted to see India become independent of the British Raj and supported Gandhi&rsquo;s ideology of a free India. We all know Gandhi as Mahatma and it is because of Tagore. He was the first one to give him the title of Mahatma and since then it became Gandhi&rsquo;s identity.&nbsp;</p>

In a letter to Jagdishchandra Bose in 1900 he wrote &ldquo;Just as a mother lavishes most affection on her ugliest son, so I feel secretly drawn to the very skill that comes to me least easily.&rdquo; This explains beautifully that there is no age to discover your passion and that one person can have multiple interests.&nbsp;</p>

Unknown Facts About Rabindranath Tagore | Orchids Intl

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>In India, 165 million women over the age of 15 are illiterate, and just 49% of females participate in secondary school. In this blog, we have analyzed the state of female education in India and the many hurdles that females encounter in obtaining a good education. To comprehend the current predicament of females and <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/international-schools-education-quality">female education</a> in India, particularly in rural areas, it is necessary to recognize that prejudice has deep cultural and societal origins. Females are routinely denied access to education, and cultural norms surrounding puberty frequently prevent them from leaving their homes and communities to attend schools or colleges.</p>

<h2 id="what">What is Women Empowerment?</h2>
<p><img src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/media/women-empowerment.jpg" alt="Women Empowerment" width="1024" height="500"></p>
<p>The notion of women&rsquo;s empowerment was first proposed in 1985 at the Nairobi International Women&rsquo;s Conference. Women&rsquo;s empowerment begins with female education, which helps them to adapt to difficulties, face their conventional roles, and alter their lives. As a result, we must not overlook the value of education in terms of women&rsquo;s empowerment.</p>
<p>Women&rsquo;s empowerment, according to the United National Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), entails:</p>
<p>&bull; Gaining knowledge and awareness of gender relations and the methods in which these interactions may be altered.</p>
<p>&bull; Acquiring a sense of self-worth, faith in one&rsquo;s ability to effect desired changes, and the ability to direct one&rsquo;s own life.</p>
<p>&bull; Having the ability to make decisions gives you negotiating power.</p>
<p>&bull; Improving one&rsquo;s abilities to organize and influence social change to achieve a more just social and economic order on a national and worldwide scale.</p>
<p>Hence, empowerment refers to a psychological sense of personal control or influence, as well as a concern for actual social influence, political authority, and legal rights.</p>
<h2 id="is">Education Is a Powerful Tool for Empowering Women</h2>
<p><img src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/media/empowering-women.jpg" alt="Empowering Women" width="1024" height="500"></p>
<p>In any community, state, or country, women&rsquo;s empowerment is critical. In a child&rsquo;s fundamental life, it is a woman who performs a prominent role. Women have a significant role in our culture. Women&rsquo;s empowerment via female education might result in a good attitude shift. As a result, it is critical for India&rsquo;s socio-economic and political development.</p>
<p>The Indian Constitution enables the government to take affirmative action to encourage women&rsquo;s empowerment. Female education has a huge impact on their lives. Women&rsquo;s empowerment is a global problem, and numerous official and informal movements throughout the world focus on women&rsquo;s political rights.</p>
<h2 id="why">Why Should We Invest in Female Education?</h2>
<p>Education empowers females to make better life decisions and improves their health, with positive consequences for their families and society as a whole.</p>
<p>Any society&rsquo;s true growth and improvement are unattainable if females are excluded. Future social and economic goals are highly reliant on the current state of women. Individuals, families, and society as a whole gain from female education, which produces some of the best returns of any development investment. Women have the power to influence their families and communities in ways that have never been seen before.</p>
<h2 id="female">Why Is Female Education Important?</h2>
<p>Future generations&rsquo; health is inextricably connected to the current physical state of females and women. Each year a woman remains in education, her infant mortality drops by 8%. Here are some of the countless reasons why is female education important:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Smaller families: As females and women&rsquo;s status improves (including, but not limited to, more schooling, women have fewer children.</li>
<li>Increased Immunization: Data from several countries shows that educated women are more likely to immunize their children.</li>
<li>Educated moms are 50% more likely than illiterate mothers to immunize their children.</li>
<li>Lower newborn mortality: There is a clear link between under-5 mortality and poverty.</li>
<li>Lower risk of violence: Women with greater levels of education were less likely to be subjected to physical or sexual violence by their partners.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="and">Trends and Indicators</h2>
<h3>Almost One in Every Two Women in India Cannot Read or Write, Resulting in a Total of 165 Million Illiterate Women.</h3>
