The most precious relationship for children is the parent-child relationship. That is why every child loves his parents so much. His parents nurture him in his childhood and give him the courage to face all the challenges in life boldly. It is love that instils the virtue of self-confidence and success in a child. It is the mutual love of children and parents that strengthens the child mentally and emotionally and motivates him to
achieve something in life. This love
helps the child to progress and grow up to be a
responsible and sensible person.
This sharpens his intellect. He understands the
feelings of others and expresses his feelings in an appropriate way. Itis love
that gives the children the strength to take care of their parents in their
sufferings and to serve them in their old age. This love is passed down from
generation to generation in the Indian society.

LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THE SCHOOL
1. To understand the contributions of schools and
other educational institutions.
2. Outline the role of school and teacher in the holistic
development of students.
3. To evaluate the school's performance in a
multi-faceted manner,School is a sacred place of learning that determines the
future of the students. School is a very important institution in a child's
life. After home, school is the place where most of the childhood is spent. The
school itself makes the child a responsible citizen of the society by
instilling in him qualities
like discipline, cooperation and living skills. The
school shapes the child's personality to make him or her a responsible person.
The school has a great contribution in helping the child to achieve great
heights in life. If the roots of a tree are strong,
it is not afraid of being uprooted. In the same way,school strengthens and
empowers students. Although many children do not love school or love it less,
yet they always remember their school with a sense of pride and discuss about
it whenever they
happen to meet their peers. Although the school is a
common institution for all, we all address or talk about our school using the
expression, ‘my school’. The word, ‘my’ reflects one's deep and strong love for
school.
This activity is a role-play. Teachers will prepare
their students for the relevant role-play participation and the students will
play their respective roles accordingly. The teachers can also take
part in this activity.
