Annual Day Celebrations at Bachpan PreSchool
April 19, 2018
I proudly embrace any opportunity to speak about Child Rights or #TogetherWeCan. When I was approached to step in as the "Celebrity" Chief Guest for the Annual Day Celebrations at Bachpan PreSchool, I was genuinely delighted, to say the least! 😃
During the event, I witnessed a heartwarming relationship between teachers and parents, characterized by unconditional acceptance, trust in each child's abilities, and respect for their uniqueness. The stage was filled with an overload of cuteness as each child had the freedom to be flexible with their moves within the rehearsed framework. There were fun interactions with parents, and each parent expressed their gratitude for the school's experiences. What remains etched in my mind are the words of the MC of the day, Padmaja, who is also a teacher at the school. Her enthusiasm was contagious!
Padmaja gently reminded the parents of a message that should resonate loudly and clearly in the hearts and minds of all parents: "Please don't go home and ask your children why they didn't smile or why they didn't do that step better or why they couldn't speak louder. Remember, they have done their best here by just getting on stage and facing an audience; please appreciate the effort." She added, "Please avoid coming backstage to check on your child; they are doing fine, we will take care, trust us."
These two beautiful messages encapsulate our responsibilities:
- Know your Responsibility as Parents.
- We know our Responsibility as Teachers.
It's a partnership.
#BACHPAN - #CHILDHOOD: "Every Child has one thing in common - Their Rights," and it's our Duty as parents, teachers, and a community to take care.
#B: Boisterous and Beautiful, a period of life when you truly "lived" in high spirits without being bound by "what will they think?" A phase when you were truer than true, and there was nobody 'youer' than you! Let's safeguard every #Bachpan.
#A: An Awesome and Ambitious period of life when we dream and visualize of being anything in the world and outer world too. Doing all that our heart cares for. An age of complete trust that "Anything is possible." Let's not break the trust of any #Bachpan.
#C: An age that Captivates anyone's heart for the Cuteness and Cuddly nature so full of Curiosity to explore and understand the world around. Let's not captivate any #Bachpan.
#H: Happy-go-lucky little ones with such abundance of Hope for the future, being Heroes and Heroines of their own lives. Let's not create a plot twist for any #Bachpan.
#P: Positive and Passionate about everything, Playful and Persistent about anything. May we raise the Purples here and show them Paradise on Earth. Every #Bachpan is Precious.
#_A: Affectionate, Adventurous, and Awake and Active about All that is around. Let's not take Advantage of any #Bachpan.
#N: Naive and New each day, waiting to be Nurtured with unconditional love and understanding. Let's bring Nostalgia and not Nausea to anyone who thinks of their #Bachpan.
