Pune (Voice news service):- There is always something to be grateful for. “Joy is the simplest form of gratitude.”
-Karl Barth Gratitude is a human feeling that results from recognizing and appreciating the good things in life; it is a virtue that must be developed and practiced from a very young age. Being a fundamental emotion, if cultivated at a young age, has many benefits for kids well-being and development. It helps in enhancing their mental health and fosters empathy towards others.
To nurture and practice this fundamental virtue that has multiple benefits, Lexicon Kids as part of their summer camp exercised this life skill by stepping out with teachers to thank people for their support in day-to-day life. The teachers accompanied the children who went out to thank doctors, and school vendors which helped in spreading smiles across the area. . A total of 40 children along with 8 teachers went on this journey of expressing gratitude to nearby service providers around Viman Nagar.
The children then gave out water bottles and juice packets to thank local volunteers including police officers and fruit and vegetable vendors for their assistance and for always being on duty. Sai Clinic, Maruti Vegetables, Pulse Chemist, Raunak stationary, Choice stationary, Deepak Market, and Panchdeep supermarket are to name a few vendors in the neighbourhood.
“So many people out there make our lives easier because of their tireless service and it is moments like these that light them up to continue doing it and a reminder for us to be grateful for them. It is our duty to make them feel important and fill them with
happiness”, says Ms. Aditi Thakker, Head Principal – Lexicon Kids & Principal, Lexicon Kids, Viman Nagar.
Making kids cultivate this trait is crucial since it is something that we must exercise in every scenario, whether good or bad. The school helps kids cultivate this life skill which will make them realize that the world is a better place through the services from these people.
