If someone asks me what\u2019s your experience with children, having gone to many schools and interacting with them, I will reply, \u201c They are so sweet, always living in the present, bubbling with energy, spontaneous, not at all calculative, and of course innocent. And because of all that, one just loves to be with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
I remember a boy from 2nd class in one school. My association with him was for just about 45mins. I was telling some stories to the children in the class, and before I left the class I just gave a pat to this boy. And believe me the 4 days that I stayed there this boy somehow used to find me out whenever he was free from the class. He just came and stood in front of me, just to exchange a word or get a pat from me. <\/p>\n
In another school which I visited recently I asked the students of 6th class, \u201cWhat are the benefits of meditation?\u201d Out came the reply from one boy, \u201cHelps in managing the mind\u201d, and another boy said, \u201cHelps to get rid of fear\u201d, and the third one said, \u201cFor peace of mind\u201d. <\/p>\n
Don\u2019t be surprised. I think it\u2019s time we adults started learning from children.<\/p>\n
