A preschooler,aged between two and four years of age, faces many challenges of
accepting,understanding and learning from his environment. This is the period of developing
mental skills and exploring the language. One must keep in mind that not all children are born with
the same mental capabilities and therefore cannot be taught in the same manner. It becomes the
duty of the parents and teachers to gauge the pace at which a child is able to learn and develop
new skills. It is not a game of teaching to read and write that would end in a win or loss. It is
essential to appreciate small milestones that our children cross and needless to have unrealistic
expectations. Investing time and energy, and individualising instruction are indispensable to child
upbringing.
