The importance of Moral values in a student’s life

As the saying goes “All the things that make the character of an individual great, comes from the moral values he possesses. Those are the things that give an individual, strength, vision, integrity, courage and understanding of how to behave towards others”  therefore Honesty, Hard Work, Respect, Compassion, Forgiveness, Sacrifice and athithi –seva are the key values that form the base of Indian culture.
It would be appropriate to say that moral values are slowly disappearing from our lives. Those days are long gone when we were keen to help our neighbours or any person with difficulty or the needy of our society.Today if a person meets any serious accident, before he is taken to the hospital his luggage is robbed.
Moral values are the basic of a good human and give joy. Although this intensity of joy cannot be measured it sure can be felt with a sense of relief and contentment. These should beinstilled in a student’s life to ensure that he is ready to face the harsh realities of life.
Moral values are twice blessed as Shakespeare says he who gives and he who receives. They give immense pleasure to those who exercise them and those for whom exercised, helping a blind man to cross the road, giving food to a hungry, consoling a baby or sharing one’s grief, are invaluable services.
At G.D.  Goenka , Greater Noida Morals values are part and parcel of life. Students as young as Primary classes go and outreach Community in various ways, where they are distributing books or toys or everyday items. From class pre primary specific periods are allocated in their timetable for Value Skills. So much so even the text books have a separate question based on Value Added Skills, where the young mind has to show an understanding of a moral read in a story. Students of early classes are taught table manners and etiquette.Discipline and manners are a routine and students follow these without any doubt. It has become second Nature. Sometimes the morning assembly is taken up to instill one or the other good habit forming exercise. The school has a policy of zero tolerance to Bullies.
At G. D. Goenka we certainly believe that MANNERS MAKE A MAN, hence no opportunity is lost in showing your members the true and the only way to being a good Human being. The students put these values in practice for mutual understanding, by paying respect to the elders, showing politeness to the opposite gender, helping the needy, being gentle, avoid abuse language and honour the Goenkan policy that Morals, manners, value skills are all part of a good education which they get at GD Goenka Greater Noida.

HOW PARENTS CAN BE ‘EMOTION COACHES’ FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND PARENTING STYLES

With summer vacations over, we at G.D.Goenka Public School, Greater Noida  would like to turn our attention to the relationship between parent and child.  Dating back to the 1990s, science has discovered a tremendous amount about the role emotions play in our lives. Researchers have found that even more than IQ , your emotional awareness and ability to handle feelings will determine your success and happiness in all walks of life, including family relationships. For parents, this quality of “emotional intelligence” means being aware of your child’s feelings, and being able to empathize, soothe, and guide them. When it comes to raising children, parental behaviors makes a huge difference in a child’s life. After enormous researches ,it was found out that  most parents fall into one of two broad categories: those who give their children guidance about the world of emotion and those who don’t. We call parents who get involved with their children’s feelings “Emotion Coaches.” We
