It's Children's Day, November 14: A Short Note and a Poem

Short Note

A child is a young human being under the age of 18 marked by a period of learning, growth, development, guidance and support. This period of 3-18 year full wonder, curiosity, imagination, learning and a developing understanding of the world.

It's a period of significant organized learning, playing, education for growing physically, mentally, creatively and emotionally.

However, children often rely on adults, and happily learn in the formal sectors on teachers and care givers, for guidance, support, and protection

Children' Day is reminder for teachers and care givers to understand children and let then be and not make them little adults

Childhood: A Poem

A seed of wonder, less than eighteen years,

A tiny human, reaching for the sun,

A mind ablaze with curious joys and fears,

A world explored, before the day is done.

With open eyes, they greet each brand new sight,

Imagination paints their vibrant dreams,

Through play they learn, and grow in gentle light,

By adult love, their fragile spirit gleams.

A time of learning, shaping heart and soul,

Of growing limbs, and feelings yet untold,

They lean on us, to make them strong and whole,

Protecting them from stories bleak and cold.

Let children be, with laughter in their eyes,

Not little adults, reaching for the skies.
