Dear Parents,
I want you to understand the child development which takes place
between the age group of 1st to 6th year of the age. Every human
being is undergoing a great transition in this period and is exposed
to the maximum capacity of SELF GROWTH of his/her own self on all
levels, Mental, Spiritual, Social, Emotional, and Cultural.
Here in this period the capacity to develop on all these levels, in
the future imbibed on his/her mind body & spirit by the surroundings
environment. It is too often required of children that they should
adjust themselves to the world. But it would be more purposeful if
the world adjusts itself to the ways of the children in all its dealing
with them.
Helping a child does not only mean pampering them with all they want to
satisfy their basic needs.
A small child of 3-6 years stepping out from his house where he is
under loving care of the wing, now after coming to the Kindergarten
trying to get the introduction of the big society of human beings,
needs careful & watchful attention of its Mother/Father and
Kindergarten. Thus needing the right guidance to learn, to write, to
speak, to watch, to observe, to think, to memorie, to express and
so on……
You know this period of 1 to 6 years of age is highly sensitive,
collecting the full strength and capacity to bloom one day & swing
along with the breezes with its own beautiful shape, attractive
colour and splendid fragrance. This period is period of being a bud
to bloom into a flower. This is like a small plant having tiny roots
& delicate stem, tender leaves containing the capacity to grow into
a big tree. When the small plant grows in the jungle independently
with natural environment it grows with its full force. But when it
is planted in the garden the gardener has to provide it with all the
necessary things & take care with a watchful eye till it grows fully
into a big tree.
Here for the child of three years of age, you & we are having a joint
responsibility to play the role of a Gardener.
