We
hear many people whine about kids not listening to them for studies, not taking
up good lessons, but have we introspected enough?
Why
do kids behave in such a fashion?
Why are
they mannerless?
Have
we found the root cause of it?
Kids
are innocent (less aware of things than you) then why complain kids?
Very
true, it’s not the kids who are at fault, but parents.
Because
they get their colas and burgers very easily, they don’t listen to you. In
earlier days, we had to pay the price of seeing Chitrahaar on Sunday, by doing
homework for the whole week. Our pleasures were priced. But now days, parents
themselves make junk too easily available for them.
When
SSC was the best syllabus, but now a days, whether a kid is capable or not, he
has no choice, but to go to 8 hours school of CBSE/ICSE syllabus. Where
education was once, to give a way of living, now a days it is more of fashion
and status quo for parents.
Looking
at other side of story, I totally agree that SSC schools have degraded their
quality by overcrowded classrooms (teaching 80-90 students in a class), but we
are snatching away the most memorable days of life- a carefree childhood.
We
want kids to behave as kids of parent’s era, in fast developing and junk
atmosphere.
Dear
parents, when you have also changed, modified yourselves according to changing
times, how can you expect kids to behave like in the past. Very contradictory.
We
are cutting trees like anything to park our cars, but we want kids to plant a
tree and play outside with friends. Where on one hand, they are scoulded by neighbours
for broken window pane or car parking or fight amongst them due to ego - centric
kids.
Where
does this come from, ego in such small kids?
Why
are they so mature?
Why
do they feel insulted listening to parents or elders?
The
reason is grownups, we are bringing up them in that way. They are taught whom
to play with, and whom to skip. They are even taught to lie on phone for their
parent’s bosses or boring aunty in neighbourhood.
We
cannot ignore the fact, that healthy mind leads to healthy body and healthy
body leads to happy life. We deliver on basis of what we intake. Good thoughts
and good deeds give us a healthy way of life.
Not
to forget, the distractions of modern times, TV, Internet, Mobile phones are a
big disease to deal with. We have crumbled then natural process of nature and
God, and believe we can control everything from our fate to everything, but we
are overlooking the other side of the coin. The recent case of Uttarakhand is an
example of this.
The
food that is supplied to us is so hybrid, reason being feeding the large
population. What goodness is left for new age kids and above that we introduce
to them new restaurant and a movie every weekend that leaves them less serious
about studies.
