An interesting and important area. I note that you are in India. It would be useful to know from where the responses to this request originate and the frame, socio/cultural/economic, in which the responses are embedded. On Thu, Feb 17, 2022 at 10:45 PM Jinan K B <[email protected]> wrote:

I am trying to get together parents to become learners and become models for children to awaken their learning ability.
The biggest fallout of the modern educational paradigm is the loss of knowledge creation in society so much so that even the knowledge to look after children is gone. Parents are depending on books and authorities to look after children and this is what children are experiencing the day in and day out.
Unfortunately, children learn what they experience and imbibe this nature of dependency from their parents. Also their anxiety, stress, etc
I have worked out an interesting way to turn this around.
During the Covid lockdown, we worked with a group of parents and asked them to let children do what they feel like and just document what children do naturally and spontaneously. We specifically requested the parents not to interfere, guide, etc. We also requested parents to make a few changes in the house. This made the parents begin to observe their children keenly and then the magic began to happen.
Parents were able to bring back joy, creativity, and exploration into the lives of children and the parents themselves became freer and less anxious. They were able to see the logic behind the so-called meaningless activity that children were doing.
There is a need to rediscover our innate abilities.
We are trying to get more parents into this activity and request your help in sharing this brochure.