<p>India has the highest proportion of illiterates of any country on the planet, with nearly twice as many women as males. The national average female illiteracy rate (age 15 and older) is 45.5 percent, whereas the male illiteracy rate is 23.1 percent (<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=unfpc+2009&amp;oq=unfpc+2009&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57j0i13j0i13i30.2906j0j7&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8">UNFPC, 2009</a>). Almost one in every two women in India is illiterate.</p>
<h3>Approximately 82 Percent of Females in the First Grade Dropout Before They Reach the Age of Fifteen.</h3>
<p>Although the government now states that at the primary level India has achieved 82% enrollment, this is not an indication of regular attendance. According to government sources, there are primary schools within one kilometer of 94% of India&rsquo;s population. However, despite this relatively good access, females&rsquo; attendance is extremely low, as illustrated by the above drop-out rates. These dropout figures are more indicative of the situation of female education than looking at enrollment levels in isolation.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The School System as a Whole Is Failing Females</h3>
<p>Even when a female can enroll in school, a substantial majority of females in primary school classrooms lack basic numeracy and reading abilities. According to a 2006 World Bank report, 50% of 10-year-old children polled were unable to read, and 28% of 11&ndash;12-year-old students were unable to complete two-digit subtraction. This clearly indicates the situation of female education in our country.</p>
<h2 id="takeaway">Takeaway</h2>
<p>Females have the same right to opportunity, knowledge, economic and social involvement, and freedom from violence as boys. Consistent efforts can make a difference in the field of female education. There are some creative solutions to the challenges that girls face in school. We can ensure that the power of every woman to improve her family and society is harnessed and used to transform India with the proper funding and a focus on scaling up the greatest ideas.</p>

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>Your child&rsquo;s knowledge is important because it will allow you to implement the knowledge that they need to get the most out of their education. Not only does knowledge come from studying at home, but it also comes from within themselves which means that if they are given the opportunity, they can excel even further than expected. Implementing knowledge into your children is not always an easy task and this is why so many parents find themselves asking the question &ldquo;How can my child get the most out of a curriculum?&ldquo;</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><iframe title="Extra Curricular Activity | ORCHIDS The International School" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XTkrIoEMVZI?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe></div>
</figure>
<p>The first thing that you should do when trying to help your child get more knowledge is to identify what type of learner he or she may be. Are they hands-on learners? Then let them experience things firsthand by giving them projects. You can ensure that your child gets the most of their knowledge and curriculum via various methods.</p>
<p>Orchids&rsquo; <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/ncert-solutions">NCERT Solution</a> for Maths and English is one such curriculum that plays a vital role in not only the easy understanding of the subjects but also in securing good grades. Exercise questions are included at the end of each chapter in the NCERT books for both understanding and review. Many of these questions will very certainly appear on your school&rsquo;s examination paper. Also, having the whole set of NCERT Solutions for all topics in one spot makes revision easier. NCERT Solutions are useful materials for students who want to undertake additional academic activities in addition to following the CBSE exam criteria.</p>
<h2 id="tips">Tips to ensure that your child gets the most out of the curriculum</h2>
<p>Here are a few tips that can help you get the most knowledge and curriculum out of your child</p>
<h3><strong>1. Always figure out what type of learner they are</strong></h3>
<p>When it comes to a child&rsquo;s knowledge and learning, various learners, such as visual, auditory, or active knowledge seekers. This is important so that you can better understand their knowledge process. Knowing this will also allow you to find new ways to implement knowledge into them more effectively. Once you get a hold of what kind of learner your child is, it will be easy for you to implement knowledge and curriculum techniques.</p>
<h3><strong>2. Have them teach someone else the knowledge they have learned</strong></h3>
<p>It is incredible how it has helped me improve my knowledge retention and application skills. I use teaching to reinforce the knowledge that I already have; teaching others allows me to identify any gaps in my knowledge. It is amazing how it has helped me improve my knowledge retention and application skills base. It helps me understand things that otherwise I might not understand due to a lack of specific knowledge points.</p>
<h3><strong>3. Make knowledge fun for them by teaching in different ways</strong></h3>
