Child Psychology Understanding the Mind Behind the Child

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE Child Psychology Understanding the Mind Behind the Child Every child is developing a mind, discovering a world, building relationships and learning what it means to be themselves. “Behind every child's behaviour is a developing mind, a growing emotion, and a story waiting to be understood.” Childhood is far more than a preparation for adulthood.

Jallikattu -Traditional sport of Tamil Nadu(India)

Introduction

Jallikattu is an ancient sport. The seals of the Indus Valley civilization depict it, which is proof that this sport was in vogue 5,000 years ago. Ancient Tamil poetry, known as Sangam literature (2nd BCE – 2nd CE), has many detailed references to Eru Thazhuvuthal (hugging the bull).
History

Jallikattu  also known as Eru thazhuvuthal is one of the traditional sport in which a Bos indicus bull is released into a crowd of people. Multiple human participants attempt to grab and tightly "hug" the large hump of the bull and hang on to it while the bull attempts to escape. Participants hug the hump for as long as possible, attempting to bring the bull to a stop. In some cases, participants must ride long enough to remove flags affixed to the bull's horns.  Jallikattu is typically practiced in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu as a part of Pongal celebrations on Mattu Pongal day.

But life teaches us an important truth: not everyone will understand your value—and that is okay. “Never exhaust yourself trying to prove your worth t...
