Patriotism is not taught but imbibed in a child’s mind by the patriotic seeds sown by parents in their early childhood.

India is my country and all Indians are my brothers and sisters. The pledge is the first thing we teach our kids when they come of age. Sadly, it's one among the many things they rote learn without understanding its true essence of it. Patriotism is one thing that cannot be taught or learned. It is something that comes naturally and stays with us till the end of time. Yet, as parents, we are always worried to imbibe these values into our little ones. It’s hard for us as we always feel we are failing at parenting. But no matter what you do, you will be an ideal parent to your kid.

 On the other hand, there are several simple ways that we can try to raise a patriotic and caring child. As childhood is the time where we are most close to our children, it also becomes a time for us to teach them some important lessons. So if you have an undying love for your country and wish to imbibe the same in your teeny tiny humans, then without any further ado, read on and get started with the patriotic journey.

Teach them the deepness of colours.

 Our Indian tricolor is made of nature’s unique color palette. It has bright and dark tones and together perfectly represents the values of India. However, a kid might see the flag as a painted cloth. Therefore, they need to understand what each color represents. Given below is a detail description of the color and its importance   Saffron - Courage and Strength of India. White - Peace, Truth, and Harmony of India. Green - Growth, and Fertility of the land of India.

Respect for the National Anthem.

 There are tons of children who mug up the national anthem but fail to understand the true meaning of it. The 52-second anthem played before almost every movie or on any important and auspicious day, beautifully captures the varied diversity in India. Rabindranath Tagore, the writer of the anthem speaks about the rich culture and secularity in the span of 52 seconds. When children understand the meaning, they shall automatically love India for its cultural heritage.  

Stories of Valor and Sacrifices. 

Teachings of the Nationality.

 Each country has its own national set of flowers, animals, fruits, and several others. Our children must be aware of them. These common facts need to be imbibed right at home. Schools do teach a thing or two but nothing competes with the lessons of homeschooling. When parents teach their children in a fun and loving way they remember the teachings for the rest of their lives.  

Show them the love for Nature.

 Naturally green parents raise loving and patriotic children. The love for nature overpowers the love for the country. The country is not just saved by doing deeds of valour but also by caring for nature. Switching to nature-friendly care for our babies helps them understand the value of nature and automatically imbibes the love for nature and country in them. Therefore, make no mistake in choosing the right baby and kid care.
