A Child’s Mind

A child’s mind is a fertile ground and a very active place. It is alive and on fire with thoughts, imaginations, arguments, fantasies, fears.....

The challenge is in helping children find positive outlets to this myriad mixture without extinguishing the fire. As adults we can be the catalyst to inspire them in their hands-on quest to learn, explore, experiment and create.

What children enjoy most is the act of doing things. They blossom to their full potential when they are surrounded by a sense of joy, wonder, spontaneity and freedom. When they are given trust and encouragement!

Let us be mindful in providing children with an environment where their thoughts are respected and their voices heard loud and clear.
