Dear Editor,

It fills me with joy to find that Rwandan parents have nurtured their children in a way that gives them confidence, assertiveness and freedom to talk and air out their aspirations.

In other places I have been to, children grow up to the age of fifteen, when they can seldom talk to elders or express their problems to any one around them; this poses a potential danger to their development and lives, in case of problems.

Bringing up a child on fear retards his/her cognitive abilities and hampers creativity, simply because there is no room for growth in their minds due to fear of this and that. Giving children freedom to speak, eliminates fear in them.

Rwandan children are going to flourish in the various aspects of life, due to the intellect conditioning and an open cognitive disposition this somewhat up bringing exposes them to.

I congratulate and encourage Rwandan parents to continue nurturing this kind of spirit in their children, because levelling the ground for a child’s curiosity and satisfying it, enormously contributes to its mental and physical growth.
