Who
Taught Whom?
How many times have you come across your child crying
over a lost toy or a broken toy?
How many times have you removed certain play items or
craft material which you fill is untidy or which spoils the décor of your home?
I am sure some of us would have experienced either
one of the above situation. Sometimes we would have witnessed our child crying
over a broken toy which will be hardly few rupees or we would have seen our
child becoming aggressive when we remove some of their material feeling it is waste.
During such situation we persuade the child by telling
why are you creating fuss for a 10-rupees toy or why are you fighting for piece
of colour sheet, which we can buy it.
Our authority as a parent might put an end to such
drama. Some us might feel we taught the child not create a scene, but when we
carefully examine the situation we failed the learn certain wonderful qualities
from the child:
·
Value of what we possess need not to be
valued based on the price
·
Big or small, important or unimportant,
it is subjective
·
Child has proved its ability to take
care of its belonging irrespective of its price
·
Child has proved the importance of
moments in life by showing the attachment with the toy
·
Child has fought for it’s rights
·
Child has proved the value of time by
telling “you have wasted my craft work”
·
Child has expressed we are insensitive to
their needs by being aggressive or by crying
·
Child has taught us to value things for the
experience we get from it and not based on whether it is expensive or not
Now
we need to reflect who taught whom
