Children’s Love

By: Prem Prasad Sigdel

Children love water and mud most as they have much concentration when they play with these things. They have taken them as their lovely friends while playing. Their intense love towards these things grows by their nature. They don’t feel any hesitation nor repentance while playing rather they have shown the worst nature of them of being wet and dirty. They have neither feeling of dirty nor have they known the danger of it.

It makes us realize that children have naturality within them so they love natural things much. As humans are the part of nature childhood age is the beginning of it. The cultures have instructed them after some years as they have been brought up. Thus the origin of the human nature springs up from nature and natural phenomena so the love of children intends towards nature.

Being adult we feel somehow odd to play with water and mud. We want to be neat and clean of not playing with water and mud. It means we have ignored the reality of children that they are good experimenter. They want to experiment water and mud so that they can get the natural feelings. Hence their love goes towards natural things which also help to grow their mental capacity. The scholars have also proved that the children should play with natural things to increase their mental capacity.

The children want to explore the things around them due to their inquisitive nature. They find nature much wide out of their parents’ lap. So they have much curiosity to test the nature and natural things. They want to reside with the nature, experience them, test them, assimilate with them, find new things, and be satisfied. It means their inquisitive nature makes them scientists themselves.

The thing is that I have observed the nature of children nearby as being a teacher. Mostly small children don’t stay static. Rather they play with this and that. They have run even in the room. If we ask them not to do the thing they do it at prior. They just realize the mistake and run away though they can’t escape from the grip of elders. If they find anything interesting they observe it, touch it, either damage it or make it their own. So the nature of children is interesting, varied, inquisitive, odd, scientific, literarical and so on.

Hence the knowledge what they have got is always natural or spontaneous. They have the interest to know the surrounding. Accordingly they would be able to find out the surrounding even more. On the other hand, I have found that they are equal to scientists. The scientists have been successful with the experiment of the things as we have heard their history. So the children have also followed the same path by their prime age. Later on they have learnt something different with the culture and they are away from nature.

The parents have taught them that water and mud are not good things to touch so they are detached from them. It is one of the interference on children’s right. It seems necessary to promote children’s nature to have good achievement in our life. We can even develop scientist if we have promoted our children in such a way.

It is also said that natural feelings of students has helped them to grow mental ability. Mostly the parents have complained to their children that they are weak in study. They have made their children prisoner from natural things. They don’t allow them to play with natural objects like water and mud which they love more. So it is necessary to let them play in the mud and water to increase their creativity.
