komala aunty - 8 to 13 yrs - Oct 6 - What do I want to do ?

Session started off with discussion on what I want to do rather what is the activity for the day aunty? Discussed as to what would I like to do when I come to success saturday classes every saturday . what can i do  which i like to do and explore more about the same and how would i do.  This created a commotion in the class as some children liked the idea and some children were confused. some even asked as to what do I do now aunty immediately ?   They really were lost . Thats when I understood that some children need some kind of structure for their choice also.  They needed somebody to tell them  the process as to how and what do they need to do exactly.  One child was almost in tears when i told him that you can do what ever you want , read, think, research on something , explore something .  As a facilitator I learnt that you need to give structure for everything for some children . Some children need their space when working and some children need somebody to work with.  They rely on somebody else's thoughts for their operation and how some children steal the entire show.  As a facilitator, it gave me a whole new perspective on the needs of the children and their way of operation .
