For example, some of the powers of the mind, say, to discover the laws of nature, to produce beautiful works of art, and to express noble thoughts. Children can begin to develop all these powers when they receive a proper education. But, for this to happen, they must acquire certain attributes at an early age. They must learn to pay attention, to work hard when necessary, and to focus on what they are doing. They should grow into individuals who are concerned about the well-being of others and who want to serve the community. That is why it is important to attend to the development of their character at a young age.

There are certain attributes an individual should possess that are fundamental to human existence. They belong to the soul of the human being. We develop them as we polish the mirror of our heart so it can reflect the attributes of God. we refer to these as spiritual qualities, and the lessons we teach in our classes for Grade 1 focus mostly on these qualities.

children’s classes

Children 5 to 10 are invited to participate in a festival and regular classes organized by older youth in our community! Activities include singing, stories, art, and games focused on developing qualities like trustworthiness, cooperation, and forbearance- that are building blocks of a vibrant community!

The children in the class are thought of as mines full of priceless gems. Every one of them has the potential to show forth heavenly qualities. Every one of them has talents that can be discovered and developed. Every one of them can grow up to become a valuable member of society and contribute to the betterment of the world.

Here are a few spiritual qualities addressed in the Grade 1 lessons and their corresponding quotations. The children will memorize these quotations and parents can encourage their children to recite them:

Love:

“O Friend! In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love . . .”

Truthfulness:

“Truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtues.”
