The story told in previous post suggests one thing. To each his own. It also tells us, not every kid needs to excel at academics in order to excel in life. All the kids are equipped to carve nice for themselves provided their aptitude is ascertained and guided properly. We humans are totally qualified enough to make a success of whatever profession we choose. Yes, the choosing aspect should be done carefully and it must be bereft of any parental or peer pressure.
It’s a normal sight to see parents placing extreme emphasis on academics. Elements like reading, writing and arithmetic are expected to be ingrained in the psyche of the kid. But not every kid is academic oriented. Someone is more inclined towards art or painting; someone is interested in dance and some other in sports. But, by putting emphasis on academics what parents manage to do is suffocating the talents of their wards. Yes, academics are essential but what is more important is finding the true interest of the child. Different children are cut out for different things.
If parents could just focus upon hobbies and pleasurable activities of the kids, we can have more successful and happy souls doing their jobs with maximum productivity. It is said that a child starts to develop a personality when he or she reaches the age of three. It’s also the time when pre-school period starts and child starts becoming socially adaptable. Child also starts to have his likes and dislikes in this phase that become stronger with the passage of time. This is the time when parents should focus upon child’s activities and his parents.
