Who is this child? Who is this learner? Do we understand him or her? Do we know what lies inside and in the future of each? Who will show them, teach em, lead em.
Each child is CAPABLE
To Dream, To Think, To Decide, To Do, To Fail, To Achieve, To Assess, To Learn, To Enjoy, To Live. Even if for a moment you think the child is not capable, would you not like the child to be capable? And if we want them to become capable, then we need to invite them to start using their capabilities, polish them, develop them so that soon our belief in their capabilities turns out to be a reality.
We notice, with loads of delight that they have every strength in them which is needed to live a life. They may not be using all of them all the time (but then neither do we adults). Can we not recognize, acknowledge and reinforce these strengths. In any case, this capacity and the capability-building journey lasts a full lifetime.
Some parents asked us to help in replicating the same schedule at home as Aarohi. It's not possible to just replicate the schedule of one space to another space, as each space has different flavors. And that difference flavor brings an opportunity to understand the concept of schedule and planning rather than duplicating.
Planning is a very personal process
Some like to plan hourly
Some like to plan with a target
Some like to work on one topic
Some like to work on multiple topics
Some like to plan in general (I have an idea what all I want to do)
Also, it evolves - keep moving from one style to another.
It will be very limiting to say one way is better or another way is not better.
Since it is about the child - the best is to be reflected with the child “What works for you?”
