We will all have ever sung this wonderful Baloo song in "The Jungle Book". Your lesson can be applied to life and he has his good things as long as we don't fall into total apathy. The message that it conveys to our children deserves, I think, an explanation so that they can assimilate it.
We live in an excessively competitive and materialistic world. Our little ones are bombarded by advertising and ideas that could make people value people only for what they have or their appearance. However, recovering, like Baloo, trust in Nature and pleasure in simple things has to be part of the lessons we instill.
That is why this song contains a very powerful message, we are what we are, we have what we have, life is beautiful and we can get from it the enjoyment and confidence necessary to live with optimism.
However, not everything is fun and hope that things come to us, work and effort also deserve respect and we must strive to achieve dreams, progressing without supposing to crush anyone or need great wealth to achieve happiness.
Therefore, Baloo's life lessonIt is a beautiful, vital and good teaching, but that we should explain to our children. And is that watching television with them is a very interesting educational resource, but also, it is necessary because there are many contents, and I speak of something as simple as this song, which needs to be explained by us to make the children can assimilate it with confidence and without ambiguity.
