The impact of pampering in school going children.

We must have seen around us from neighbours/friends/relatives of pampering their wards when they are in school studies. Few to mention, people will go to school with hot lunches and I witnessed today morning that one of the boy's school is hardly two minutes to reach from home but they have pampered in such that parent is dropping in scooter and I can understand the parent accompanying as it involves road crossing but dropping in scooter for a two minutes walk is something too much pampering.

And we are seeing too many issues later while going to college with home sick, getting stressed/depressed in college hostels and suddenly parents expecting too much sometimes lead to fatal even.

What do you say?

It may be either pampering the kid or maybe the laziness of the parent. These days we see many people using vehicles to go to even a kirana shop which is just 2 minutes away from the house.
Pampering is not good for properly bringing up the child. They should know the ground realities. Then only they will become responsible. Sometimes giving a pat on the back to a student for his/ her achievements is good but we need to always pamper the student by saying that he/she is the best. These days many parents are mainly single-child parents only. So they always try to pamper their children and that will harm the mindset of the student.

I am slightly different in my view from the author. Dropping and picking up the children from school is not at all pampering. If there is no person in the house, the children are arranged with an auto. But in major cases, it is because of fear while crossing the road and avoiding vehicular accidents. For children, a mere cycle hit is enough. Further, in some cases, the parents are jovially talking with them about the happenings in the class.

The author induced me to write here through the word pampering as I got a similar hit in my house. As I was doing my office work from home, I used to drop and pick up my brother's daughter at her school. This created a problem in the house as I was said to be pampering her. Later I stopped that but both her father and mother had no time to care for her. The child lost my association too and totally got neglected.

Parents have got too much concerned for the children and they do a lot of things for them which appear as pampering to us. I think that it is a normal human nature that parents take so much care of their children.

Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

Sometimes we see that some parents are indulged in the pampering of their children always to motivate them but as we all know excess of anything is bad. The kids ultimately become habituated for such pampering and they would take no more interest for any activities including their studies unless they are pampered.
After all, we are the well wishers of our children and they should be told that pampering is not the right way for motivation. Rather they should understand the situation and should act accordingly. They will ultimately realise their own responsibilities and would carry out tasks according to the situations. In fact, they are the true followers of their parents and they pick up many habits of their parents while carrying out most of the tasks. If the parents are wise, they would make them understand how pampering can be detrimental to their progress in their lives.
