The Child is The Father of Man
The statement ‘Child is the Father of Man' may seem strange but these are the words of the celebrated Romantic poet of England, William Wordsworth, and are full of meaning and truth of life. If we think deeply, we will realise that child is a man-in-the making and man his only a grown up child. In other words the growth from childhood to manhood is continuous symmetrical spontaneous and natural.
This in simple words means that the traits of childhood continue in manhood. In other words, if we want to have better man we must first have better children. If we pay no attention to the child, he grows into a worthless youth and equally or even more worthless man.
A child’s mind is like a clean slate. Whatever is written on it, its imprint continues on his mind forever in life. A child is greatly influenced by the milieu and environment in which he lives. If his parents are quarrelsome and aggressive by nature, he grows almost like them. If they are religiously minded he acquires the same traits.
Some children suffer from want, lack of affection and neglect. Such children cannot develop a good and lovable personality. We may read carefully the words of Anant Waraich on child psychology as given below: “Child is the father of man" a is a common proverb which literally explains the practical importance of Child psychology. A nation depends upon the care and upbringing of children. The future of tomorrow’s society depends upon the physiological and psychological development of today’s children.
“Child psychology therefore as umes importance for all those who are interested in the healthy development of a child’s personality".
— Anant Waraich
