THE FEAR OF THE
PARENT...VILLE
Syrah is getting ready for college...suddenly she gets a message
on her cell phone..
-“hyeee syrah...was sup... tmrw we all are
catching up at CCD at 4...don’t say no..its finally a SUNDAY!!!”
Syrah without giving this offer a second thought...replied..
-“I wish I could...but my
dad will be home tomorrow...sorry...u guys enjoy...!”
What exactly
does this mean?? May be Syrah wants to spend her Sunday with her family..Or maybe
the scenario is much palpable...she is afraid of hearing a “No” from her
parents...
Why didn’t
she try asking once?? May be she knew
that convincing her parents was a vain effort...it would have rather ended up
in an inutile family drama...
Often we see
parents expressing their resentment regarding their children; however we fail
to notice those children who are still struggling to get out of that “Dayra’’..
Is it
incorrect for a girl to just hang around with her friends?? Why can’t they chat
for more than 10 minutes on his cell phone?? The worst is that they are not
even allowed to be on social sites...
Then isn’t
it a no brainer that these girls and boys will certainly use other options to enjoy
their share of freedom..
Why are such
things happening today...when it’s a liberal place to live in..
I have heard
my grand mom saying that-Milk boils faster when you put a lid on it..And if you lose your attention
even for a second it will surely
spill...
Parents must
understand that their child needs space. You have an opportunity to make it harder for your own
children to someday complain that you are nagging them a lot. Strict parents
steal their confidence, they don't let their child
to develop properly and find their inner self. They make it difficult for them
to be an adult who knows what he or she wants they are so scared to have an opinion
of their own.
I know a boy who is
addicted to smoking; when I asked him how he developed this habit, he simply blamed
his dad. He said that his dad used to pitilessly beat him even if he was found playing with
his friends. He was not allowed to watch or play cricket as his dad thought he
will miss on his studies. Because of such pressures he gradually started hating
school, his studies and got attracted to a lot of bad habits. He says if his
dad would not have been that strict in his childhood; he would have been at
least a step ahead then what he is today.
Prevention is always
better than cure. Before you see something like this happening to your child
start working on it in a correct manner. There is no smoke without fire and
understand this before it’s too late.
