i woke up this morning to face yet another news on a child committing suicide for scoring less marks in exam..this time the child was in grade 8th..i was shocked, horrified and very very very angry. its a reminder to myself and a sincere request to all parents , that there should be no pressure on children to perform and achieve. we dont want to tell our children that we love them more when they get good marks, whether academically, or socially. we need to tell our kids that we love and accept them, no matter what. we do not stop encouraging them. but we stop feeling frustrated, sad, angry, embarrassed at their performances at school, in a party, in sports classes, in society's park..everywhere. when they fail at something, all they desparately need that time is hug from us that says "i love you and i am there for you". a sarcastic, angry, philosophical or frustrated response will say "i will love you when you achieve". our negative responses, when our children need our acceptance, can be very detrimental to their delicate minds. www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-in-school/article3301567.ece |
