Sharing from Dr. Fadzilah Kamsah

Salam and good morning! I got this from FB off of Dr Fadzilah Kamsah's page. It is very interesting and I feel that everyone should read it too.

"As salamu'alaikum shbt tersayang. Ramai yg mohon tip kaedah didik anak menjadi soleh. Org alim sering berpesan: Anak2 yg nakal atau degil semasa kecil, akan menjadi org dewasa yg bijaksana. So tukar paradigma kita ttg anak kita itu. Fikir & kata2 ibubapa/ guru adalah DOA YG MAKBUL. Nabi juga berpesan: Allah bertindak seperti mana yg di fikirkan oleh hambaNya. 

Di antara perkara yg kita boleh lakukan utk bantu anak2 menjadi insan yg soleh:

1. Sentiasa berdoa utk mendapat anak yg soleh. Doa itu senjata terpenting org yg beriman.

2. Didik anak ttg solat & ibadah yg lain sejak kecil. Setelah beri ingatan & amaran, wajar rotan anak yg tak solat di umur 10 thn. Ramai ibubapa yg rotan anak atas berbagai kesalahan, tapi tak sampai 10% ibubapa yg rotan anak sbb tak solat!!!

3. Biasakan anak mengamalkan sunnah2 harian-- mkn & minum, amalan di bilik air, amalan berpakaian, tertib belajar, pergaulan, tertib tidur, dll

4. Pastikan anak2 makan mlm sebelum maghrib spt yg Nabi saw sarankan supaya mudah belajar waktu mlm. Mkn malam lepas maghrib buat anak mudah letih & mengantuk bila belajar. Makanan hadam sekitar 1- 1 1/2 jam selepas makan. So anak boleh belajar dgn berkesan & fokus jika belajar 11/2 jam selepas mkn mlm. Pastikan anak kurang makan daging merah, banyakkan daging putih spt ayam & ikan. Daging merah buat anak irritable & agresif. Pastikan mrk MAKAN BUAH2AN SBLM MAKAN NASI agar badan dpt serap Vit C yg ada dlm buah2an. Vit C membantu tenangkan fikiran anak di samping jaga kulit. Mkn buah selepas mkn nasi adalah amalan yg sia2 sbb badan tak dpt serap nutrien dlm buah2an bila perut dah kenyang!

5. Banyakkan memeluk & memuji anak2. Anak yg sering di peluk & di puji/ belai akan tenang, kurang degil, rasa selamat & di sayangi & tak perlu nak buat nakal utk tarik perhatian ibubapa.

6. Pesan kpd anak utk menghadap Qiblat semasa belajar/ mengaji. Ini akan tingkatkan keberkatan dlm belajar.

7. Beri anak supplemen yg dpt menguatkan minda, tenangkan fikiran & stabilkan emosi. Cuba dapatkan EXCEL SUPREME (tel 03-89255292) atau supplemen lain mengikut pilihan anda.

8. Cari peluang berjumpa guru2 anak di Sek tempat dia belajar. Minta nasihat & bimbingan ttg cara nak bantu anak belajar di rumah.

9. Bacakan di kepala anak: Fatehah, ayar qursi dan surah al Insyirah utk rangsang otak & memori anak dan jadikan dia anak yg tenang, baik akhlak, rajin ke sek & pintar. Bacakan waktu mlm masa anak nak belajar atau waktu anak nak pergi ke sek atau bila2 masa yg sempat.

10. Elakkan anak memakai pakaian berwarna merah atau orange. Ikut kajian, warna merah dan orange akan rangsang anak jadi agresif dan hyperaktif.

11. Suruh anak tidur mengiring kekanan agar otak jadi lebih pintar, puas tidur & ikut sunnah Nabi.

12. Pastikan rezki yg ibubapa terima benar2 berkat dgn mengelakkan perkara haram & syubahat & keluarkan zakat pendapatan & zakat emas perak jika berkenaan. Rezki yg kurang berkat juga jadi punca anak jadi agresif & extra nakal.

13. Kenali kwn2 anak & ziarah ke rumah mrk utk berkenalan dgn ibubapa kwn2 anak.

14. Doakan guru2, kwn2 anak & jiran kita agar cemerlang & soleh. In sya Allah akan di aminkan Malaikat & Malaikat akan doakan kita MENDAPAT APA YG KITA DOAKAN UTK ORG LAIN!

15. Anak tak ingat apa yg ibubapa tuturkan, tapi anak mudah ingat apa yg ibubapa pamerkan. Justeru, ibubapa wajib pamerkan amalan & peribadi yg Allah redha.

