Addressing the mental stress of the students.

No School Please

How many of you are facing the challenge of sending your ward to school? Different kids embrace school differently depending on their family background, school environment, and the teacher’s mannerisms.

At a tender age of two or three, kids are too small. A little scolding, harsh tone adds to their difficulties of going to the school. Sending school to my younger daughter has always been an uphill struggle for me. Whenever there is a long weekend the trouble doubles.

We have tried every possible path in establishing a good rapport between her and the school. Starting from meeting with the teachers to counseling the child. It is a common problem every other parent is facing.

The sudden pressure of leaving their Cosy couch and getting stuck in a time-bound routine builds constraints in their little minds. We have to be loving, patient and serious in dealing with children if they are unwilling to go to school.

Children need our faith in them to allow them to be understood completely. They shouldn’t be left unattended, alone and feeling insecure in their early years of a schooling. No doubt children want our shield every single second but for a toddler and a primary school child, there is always an extra baggage of worries jumping out from their school bags.

Give them extra time and more hours than you have in your watch…

Anything for TRPs

Working kids

 

Amidst the growing talent hunt platforms of varied genre its easy to catch the road of choice. In India currently, different shows using the kids and teens to get higher TRPs are enjoyed by a huge mass.

 

The youth and kids are captivated by the limelight and glamour of the media. Television Rating Point (TRP) is all about scoring maximum viewers attendance on a show…But nowadays it is achieved at the cost of sacrificing our humanitarian and moral values. What is picturized is adapted by the viewers. To get an applaud the creators compromise the basic instincts.

 

I sometimes wonder that what these young kids are going through. And worried when I read stories, which tells that they are skipping schools and working 8-10Hrs for daily soaps. In some cases, their parents are responsible to force these kids to satisfy their failed dreams to become a star…

 

Lots of ads and serials are using or encashing cuteness of these little souls to sell their contents or products. One case is with a current running serial, and it’s a story about a small girl who is a talented singer, motherless and an innocent child caught in the circle of cunning, cruel and a hoggish world.

 

The serial has talented actors, but the focus of the story seems more about the pain/torture which an innocent child is inflicted upon by others. Enormous torture, offensive language, humiliating situations giving sobs to the little child daily…The tears and the sadness of kid character in that serial can make the viewers cry. In another serial which has been stopped now, showed a story around a young boy(9 years) married to an older girl of 18 years…But do you think is it OK?

 

There are a number of talent hunt programmes running on different channels calling for the dancing, singing, acting talents in kids…Their aim is to catch, grab and hold the audience. Encashing the innocence of the children to achieve their business goals which may ruin kids future.

 

Neither the parents nor the kids understand the harm of the shows. The glamour seizes the senses and everyone is lost in this business.

 

We all need to understand that where we are going and what we need to provide to our future generations…..it’s up to us…just THINK and Brainstorm…

Don’t worry if your child swallowed a coin

Don’t worry if your child has swallowed a coin….

This just happened to me, my eight year daughter was sitting with me studying for her exams. I saw a five rupee coin on the bed few minutes before but didn’t pick it up as I was asking her the lessons.
Suddenly she patted her back and said in a husky voice that coin went inside……..
Her papa came running, pulled her upside down tried everything he could but the coin slide down the gut. We went running to the hospital did x- ray and showed it to the doctor, who just relaxed us by saying “Don’t worry give rich fibrous food, plenty of water and bananas to the child.”

But friends it took 14 days to pass out of her body….
My experience says that if the coin has easily slides your esophagus or the food pipe then it will come out through excretion.

But if it goes into the wrong pipe then you need medical aid immediately…
My daughter is weak in eating and too much of banana she was unable to eat may be this was also the reason why the coin took so long to come out. Salads helps a lot in sweeping the intestines. So I gave her salads and, in a day or two the coin was out.

Doctor says that our small intestine is very long and the food takes time to travel through it. If it’s a coin, then to come out it may take one or two days, eight days and may be fifteen to twenty days but it will pass out…

Just give plenty of fibrous food, salads, fruits, warm water, bananas etc…..
And biggest don’t panic, body automatically cleans the unwanted stuff………..
