Dear parents,

As it is rightly said … ‘If you create an environment where the people truly participate, you don’t

need control. They know what needs to be done, and they do it.’And the more that people will

devote themselves to a cause on a voluntary basis, on a willing basis, the fewer hierarchs and

control mechanisms you need. We are not looking for blind obedience. In the current scenario,

we’re looking for people who on their own initiative, want to be doing what they’re doing because

they consider it to be an objective worthy of being attached to.

How does this feeling of attachment come? You get attached to what you serve. You get attached to

whom you serve.

Seems strange! In receiving so much, the receiver should feel the attachment for the giver, but in

reality, the giver feels more attached to the receiver than the other way around.

Though the seeker will receive infinitely more than what he can ever give to aguru, the seeker is

asked to serve the GURU in all possible ways. More than just being with the guru, representing the

cause of the guru is considered a greater blessing. But why? It is in serving the guru he will feel the

attachment to the guru, and it is in feeling the attachment to the guru he will connect with the guru,

and in connecting with the guru he will dissolve into the guru, and in dissolving into the guru he will

find the path and purpose of his life. Similarly, in serving the society you actually serve yourself. You

don’t liberate the other through your service. You serve for your salvation.

So, as parents, apart from everything you do for your children – young and grown up, it is crucial to

create the contexts for them to serve you. The theory of you wanting to be independent and not

dependent on anybody is good for you, but not good for your children. It is in serving you, they will

learn to value elders. As educators, apart from the education you choose to impart to your

students, it is important to create the context for them to serve you, as well as, the school. A sense

of belonging can never be created in the students unless they get to do something for the school

and teachers. As head of the family, let the children get involved in celebrating certain occasions in

the allowable premises.

It is by giving, we truly receive. It is in serving, we are truly served. It is in losing ourselves to

something, we gain everything. There is only one way to feel one with anything – SERVE.

“The best way to find yourself is to loose yourself

in the SERVICE OF OTHERS.”

No one would have guessed that a virus-like

Covid-19 would come without differentiating,

it will alter the lifestyle of people. Due to

Covid-19,many changes came to our world and

it took some time for everyone to adopt the

new normal. The Covid-19 impact was

everywhere, which resulted in the closure of

Schools and other educational institutions.

Teachers who are all experts in Blackboard,

Chalk, books and classroom teaching are really

new to this digital teaching, but they are

adopting the new methods and handling it like

a pro to aid the students in the current

position.

Technology paves the way for education, thus

helping the students and teachers to connect

virtually through online classrooms, digital

exams and so on.

Everything is happening for the well-being

shifted online. Celebrations at school often mean a beautifully

The fervour remains, and the celebration has gone virtual. We in

Bal Mandir also have celebrations virtually were children have

participated with full enthusiasm and zeal.

The Independence Day and Republic

day was celebrated with patriotic

fervour, however there was a slight

twist added to the celebration. Owing

to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, a

virtual touch was given to the marking.

Students actively participated in the

activities by keeping their spirits high

and exhibiting their patriotic attitude

The purpose behind celebrating is to

spread awareness about good nutrition,

and health. We at Bal Mandir took

initiative focussing on nutrition, good

food, healthy body, mind, and lifestyle.

Nutrition is the practice of consuming

and utilizing foods. A balanced diet is

important for good health and well-being.

We should include a healthy diet in our

daily routine like whole grains, fruits,

vegetables, fat-free milk, etc. full of

nutrition which not only helps in growth

but also makes the immune system strong.

Keeping this in mind a nutrition chart has

been prepared and shared to parents to

inculcate healthy eating habits among

children. Nutrition week was celebrated

from 1 st to 7 th September 2021.

Music in Life

Music plays a very important role in our life. We

can work while hearing the music. When we think

about the origin of the music it is nature. Man is

the best part of nature. The sweet and humming tone

of nightingale, skylark, cuckoo. The sound of river,

air, thundering, sound of sea waves are song of

Smt.Ashiwini Koranne

nature.

