Character Building Sessions For Children @ Princeton

“The Learning Experience” is a day-care center in Princeton for kids from six weeks to five years. Every summer break the center encourages and invites guests to present and introduce kids to different activities ranging from philanthropy, sports, arts, etc. The center took this opportunity to introduce kids who belong to the age group of 3 years to 5 years to Jeevanvidya and its principles. Jeevanvidya student Renu Khot conducted over three sessions at the center and presented stories on gratitude followed by an interactive Q&A session.
The kids were encouraged to speak up on their thoughts about gratitude and express their gratitude towards their parents, teachers, and friends.
The session was made interactive by having the kids make posters and cards expressing their gratitude.

We look forward to hearing from you. Enroll your kids in these Character-Building Classes and experience the positive changes in them.

Well-wishing: This has been such a pleasant exchange between my students and myself at the end of our time together. It just ends our time with a smile a caring and loving feeling. The students have enjoyed this part more than expected.

Gratitude: We have posted are statements of gratitude on leaves and attached it to a tree on our wall. We call it “Growing our Gratitude" and enjoyed watching our tree bloom. Students have shared that they have made their parents happy by going home and sharing with them what they are thankful for their parents for. One student shared with me that she wrote gratitude statements for in her journal at home to help when she was feeling anxious. She said it helped her
