Child is The Father of Man

This saying appears to be apparently absurd but is, in reality, true. Childhood is a period in the life of a human being, when he is most easily impressed. Anything that the child learns or acquires in this period has a far-reaching effect on his career. It has been said that geniuses like Newton gave a promise of their greatness at an early age. History gives us many examples of extra-intelligent children, who rose to be great man in their later life. Of course, these are some exceptions to this general rule. One thing however, is clear that we can to a great extent; control the future of a child by giving him the right sort of education. A child, who is deprived of it in his early years, has to pay a heavy price during the rest of his life. The childhood of a person is often an index to his manhood.