<p>Your child&rsquo;s knowledge will grow if you use different teaching techniques that work for your child. Knowledge can be taught in more than just one form of classroom education; knowledge can be taught using visual aids, it can be taught through audio and video knowledge can also be applied using real-life objects. Your child&rsquo;s learning will grow if you use different teaching techniques that work for your child. It all depends on how knowledge is being imparted to your child, so if they are not learning something, try to find a different method of applying knowledge to them.</p>
<h3><strong>4. Assign projects to your children to help them build their knowledge base</strong></h3>
<p>To promote a great <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/students-learning-methods">learning experience</a> at home, you can assign projects to your child that will help them build knowledge of different subjects. For example, if they are interested in learning about animals, they may research one specific type of animal more closely. This project should be accompanied by an oral report explaining its findings.</p>
<h3><strong>5. Read together with your children</strong></h3>
<p>Parents need to inspire the passion for knowledge and education within their children. The best way to do this is through reading books with your child at bedtime. Reading books on their favourite topic or genre can encourage young minds to become naturally curious about knowledge on that subject matter. It allows you as a parent to show interest in the learning that your child is fascinated about, inspiring them to do their best.</p>
<h3><strong>6. Set study goals with your children and assign rewards when they reach them.</strong></h3>
<p>The other way to make the most of the child&rsquo;s knowledge and curriculum is by setting short-term and long-term knowledge goals. Make study objectives specific, simple, viable, measurable, realistic, time-bound. Setting knowledge goals with your children will help them become more focused on their knowledge and education and be helpful in the future knowledge world. You can even set rewards for when they reach their knowledge goals &ndash; whether it is ice cream or watching their favourite TV show after finishing schoolwork.</p>
<h3><strong>7. Encourage knowledge contests in your home between siblings</strong></h3>
<p>Encouraging knowledge contests in your home is an excellent way of encouraging young minds to focus on knowledge. Create study contests between you and your child or maybe with siblings. This will encourage learning motivation in children and help them learn win/lose situations.</p>
<h3><strong>8. Create family moments with knowledge</strong></h3>
<p>Create family moments where you discuss what you have learned today, quiz each other on past events or go out to find information that keeps everyone interested! This is another creative way of getting kids involved in knowledge activities. You can also start up discussion groups within your household &ndash; ask everyone to think of 1 question per week and present it at the next meeting.</p>
<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>Knowledge and Curriculum knowledge should not bore children. Promoting a child&rsquo;s knowledge and curriculum is very important without boring them. If knowledge is an integral part of their life, learning motivation can be created within them at a young age, promoting being competitive with knowledge. It is essential to make knowledge enjoyable for kids to bring about inspiration. There are many ways to do this, and you can refer to the eight best practices we have mentioned above.</p>

How Can Your Child Get the Most Out of a Curriculum?

<h2 id="Introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/how-to-get-perfect-handwriting">Creative writing</a> has been shown to help improve grades in many different subjects. This is because such writing helps improve thinking skills, and it also helps students learn more about themselves as writers. If you are looking for ways to boost your child&rsquo;s grade level, then one of the best things that you can do is encourage them to write creatively. In this article, we will discuss how creative writing improves grades and some tips on how you can get your child started with their own creativity!</p>
<p>[video:https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y92BUyAhjKo?si=ARxOCIrIauguH2R1, How to help your child excel in writing]</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="What">What is creative writing?</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/media/creative-writing.jpg" alt="creative writing" width="1024" height="500"></p>
<p>Creative writing is when a person writes about anything that they want, and it does not have to be based on any sort of factual event. Other types of writing often leave the reader with facts and information, however creative writing includes emotions to build a vivid vision in the reader&rsquo;s mind.&nbsp; Creative writing is often seen as a creative outlet for people to express themselves, and it can be used in many different ways.</p>
<p>Creative writing has been shown to improve grades, as well as make students more confident in their own abilities!</p>
<h2 id="How">How Does Creative Writing Improve Grade Levels?</h2>
<p>Now that we know creative writing is a fun way to express one&rsquo;s thoughts, it certainly has benefits for your child. Creative writing improves a child&rsquo;s academics and here are the 10 reasons how!</p>
<h3>The Learning Process Enhances</h3>
<p>Creative writing can be a fun way to express oneself as well as learn.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s not just about using creative words, but also improving how the brain works in learning new things. The process of doing creative work is much like problem-solving: you have a starting point that sets up an issue or question,&nbsp; then you must think of a solution that satisfies the problem or answer.</p>
<h3>It Helps Kids in All Subjects</h3>
<p>Writing is not just about learning how to write, it&rsquo;s also understanding and analyzing what other people are writing. Creative writing improves reading skills because your child will have a better understanding of new words as they read through creative stories with interesting plots.</p>
<p>Creative writing also helps with math skills. It&rsquo;s been found that many kids think of numbers in terms of stories and people, so the creative process can help them build their understanding of math concepts more easily.</p>
<h3>Creativity Improves School Retention Rates</h3>
<p>Creative work is a form of play, which has been proven to increase serotonin levels linked to depression and anxiety.</p>
<p>It also helps to improve your child&rsquo;s study habits, because they are more likely to pay attention in class when they&rsquo;re already thinking about their creative projects at home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Creative Writing Build Confidence in Studying</h3>
<p>This type of writing helps kids feel more confident in their own abilities. It gives them the opportunity to explore different worlds and ideas without fear of being judged, which is something that can be difficult when it comes to schoolwork. The creative process teaches children how they can express themselves creatively through words. Thus, it makes them study and learn more to express themselves creatively.</p>
<h3>Creative Writing Increase Multitasking</h3>
<p>It can help your child learn how to multitask. One study found that creative writers were better at switching between tasks than their classmates who didn&rsquo;t write creatively, and they also scored higher on tests of working memory.</p>
<h3>Communication Skills Increases</h3>
<p>Creative writing also teaches students how to communicate their ideas in a clear and concise manner. This is important for any educational setting, but it&rsquo;s especially true for the higher grades, where verbal communication skills are more heavily relied upon. Your child will communicate well and be good with other students. This will make them learn from their fellow students as well as teach them. Hence, the improvement in grades will be for all the students around.</p>
<h3>Social Skills&nbsp; and Memory Skills Increases</h3>
<p>Publishing creative work can teach children about collaboration. It can prepare them for working on group projects later in life or even starting their own businesses. It strengthens memory skills and increases intelligence. Students will be more focused in class because they&rsquo;re thinking about what happens next to the characters that they have created.</p>
<h3>Comprehension Skill Rises</h3>
<p>Reading forces students to improve reading comprehension skills as well as grammar and vocabulary knowledge. One of the most important things your child can learn in school is how to read.</p>
<h3>Exposure To Language</h3>
<p>It provides an opportunity for students to experiment with different types of words, formats, and sentence structures. It broadens their understanding of the world by exposing them to more than just reading a story about what they did that day or describing who they are as a person.</p>
<h3>Children Learn to Empathize</h3>
<p>Writing helps students empathize with a story&rsquo;s protagonist and understand their feelings, motivations, and reactions better. When they&rsquo;re forced to create characters that have thoughts and feelings of their own, children can more easily get inside the heads of other people&mdash;even if it is only for a short period of time. This habit will also be applied in their day-to-day life. Thus, their good personalities will make them realize how important it is to study well and to help another child as well.</p>
<h2 id="How">Does Creative Writing Pave Career Opportunities?</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img class="wp-image-152695" src="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/Career-Opportunitieso3anyfy1.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://cdn-cms.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/Career-Opportunitieso3anyfy1.png" alt="Career Opportunities" width="1024" height="500" loading="lazy"></figure>
<p>It can also help children develop skills that will be essential in the future. Creative writers are often able to think critically and creatively, two qualities that employers crave in employees.&nbsp; By teaching kids to think creatively, you are laying the foundation for them to be successful later in life.</p>
<h2 id="Final">Final Thoughts</h2>
<p>Kids really enjoy it! Creative writing also teaches children how to be more imaginative and explore their thoughts through art. It can also provide a good way for people who don&rsquo;t know each other well to bond. School grades can be a burden and to evade such thoughts, writing comes in super handy. This is why children score better in academics because their stress can be laid off by their escape- creative writing! By finding their way of writing, kids can turn it into a superpower, allowing them to be more creative while having fun and doing something they enjoy. So keep motivating your little ones.</p>
