What really goes on a child’s mind when he is on his own playing, doing his homework or just sitting around seemingly doing nothing? No one really knows. It is usually from their own creations like painting, art, speech, handwritten notes and many practical body movement like walking, jogging, running, sitting, standing or waving of the hands, do we begin to observe growth and development within him. The child learns from his environment, and he absorbs the knowledge, digests and processes it to help himself grow.
What kids say will tell us that growing is a their job not ours:
A: “Wow! who taught you to do that?”
K: Nobody, I just learn it myself.
I really don’t need your help, I can do many things by myself already.
A: “What have you learn in school today?”
K: I don’t know.
He meant I am still processing the knowledge. Give me a break mum, I just finished an exhausting day at school. Don’t make me think and work again.H
A: “What would you like to eat?”
K. McDonald’s happy meal.
It’s not the food, it’s the toy I want.
A: “What is your favourite tv programme.”
K: Disney channel Hannah Montana
I am a kid anymore, I am a teenager in the making.I
A: “Do you know how to tie your shoelaces.”
K: Yes but mum bought me a pair of shoes without shoelaces.
It’s hassle free and mum does not want to wait all day for me to finish off the last knot.
A: “How often do you have to brush your teeth in a day?”
K: Twice a day.
I know that because I have been told many times since I ate my first chocolate cake.
A: “Are potato chips good for you?”
K: I like them very much.
I am not going to say no because I do want to think that I can never have anymore chips and everything else that goes with it, especially movies.
If a child does not grow, he has lost his job. Nobody does it best than the child himself.
