To all my dear pre-primary teachers,

I would like to share my experience and feelings on what a teacher means to the world and to the innocent child. Though I come from a non-teaching background, being a teacher has been my most soul touching experience! I feel like I'm one among the children, and every emotion of my children makes me realise how important life is,how important we are to them and that we can make or break a person with our good intentions...

I feel childhood is the most formative, enjoyable part of life.Whatever we accept or grasp at this stage remains with us for the rest of our life. A small child knows only the language of love.Till they come to school,they are in the warmth of their parents love and thus adjusting to a new environment like school may seem like a huge mission to them.But when they find similar love in school, they adjust sooner and overcome all their fears. A teacher must first win the heart of the child by understanding , listening and also by being one of them.Once this is accomplished, learning and facing new challenges becomes fun and simple.

New topics taught to the children must be related to day-to-day examples so that the child can understand and relate to it better. A teacher must be a very good listener, in order to inculcate confidence among them.Only by doing so the children open up and share more things.They should feel that their teacher is one among them. Once this is achieved TEACHING, for teachers and EDUCATION for children becomes a cake walk!!
