Three weeks back, the child development resource was complete and received the first visitor! The department where I work was active for the last three months to complete this project of visual display of childhood development from infancy to adolescence in a spacious room, which was my office space until recently! It was an activity in which my colleagues and the pre-internship trainees actively participated!
We had a few minutes back lit a candle symbolically to mark the occasion of a new beginning before the visitor walked in!
For the visitor it was an unusual sight of pictures and captions on neatly arranged series of framed posters! His first response was, 'Oh something to learn form'! His remark in the visitor's dairy conveyed this even more!
As we reflected on the preparation to convert this room into a place for visitors, our desire was that it would initiate a new line of thinking about child development! Children acquire their character and conduct from the environment they live and relate! The first visitor captured this intent well!
