Waiting on a Harvest

As a farmer waits for a harvest, so do we as educators and parents wait for our students’ growth. As a parent, many of us have had to endure the fun and enjoyment of watching and waiting for our students to yield a mighty harvest.

Follow up:

Though one can see growth from the start, often times, the desire for an immediate harvest frustrate the harvest and the harvester. The harvest is challenged by the demands of the harvester for growth, and the harvester is challenged by the response of the harvest to the time and resources invested in the growth.

Patience is the key, and because it is a rare commodity, often times a harvest is gathered to quick or abandoned all together. Our continued impatience with the harvest can destroy crops, and stunt the growth of others.

While waiting on the harvest, one must remember that it is not enough just to plant a seed, water once, and wait; but the harvest will require on going nourishment, that will insure a yield will of the desired amount. As educators and parents, we must understand that our response to the harvests' growth can determine if growth continues or if it is halted. Let us thus monitor our interaction with the mighty harvest we have, insuring that we handle each one with love and support.
