Meghnaad is my 8 year old nephew. I have a special bond with this child for reasons unknown. From a few social meetings I have had with him, I have come to this conclusion that he is a genius. Excellent vocabulary in multiple languages, super imagination, clarity of thoughts are a few of his qualities.
When he was 6 yrs old , he came to my dental clinic for the first time. I was at my best to alleviate his fears ( but I don't think he had any) . I was trying to divert his attention from the main dental procedure and we were talking .
Me : Meghnaad , what do you want to become when you become big ? ( I think it was a bad , boring question to ask a 6 yr old, 🤣.) But in hindsight , i am happy I asked.
Meghnaad : I want to become a gentleman!!!!!
I was speechless. I managed to ask further.
Me: Why do you want to become a gentleman?
Meghnaad : Because my mother said I have to become a gentleman when I grow up.
It was as simple for the kid to become what his mother wanted him to.
Kudos to this mother for instilling such a behavioural thought into her son's mind.
Isnt it said that the home is a child's first school ??????
