The important thing is that children do not have the perverse calcification scheme that we have in terms of classifying creative activity into drawings and poetry. Children are born creative and exercise that creativity – at their own will and in their own style. So I guess we should practice permissive parenting that allows children to find their own source of excitement and meaning.

I remember clearly my little cousin doing the same thing in the Colombo – zoo. He was chasing doves. So I guess, you child is seeing the magic of phenomenon’s – that no longer excites you, perhaps the magic of flight. Perhaps you should think – may be I should groom him to be a pilot ? …….., You can add to this list.

My recommendation is to give up and share the excitement that child sees in that god dammed crow – that is black and beautiful
