You have caught the essence of the old popular 1967 education classic, "How
Children Learn" by John Holt! The book focuses on the author's interactions
with young children, and his observations of children learning. From these
experiences he attempts to make sense of how and why children do the things
they do. The central thesis of his work is that children learn most effectively
by their own motivation and on their own terms. He opposes teaching in general,
believing that children find it just as patronizing as would an adult, and that
parents should only provide information as it is requested.
Nice to see parents like you taking active interest in facilitating learning
amongs young minds!
Hats off!

Dear Satyendra ji
Once a friend of mine came to home and saw my son and nefwe were making
drawing using photoshop not the photo paint. He suddenly asked me 'arre ye
bacche computer chala rahe hain? Kharaab ho gaya to?
my answer was yes " ye kharab ho sakta hai bahut kam chances hain per in
bachhon ka dimag khul jayega 100% sach hai".
I know most of the people think of that children can destroy the
equipment if we share with them. Or do not learn any thing if we take them in
the field. many of them think that they will disturb them in the field too.
My son many times visit to the field with me and many times he says he
got tired. But at last he always says that the day was very good and he saw
many new things.
He is famous in his school for wildlife and nature observer too.
These are the personality who in future learn to save our environment.

Dear All And Mr Bhumesh,
A very similar case here. Mi niece Munmun is my field assistant most of
the time on our photography trips. She started coming alone ( without her
parents) with us in the jungle since the age of 19 months. That was first time
she saw the wild animals. Later on by 26 months of age she demanded for a
camera so we gave her a broken body with good lens that she used for 6-7
months. Suddenly one day she asked that why the film never comes out of my
camera??
That was a good reason to give her a Digital camera. Later on she asked
for a camera where she can change the lens. By this time I was using digital
and I had 5 Nikon camera bodies ( 3 N 90 AND 2 F100) spare. so she started
using F 90 with 70-300 F 5.6 lens.
She does lots of photography mainly to show it in to her school.
elephant and Tiger are her favourite animals for photography. probably because
these animals always fascinate childrens.
In the monsoon Bandhavgarh Park is closed for tourism but on
Janmashtami it is open for pilgrimage.
We walked to see the water situation in the park and to photograph
butterflies and Landscape.
this picture was taken at that time. We saw some good numbers of
butterflies mud puddling.
