A sunny disposition can easily ease the social needs of the owner.
As a result of years mingling with my students, I have been able to do a little bit of observation. The findings may deem to be nothing unusual. On the contrary, the findings may be quite important for us to understand the predicament which some of the students are facing.
Some are naturally accepted by the rest of the school community, whereas some are actually struggling to fit in this society.
The type of upbringing these 'misfits' receive may make it impossible for them to smile spontaneously. They shun any active group discussion and they shy away from speaking up their minds. Sometimes, the situation is made worse by the discriminating style of teachers who are too eager to label their students as 'the cute ones', 'the talkative ones' or 'the boring and slow ones'.
It hurts the child. Thank God the effects may not last very long, once the child outgrows the intriguing period of 'schooling' years.
