Philosophy statement
Children have eyes full of pure innocence and a mind full of notoriousness. This is the
one quality that drove me towards becoming a child educator. Working with them over a
while gives a deep insight into their behaviour and how the things around them shape

their nature and behaviour towards others. Dealing with children is like writing on a
blank slate knowing what you are writing will never be erased but, will shape an adult
who will project that writing into the society.
My beliefs have been made by working with young minds, and I have found an awful lot
of things about them. Each one learns things in a different way. They cannot be
explained in a nutshell. Each child has a different approach to grasping things, while
one might find rhymes and music easy, the other treats it as a headache and prefers
interacting with colours and some future bankers, with numbers. To battle this, I believe
that a variety of tactics need to be approached to make every child learn one thing. It is
all based on diversity.
Also, children are embarrassed just like adults, so instead of shaming or criticizing,
using terms like the other way could have been better or you can do it much better if
you try again, work like a charm as they don’t make the kids cry.
Children are good at masking. They cannot understand if you read them out from a
book, like a story to put them to sleep. But, they need to see or perform to believe. If
you tell them about gravity, they need to throw an apple and won’t get it from Newton’s
bare example.
To grow good, children need love, this is a cliché, but children need to get attached to
feel comfortable and thus learn. While some carry their favourite toy around, others try
to find comfort in their friends and sometimes, the educator.

Gardener’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences published in 1983. He proposed that there
