Why Children Should Know About Mythology
Parent Circle
|October 2016
How many times, we as children, have asked our mother – "Amma, please tell me about Diwali…", and why not? For Diwali is the perfect time to teach our children about our rich mythology. And who better to talk about it than Bhakti Mathur, the author of the popular children’s book ‘AMMA TELL ME ABOUT DIWALI’. Read on as she gives some interesting tips and tricks.

When you recollect being curled up on your grandma’s lap as she dramatically narrated tales, does it fill you with nostalgia? Well, your children can have the same experience and get to know about Indian culture, tradition and mythology. And what can be the perfect time for it than this Diwali? So, here are the how-tos and what-nots of introducing your children to mythology from Bhakti Mathur - a top banker from Hong Kong by day, author at leisure and a mother of two! In a conversation with ParentCircle, she discusses a host of issues including the relevance of teaching mythology to children. Explaining what inspired her to take up this genre, Bhakti says, “The real motivation behind the Amma Tell Me series was to share with my sons the fascinating stories from Indian mythology that I had grown up with. But I found that there were no resources that were simple to understand or which captured the rich imagery of mythological India. So I went ahead and started writing the stories in a style which children would enjoy.”
Q How important is it for children to learn mythology?
