Children’s Day Special

In today’s scenario the innocent brain of a child is burdened with strange stress for achievements in life. Be it the feel of accomplishment of his daily homework, grabbing position in sports or extra curricular activities or getting placed rightly later in his career.
I remember an incident when I was young, some family friends were about to visit us and I was told to behave properly in front of them. During the tea session an uncle called me up and started interviewing me. I candidly tried answering what so ever meaning I could derive out of the hint of his questions I could perceive. I was stuck on one particular question, What you want to be in your life?
At this point of time I was not having the slightest idea, what I really intend to be in my life. I was totally jammed and able to see some embarrassment on my parents face. I tried attempting the question and muttered I want to be happy in my life, every one broken into the pearls of laughter. Though nobody questioned for my silly answers there after but this light incident had a strong impression in my mind moreover as the kids accompanying with the family answered gracefully some crammed answers.

Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.

Mostly, children are forced to wear their parent’s or school’s masks to save its repute in the society. This is one of the reasons of our younger generation becoming imbalanced in emotions. In this highly competitive world, stress for success in order to make a child’s identity has become a obligation for every child, in this struggle not every child gets through.

Most unfortunate part is that a child’s own parents are pushing them into this dark well. It is quite understood that there are certain things which are done to remove insecurity from a child’s life in this competing world. But how brainless to let your own child keep deprived and then expect best results out of him. Parents are not providing quality time to their children. If at all they gave time to children, it’s mostly for taking their studies and not for making fun.

We are helpless in protecting fragrance of innocence in our Kids. My four years old nephew when asked any question is forced to repeat the answers what his parents murmur in his ear and not use his brain rather. My friend’s daughter imitates TV soaps actors. In fact kids tend to behave the person whom they like best and mostly they do copy their parents. Let’s not pressurize them we should behave and live an exemplary life.

Many time I felt pressure in his life. Due to school timings he go early & come late, after that teachers give home work so much ,children can’t play due to home work ,even they can’t sleep properly. Even many teacher build pressure on children for taking private tuitions
It seems that the fate of poor children from middle class of developing country is bound to encounter such crisis in an endeavor of their parents to get rid of their class.
The pressure of performing well is taking away from a child of all there innocence, parents want there child to be in professional courses in the field they want him to do, where as a child is not even able to identify his own ambitions in his parents ambition race. Children are under pressure, the pressure is from parents and teachers. Feels like being shut in small boxes and pressurized to study non-stop and score good marks otherwise get blasting. All children won’t find time to enjoy childhood as no time to look around but just get buried in books.
Children should be allowed to bloom at their own pace, only then we can find creators being created. So ultimately, it is the parents who need to be educated and brought about awareness in order to keep their unrealistic desires at bay and give quality life to their children.
