Children are the future of any society and Youth currently are going to be the leaders tomorrow, in their respective Society, Companies, Organisations, Families. I have been thinking about these set of people off late, and really want to work with them in a capacity to channel their energies. So, I started writing and putting my thoughts together. Do comment your inputs on this. The context & orientation is purely Indian.
Especially in COVID19 induced situations. Numerous parents now either are facing a pay cut/ Job loss, but still, they focus on their children’s education and career prospects.
OUR CHILDREN - HAPPY CHILDREN
Happy children make happy society and I personally, feel happy to see the school going kids whenever I travel by road. When we start thinking about our children’s career and their future, we go through multiple emotional dilemmas. I have been a keen watcher about parental anxieties and longing for possible solutions. The online forums are filled with these anxious parents who wanted to find out about their children’s future in terms of
· What is the course is suitable for them?
· Is it Engineering or Medical? OR is there any other course they can study?
· Abroad or India?
· Which is the career that is futuristic?
· What if similar COVID kind of situations come up, in their Prime?
And trust me, these are the few lead questions or the tip of Iceberg as the question will arise from the answers that emerge. Endless. Maybe.
Looking at parents they are justified in asking so, after all, they always think better for their children and Parents does not want their children to face hardships similar to ones they have faced. That beautifully places us in seeing the faces of Parents and their thought process. Say types of parents.
· “I don’t know in particular” will be the claims of parents who form the majority. These parents know they have to give the best to their but unaware of the options available.
· “I know all options and I want to children to work on their strengths” the ideal list of Parents.
· “I know my child and I will TELL/LISTEN to them what to do” – strong parenthood. Correct Parenthood??
· “I don’t know and don’t have time to see these things. Children will grow on the flow” we must have seen these set of parents also, who were too involved in their own battle of earning a livelihood.
We all know that every child is different, and every child is a powerhouse. As a parent, we need to know and nourisher their strengths. Blessings are the parents who know their children’s potential truly.
