LESSON: 2🔗

Introduction: Recall yesterday's topic and talk about the driving forces of fear and greed.

Goals: To make the children understand the driving forces of fear and greed and about the measure of intelligence.

Click: Herd mentality

About the topic: When you want something to happen more it is greed, when you are afraid that something will happen, it is fear. Usually we are either driven by greed or fear. The motivation for the child is greed or fear, never inner fulfillment. Understand, if you are living your life based on just seeing what others are doing, you are just wasting your precious life. This is what is called "herd mentality" – joining the rat race because everybody is a part of it. Everyone expresses their individuality and not the connection as a whole; so they always feel the need to be better than someone. A certain kind of intelligence is needed to be a scientist and another kind of intelligence is needed to be a musician. Intelligence is the ability to respond to a situation or challenge. As the situation differs, the dimension (types) of intelligence that responds to the situation also differs. Everyone is born intelligent; it is just a question of discovering each one's unique dimension of intelligence.

YOU ARE INTELLIGENCE

Just change the inner software. The way in which you think the way in which you internalize the way in which you look at the world.

We start cutting the branches, we start cutting the branches. Cutting the branches is not going to work. Changing your habits is like cutting the branches. That is not going to work directly. That will take for years, that will take years, sometime when you cut the branches is grows more. That's another one big problem, so changing the habits is not going to do if you have to remove the tree touch the roots and shake it. If you want transformation let the inner software be touched, let the inner software be touched.

Activity- Passing the parcel forward and reverse

Goals: To make the children understand that they are spontaneous, they are the intelligence.

Preparation: Make a parcel or bag ready and ask the children to sit in a circle.

Presentation: Ask the children to sit in a circle and explain to the children that one child will be given a parcel; the parcel has to be passed from one to another, when we say forward they have to pass the parcel in the forward direction and when we say reverse they have to pass the parcel in the opposite direction. Now keep on alternating the instructions as forward, and reverse and ask them to pass the parcel as fast as they can.

Interpretation: This activity shows very clearly that when we are focused, we are very spontaneous and that everybody has the intelligence to excel. Intelligence is not something to attain. Every single being is endowed with intelligence. Each one of us has intelligence.

Evaluation: Evaluate their cognitive skills by asking them questions related to the topic

Conclusion: Allow your complete being to simply express itself, be free of greed and fear.

WORK SHOP – 1

Topic of discussion: We cannot judge others

Explanation: Ask the children to analyze what they think about their friends and relatives. For example if one child says his friend is very nice to him then ask him if he did not share anything with him or if he breaks his favorite toy how he will feel. If he says that one of his relatives is an arrogant person, ask how he will feel when that person behaves very nicely towards him. Ask them whether they will now change their opinion.

Inference: We cannot judge others because we keep on changing our opinion towards them by seeing their actions.
