Nature of the child

1. Nature of Children
By: Samuel B. Rondina

4. Different Nature of Children
• Children are fearless until we teach them to fear.
• Children are confident until we tell them they are
wrong.
• Children explore until we tell them to sit still.
• Children experiment until we tell them there is only
one right way.
• Children are unique until we demand they conform.
• Children are all self-directed until we convince them
they must be taught.

5. The true nature of a child
is one of boundless energy
and an insatiable ability
and desire to learn.

6. A child in a bi-lingual home will be
fluent in two languages. In a tri-lingual
home? Fluent in three. No syllabus
required. Children are constant
explorers of their world from the
moment of birth.

7. They strive to see farther, move
better, know more. They touch,
they taste, they laugh and play and
all of it is a part of their quest for
knowledge. Always knowledge.

8. Parents tire of the endless
“Why?” but for children the
question is imperative. They
MUST know.

9. Why do we insist on stifling that
nature? On taking the child out of the
world and placing them in a
manufactured environment where they
will be “taught” to learn and be “given”
what is called an education.
