The above quotes from world renowned painter and sculptor, Michelangelo, have informed my analogy of a child being like that statue of an angel that is inside the marble and we have to a task of setting that angel free. As a healthcare professional, my task is to get them healthy and developing well.
Parents, teachers and the whole community also have their roles to play in order for the child to become the best version of themselves. Every aspect of the child must be optimised in order to give them the best chance at a fruitful life.In fulfilling our roles, it is important that we remember that children must be approached in a manner appropriate to their experience of their world.
