Values and morals for children to learn

Our Magical World

By

Hello everyone,

I am sure most of you must have started your summer vacations. After a whole year of hard work I am sure you all deserve it. Laughing Mum and dad must have planned out some exiting trips or classes for you .

Here is something I would like to ask you to think about..

When you are outside, have you ever looked around and seen all the wonderful things around you..the flowers, the trees, the sky, the clouds, the birds, insects, the different sounds and colours?

Have you ever for a minute wondered what the world would be without them?

There is beautiful hymn called ‘All things bright and beautiful’ about exactly what I’m saying. Press play below or Click here to see the hymn.

 

Now aren’t you grateful that God created all these things?  

So our next pearl of wisdom is GRATITUDE

Gratitude means being thankful each and every day for all that you have your – your five senses, your parents and this magical world that we live in. Promise to care and appreciate everything.  Now whenever your parents have time, go with them to a garden and see and hear all these wonderful things around you.

MY PEARLS OF WISDOM

We will start making a necklace with our little pearls and remember them through this wonderful journey, our life. As you grow up you will see and understand these values in a different light.

This is how our necklace will look.

Today’s value is REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE represented with this symbol.

This sounds very big but very simply it means trying to reduce waste, learning how to handle it and so protecting our environment. The environment is everything around us – air, water, plants and land. We need a healthy environment for health and happiness.

How can we help in this?

Well very easy. Have you noticed that in the craft that we have learnt we use old material from the house?

Here are more things that you can do with waste material instead of throwing it away.

  • You can cut and use old cards to make your birthday invitations or cards to wish mum and dad.
  • Old boxes can be decorated to make a pencil stand for your teacher or a dust bin.
  • Instead of throwing away your old toys you can give them to your maid.

I am sure you have many more ideas, why don’t you share them? Add a comment to this blog if you have any ideas.

So you see we can help to protect our environment and have fun as well.

Honesty

By

Hi, I wonder how many of you spread a smile today. I did…I made some children smile, a worried vendor smile and that made me happy.  (Read my post here about a way to make others happy. )

 

Today I am going to write about HONESTY…Here is a small story about a little boy who wanted candy and asked his mother. She said no as he had not drunk his milk. The boy was angry and sad. He went outside. As he opened the front door, he saw something shining on the floor. He got curious and bent down to see what it was. He was surprised to see it was a five Rupee coin. He picked it up and thought “Well I can use this to buy a candy for myself.”

But he thought for a while and decided to give the coin to his mum as it did not belong to him. When he gave the coin to mum telling her how he found it, his mum was very happy because he had been honest. She gave him a hug and not one but two candies for his honesty.

The boy got not just two candies but a great feeling that he done the right thing. Remember you must not take something that is not yours.

 

I have an idea all these little values that we talk about we will call ‘MY PEARLS OF WISDOM…..

So far we have three pearls – Be Happy, Care and Share, Be Honest.

Care and Share and Be Happy

By

Hello daddies, mummies and all you little darlings! 

This is the first time I am writing and I hope we learn and share with each other. Remember something always ‘care and share,’ it’s no fun just being by yourself.

 

So what is a value?

According to me anything that makes us better people or improves the society

It could be honesty, kindness, courage, happiness, learning to love and give and doing something that makes this magical world a beautiful place to live in.

Now here is something to remember ‘CARE AND SHARE’ and always ‘BE HAPPY.’ Remember when you laugh the world laughs with you but when you cry you cry alone.

So let’s try to be happy and try and make everyone around us happy. It’s difficult but we can try.
