WITH
the increasing
burden on children, the question that arises is :
Is your child capable of
coping up with stress?
Today’s generation has many stresses to cope up with.
It
not only includes constant petering by parents to excel in academics,
but also
peer pressure, social pressure, enhancing development skills, etc.
The
best way to find a solution to your child’s problems is to be your child’s best
friend.
Don’t rest the pressure of your dreams on his or her shoulders.
Let the
child choose his own way, be a constant guide and companion
so that in case he
falters you can put him on the right track.
The seeds that you sow shall
definitely blossom.
The growing number of suicide cases is a testimony to the
fact that teenagers often stumble,
but
because there was no one to support them
they became a victim of undue societal pressure.
