6 Interest

Interests of each child are his or her focal points -direction of their energy. Channeling this energy leads to accelerated learning.

Dear mummy & papa,
You want me to excel in studies. Even I would like it, but maybe . in a different way. I want to learn, know, do, make and understand lots of things.

Just not always the way learning is dished out to me. Don’t I eat most voraciously the food which I like most?

Since every child’s taste buds (read learning preferences) are different, I wish you could always cook as per my preferences. I am weak in Maths but I like cricket - Can I count, add, multiply, or do fraction with my favorite cricket team -

My interests are taken care - Now I am even ready to explore why pitches need a particular type of sand? How sedimentary rocks are made? And so on.

Just as hunger is natural to my tummy, so is learning natural to my brain. I want to learn all the time. Only I want to be stimulated instead of instructed.
I want to be encouraged instead of compared. I want to be challenged instead of forced.

compared to what lies within us."
