Gary Smalley writes about vision for a child, in his book, “The Blessing”. He writes this, seeing a special future for a child is like building him a campfire on a dark night. It draws him “toward the warmth of genuine concern and fulfilled potential – instead of leaving a child to head into a dark unknown.Every day you have an opportunity to paint a bright future for you child. It’s so much better drawing a child into an area then trying to drive him. Drawing takes much less effort than driving. A law in physics says that water can not rise above it’s source. The same is true, in a sense, for your child.

That is a nice way of looking at it. But you know the word ‘education’ comes from the Latin ‘educare’ – to draw out. It would be nice if education, bringing up a child, was give a child every opportunity to develop all his/her innate talents and abilities rather than pushing in content to mould the child to the adults’ view of what s/he should become.
Good stuff from you and SavonDuJour for parents to read.
