ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ
ਬਾਲ ਦਿਵਸ ਦੀਆਂ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ, ਮੇਰੇ ਬੱਚਿਓ। ਹੱਸਦੇ ਖੇਡਦੇ ਰਹੋ, ਪੜ੍ਹਦੇ ਵਧਦੇ ਰਹੋ।
ਪੁੱਤ, ਤੇਰੇ ਸਵਾਲ ਕਦੇ ਨਾ ਮੁੱਕਣ ਤੇ ਤੇਰਾ ਹਾਸਾ ਕਦੇ ਨਾ ਘਟੇ।
ਅੱਜ ਰੱਜ ਕੇ ਖੇਡੋ, ਕੰਮ ਕੱਲ੍ਹ ਕਰ ਲਵਾਂਗੇ। ਬਾਲ ਦਿਵਸ ਮੁਬਾਰਕ।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
Wishes children actually like
Children can tell at once whether an adult means it. They do not want to be told they are the future of the nation. They want to hear that you noticed something: the drawing, the question in class, the way they shared their tiffin, the hundredth "why". Tell them that, and add a treat.
Make it yours
- Parents: one thing your child did this year that made you proud, and it should not be marks.
- Grandparents: a blessing and a story.
- Teachers: a line for the whole class, and if you can manage it, one word for each child.
- Uncles, aunts and elder cousins: a promise of time, such as a match, a film or a cycle ride, kept within the week.
For the class board
A wish for a whole class should be short enough to read from the back bench and warm enough to be copied into diaries: "Class 4-B: keep asking questions. I will keep finding answers. Happy Children's Day." Many schools turn the day around, with teachers performing for the children. A funny wish from a strict teacher is the best gift of all.
The day itself
India keeps Children's Day on 14 November. World Children's Day is observed on 20 November. The day is also a reminder that every child has a right to school, play and safety, and a good moment to give books, toys or time to children who have less.
What to avoid
- Comparing the child with a sibling or a classmate, even in praise.
- Advice dressed up as a wish.
Make it yours
- Children like to be told exactly what you admire: their questions, their drawings, their kindness.
- For a class, keep it short enough to write on the board.
