The Second Reflection!

THE SECOND REFLECTION !!
The session
started as the last time. She came to pick me up and we traversed our way
through those smelly by lanes. I notice how Prachi gets conscious because of
the smell and the problem she thinks it might create for me. But, I try to keep
it subtle and kept talking so that the bad of something doesn't affect the
goodness of our relationship.
Last time we
had decided to read. So, I was carrying an Encyclopedia, an interactive English
grammar book and a novel by Agatha Christie. I let her see all the books and
choose what she wanted to read.
In the
meantime, her family came to meet me. This time, they stood there for a very
long time and kept on watching what we were doing. I was in a dilemma. I didn’t
like the constant pondering of her sister and father.
When we
started reading, her sister sat with us and read along with us. Prachi decided
to read the Encyclopedia. The images and details about Space, world, history
etc. fascinated her. I thought her sister was also interested. But later she
was just yawning and sitting which made me a little uncomfortable.
Things got
interactive only after she left. We decided to read about the world and discuss
it. I made her read and asked few things about it. She didn’t ask any question
other than few English words.
We jot down
few points that we thought we will google and then discuss about it. We also
made plans for our next visit.
All in all,
it started on a little uncomfortable note with eyes prying on me but ended on a
sweet smile.

After all I realised that everyone wants to be sure that the children always get the right thing! May be , a parent in future even I will stand and look what is put in my kids' head! Its natural, protective and practical. I understood them! I understood my parents better today!
