We have a whole lot of entrepreneurs in India who run various businesses. However a handful of these have entered the education space and truly left a mark in terms of building institutions that have transformed generations. These are individuals that aspired to leave a legacy behind - they maybe long gone but their names live forever. These are individuals that started schools and other educational institutions.

Education is an integral part for the growth of any economy. Initially, most schools and colleges were government-run or convent schools that were government-aided, there were very few private schools as the same was restricted. However, over the last 2 decades, private players were allowed to enter this space. While today staring a school is seen as a business proposition for people, it is still a noble cause. Most individuals start schools with the goal to leave a legacy behind – to transform society and always be seen in society as someone who started a venture that nurtured and groomed young minds and young lives.

As children grow up parents and children go through the anxiety of choosing the right career path, the right set of decisions for further studies to help children follow their passions etc. Children are at a stage where they are still exploring what they would like to do, while parents aspire to send their children to the best universities for education. There is a complete mismatch here because as a society we equate success to money and look for careers that pay the most.

From the time you wake up, you have a set pattern of going about your chores. You follow the same routine every day. This comes to you naturally as the routine works like clockwork for you. If you look at it closely you rarely change that flow. When you have to add a new activity it takes time to fit it in as it's new to you and you go about using a checklist or an alarm to remind you of this new activity, till it becomes part of your routine. In short, this is how you organize your day. Organizing your day is important as you can efficiently get your tasks accomplished. The same also applies also to children. It is important to inculcate organization skills in children so that their time is spent effectively during the day and they feel like they have had a balanced productive day.

Children in their teens are the most affected by various factors like peer pressure, body image, dealing with changes, and more. They go through a whole lot of changes and this also disturbs their sleep cycle. Most teens are known to be rebels without a cause. They deify everything including sleep. They enjoy late nights either partying or just staying at home binge-watching. Instead of losing your hair and fighting with them parents and counsellors should sit them down and talk about the importance of sleep and the ill effects of not resting enough. Teens are smart they will eventually turn around.
