Respect your parents at all costs
Ganesh ji considered his parents as his whole world. There is a mythological story related to this. It is said that once Ganesh ji and Kartikeya ji had a debate about who is the elder among them? When the matter progressed, both were told that the one who comes back first after going around the whole world will be the elder. On hearing this, Kartikeya ji set out to go around the world; while Ganesh ji sat down after circling his parents. He said that both of you are my whole world. Since then Ganesh ji got the status of the first deity. Tell children through this story that no one is bigger than parents in life. They are the ones who want their well-being in every situation.
Do not discriminate against those weaker than you
Ganesh Ji considered everyone equal. He never discriminated on the basis of high and low. He never considered the poor and the weak as weak and looked down upon them. He considered everyone equal. Parents should teach their children that just like Ganesh Ji, children should also not discriminate against anyone. Everyone should be treated equally. One should not insult anyone by considering him weak.
don’t give up in life
Children should also be taught to never give up from the life of Ganesh Ji. Ganesh Ji never gave up in his life. There is also a mythological story related to this. It is said that once Ganesh Ji sat down to write something. While writing, his pen broke. But Ganesh Ji did not give up, he broke one of his teeth and started writing with it. The lesson of not giving up learned from the life of Ganesh Ji will be very useful for children at every turn of life. With this lesson, children will never be disappointed in life and even after facing obstacles, instead of giving up, they will face the situation bravely.
Pause is also necessary in life
Ganesh Ji had a lot of stability in him. Tell the children that it is very important to have stability in life. Haste never gets any work done, rather it spoils it. The power to think and understand also gets lost in this. Whereas when there is stability in the mind, the ability to think and understand is not affected in any situation, which makes it easy to get out of difficult times. Therefore, children should be taught to bring stability in their mind from the life of Ganesh Ji.
