Much of what
children learn will be as the result of teachers - Parents, Educators, peers
and society in general. Children are fragile; those things essential for proper
growth and maturity are nurturing of children; tender loving care and time.
Nature
teaches us much about the cycle of growth and maturity through plant life; we
realize that time is an important aspect not only in the cycle, growth and
maturity of plants, but all things.
When society
took time to nurture and allow time for the natural growth and
production of plants, vegetables, animals, etc., not only were they healthy,
but people were healthier as a whole.
The
discovery and the use of chemicals which rapidly increased growth and genetically
modified the aforementioned have been applied to practically everything that
can be grown. We see some of those adverse changes as a result throughout
society.
Some
foolishly think children can be pressured, rushed and forced to function beyond
their years without adverse consequences. Just as we see the results and
effects of foods and plants not given time for natural growth, we will continue
to see the results of society’s actions upon its children should we not take time
to handle and nurture children with tender loving care and allow for their natural growth and maturity.
It is past time we return to some
basic principles; we
must ask ourselves, do the littlest and most vulnerable and fragile within our
society have a proper place to live; nutritious food to each; adequate
clothing, a safe and secure environment, quality and/or quantity time for
nurturing, providing tender loving care and natural growth and maturing at
his/her own pace? Such can greatly impact the little sprout of learners who
have begun their journey toward mature adulthood.
