Parenting
Do not burden your child
Childhood, which was once considered
as the golden period of one’s
life and age of fun and frolic blessed
with innocence and carefree nature,
now has lost its charm and blissfulness
and become a burdened age. Today’s
child faces many burdens very early
in his life. He tastes the meanings
of words like tough competition,
rivalry, interview, tuition, coaching
etc. as soon as he reaches infancy.
At the mere age of two or so he
is exposed to the so-called informal
education or preparatory schools.
On the pretext of imparting informal
education many of these schools
start teaching (reading, writing
and arithmetic) to children, when
they are not at all prepared for
them. These schools prepare them
for their admission in big (formal)
schools or in other words teach
them ‘how to face an interview
board’ at 2 ½ years
of age. So children have to carry
this burden of getting admission
in the school of their parents’
choice. God forbid, by chance if
they fail to get admission in any
of these schools, they have to face
agony of their parents, who openly
blame them for this failure, indirectly
hurting their self-esteem at such
an impressionable age.
After the child admission in school,
don’t always expect excellent
academic and extra curricular performance.
Don’t insist that your child
should always stand first in class,
be s good swimmer, an excellent
debater and so on. Let him take
things easy according to his own
pace.
We are not sparing them even in
their vacations. In our times vacations
were meant for visiting our grandparents,
relatives or ancestral place, have
masti and revive our bonding with
elder but now a days during vacations
also we want our children to enjoy
hobby classes and learn painting,
drawings, music, dance, horse riding
etc. In holidays also they have
to follow a set of routine and there
is no time to relax and discover
themselves. Their schedule has become
so tight that they are hardly left
with anything to pursue their own
interests.
We want our children to achieve
all that we could not achieve due
to various reasons. By doing so
we indirectly pressurize our children.
So being parents, dear friends,
let these children enjoy their childhood,
let them wander in the wonderland
of dreams and fairy tales. Let them
explore and enjoy the beauty of
the world around them. Let’s
be friends with them and try to
see the world through their eyes.
Let’s listen to their viewpoints
and new ideas. Give them time and
space to flourish.
Today’s
pushy parents taking extreme route
A new breed of “extreme”
parents are going to increasingly
desperate lengths to give their
children a head start over there
peers according to a new book on
family life is claming. Growing
numbers of middle class mothers
and fathers are loosing sight of
the joy of childrearing as they
drive their offspring to excel at
everything.
They begin to see fellow parents
as competitors rather than allies
in the struggle to bring up the
perfect son or daughter. They resort
to extremes their own parents would
never have considered to give their
children and edge over their peers-
even sneakily practicing for the
egg and spoon race.
Some forge homework written in the
name of their offspring-including’
authentic mistakes- and put them
to be with foreign radio station
playing encourage language learning.
