Its past one week in June. Next week the schools reopen. The days ahead will hectic for
a month. Now children
and parents are busy buying books and new (school) dresses and accessories for
their children. A decade ago it was
mostly buying books and dresses, but now children want to buy electronic
gadgets and flaunt them. To flaunt about
their riches gadgets have become more important than education for some
children, particularly those entering into colleges.
Use of electronic gadgets has become part of life. At the same time its abuse and misuse may
lead to more harm. Parents should give
freedom to children making them aware of their responsibility towards family
and society. Saying simply ‘No’ or
giving away whatever they ask may have harmful effect on their psyche. When a ‘no’ is said a proper reason should be
given and when any new gadget is presented its proper use should be
advocated.
Parents should be friendly with children and spend and an
hour or two with children everyday and know what is going on at their institute
and in their class. This close rapport with children will help the parents to
know about the general and educational activity of children. It also helps to know the problems that are
faced by the children in early stage and counsel them in dealing with the
situation.
Allowing the children their space of freedom and everyday
interaction will result in strong emotional bonding and the children going
astray is rare.
I wish all the students a successful academic year.
