Learned it from my daughter
Before I start, for those who have not read about me or not aware of my family back ground, I am married and blessed with a daughter ( 4 yrs) (Suchi ) and a son (1 year and 6 months) ( Shashank). Couple of days back, we were about have the dinner and my wife was serving the food. After rice and ghee were served to everyone, my daughter started saying slokas of Annaporni and then she started having. I got surprised and realized that teacher has advised them to do at home also. My wife spoke to the teacher next day and teacher has explained its hardly 2 days they started practising and she never told or insited the kids to say the slokas before meal. it was surprise to her also. Next day again in the night, we both said to the little girl, please teach us also and we will follow this practise next time and every time. Suddenly she grinned and i am sure she would have felt for a change she is teaching us. she taught us and at the end of the sloka, she said "now you guys can have your food".
Couple of reasons for me to do the blogging is, we always saw/ heard/ seen children copying their parents on every approach/aspect whether its good or bad. I felt the encouragement that i gave it to my daughter will explore her to learn new things which we were not aware or not following. Any kid, would prefer to be called only as good kids and expect some rewards as well. Why not reward them for these kind of new things ?