Music is also known as the universal language of humanity. From birth, parents

instinctively use music to calm and soothe children and to express love and joy and

to engage and interact. Children of all ages express themselves through music. It’s

obvious music has numerous positive impacts on not only our daily life but also on

early childhood development. From lullabies, nursery rhymes and more, music can

help build and intimate connection with your child. Music ignites all areas of

child development and skills for school readiness including intellectual, social,

emotional, motor, language and over all literacy. It helps the body and the mind

work together. For children and adults music helps strengthen memory skills.

Music has the power to bring positivity and entertainment in our life. Everyone

loves music because it holds the power to transform the mood and bring a sense of

relief in our life. Music never leaves the person alone during difficult times in

life. Music helps us in easily expressing ourselves. Music can bring a sense of

relief and reduce the struggle of our daily life. It can be a good escape to calm your

mind. Music can also be described as a therapy for many people because it has the

power to heal the problems. Like anxiety, depression, etc.

Music is a part of the meditation in many workshops to make people positive.

Music is the essence of life. Music is also a very powerful mean to connect with

God and our soul. Music is the purest form of worship of God. We cannot

imagine . We cannot imagine our life without music

Childhood

Childhood is the first stage of our life .It is a time of

relaxing and we can spend time without any tension

,worry or pressure just we want to enjoy .And we all

spends that fantastic and memorable time with great

Smt.Darshana Mathew

joy and happiness. And we have learnt so many things

from our childhood . watching Mahabharata,

Ramayana on Doordarshan and stealing Mangoes and

flowers from others garden. First School, Teacher

,Friends.

Emotionally we all are very much attached with our childhood .Because lots

of our memories, are filled with different emotions. Childhood is the best

time period to teach different things to our children at this age they can

explore a lot and learn very fast all the things.

As a teacher or as a parent if we want that our child should learn

something then this is the correct time to teach our children about

respect, manners ,love, care, Shlokas and also about good and bad

behaviour.

Childhood is very important for each and every child. We can give proper

shape to our children because they are like raw material in our hands. We

can nurture them very well at this age by giving him or her lots of

experiences and chance to do something. But as well as emotional support

is also important for children at this time period.

Emotional support of their parents ,teachers, caretakers .Childhood

emotional neglect occurs when a child’s parent fail to notice a child’s

emotional needs .For example :-Child who tells their parent they’re sad

about a friend at school. The parent brushes it off as a childhood game

instead of listening and helping the child. After some time child begins to

learn that their emotional needs are not important for anyone. The most

common symptoms of emotional neglect in childhood are Depression,

anxiety, hyperactivity ,developmental delays etc.

And if as a parent or a teacher we give them proper care and positive

childhood experiences then it effects a lot in child’s mind it promotes

physical, emotional ,social and cognitive development.

That’s why childhood is very important part in everyone’s life.

Parenting a special child

Parenting is not an easy task. It is challenging and

demanding. People feel parenting as an overwhelming

task until they become one. But what will happen when

you suddenly come to know that your child is a child who

Smt.K.R.Shrikala

requires special attention throughout the life.

Nothing can make you a perfect parent of a special child as daily you

will come across new challenges while bringing them up. You never know

the types of challenges you come across as there is no formulae for

parenting a special child. The only formula is to be ready always to

handle any type of unpredictable challenge and accept it.

any parents do not accept that their child needs special attention.

Until you accept your child with all the disabilities, you may not be

able to understand them. So, the first step towards a good parenting

is the acceptance. You accept your child as he/she is, then you will be

able to become a good parent.

Standard parenting strategies work with my other children.

Consistency and loving discipline are the key. Not with this child.

❖This child doesn’t respond to time outs.

❖He doesn’t respond to typical consequences as expected.

❖Spankings only exasperate the situation.

❖Rewards do little to help improvement.

❖New strategies are needed, and they are hard to discover and hard

to implement as a united front.

❖There is a lot of trial and error.

❖Failed attempts at discipline are the norm.

❖Defeat is a reality.

❖ Yet determination and love persist.

