The Response
From the Participants
“I learnt and realized that a hidden child lives within every adult. I am happy to say that I found the child within me….I identified whatever mistakes I had made regarding children. Now I know that every child is only a child and not a miniature adult.”
-A Primary School Teacher-
“I identified my own shortcomings as a primary school teacher. At times I have not listened to children or even threatened them. For the first time I learnt what a child expects from us adults, and what qualities we should develop to work with children and of course the dos and don’ts. I am determined to be more caring towards children in the future.”
-A Primary School Teacher-
“I believe that this workshop has given me the ability to mould the baby I carry into a caring humane person and gift him to the world. I’ll be one of the luckiest mothers alive. I gained strength to extend my care to all other children not only mine and help them to become worthy citizens.”
-An expectant mother and a teacher-
“I spend most of mine time with children. But I never had a clear idea of who a child is. This workshop has empowered me to work very closely with children.This workshop took us back to our childhood and it reminded me of its beauty and enchantment.”
-A teacher-
“Often we think of only the subject focused knowledge we pass on to the children in a classroom. Now I realize that we have to understand and get close to them in order to build up an enlightened society.”
-A Primary School Teacher-
“It was a pro-active workshop. I learnt to look at a problem deeply and compassionately and understand the other’s point of view.Understanding the child within me gives me the opportunity to understand other children.”
