Festive season has already begun and one can hear the drums
welcoming Maharashtra’s favourite Ganapati Bappa at the doorstep. And the worst
fear of drought is swept away with enough downpours lately. So, there is
relief, there is joy, there is celebration.
Let me wish you all a very happy and blissful festive
season. Festivals have this inherent feeling of joy and excitement. And that is
the soul of the process of true learning. I genuinely think that learning is a
lifelong festival. All that we yearn in learning is embedded in the spirit of
festivals… social values, joy of giving, celebration of life, knowing, sharing,
helping, enjoying, happiness and bliss.
Let the child be a part of festivals. And that should not be
limited to shopping only. Children learn a great deal through participation.
Make the child a part of the whole process… explain little things, answer the
queries—no matter how trivial they seem, interact and ask about his/her
reactions…
Children are never too small to learn!!!
