A father and Mother beside their pre-school child!

I remember a mother mentioning to me about her morning walk with her three years old son, during which her son's main occupation was to look for birds. He heard the bird calls and located the birds. The mother observed that her son was attentive to musical tunes. During the singing  at the prayer  time in thier home, this child was often attentive. She bought a Xylophone for him, which he used to make tunes of different notes.

It was this interest in appreciating different tunes and produce them on the Xylophone which made her consider that their son had a musical ear. He was singing by four and in a choral group at five years and starting on piano lessons at six years. 

This special experience started with  the morning walk, when this boy paid attention to bird calls. 

Now in his teenage years, he is nature lover, gardener, bird watcher, pianist, choral singer, and a class leader supporting his friends in the musical performances in the school. 

All because a mother found time for her son. 

It was his father's turn in the evening to play outdoor games, take him for swimming and read to him children's stories at bed time. His interest in Badminton and Table tennis made him to play these games at school. 

A child blossoms when surrounded by parents who create time and turn their interests into creative exploration!

A home is a formative influence on a child during his or her pre-school years!
