Happy Students Shine brighter

5 min readFeb 25, 2021

The happier they become, the brighter they will be.

It can be scientifically proven that happier students are able to study more easily as compared to those who are stressed and anxious. Happiness and positive emotions create hormones called dopamine and serotonin. When these substances are released into the brain they have positive effects on our memory as well as our brain’s ability to learn. A school is a place, where a student spends more than half of his day, that's why school is also known as “Second Home”. In school students are taught about the reason for their existence, the logic behind every occurrence, and their very reason for life but what if they are so scared, anxious, depressed in their school that they don’t what to go to school.

We all know that students never want to go to school and they always make excuses to avoid going to school. Most of the parents ignore their real grief and force them to go to school. There are very few parents who are concerned about their child’s mental wellbeing and thus they ask the reason for not going to school. Most of the students avoid going to school because they don’t enjoy those monotonous classes in school, we can notice this from the very small thing. They never want to miss school on the day when they are having their games period and surely they will try their level best to miss school on the day. When they are having most classes of theory but we know that these studies are equally important in a student's life, so what should we do to encourage them to study.

It increases their level of productivity

Creative teaching that engages students while teaching and takes them into a different imaginary world is always what students need and want. When the teacher gives them an example, they are lost in their imagination, and it's absolutely true that every student thinks differently that’s why if the teacher is teaching about bacteria, each and every student in the class will imagine bacteria differently. Some will imagine about a rod-shaped bacteria, some spherical and some will thing of irregular shape at the same time some will imagine it in red color, some in purple and some will another, what if their teacher takes them into their school’s biology lab after telling the topic theoretically and show them under a microscope that how do a bacteria really looks. They would never forget about that color, shape, and size and the thing that matters most is they will enjoy and will be happy in coming to school daily and really learning the things not that too not just by remembering but by understanding.

We all have seen parents saying to their young children, see “This is monkey he eats bananas ”. “This is the dog he barks ”, but have we ever wondered that this mere small recognization makes them understand about the real world that they are not able to get only through books. Yes books are having pictures but live experience can’t be replaced by any picture, be if any award living picture.

That’s why it's imperative that students should be taken for educational excursions where they can see their bookish knowledge being applied in real life. Only then they will enjoy learning and will understand every concept by heart when they will see butterflies coming out of its cocoon, insects doing pollination. They will never forget it and with that will never forget those thrilling feelings. Those beautiful experiences will not only make them excited but will promote feeling to explore and create with an enthusiastic approach. Thomas Edison would not be able to invent the bulb if have only studied textbooks and never tried to work with electrical equipment himself, that’s why it's necessary to do study practically.

With them, students should not always be forced to study but there should be a positive atmosphere in school as well as in class. Students should be frank about their feelings with teachers and their batchmates. Studies are always taken as luggage that is the major problem faced by most of the students. But every problem has a solution, if students are not feeling lively in school then the school should organize different fun trips motivating students to live a happy and cheerful life and enjoying while studying.

Cheerfulness helps stimulating up their development

These days students are so much under work pressure, even small primary students are learning how to do programming. They don’t know how to play badminton but they know how to play games on phone. Yes, we are heading towards development but it should not be at the cost of these small children smiles, these days more numbers of small children are found anxious and depressed as there were earlier.

So, the need of the hour is to be a responsible parent, understanding teacher, and a helping friend. Why follow the same things which are coming from past generations, if we are new then our ways should always be new, we have to be different to be irreplaceable. So it’s time to promote practical and happy learning as:
