Sunbeam Lahartara: Reading Our Minds Aloud

 

Educating with Empathy.pptx by Manisha Khanna

At our Sunday School, we immerse ourselves in a vibrant environment where every story and activity teaches us valuable lessons and resonates with our hearts. If we could share our thoughts, you would see how deeply we cherish each moment spent together.

During the Youth Engaging Society Workshop with Shikha Ma’am, we discovered the importance of empathy. We learned to listen to others patiently and to understand feelings beyond our own. We practised kindness, not only through our words but also through simple acts that can brighten someone's day. We also realized the value of determination—when challenges arise, courage and persistence guide us toward success.

Our Sunday School experience was more than a class; it was a gentle reminder that values shape who we are. We carry these lessons forward, proud to be Sunbeamians who believe in touching lives with empathy, spreading kindness, and facing every challenge with determination.

Learning Empathy and Kindness - Sunbeam School Ballia

My Good School 31st August 2025

Our first session with Shikha ma'am was particularly enlightening, as we explored the differences between empathy, sympathy, and kindness. We learned how these acts can profoundly impact not only our own happiness, but also that of our friends and surroundings. We also gained valuable insights into practising empathy in various situations.

The second session with Jugjiv sir was a delightful book-reading experience. The Door-to-Door Bookstore by Carsten Henn highlighted the immense value of friendship through the story of Carl, a bookseller.

Today's session was incredibly encouraging and helpful in my journey to develop essential skills, be empathetic, and practice kindness.

Today, we had Ms. Shikha ma'am with us, and we learnt about kindness, friendship, and empathy. I understood how we can help our friends in every situation—whether they are facing a problem or not, and whether they are in a good mood or not. I felt thrilled because Ma'am helped me answer my question and also gave me a chance to speak. Today's session was very interactive and genuinely one of the best sessions I've ever had.

In today's session, I learnt that kindness is when we do something good for others, but empathy is when we actually feel what they feel. Kindness is like giving a hand, and empathy is like walking beside someone so they don't feel alone. When both come together, even small actions can make a big difference. A simple act, such as listening to a friend or standing with someone who feels hurt, can give them the courage they need.

Today, I understood that kindness is the action, but empathy is the heart inside it. If we practice both, we not only make one person's day better, but also make this world a softer and kinder place to live in.

It was one of the most fruitful sessions I have ever attended. It was taken by Ms. Shikha Agnihotri and focused on how children's emotions affect their lives. She has conducted multiple analyses of child psychology, and her explanation of kindness and empathy made it clear how we should practice these values in our daily lives.

We asked many questions, and Shikha ma'am answered them patiently, ensuring that she conveyed the essence of kindness and empathy to us. In the middle of the session, we even discussed coping with bullying, which made the discussion even more impactful.

दयालुता और सहानुभूति: जीवन की असली शक्ति - सनबीम ग्रामीण स्कूल

दयालुता का अर्थ है दूसरों के प्रति मित्रवत, उदार और विचारशील होने का गुण या भाव, जबकि सहानुभूति का अर्थ है दूसरों की भावनाओं को समझना और उन्हें साझा करने की क्षमता। सीधे शब्दों में कहे तो दयालुता एक बाहरी व्यवहार है जबकि सहानुभूति एक आंतरिक भावना और समझ है जो दयालुता को जन्म देती है। 

दयालुता:- यह एक ऐसा गुण है जो दूसरों के साथ व्यवहार करते समय गर्म जोशी, उदारता और विचारशीलता दर्शाता है।  आप दूसरों की भावनाओं या परिस्थितियों की समझ के बिना भी दयालु हो सकते हैं।

 "दया और सहानुभूति ही असली महाशक्ति है" एक विचार है जो मानता है कि दूसरों के प्रति दयालु होना और उनके अनुभवों से जुड़ना एक शक्तिशाली गुण है। यह गुण लोगों को गहराई से समझना, मजबूत रिश्ते बनाने और विश्वास व सहयोग को बढ़ावा देने में मदद करता है। सहानुभूति से प्रेरित व्यवहार एक सकारात्मक वातावरण बनता है जिससे व्यक्ति और समाज दोनों के लिए अधिक समय तक सफलता मिलती है। दयालुता और सहानुभूति वास्तव में शक्तिशाली भावनाएं हैं जो मनुष्य के भीतर से उत्पन्न होती हैं जो व्यक्तियों को सशक्त बनाती हैं ,और अधिक करुणामय और जुड़ा हुआ समाज बनती हैं।
