Mahabharata an Epic called by people as a part of Indian mythology. Yes and one day someone told me Mythology means myth and I was slightly disappointed at the awareness of the Gentleman. In fact the amount of wisdom and teachings are relevant to even present times .I would like to quote this story which shows the same studies true made by present day’s educationist and psychologists. Some stories of Mahabharata really show some amazing facts of the process of teaching and learning process.
I hope you do not doubt this fact, may be you are not able to recall but I can definitely talk about them. One of the famous story is about Abhimanyu, Amazing that he learnt the skill of entering the chakravyuh when he was in his mother’s womb. I am sure you must be guessed what I am hinting at and may be you are hitting at the target, of course I am talking about the fact that learning of a child starts from the time it starts forming.
I think a child’s formal education begins from even before it starts attending the nursery school.
Pre-primary school is very essential and the mother has to be educated to be able to guide the child suitably at the toddler's stage, No I do not mean that all mothers should be teachers but I think it would be a good idea to groom parents on how to train their child at these initial stages. The child learns from imitating is a well-known and proven fact. We know very well that the preaching is of no consequence when it comes to a child’s learning. Habits are caught not taught all are universal truths.
If the parents are not able to guide suitably, it is not at all a bad idea to take help of professionals, yes of course teachers and care takers at the kid’s school. If both the parents are working then, it is a better idea is to leave the child in kid’s school which takes even very young kids, instead of leaving them at the hands of maids or schools with under qualified caretakers. The Kid’s school may not be just a place where the child spends some hours just playing. The games should be so organized that there is learning in it too.
I know some of you might think of the cost factor, but all our lives we talk of love for our kids and we talk of their future, then I will like to say at this stage that money well spent is a good investment. According to me Parents will not have to sit with the kids at the time of their board examination giving them tension and creating exam pressure if the parent has invested money suitably in a kid’s school.
If the foundation of a building is strong the building will be strong. I am sure you are nodding your head. What are you looking at ,You have a small baby who stays in a crèche nearby which is of no consequence then search the net and the city you are in and invest in your child’s future.
