Breaking out of the shell will result in development and growth\n\nStaying in one\u2019s comfort zone can sometimes inhibit growth, and taking children out of it can ultimately be good for them. <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Let\u2019s face it \u2013 the comfort zone is the best place to be in whether you\u2019re a child or an adult. It makes us feel safe and protected. But if one is not taken out of that bubble, he or she may never grow or be open to new experiences. And until and unless you face the world, you will always fear what\u2019s out there.<\/p>\n

Miss Hanouf Al-Tasan from Future Experts Kindergarten shares her experience of a little boy who didn\u2019t want to leave his comfort bubble\u2026<\/p>\n

Who doesn\u2019t like cookies or any form of junk or comfort food \u2013 it just gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside! I once had a little boy named *Saleh in my KG 3 class who wouldn\u2019t eat anything but cookies \u2013 he wanted to binge on them all day.<\/p>\n

Apart from the fact that it doesn\u2019t count as nutritious or even a proper meal, eating cookies equates a \u2018sugar overdose\u2019 and that can never be a good thing.<\/p>\n

I asked his mother to pack him a sandwich and milk for lunch but she told me it wouldn\u2019t make a difference because he wouldn\u2019t touch it. \u201cHe will only eat cookies or throw a tantrum,\u201d she told me. I told her to pack it regardless.<\/p>\n

When it was time for lunch, we organized sandwiches in varying shapes such as hearts, stars, etc. to appeal to the children.<\/p>\n

Saleh refused to eat them at first but when he saw how excited his friends were when the different shaped sandwiches came in, he became interested to know what all the excitement was about. One kid picked up a star-shaped one while the other picked up the heart-shaped one.<\/p>\n

I saw the twinkle in Saleh\u2019s eyes \u2013 it was something he hadn\u2019t seen before. He soon approached the lunch table to pick one up. He fiddled around with it at first but then decided to take a bite. Then he selected another fun shape and gulped it down.<\/p>\n

The next day, his mom had packed him a sandwich as discussed and this time, he was very keen to eat it.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we just need to create some excitement for children to lure them in\u2026munching on cookies was like staying in his comfort zone but when Saleh tried out something new, his attention and interests were diverted in a new direction!<\/p>\n
