Control temptations

Today we had Manthan on “temptation, following others while they do wrong things"

We started with the game “what are you doing” - you answer what you are not doing :-)
One Pitsy Puppet came in the session to tell tell about how he reached in time to see a movie and jumped many signals. He took care that the police man was not watching him.
Children gave their suggestion

1. You need to follow rules
2. Red is for stop
3. You may get dashed
4. You need to start in time
5. You need to see that you are getting caught in camera at the signal
6. Do not talk in the theatre, other swill get disturbed

Pitsy said “all were doing so I also did, Many people were jumping signal, I was not the only one”. Some more gyan for Pitsy

1. Follow rules for  yourself
2. Respect others
3. donot follow wrong things, do what is right

Then, we took one sheet and wrote  - What I do when “I see, hear, touch, taste, smell” inappropriate things/ actions. This generated a lot of discussion

1. I do not see
2. Sometimes I follow wrong things
3. I join others who are bullying others
4. When I get bully, I feel bad

At the end they all wrote “what  gain, What I loose” by following others

 After effect :
Just after the Manthan we had cubs in Dana Pani for lunch, Lions and Gurs were still in th session. . One didi lifted tank lid to see the water level. This created curiosity among few - they lifted the lid, some threw paper in that, some looked how deep it is, some joined for fun, some lifted little some reminded do not do..............

We called for a discussion - All honest expression. One was constantly saying "I did not do", while others were saying you lifted. Th child said "you talk about you" - but other did not stop, at the end he committed "I lifted only little". Aunty was eating lunch and listening.

We together sent mails to our parents

Dear Parents,

Today in school we opened water tank cover and threw paper napkins inside. SOme of us lift the cover but did not threw paper. Some chidlren were doing - I also did it. This is very dangerous. We can fall. Many times when I am with my friends I do wrong things, I follow them,

I am learning to be safe. In class my aunty takes care that we are safe. When I go for lunch/ snacks/ free time - I sometimes follow wrong things. I need to be with one adult till I learn to be safe.

Tomorrow for Khel Mela - We need to be WITH my parents only ALL THE TIME (9 to 1pm).

1. Till my mind settles down then I we do not need aunty/parents fully. I think it will settle down on Saturday/ Sunday. I will do a lot of work.
2. I say let me also do it, I am learning by taking care that I focus on my work and eat my food. Will take silence badge till my mind settles down.
3. Take care my danger. I can improve. At house I will take silence badge - I can take help.
4. I was about to fall, I was opening water cover,
5. I work on my behaviour on every sat/sun. My parents are helping me. I am learning.

Thank you mummy papa for reading this mail and helping us to reflect at home. We will do reflection at home on safety.
