I am a science teacher in a government school. When I used to go to school, my mother would teach me many things out of love. I never realised how valuable my #mother's teaching is. I am now the mother of two little kids. I follow the practices of my mother. Now I realise the worth of my mother's #teachings.
My mother will wake us early morning. We used to recite #gayatri Mantra five times before going to school. My lunch box contained pranthas(fresh) of different vegetables along with pickles. Due to this, I have learned the art of #making pickles. Every day we had to solve problems in maths, even though it was a holiday in school. Five news items we had to write in English as well as Hindi. This exercise indirectly added to our general knowledge. My mother advised us never to have a desire to eat food from any friend's lunch box. Same training I give to my children also.
At night, my mother will make us learn #spelling and #multiplication tables. Some days she will check our #mental maths. To make us do all these activities, she used to sacrifice many social activities. I distinctly remember nobody advising her to do so. But she herself will put #imposition on herself to help out her children. Same restrictions I also put on myself to help out my kids.
I try my best to be consciously clear about that I do my duty as a teacher as well good mother. All this teaching of duty-bound traits I learnt from my mother. Despite being good home homemaker, my mother was a good teacher also
I being science teacher, I now realise that my mother was a # scientist in her own right. Dedication and honesty to work in her home lab. Keeping all things clean and in order was her #passion. She had a very cute observation about her #cooking procedures. She had a strict eye on her #kids. Reading the news of newspaper daily and the Hindi-English magazine was part of her #disciplined routine. Her discipline was #driving force for kids. She was never hard on us, but her disciplined life was our #inspiration. She used to set boundaries for us. In the co-curricular activities of school and society, she will give us many positive #suggestions.
For early Science education, she used to make us #sprout seeds. She will make us participate in her #baking products. This way we learnt, measuring #liquids and #weighing solids from her.
Now I sometimes feel as if my mother had less time at her disposal for teaching her kids, but she (mother) wanted to teach much more and more. Till her last days, she used to help me solve day-to-day life #problems as she was full of knowledge, she gained through her life experience. I miss her every moment.
Moral - mother's blessings in the form of emotional, physical and #spiritual training in early childhood go a long way with the child.