16. HARAMKAN SEMUA PERKATAAN NEGATIF (spt bodoh, jahat, degil, malas, bengong, goblok!) dlm rumahtangga. Kata2 ibubapa merupakan doa!

17. Padam semua kata2 negatif yg pernah di sebut kpd anak2 dgn memohon maaf & memuji anak dgn jelas. Cthnya: Abah minta maaf sbb kata kamu bodoh. Sebenarnya anak abah ni pandai-- cthnya: buat homework sblm abah suruh, solat sblm ibu berleter, layan adik dgn baik & tak herdik2. Ikut kajian psikologi: Satu pujian yg jelas akan MEMADAM 300 KUTUKAN YG LALU! Maha suci Allah SWT.

18. Ibubapa takkan mampu MENGUBAH ANAK2! Tapi bila ibubapa berubah, Allah akan ubah anak2. Justeru, ibubapa overhaul diri secara bersepadu agar Allah ubah anak2 jadi hebat & cemerlang.

19. Ibubapa JGN MENGHARAP ANAK2 BERUBAH, SBLM IBUBAPA BERUBAH DULU!

20. Setelah melakukan yg terbaik mengikut kemampuan, KITA BERSERAH KPD ALLAH SWT.

21. Saya BERPESAN KPD DIRI SAYA & KPD SEMUA SHBT TERSYG UTK SAMA2 BERUSHA utk mendidik anak menjadi anak2 yg Allah redha. Aameen, Wassalam."

Combined Science - Topic 20 Classwork

Hello!
Here is the classwork which I gave to you guys this week. You can attempt these questions at home if you want to, but feel free to discuss your answers in class with your group members. I am very sure this is a very challenging exercise, but once you get the gist of it, you will breeze through Topic 19 AND 20.

If you are still stuck, then ask away. :)

Anyway, this classwork is to be handed in next week on Tuesday, 11th March 2014.

Combined Science - Feeling lost with the current topics?

At the moment, we are covering Topic 20 - The Chemistry of Acid, Bases and Salts. This is a chemistry topic. You can have a look at all of the topics we are going to cover here.

This topic is a continuation from Atomic Structure, Ionic and Covalent bonding and Chemical Formulae and Equations.

I have found a few video clips on youtube to guide you through these topics, just in case you have forgotten:

Atomic Structure -

• Parts of an atom 
• The nucleus
• What are electrons?

• Atomic number and mass number (in the Periodic Table)
•  What are ions?
• Isotopes

Bonding

• What are ionic bonds
• Covalent bonds (Part I) and (Part II)

Chemical Formulae and Equation

•  Formulae of ionic compounds (Part I)and (Part II (polyatomic ions))
• Calculating Mass

The Chemistry of Acid, Bases and Salts

• Acid-Base Reactions in Solution
• pH and indicators 

These video clips are at most 5 minutes and some are about 15 minutes, so do take time to watch them in your free time.
Oh! and just for fun, EXPLOSIONS! and Sulfuric Acid reaction with sugar!

What did you think of these videos?

Slides on Topic 2 - Kinematics (Physics) and Topic 20 - Acid, Bases and Salts

Hello!

For those of you who are eager to do some reading before the actual lessons, you can view the slides which I will be using here:

EDIT: Since we were very busy with National Day practice, I have extended the dateline to  Tuesday, 4/3/2014, so make sure you hand your work by then.

Cheers!

Physics Topic 2 - Kinematics

Hello!

We are going to start on Topic 2 - Kinematics real soon, after we finish the last bit of Topic 1. 

So, what is Topic 2 about?
Kinematics is basically all about movements. If an object is moving, most likely we can calculate its speed and acceleration.

Want to get a head start? Then watch these video clips on youtube:

Having problems listening to your teachers in class?

I came across this article and decided to share it with you guys. I know some of you might have problems paying attention in class.  As a student, listening is a very important skill, hence you need to develop your listening skills to ensure the efficiency of your learning experience during our lessons. 

The strategy talked about in the article is known as the HEAR strategy.

The HEAR strategy consists of these four steps:

• Halt: Stop whatever else you are doing, end your internal dialogue on other thoughts, and free your mind to pay attention to the person speaking.
• Engage: Focus on the speaker. We suggest a physical component, such as turning your head slightly so that your right ear is toward the speaker as a reminder to be engaged solely in listening.
• Anticipate: By looking forward to what the speaker has to say, you are acknowledging that you will likely learn something new and interesting, which will enhance your attention.
• Replay: Think about what the speaker is saying. Analyze and paraphrase it in your mind or in discussion with the speaker and other classmates. Replaying the information will aid in understanding and remembering what you have learned.

 You can read the article here.