<p>Keep writing!</p>

<h2 id="But">But Before That, Why Are Children&rsquo;s Books Important?</h2>
<p>As parents, you might wonder what the most important thing is to a child. Well, it is their education and their development. This means that you need to make sure they are reading as much as possible&mdash;not just for school, but because it will help them understand how language works. Reading also exposes kids to storytelling conventions and can help them with empathy. A kid&rsquo;s book is not just a story, it&rsquo;s an introduction to the world and all of its complexities&mdash;but in a fun way that doesn&rsquo;t overwhelm or confuse little minds. So, without further ado: here are ten children&rsquo;s books that must be read by every child.</p>
<h3>Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown</h3>
<p>This book revolves around a cute young bunny that whispers goodnight to everything in the room in a soothing, repeating tone. Instead of a plot, Goodnight Moon examines the world through the eyes of a small kid, calming children through the practice of describing everything in their environment. Since 1947, this book has been winning the hearts of young children.</p>
<h3>Charlotte&rsquo;s Web by E.B White</h3>
<p>No list of this caliber would be complete without the mention of a certain classic starring one plucky pig and a book-loving spider. Charlotte may not have much in terms of personal development, but her friendship with Wilbur is so touching it will melt any heart that isn&rsquo;t made out of stone.</p>
<h3>The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss</h3>
<p>The Cat In The Hat is a classic for good reason, with its easily recognizable style and whimsical story. This children&rsquo;s story follows a cat who visits Sally&rsquo;s house, entertains her and her brother, and then cleans up just before Sally&rsquo;s mother arrives. It&rsquo;s one of those books for children you don&rsquo;t need to be reading aloud from; just show your child the book, and they&rsquo;ll be hooked.</p>
<h3>The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exup&eacute;ry</h3>
<p>This little French fable is a great read for children of all ages thanks to its simplicity and a touching message about friendship. It is about a pilot stuck in the desert who wakes up one morning to find the most remarkable little fellow standing before him. This further takes him to an understanding of life. It&rsquo;s an easy read that will have any child smiling from ear to ear as soon as it&rsquo;s finished.</p>
<h3>The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter</h3>
<p>Peter Rabbit is one of the most iconic characters in children&rsquo;s books, and this book about his adventures with Mr. McGregor has a few important life lessons mixed in. You might think it would be too old-fashioned for your child to like now, but I assure you they will grow into it and love it just as much as the next generation.</p>
<h3>The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams</h3>
<p>This story is a great read for any child who wants to learn about how unconditional love can change everything, or what makes us real. It&rsquo;s all too easy for children to feel like they&rsquo;re not loved enough by their parents at times, or like they&rsquo;re not good enough to be loved, and this story helps them understand that it&rsquo;s okay because love is something you earn over time. It also teaches children about the cycle of life, which can help them appreciate every stage of their own lives as well as those around them better. This one surely is one among the moral rich children&rsquo;s books.</p>
<h3>The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle</h3>
<p>The Hungry Caterpillar is a great read for any child who wants to learn about the importance of being healthy, especially as it becomes harder and harder in our society. It&rsquo;s also fun because you turn every page to see what he eats next! This book can help children understand how important nutrition is for their growth and development, which will hopefully lead them to make healthier choices.</p>
<h3>Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak</h3>
<p>This book has been around since 1963 and is still one of the best-selling children&rsquo;s books. The Wild Things are the perfect example of what children&rsquo;s fantasies can be. They just want to have fun, eat all day long and make mischief-until they get scared by Max, who comes back from his imaginary world! This story will teach your child that everyone feels alone sometimes, but there is always someone you can talk to and who will help you feel better.</p>
<h3>Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson&nbsp;</h3>
<p>This book was published in 1955 and has been a favorite of children ever since. Harold is an imaginative little boy who uses his purple crayon to make the world around him come alive! He learns that he can use his imagination for anything &ndash; from drawing up really tall buildings to going on adventures with tigers, lions, and bears.</p>
<h3>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl</h3>
<p>This story is one of Roald Dahl&rsquo;s most beloved stories. It tells the tale of poor boy Charlie Bucket, who discovers that he and four other children have won a tour through Willy Wonka&rsquo;s chocolate factory! This book is full of adventures, humor, and surprises for young readers. It was also featured as one of J.K. Rowling&rsquo;s top 10 books as a child. The book has received numerous awards and has also been made into a film.</p>
