Reflection on the Child

As in nature- no two tress or flowers,
although seeded at the same time,
grow and bloom at the same rate,
at the same height,
or to the same degree of color.
So also in children.
Although the same age,
each child is like an individual flower
requiring different amounts
of light, water, air and nurturing to grow
to its fullest potential.
Given basic necessities children will
survive,
but it is important to determine what
each needs to truly flourish.
We are the true gardeners in the green-
house of learning.
