"A mother is a child’s first teacher she can turn the hardest lessons into stories of love and understanding." — Inspired by Maria Montessori
Yes, a mother often a child's first teacher, guide, and source of comfort
can teach her children to face difficult situations with positivity and
courage. In times of national tension, such as when India has launched
Operation Sindoor to protect its citizens and curb terrorism, it is imperative
that the conversation reaches every household. A mother’s role becomes even
more crucial in explaining the various aspects of Operation Sindoor to her
children. Understanding why India has taken these steps and how the situation
has evolved, especially when a country must defend itself against attacks from
a neighboring nation that supports terrorism becomes essential.
Young minds, influenced by news and social media, can become confused,
anxious, or misinformed. It is a mother’s warmth and wisdom that can help them
understand such complex issues with age-appropriate clarity and reassurance.
We have broadly listed pointers based on age groups and their levels of
understanding to help parents plan their conversations.