Remember following things while dealing with your special child:

❑You are not the only parent

❑Recognize the needs of your child

❑Recognize their skills

Recognize your own strengths to deal with situations

❖Ask for help

❖Keep yourself engaged

❖Listen to your inner thoughts

❖Celebrate in all situations

❖Let live your inner parent

❖ Last but not the least – be PATIENT

Significance Of Nutrition

In Early Childhood Development

Healthy food choices have a strong impact on a child’s

growth. Each child’s meals should include a fruit, a vegetable

,grains, a source of protein and dairy. Nutrition may not be

the list of child’s favourite things but it is important to the

childhood development.

Smt.Shobha Upadhyay

The food we eat every day contains the following dietary essentials.

Proteins, Fats, Carbohydrates, Minerals, Vitamins.It provides the body

with fuel such as fats and carbohydrates which are oxidized in the body

to supply the energy required for the development of a child.

Functions of proteins are:-

✓Promotion of growth

✓Production of metabolic and digestive enzymes and blood cells

✓Production of hormones

✓Production of antibodies and building up the body to fight against

infection.

Every child needs energy and agility for his overall development ,Nutrition

is most important for the child’s growth and wellbeing .

PARENTING!

All children have rights in life. Right to know, Right to

be cared, Right to education, Right to childhood, Right

to be heard, Right to be healthy, Right to be treated

fairly. It`s the responsibility of the parents to protect

the rights of their children until they are old enough to

take their own decisions.

Smt.Simmran

Shambhuwani

This is PARENTING. Parenting is a big responsibility that cannot be taught by

others, the way it is taught from generation to generation will not help. With

the change of generation the wants and needs of children have changed a lot.

You don’t need to teach the child to be successful, you need to teach them to

be happy in life. Understand your child and build a strong parent-child

relationship. Answer each and every small and silly questions asked by your child.

Give them your precious time. This Golden time will never come back but will be

preserved in memories and build a strong base for parent-child relationship.

Childhood is a very important part of a child`s life, It decides how the child will

be in future. So the parents should be a perfect role model for their children

,Because ``your children will become what you are ‘’ so, be a perfect Role model

for them.

Put efforts in making a child`s childhood special.

HAPPY PARENTING!

The New Me…..

Dear Harvi ….

I’m writing you this letter from the future. Don’t throw it away. The important thing is to read what I

have to say. You should do more with your life. In five years from now, you’re only beginning to realize

your potential in life. Start now. For too long you’ve been unhappy with where you work. You’ve been

looking for more to your life. You were afraid to try new things for fear of failing.

Dear Harvi ….

Smt.Harvinder

Kaur Sibal

I’m writing you this letter from the future. Don’t throw it away. The important thing is to read what I have to say.

You should do more with your life. In five years from now, you’re only beginning to realize your potential in life. Start now.

For too long you’ve been unhappy with where you work. You’ve been looking for more to your life. You were afraid to try new things

for fear of failing.

There is no success without failure. If you look at some of the most successful people they have failed numerous times. They didn’t

give up because they believed in what they were doing. Don’t let failure stop you.

Take care of your body better. You’ll go through phases where you gain weight and lose weight but stay consistent and healthy. You

do your best work when you’re exercising and eating right.

Don’t think buying more things will make you happier. The definition of success isn’t shown by the things you own. Even if you buy a

nicer car or a bigger television won’t make you happy for long. Surround yourself with inspiring people and Read more books.

Don’t try and multitask. You’re terrible at it. Focus on one task at a time without distraction. You’ll get more done in less time.

Trust me it’s taken me five years to figure that out. I’m going to save you some time.

Don’t complain about not having time to do things Instead of making a to do list, try to make a list of things you shouldn’t do so you

have more time.

Be thankful for what you have and you’ll have more. Thinking of what you don’t have will only keep bringing you nothing. You won’t

believe how powerful gratitude is. It’s changing my life everyday. It can improve your health, wealth and relationships. Besides, life

is a gift and you should be most thankful for that.

If you don’t like yourself, then nobody will like you. How do you expect to be a person everyone wants to be around when you don’t

even like yourself? Start by changing your attitude about yourself and only then will people be drawn towards you.

See you in five years.

Sincerely,

Harvinder sibal
