Ma’am was Krishna a thief?
The one who steals?
That is a bad habit! If we steal will we be like Lord Krishna?
Ever wonder why Krishna was known as the ‘Makhan Chor’? Children never abandon any opportunity in which they get the chance to identify the good in them and the bad in others.
It’s common for kids to have tricky questions but when these queries stay unanswered children get agitated and lose interest in learning.
With the help of CG Slate Learning Tablet (my ultimate resource for answering their queries), I explained to them the symbolism of Krishna being called as the butter thief.
Krishna was born with a divine aura and never cried when he was a child.
Since his childhood Krishna was frolicsome. He loved butter, and could up to any extent to get some.
Krishna had no intention to hurt or annoy others but loved fooling around his loved ones.
...
So, Krishna wasn’t a thief but a butter lover.
Children now knew that everyone has a distinct personality and should never try to copy others. They also knew that their dear Krishna had no evil intent but just a joyous one. He loved bothering people with his playful antics.
Teaching Tip: It’s important to answer every query your child has. By overlooking their tricky questions you are intentionally harming their enthusiasm to learn.
