When initially I went through Kavimamani’s children’s poems in Tamil, I admired them. Entering into the exclusive world of children I recognized the wisdom hidden behind them, They are admirable humorous and arouse our admiration. While going through these poems the thought that struck me was that these poems are not only for enjoyment, but contain the art of living. Each poemteaches life’s understanding. Modern children have psychological problems.,the stress they undergo in their education both school and college due to the compulsion of the parents to get first rank and from their peers and the thrust put on them to become master in every aspect have all resulted in their violent behaviour are some of the aspects covered in the poems on ancient wisdom which are relevant for today’s circumstances was a great revelation to me. My daughter,being a young mother always shares the problems of her daughter’s upbringing. Taking cue from these poems I always tender my advice to her and I feel that this information should be shared to other mothers also who can benefit for the upbringing of their children.. Cultural degradation and forgotton traditional values are the causes for the bane in the Indian society which can be corrected through absorbing the finer points outlined in these poems. We have absorbed the lifestyle of our elders. But somewhere, we failed to impart the same tour children and insist on them to lead lives as the elders did, Hence this generation is at crossroads, more confused than ever. By reading the entire volume of Kavimamani Ilayavan’s poems a clarity dawned on me as to how the parents should bring up their wards... There is a vast change in the lifestyle of yester years and that which we live today. The parents are at the crossroads caught between tradition and modernity. These poems through sufficient light on the balance that has to be made in the upbringing of the children. Reading of the book has been a very pleasurable and delightful experience. The entire book seems to be a mirror reflection of my thoughts. When I reflect I long “Oh God! How soon I have grown up! It would have been nice to live the life of a child all over again, When I see the children pranking around me and interact with them, I am living of Kavimamani Ilayavan’s ‘Children’s Literary Poems’ and experience those precious moments.
