Abstract
Young children provide a range of dialogues that
reflect a deep affinity for making associations,
compare and draw their own inferences for making
meaning of the world around them. Their dialogues
can range from ‘it rains because teacher throws
buckets of water up up up’. An irate three-year old
having to leave her playschool a bit early
complained “Mama why do you come early?’ A four
year old is exasperated when haphazardly placed
cushions are fixed by the mother and howls “you
ruined the cave of the lion, the deer will now be
caught!” Such childhood narratives convey the
vibrancy of children’s thought and processes of
thinking. They convey their ability to think in novel
ways and make meaning of physical-social reality.
Their statements point to fresh perspectives from
their experiences and explorations rather than
shaped by adult interventions. Children reflect
creative minds and multiple visions.
