I got a mail “practice as often as possible and not
occasionally. Regularity in classes ensure growth as envisaged by us as an
organisation”……… …hmm I read and this made me think
What is growth?
Am I learning for someone else’s growth?
Am I learning for growth envisaged by someone else ?
I read in an article “kids have become parents’ pet
project”.
And oh god! to support that pet project we get enough media
screaming “give us your child we will make him better, make your child super
achiever………..the list is long”.
Well, some of us like you and me cannot stop these marketing
gimmicks – what all we can do is EMPOWER the child who is able to stand for
herself in the midst of all this rat race.
In Satmave Jayte Aamir Khan emphasizes "Parents are
responsible for child's sexual safety". We go one step ahead - lets
empower children to be responsible for their sexual safety (knowing that we
cannot be present with children all the time).
So in learning too we go ahead and constantly work on
“empowering”.
Many times parents come and ask me “I will not demand from
my child to do things for performance or get good marks but the schools/ teacher/ others
demand” And I say repeatedly “its good news that others demand, empower your
child to THINK and able to SCREEN and still learn what child wants to
learn.
We are not asking the whole world to change the way we think
or look at the learning the way we look - that will be too mean :)............what I see way
ahead is “EMPOWER” ability to THINK for self.

A very in-depth write-up, parents have to understand their children and take apt decisions, competing with other children is not going to help the child's overall growth, empowering the child into self-engaging is the need of the hour.
