Ganesh Chaturthi is an important Hindu festival celebrated in most parts of India. This festival marks the beginning of the Ganpati festival which goes on for ten days. On this day, Hindus celebrate the birth anniversary of Lord Ganesha, the epitome of wisdom and success.
The beauty of this festival gets enhanced with family and friends coming together to rejoice over a common celebration. It is the perfect time to teach your kids about the birth story of Lord Ganesha. It is also the best time to impart Lord Ganesha’s beautiful teachings and life lessons to your kids.
You can choose both direct and passive education styles for teaching your kids about Ganesh Chaturthi and Lord Ganesha. However, your kids might seem more interested in learning via a passive education style rather than the traditional style.
Take a look at our 4 most recommended passive education styles to impart your kids’ important life lessons in the easiest possible ways:
Playing Shlokas, Bhajans, and Chaupayees for your little ones
Kids show huge interest in exploring new stuff. Playing Ganesh bhajans, shlokas with meanings, and chaupayees for your kidswould help them subconsciously develop a deep insight into the life story of Lord Ganesha. Learning about Lord Ganesha will help your little ones in imbibing his values and preserve their child-like innocence no matter how difficult life gets. You can even play life lessons of Ganesha to impart values like honesty, integrity, and respect for parents.
Watching Ganesha movies
Kids are fond of watching movies. You can use this to your advantage by making your kids watch a movie on Lord Ganesha and motivating them to imbibe his beautiful values and virtues for becoming better human beings. If your kids are not a fan of regular movies then opt for watching an animated movie on Lord Ganesha with them. Let your kids know that you are equally invested in watching the animated version of Lord Ganesha movies and utilize every single opportunity that comes your way to teach them about the beautiful qualities of Lord Ganesha and his life journey.
Visiting a temple
Temple visit is an important ritual during Hindu festivities. The aura of the temple and the live bhajans can make anyone feel closer to God and themselves. This Ganesh Chaturthi, take your kids on a temple visit and let them experience the joy of learning. Your kids will enjoy their time at the temple and would look forward to knowing more about Ganesha.
Reading Ganesha stories
Story-telling is one of the most important moments between parents and children. As parents, you can develop a healthier relationship with your child while telling them stories. It helps your child in trusting you more and develop some amazing imagination skills. You can use this opportunity to share some amazing stories of Lord Ganesha, making it more interesting and fun for your kids to learn about Ganesh Chaturthi, and look forward to the festival with the same enthusiasm every year.
Spending time with your kids is the best thing you can do as a parent for your children. This Ganesh Chaturthi, spend quality time with your kids to impart some beautiful knowledge about Lord Ganesha and we are sure they will love your gesture.
