THANK YOU CARD - Pista shells

Gratitude is one of the most amazing personality trait, I strongly believe which makes a long beautiful relationship among people. Receiving or returning kindness always gives a pleasant feel. Every moment or every person we meet in our life will give us a learning or will impact or influence us. 

I am grateful to......

•  all the key workers who helped us to stay safe and calm fighting all the odds during this pandemic to make our life more comfortable and stable. 
• Teachers and all the school staff, who were all working during these hard times handling Online Classes, sharing home learning packs, weekly phone conversations with their students to ensure the children are safe and comfortable, enquiring about the basic needs of the family and their support for meeting our needs. Children were prepared psychologically comfortable to face this situation and keeping them in track of their missed classes and lessons.
• The Almighty for giving us good health, strength and courage to handle such tough situations and protecting the world.

A token of Gratitude for NHS staff, we created this beautiful Rainbow - Symbol of God's Mercy. T

To spread a positive message, we created this pinwheel

My 9 year old surprised us with this cute, Thank you card for his teacher, Ms. Predeth for all the support and guidance. Proud moment as parents, looking at his kindness for his teacher.

SIMPLE POP UP CARD

Today, I am sharing a surprise card made by our lil one. Happy and feeling really great to see his creation on his own surprising us. At times, such memorable gifts from our children has to be treasured. 

It gives a feel of pride and honour as parents. Adding this to our parenting moments. 

Always appreciate and motivate children for any simple activity created on their own. It gives them more happiness and will develop their confidence to try many creations on their own. By this way, we are developing their creative thinking skills, boasting their confidence, training them to be independent to work their projects on their own. It's one of their milestone in their developmental skills, forming a part of their learning activity. 

Happy Parenting !!!
