I feel sad when I think of what today's children are missing! Perhaps they have their own special 'gains', still they are missing a lot! Thanks for writing this beautiful piece which reminded me so much of who I was,who I am, and who I ought to be. Only those who experienced what you wrote about would understand it's impact.Akachi Ezeigbonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25454610.post-51455668340793729882012-01-09T10:08:04.190-08:002012-01-09T10:08:04.190-08:00Your words dully transport the mind, Obododimma.

You have also touched tangentially on an interesting issue: the definition of a 'good' and 'well-behaved' child as that quiet exemplar that contains all his exuberance to the chair during a two hour visit, to the square of paper during his art play.<br /><br />Children come in different moulds and we must find ways to nurture even the disruptively exuberant without crushing their spirit. <br /><br />;-) And coming to art, to find them a large canvas for their muses without losing our living room furniture to their graffiti!chuma nwokolohttp://www.nwokolo.comnoreply@blogger.com
