The lesson “Cheerfully Obeys When He-She Doesn’t Want to” teaches children about applying self and social awareness based on developing Godly character. Children describe a situation when unhappiness may occur. By working in groups and reading Bible stories, the children learn and explain how choosing to be happy in an unhappy situation or by thinking a happy thought leads to feeling better in unhappy situations. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 3-5 years, and is the 34th lesson in the 1st Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Emotional Development” unit.
