A child's natural home should be like the interior of the cover cloth of a mother carrying a child on her back. It is an external womb woven with umbilical cords of love and care. It is wrapped around the breast of the woman and the back of the child to form the most secure bond between a mother and child. Within it is an atmosphere of companionship, secure and warm. Assured of care and love, a child can sleep soundly listening to the rythm of mother's heart beat.
Its interior has properties like no other. it is the safest mode of transportation, a guard from mosqitoes and flies, a rocking chair, and a sedative to induce sleep. The cloth is tuck tied above her breast and knot tied below her belly for structural soundness, a child feels no fear of fall. Above all, the child is lifted up and away from the rough hard earth, a most comfortable perch, no obstacles to surmount or barriers to cross.
That's what a home should be like for every child, Natural, like the interior of the cover cloth of its mother.
See how comfy that child is feeling, in Ghana we say Ne tim ye ne de. Translated as " he has a sugar or sweet head " in other words he loves being pampered.
