Why don't we allow children to just be, children?
While some children are so happy going around with their parents to some exotic and cool destination for a holiday, many , or even most children, do not have such a luxury. They instead go to all the "summer" camps. In the name of personality development, a new crop of self-styled trainers often offer neatly packaged "offers" and even urban parents lap it up. The poor child is forced into such "camps".Those children who do not have any taste for dance or music, are forced to attend some class or the other. They are often forced to do so by their parents or grandparents. Worse, a new breed of teachers play ball and literally push children, as young as six years, into such classes.
It is high time that we allow our children, to be, just children. The child needs to explore his or her own world at any point in time. A child who is just six years old, cannot decide what to do. Instead, the child should be allowed to explore the world around him or her, and then do it. The child should never be forced to do anything. We need a lot more understanding of children, than as of now.
Let us allow children, to be just children.
