This little piece is again courtesy Aarzoo's school and Padma Aunty, the administrator. I loved it and had to share it. The lines are few but say a lot more than tomes on pedagogy in a library. I am not going to spoil it with my commentary save to say that it works.........
I tried to teach my child with books
He gave me only puzzled looks.
I tried to teach my child with words
They passed him by often unheard.
Despairingly, I turned aside,
"How shall I teach this child?" I cried
Into my hand, he put the key,
"Come," he said, "play with me".
He gave me only puzzled looks.

so very very true! May I suggest a wonderful book you should get hold of called the Incredible years?
Thank you S. I will try and get hold of a copy. Could you give me the name of the author and publisher too if possible......

lovely words
Thanks me......it truly left me speechless too......
Muthu dear. Carolyn Webster-Stratton is the author of the book. She made me get over my reservations about people who have hyphenated surnames.What a very sensible lady!
