Enhancing Virtual Learning - A word to the parents..

Percep�on ma�ers to see the world in its true beauty, isn’t it? Today’s scenario is a perfect opportunity to
put this thought to prac�ce. The pandemic has put us to task, but on a posi�ve note, the world has learnt

to see a lot of things through a different lens, educa�on being one among them.

The idea of educa�on has taken a different shape and is being considered by the family of educators and
parents in the most careful and delicate manner. Both the groups are striving to closely evaluate the current

need of the child and fulfil it in the best way possible.

To ease this process, and to help see an opportunity in these trying �mes, we offer to share a perspec�ve.

Today parents hold a pivotal role in enhancing the virtual learning game and empowering educators with
their support. Here’s how.

1. While children are with parents through out owing to the ongoing situa�on, we look at the

opportunity parents have to re-examine their bond with their children . The pandemic has but opened
doors to know our children be�er- their tastes, interests and capabili�es. It takes us many steps closer

to our children.

2. To know our child is to understand and set reasonable goals for him/ her to step up his/ her confidence.

Unrealis�c goals only stand as forever hurdles in any child’s life and shut the door to discovering their
best side.

3. There is a gap in learning of a child when there is a gap in communica�on between the educator and

the parent. Therefore, regular correspondence about the child’s progress, needs and challenges faced
by the child, with the teachers helps them to reach out to the child with required support.

4. The young minds today are the most aware of all �mes. They are quick, smart and excellently adap�ve,
yet, there is always a need for guidance to help them acquire the skill sets that suit today’s �mes and

make a fine career. Parents have an opportunity to discuss the reality, challenges associated with it and
all that it takes for the child to stand as an independent and passionate individual.

5. The world is open to children online and so are the threats that come along. It is impera�ve that
children are educated about Cyber Crime and ways to keep themselves safe. We must remember that

they belong to the most vulnerable group on digital media.

Sherwood believes that school and home share a common purpose - the overall development of the child.
With a change in perspec�ve, we are a step closer to realizing this purpose.
