When I'm writing for kids, I must lookout! See that I don't end up writing therapy books. Its easy to be top down and weave a moral into my story. Kids can sense this and they switch off. I must write without having to preach. Must write from the heart. I learn my lessons through life's experiences and every story will always have an inherent message when its a true reflection of life itself.
Kids imbibe values very quickly. They learn that life is all about priorities. Their role models are all around them to watch and imitate. Do my parents prioritise us kids or our grandparents? Do they want us to study more or play more? Do they want us to be bookworms and grow up knowledgeble or do they prefer us to mingle with folk and be street smart?
What do I prioritise in my life? Career first and marriage later? Am I able to balance both - because anything in excess is wrong. I must learn to be passionate but not excessive in my tastes, living in moderation and prioritising so that I benefit and in the long run, society benefits.
