8. To teach - Cycling self - before 4 he should learn cycling......
9. Vivasayam - Learn about farming - growing cattle , growing crops - seasons - crop pests - etc.,
10. Learn Yoga and Ayurvedic practices
Areas of learning
Music - Singing (Karnatic), Instrument (Drums), Kalai - Kuthu
Art - Painting, Photography
Action / Sports - Swimming / skating
Approach
- Teach sastha about the art forms in kuthu - Like kathakali - let him be familiar about visual forms that are available ......
- Teach him about all types of clay - blue pottery
Logic
- Teach him about the past - old skills that people have neglected and left
- Let him learn and master the old skills, new skills - he will any way learn from his piers and in school.
- He has to create a bridge and take these old skills to newer levels - look at the future
Time planning
- Saturday and Sunday - he has to spend time in villages near by learning - Kuthu, pottery, vivasayam
- Mon to Fri - before school - he has to learn Skating and Swimming
- Mon to Fri - After school - he has to learn Music and Drums
- Arts and Photography - as we (ana and Ramesh) - do he learns along with us.
Before Sastha is 6 yrs, he should atlas have a basic foundation of the above skill sets.
WHY
I want to teach sastha the skills and make him routed to the art forms that are vanishing and people are not interested
