The Child as a little “goal-getter”

Children wherever they are prefer to live and try to understand their environment as simply as possible. When the Christian bible says in Mark 10: 13-14, that the kingdom of God belongs to the children, it was a proverbial way of telling the adults that for them to gain the kingdom of God, they have to take things as simply as possible. Children have their innate psyche, and prefer to go the extra mile to satisfy themselves even on trivial things. Now, considering the child as a goal-getter is the closest we can have toward a child fulfilling his or her desire to satisfy, irrespective of the obvious challenges or hurdle he or she has to scale. That is the reason when a father who has gone to work all day, returns to see the child, most especially the daughter, dotting over him in all manners like…

“Daddy, let me have your bag!”

“Daddy, when you’re not home, Uncle Dave came visiting!”

“Dad, see I can now walk with the POP. It hurts no more!”

“Daddy, Mum picked out a fly from the soup pot today!” and so on and so forth.

They want to satisfy every curiosity of the absent member of the family as soon as possible. Sometimes, there is the competition of who breaks certain news to that member of the family first. They become a hysteric goal-getter, especially when asked to carry out an assignment and eventually told to stop without any reason whatsoever. Children at such tender age as 4, 5, 6 and sometime up till 10 are generally believed to be hyperactive, or mischievous in some cases. And this is the reason, that when a child is in age 4 or 5 you even beg him or her NOT to dip hands in the washing basin. They are always eager to assist in the home chores, but the difference is seen at age 17, when you now have to beg them to put their rooms aright, and wash in the basin. Age and exposure have simply taken away the drive to learn and experience their environment by being involved in it. They have been deprived of that innate simplicity. They are now growing into adulthood. And this culminated into a strong reason for a parent to be more observant and careful in decision makings either at home or anywhere else.
