Financial Planning: Key to Your Child’s Optimal Growth

In this game one of the kids becomes doctor and others pretend to be his patients. If your child is into pretending, why not introduce him to the doctor play set? You can put together a fun set that costs next to nothing. It is a great imaginative play and also helps kids learn about body parts.

Requisites: For the doctor mask- Cotton gauze 8′′ x 10′′ ,2 x elastic pieces 10′′ long, safety pin, sewing machine or needle and thread.

To make the doctor kit-

An old case or small box, adhesive paper, a round plate or bowl, red marker.

Items you need for your doctor kit-

Bandages, plastic syringe, plastic tweezers from a dressing kit, tongue depressor, stethoscope (You can find an old stethoscope. Make sure you supervise your child as yelling or banging on stethoscopes can cause hearing damage ), cotton balls or swabs, eye patch, note pad and pen.

Steps:

1) Start by making your surgical mask. Get your gauze square and elastic. Note that the piece of gauze suits your child, measure out a bigger one for an older child. Fold the gauze in half and sew it. Turn inside out and press down to flatten the gauze. Fold the open sides of the gauze over twice and press. This will make the first passage to thread elastic your through. Repeat on the other side. Stitch along these folds. Fasten your safety pin to the end of the elastic piece and thread each through the side tubes. Tie off the ends of the elastic. Move the elastic around to hide the knot.

2) Next, to decorate your doctor’s case, trace a circle around a bowl or plate onto some white adhesive paper. Draw a large medical cross and colour in with a red marker. Cut out your crosses and stick onto your doctor’s case or tin.

3) Fill your doctor’s case with the bandages, plastic syringe, plastic tweezers, tongue depressor, stethoscope and any other “medical supplies” you’ve gathered.

Now prepare yourself to be examined, prodded and bandaged up.

Financial Planning: Key to Your Child’s Optimal Growth

Your child's all-round development combines formal education and creative activities. Mosaic art, for instance, develops hand-eye coordination and boosts confidence, which are the precursors to intellectual and emotional development.

Just as nurturing your child’s growth requires attention, securing the future involves proactive financial planning. Term insurance will provide your loved ones with financial protection for unforeseen emergencies. Considering the rising living costs, choosing a 1 crore term insurance plan will ensure sound protection.

When deciding on a life insurance plan, use a term insurance calculator to estimate the right coverage and premiums and always choose a plan that guarantees long-term financial security.
