We will always find ways to stay joyful!

Congratulating all the children out there, their care takers, teachers, well wishers for inspiring each other, sharing journeys, supporting and holding oneself and another, showing kindness, bonding with togetherness, love and safety, creating newer memories, learning and laughing together, and just having a welcoming, embracing, and positive approach, despite the changed circumstances sometimes bringing challenges

Let the minds stay united and the teams spirited towards wholeness and well-being;
Let the joys always be accessible in more than newer ways;
Let's all continue to jump in each other's company

We are being very hopeful and encouraging a space of authenticity to help children retain their real being while being inspired by creative opportunities

Gratitude!

Let devices not be a source of addiction,
However, an alternate source of education & learning for children & teens

When hands quiver with idleness, picking up a device is seeming to be common these days, whether it's to chat, call, or research or play games or social media
But little do they know when this uncontrolled desire can lead slowly to addiction

So what then?

Before it's becomes naturally tough to regulate this usage for them,
- They can be helped in finding comfort in themselves, just as they are through simple mindful living n fun practices
- Let them not be pressurized by peers for owning or using better devices
- Strengthening human experiences, bonds in the family is a strong key
- Creating daily culture as a family leading by example formally to use minimum gadgets for limited duration only by all
- Encouraging creativity through means that does not necessarily require device technology, my own ideas, visual representations, etc
- Essential to make the device a shared resource (parental viewing at any time) for anyone below 17 yrs
- Visuals on the device are not a great companion during meals, it could be the meal itself, and the connection with the beings around
- Understanding the difference between device as a necessity, comfort or luxury for the child, based on the age
- Parents encouraging fun open conversations with children and teens to allow inter-dependant culture to set or strengthen, supported with trust, love, patience, and non judgement
- Above all, it's about channelling the creative stimulation that surfaces on engaging with a device, into broader capabilities n masterpieces

DONT STOP THEM
JUST HELP THEM REGULATE THE USAGE

Did we share how we shared so much joy with each other during the with organized by on 6th Sep for children aged 8 to 12 yrs

The pictures speak for themselves, and our intention was just to chillax n ease out with fun activities for overall well-being. Inspite of technological hindrances, we made the best of our time together, and grateful for such participative, supportive and joyful young minds

By the time we reached Week 11 of the virtual program, it was natural to allow & motivate the empowered children to lead portions of the session to learn from each other through the The Supporting Champions Collective, towards nourishing a community of creative geniuses

We created space for a combination of learning
- Motivational lines & what it means to each of us, by Aathrei
- Life & moral lessons from self created story, by Shivani
- Dance movement knowledge & representation, by Aabha
- Cultural knowledge of musical instruments, by Tvisha
- Fun movements to strengthen the body, by Nivaan
- Fun term to describe the bigger/ larger self from the space of mindful awareness, by Megha (Facilitator)

We also encouraged approach to build in attitude towards each other, for children as they live in continuously learning environments. Hence, working collectively towards the common purpose of generating & nourishing knowledge and experiences.

With this, we feel super thrilled by the created responses, this far and look forward to more deeper connections

ENJOY THIS WEEK'S TIP FROM OUR STUDENTS:
We openly express ourselves and happy that we don't need to hide them

Oh how these expressions are loved, and enjoyed by all. Also encouraged are expressions of unrest, anger, sadness, etc to allow that to be heard too.
The children then trust that all can be expressed and openly. These two beautiful souls, brought out a series that you may get tired of watching, but their energies are non-tiring. Oh, what a bundle ❤

We encourage a space of freedom and bring in elements to help channel their creativity to its best
