Festive season is in full bloom now. Navratri celebrations are just concluded. The music and rhythm of Garbas and dandiyas are still ringing in the atmosphere. Dassera is being celebrated today and Eid is just
around the corner. Diwali and Christmas are not far behind.
Festivals break the
routine. Festivals bring joy. Festivals are universal stress-busters. And,
I think, learning process should be exactly that… a life-long stress-buster … a
festival forever!
Learning
would be a festival forever… if we remove the burden from it, if it seems all
play, if it is accepted as a gift, if
it brightens relationships, if it brings families together, if it adds something new every time
with the familiar, if it
inspires, if it involves, if it is an endless celebration!
And
when it happens that way, children learn. Children explore and learn from
experiences. Children observe and learn by imitating. Children learn by memorizing and recall. If this process is set right then overall development is
set into motion.
Children
will learn well if adults learn about how small children learn.
Wishing
you joyous celebrations!
