Recently, I watched Taare Zameen Par, the directorial venture of Aamir Khan who is my favorite actor. Incidentally, Aamir Khan also produced the movie and played the lead role of Ram Shankar Nikhumb, a teacher who helps a dyslexic child Ishaan Awasthi to create his wonderful world of imagination and bring out his innate art of painting. In the process, he helps out Ishaan to overcome his learning and reading problem in a unique way.
The movie is a lesson to every parent and teacher, who thinks academics is everything. One has to understand the fact that every child is different and has his or her own way of learning. The pace at which one learns things varies. Parents have to encourage their kids to dream and imagine. The movie also points out to the fact that every dyslexic child has the right to study in a regular school. Every parent and teacher has to take a cue from Nikhumb as to how to deal with dyslexic children or for that matter any child who has trouble in academics. A dyslexic child is like any other innocent child who has his own world of dreams and imagination and when properly nurtured, you might see an Albert Einstein, a Thomas Alva Edison, a Walt Disney (the list goes on) who were all dyslexic to born with.
