Kids have a very innocent imagination and lot of inquisitiveness. They keep surprising us with the questions that come to them and also the things that they imagine. My little daughter is going to be in PP-2. Once I told her to write the Hindi alphabets Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha etc. My 4 year old started writing after looking at the book she said Kha is like 201 number with 0 and 1 joint together. She asked should I write 201 repeatedly to practice this Hindi letter? This is how she linked it with the Math numbers she had learned. This is how a small kid can imagine about numbers and alphabets. Even the 2 subjects have no relation at all she was seeing the similarity in the shapes and coming to some conclusions of her own.
Kids have a very fertile mind and relate to things that they are learning like letters, numbers, words in their own unique way. "I will not go to school Mama, because you will be alone at home. Who will take care of you?" Sweet kids, sweet talk.
Sometimes they ask some questions to which we don't have any answers. Why this chapati is not rectangle shape? Why is it round? Why different leaves have different shapes? Why flowers have different colors? Why our grandparents do not come to visit us frequently? Why we don't have wings like birds? Dogs bark and Cow Moos, why they don't talk like us? This is kids innocent world away from all worries, away from all politics of Adult's world.
