🌙 As the Hari Raya Aidilfitri holiday comes to an end, our children are set to resume their academic journey. While the festive break may seem like a mere pause from school. It can be a valuable learning experience for our little ones.
As parents, it’s essential to engage with our children and learn their thoughts on the holiday period. By doing so, we help them reflect on the lessons they’ve gleaned from the festivities. Besides, strengthen their understanding of our cultural heritage.
Consider asking your children about:
- Their favorite aspects of the celebrations and the reasons behind it.
- Instances when they practiced kindness and empathy during the holiday.
- Insights they’ve gained about your family’s traditions and culture.
Even for friends who just enjoyed the holidays, these are some of the topics that you may discuss with your children:
- What did they like most during the holiday?
- If they have gone for a movie at the cinema, or read a book, what were the values or learning did they get out of the movie or the book?
- What did they learn about our nation’s multi-cultural society? The way everyone is respecting, celebrating and enjoying each others’ traditions?
These conversations not only strengthen parent-child bonds, but also help our children develop a deeper appreciation for their roots that will go a long way. Let’s continue to support their growth and development by staying connected to their experiences.
