    Parents must become the best psychological support

    Going through the newspaper regularly usually leaves a sad and bothersome impact. Suicide cases by the students preparing for engineering and medical entrance exams are increasing. I have a question for the parents: what is more important- their child's career or life? Giving the best opportunity to their child is a dream of every parent, and in return, they expect their child to be successful in everything they do.

    The expectation is okay until their child is strong enough to bear the burden of preparation. It can take a terrible turn when the child fails to overcome the load of competitive examinations and the expectations of their family. Sending to a coaching centre in another city fails parents to understand the mental condition of their child. When the child is not fairing well, they require a healthy and loving atmosphere. On the contrary, staying in a competitive atmosphere takes a massive toll on their minds.

    Family must understand that in distress, a child needs the family's love and support the most. Putting them in a hostel breaks that road to observe and understand one's child. A family's expenditure for a child's career makes the child more vulnerable when they fail to perform well. Parents must think a lot before sending their child to a different city, especially when these coaching centres are all doing business of minting money. Thus, they are only interested in the candidate's result, while on the other hand, a family loses their child forever- God's greatest gift.

    We are really frightened to see the sad news of the frequent suicides of the students preparing for their medical & engineering tests residing in the hostels of Kota. Other than this destination, it is taking places in the other parts as well but not to that extent.
    The root cause behind such a tragic case needs to be investigated thoroughly so as to minimize such occurrences.
    The author is right that the parents must provide psychological support always is not possible if they are sent somewhere for their coaching .
    Parents can minimize such unfortunate cases encouraging them to take up their guidance from some prominent institutions living under their supervisions. There are a lot of candidates having shown up their brilliant performance in the final tests living along with their parents.

    We are hearing many suicide cases of students. We heard about some suicide instances of IIT students also. The pressure on students is increasing as the expectations of their parents are skyrocketing. Many of the parents of present-day society want their children to be on top always on all fronts. Both the parents work and earn money but never give sufficient time to their children. They feel that they are giving the best possible comforts and studies to them. But they never assess and see what are the capabilities of their children and to what extent they can stretch themselves.
    No two children are similar. Each one is unique. So parents should understand the capabilities of their children and see what maximum the child can do. They should understand the ground realities support their children and see that they will be not psychologically affected.
