Significance of holistic development among students

It is important for students of all ages to focus on becoming competent, not only in academics but also extracurricular activities. This, however, can be achieved only by exploiting logical thinking and creative skills. Students are also encouraged to pay honest attention to their strengths while exploring new areas of interest. This will enable them to deal with these unprecedented times, but also broaden their horizon as they embrace new opportunities. Building a set of additional skills will sharpen the mind of students while arming them up with the capability to handle critical situations. Skill building activities help them face challenges and obstacles along their way while increasing neurogenesis and enhancing neuroplasticity. While neurogenesis is the formation of new neurons in the brain, neuroplasticity involves brain’s ability to adapt to changes. Such neurological developments will enable the young minds to learn new things, make better impressions and hone excellent communication skills. Thus, one must remember never to stop learning. The moment you do so, you stop living. Watch this video, where Ms. Anju Mehta, principal of DCG School, sheds light on the significance of growth mindset, building new skills and being lifelong learners.
