I asked my six year old grand daughter ‘”do you want to do your home work now ? ” . Her answer surprised me . She said I do not want to do it now but I have to do it now . She had obviously another plan in mind at that moment and my reminder interfered with her preferred choice . She was also candid enough to admit the consequences of her inaction .

Children shoot straight  and they do not hide their feelings . It is possible for them because they live in the present moment and do not play any games involving a pay off . But as we grow into experienced adults and become worldly wise,we try hiding our true feelings and come out with statements of intent which we feel will be socially or politically correct . In short , we play games with each other .

Such games are played out in family settings , corporate board rooms or in the political arena and the affected parties at times wonder why such situations develop . In such cases , it is good to remember the child’s reaction to my question which truly addresses the ‘ Feeling – Doing Gap ” .
