Times are changing. Technological shifts have brought a change in the mindset of children. The way they perceive things and engage with the surroundings they live in has undergone a complete revival. Children in today's generation are exceptionally smart and clever. They learn quickly and apply their minds with enthusiasm and creativity.

They are exposed to technological devices early on, through which they get introduced to new things and concepts. But in this rapid advancement age, their ability to understand others and connect with them is slowly fading. The school curriculum is mostly academically driven, but what about the essential core values that teach humility to children? The values which, unfortunately, our education system doesn't prescribe in the curriculum, are vital to making them thoughtra individuals in the run. They are the building blocks for a child's emotional growth. Are we doing enough to help them learn these values? How can we instil these values in them?

Gratitude

They say we create an energy of lack when we constantly highlight our struggles and discontent. To invite abundance and growth, we should thank and feel content towards the things we have. A feeling of gratitude, or being grateful for the things that we have, the environment we are in, and the people we are surrounded with, is what we should help our children nurture to usher in happiness and luck in their life. Through expressing gratitude, they will learn to appreciate the things that surround them and be more mindful of the positives.
