We love that our new look has been so well received and thank you for your very constructive feedback and ideas on how to make Yalla a better resource for parents in Abu Dhabi. We hugely appreciate it. And thank you, as ever to our advertisers and all our distributers who make Yalla possible. In this issue of Yalla we have some new things as well as the useful favourites. Yalla is not just about younger children. Yalla is also for the many teenagers living here. So, we have been talking to some of you and scouting around for ideas all of which you can find in Teenage Time page 18! Also in this issue you can find our suggestions of things to do this spring, as well as new listings for family days in Dubai and Al Ain. Toddler Time has been updated for the new term and knowing just how useful the directory is, we have invested time in ensuring that all the details are correct. At time of going to press anyway! Online we are now on Facebook and Instagram as Yalla Abu Dhabi - a useful resource for sharing ideas and information. And, great news, our website will be launching on the 14th February and will be so much more than an online directory. Look forward to it being a real ‘go to place’ for families in Abu Dhabi with events, new openings and all the things that Yalla Loves about Abu Dhabi! And do enter the competition on page 7 for your chance to win a place on the Future Falcons Programme at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club. We truly believe we are the Know It All Family Guide For Abu Dhabi!

SPRING 2016

g n i n e p p a What's h own! around t

Get physical! ...love different sports? ...and there are many! You could take it one step further with competitive events on the track, desert or in the water with www.premieronline.com or look up clubs & events at Zayed Sports City.

Put something back! ...Why not do some volunteering? Volunteer in the UAE page 36 has a whole host of projects, regular & one off, to get involved in. From collecting old clothing to animal rescue and audio book recording for the blind, there is such a range of very worthwhile ways you can help.

Get Gaming! ...and we don’t mean on devices... Join the board games movement that is rapidly gaining a huge following. There is much more to it than Ludo or Snakes & Ladders as you can find out at Back to Games in Boutik Mall page 39. Join them to play a host of intriguing & challenging board games. Either drop in or join one of their theme nights.

Get into the kitchen! ...One of the certain things in life is the need to eat... ...so it’s a good idea to learn to cook. Gather a group of friends & either persuade a parent to teach you or head to Lana’s page 5 or Jones The Grocer who both run cookery classes.

FOR YOU!

Today’s teachers are facing a huge dilemma. How do you help children think laterally and independently when league-table pressure forces you to teach to the test? How do you encourage a challenging mind-set when in order to gain a good grade, pupils are expected to regurgitate what the examiner wants? The restrictions that an exam-led curriculum often places on teaching practices are also evident when it comes to the inspection regime. As school inspectors continue to narrow their field of vision and assessment criteria, there is a real risk that schools will become conformist machines spewing out pupils who can recite facts and figures in core subjects, but have no ability to deal with the complex emotional, social and political challenges they will face in the future. It is here that Brendan Law, Headmaster at Cranleigh Abu Dhabi says innovation must play its greatest hand. “Perhaps the ultimate challenge in education today is to ensure children learn how to tick the box while developing their ability to think outside of it. Life is full of protocol and regulation. The capacity to negotiate and navigate the rulebook is critical. However, if we allow children to leave school with this as their only skill, we will have failed as educators.” Mr Law is quick to elaborate: “Don’t get me wrong. Exams are important. Enhancing standards through inspection bodies is necessary. What is worrying is when these two things get in the way of upskilling children to deal with a fast paced and changing world. “Innovation in education is more important than ever,” he concludes. “And we can innovate by empowering children to do three things: try, think and make mistakes.” Try - Exposure to a diverse range of opportunities fosters a culture of inclusion and involvement. Through individual and team sports, creative and performing arts, competitions and debates, children

become risk takers learning a host of important interpersonal and life skills from time management to teamwork and self-discipline to decision making. Many also find their hidden passions and talents. Think - The integration of diverse educational techniques is fundamental in breeding a generation of thinkers. Everyone learns in different ways so to engage each pupil intellectually, lessons need to be taught in a variety of styles. From facilitating peer-to-peer learning to the inclusion of student-centred models like the flipped classroom, great teachers motivate children to enquire beyond the traditional text book. When a school instils a questioning approach, it energises conversation and sows the seed of open and discriminating minds. Make Mistakes - Only through error can children become at ease with embracing challenges as learning opportunities. By slipping up from time to time, they learn resilience, tenacity and courage. They learn to experiment and imagine without fear of consequence. Ultimately, innovation only happens when a school promotes active participation within and beyond the academic curriculum. Gone are the rote days of pupils sitting still, copying down every word written on the board. Teachers should no longer be mere instructors; they need to be coaches, learning facilitators and inspirers. As Theodore Levitt said: “Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.” www.cranleigh.ae

Advertisement Feature Work with your child’s teacher to ensure that he/she sits your child at the front of the class, where it is easier to pay attention, along with using signals to help your child stay on task. Also, find ways to praise him/her with constructive criticism between compliments, giving short and simple directions and looking him/her in the eye when communicating.

What is ADHD? ADHD stands for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. It is also referred to as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and is one of the most common childhood neurobehavioral disorders. Awareness of this disorder is relatively new in the Middle East, where it was previously misunderstood to be a disciplinary issue among children with hyperactivity (hyperactivity and ADHD are two different diagnoses) or as a cognitive impairment among inattentive children.

as an example. It is also important for parents to understand that your child’s diagnosis is not a reflection of your parenting, but know that family conflicts can contribute to the severity of ADHD.

In the UAE, we do not have a recorded number of patients with ADHD. In the US as a comparison, an average of 8.8% of patients ages 4-17 have a current diagnosis of ADHD, and 4% of adults have been diagnosed. Generally, children with ADHD: • Talk nonstop • Have trouble sitting still • Do not seem to listen when spoken to • Daydream, become easily confused and move slowly • Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless they are doing something enjoyable

What Treatment Options are Available? Treatment of ADHD can be both medical and behavioral, and should focus on improving functioning. Behavioral modifications can be encouraged through the combined efforts of the family and the school by: • Keeping your child’s routine the same every day • Including time for homework, outdoor play and indoor activities • Structuring the child’s classroom environment to accommodate his/her needs

ADHD in a Clinical Setting If necessary, pediatricians and parents can decide on medical treatment options to complement behavioral modifications – where together, we look to improve both the child’s behavior and his/her school performance. I have seen many ADHD cases at Healthpoint Hospital, starting in patients six years of age and consisting of hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity. We successfully treat many of these cases behaviorally with no need for medical treatment. I advise parents to watch for any of the mentioned symptoms and to visit a pediatrician, such as those on the Healthpoint Hospital team, as soon as possible for further evaluation. If we start treatment early on, we can make a huge difference in children’s social and academic lives and help them to become successful adults.

Dr. Ahed Bisharat is a Pediatric Consultant at Healthpoint Hospital, a Mubadala Company located in Zayed Sports City, Abu Dhabi. He has more than 20 years of experience in pediatric care across the region and has a special clinical interest in ADHD cases.

As a parent, you should understand that ADHD is a medical disorder – not a disciplinary problem – and is not a result or lack of willpower on your child’s part. It should not be confused with a lack of intellect, nor should it be an indicator of how smart a child is; Albert Einstein had ADHD,

Funding higher education requires expert financial planning High quality education is one of the most valuable gifts you can give your children. It is, however, a significant expense and this is certainly the case for higher education. Higher education, whilst optional, can be a vital stage to help your children become successful in life. Whilst we know that money isn’t everything, graduates do earn twice as much as those without a degree1. In today's terms educating your child overseas and providing accommodation will cost around £100,000 but by 2030, with inflation, this will have more than doubled to £200,000!
