It is your responsibility to make your children aware of your cultural heritage and festivals, so you must introduce them to the rituals and celebrations. Festivals bring people together and create a sense of belonging in the society. Especially children enjoy festivals more than adults, but nowadays the curiosity and energy of children are going only to technology.
In such a situation, parents must connect their children with festivals and tell them their importance so that their happiness and enthusiasm towards their traditions remain intact. Since children are inquisitive about everything, they will find it exciting to know about festivals and the traditions hidden in them. There are also some easy methods for this.
Participation in cleaning
Whenever there is a ritual, festival, or celebration, you get involved in cleaning and decorating the house. Involve children in this work too, so that the joy of festivals and rituals remains in their mind. Ask children to do small tasks. You can make them do chores like picking up the garbage and putting it in the dustbin, dusting the furniture. This will also inculcate the habit of working in them.
Help in cooking
When the festival comes, dishes are made in all the houses. You can also take the help of children in this work and by doing small tasks, you can make them feel responsible that they also have to work on festivals. This will inculcate in them the feeling of working together since childhood. If the children prepare dishes together, they will also feel happy and they will enjoy the festival doubly.
Creativity is essential
Teach children about your culture. Let them know about your traditions during the festival or ceremony by dressing them up in traditional clothes, helping in making decorations and dishes, and participating in other creative activities, so that they can get to know their culture and enjoy the festivities from a young age.
Stories and movies
There is some story behind every festival, which gives us a positive message. That's why from time to time you can give information about your festivals and traditions to the children through books or by showing movies. When you explain certain rituals to the child, they find them boring and boring. He doesn't pay attention to your words so you can make the information interesting to him by telling a story about festivals, reading or showing a film made on that topic, so that he gets excited and learns about his culture.
Sense of reconciliation
If you connect your children with festivals, then the feeling of reconciliation will increase in them. Today even children feel lonely. In such a situation, celebrating the festival together will remove their loneliness. Do take your child to relatives, acquaintances, and neighbors' homes on festivals, so that he learns to mingle with everyone and celebrate festivals together.
Always encouragement
Nowadays many festivals are celebrated in schools also. In such a situation, you should encourage the children to participate actively in them, so that enthusiasm can be created in them. You can also make the child prepare a poem or speech related to the festival. When the child will recite a poem or speech related to the festival on the stage, he will feel good and at the same time will get information about his festivals.
