Teach them to greet everyone Happy Diwali and show the various ways in which people celebrate Diwali. Ask them to share candy, sweets and crackers with their friends and other children. This trait will help them to socialize in future.

While burning crackers keep an eye on them. Give them proper instructions to burn the crackers. Allow them to use their potential at the same time see that they do not get hurt.

Encourage them to enlighten themselves on the occasion of Diwali. Reinforce the idea of Diwali by teaching children how to take part in prayer services. Show them how to perform a puja. Tell them to meditate on the auspiciousness. All these act just like seeds which take the form of yeilding trees later in their lives.

So Happy Diwali to Childrens and Parents!!!
