Allow your child to do things

A boy was sitting on the edge of a lake, looking yonder.
A passer-by asked, “whatcha doing?”
“Nothing” the boy replied.
He was lectured to use his time “productively”.

The boy sighed and waited for the first passer-by to go away.

After some time another passer-by asked, “whatcha doing?”
“Thinking” the boy replied.
Satisfied this passer-by moved on.

After some time another .passer-by asked, “whatcha doing?”
“Observing” the boy replied.
Satisfied this passer-by moved on too.
Now wiser, the boy continued to give people answers that they liked.

Finally, a child of the same age came along and asked, “whatcha doing?”
“Nothing” the boy replied.
Nodding in agreement, the child joined the boy, sitting down to do nothing!
