Today’s lifestyle is juxtaposed with stress and growth. Scoring extremely laudable marks, and grades in examinations is not the only thing that shows a child’s capacity or achievement. There are quite a few more areas where the child’s latent uniqueness can be brought out, as should we say seen. Sports and extra-curricular activities should be regularly, attended to by the students to enable them to be mentally and physically alert. Here they learn to develop friendships and sharing tendencies that would be extremely helpful to them in the long run. Besides, physical, social, and intellectual challenges, children get exposed to technology and science-oriented areas 100.

Parents should see that their wards don’t sit in front of the TV and computer over a long period but make them work out in greener areas, such as playgrounds or walk spots. Addiction to the internet and PlayStations is the fashion for today’s youngsters. They could be termed couch potatoes. Much un dry-sundry stuff like popcorn, chips, and other oily snacks makes them sick and lazy too. Parents must wear them out of these and force them to cultivate less stress and more creative activities. Forced learning leads one nowhere. It’s like a labyrinth. One goes awry without knowing the lead. A sense of responsibility that is inculcated from the very beginning enables a child to show its uniqueness without training itself too much. Young children have egos inherent in them. I know’ they seem to say when advised. This is not something to be considered as wrong. Good, positive ideas are to be nurtured and appreciated. Parents should teach a child self-respect and at the same time to respect elders. To force ideas and matters on their children is incorrect. We cannot expect a mere child to cope with everything possible; the poor thing would be a mass of muddle in the very end.
