WHAT A CHILD NEEDS

WHAT A CHILD NEEDS

A child is a being who is a naturally active and enthusiastic being, who is always alert, and willing to learn.

He needs to be guided with a deep vision of man's development and his desires are no different from that of an adult's.

He needs to give his natural ambition a release in activity and using the mind and its enormous power.

He senses all that within him, a kind of hunger drives him, that we mistakenly call naughtiness.

He needs too live in the full sense....

And what do we do with him...

WE MAKE HIM SIT AND PREACH ON HOW HE SHOULD BE, WHEN HIS SOUL KNOWS HOW HE SHOULD BE AND WHAT HE WANTS.

He needs someone to give voice to his needs, and an understanding and an action plan and agends. Trst me, he would obey with a fervor you don't know he has.

He needs to make sense, deep sense, and that is why he many a times does NOT obey. he cannot, he is too innocent to grasp that in this half hearted world, one needs to compromise.

Gradually he does, he is left with no choice and he finally becomes inert, and inactive,fearful and shy, loses confidence.

Is this correct? By what right do we do that?

A child is the pure, the innocent and the active being.

We need a profoundly rational philosophy, rooted in respect for the man in teh child, love for man and a deep grasp of the knowledge of the world, is we have to save the child.

Only by saving the child, do we save the world.
