I teach in Chedar and the head wants me to teach the kids all about jealousy? The kids are aged between 4 and 7. Any ideas, Thanks.

u can make a few skits to show jealousy. for example, have a few kids come up, and give only one child a beautiful necklace and tell everyone its her "bday" then u can ask everyone... How would that make u feel.... and then discuss it... how its sooo normal to want something we like that someone else has, but we can tell ourselves that that is the yeitzer harah who wants us to be jealous and when this happens we can try and think of all the good things that we have, and try to be happy for the other person... u can give many examples and act them out. I think that would be interesting for kids....

goodluck

I wonder, in people's experience, are children ages 4-7 naturally jealous?

Yes!
And I have another issue that has arose. My dd has a problem identifying a make believe... a fantasy, and what really happend Confused

e.g. she will tell me she went yesterday on a ride in galaxy land and when I say hmm I don't remember taking you.

she gets quite upset b/c yes she says she did and she took her dolly too. Scratching Head

I have not experianced this with my boys heeelp

On the other hand she is starting to read, and ride her bike w/hout training wheels so in some ways she is advanced.... but at times like this I can't figure her out and yes I'm a morah too embarrassed

No offense to you jewishmama but the subject you were assigned rubs me wrong. How about teaching the children about sharing, kindness etc. thus subtly dealing with issues of jealousy. Why teach them about jealousy?

Should we also teach children about hate? revenge? Confused

Sorry, I was just revisiting what I wrote and realised that I probably worded it wrong. I taught the kids yesterday about Korach and how he was jeolous of Mosha and Aaron and how we can take lessons from this. I did role play with them discussed it, ect.. and they all got a lot out of it and of course enjoyed themselves. Thanks for the suggestions.
