And now the research begins. I could just retract some few years back when I visited dozens of
play school, just to be convinced that my little daughter is with right
hands.
I could
vividly remember the first day when I was so unsure whether my little one would
be taken care properly, standing outside the whole 1 hr. in case, she needed me.
And now
here I am looking out for best colleges out there! Again, now worried that she
must be with the right peers!
Yes, you
heard me right! Right peers! But why am I worried about right peers? After all, these kids are the same age, but why am I worried? I could hardly remember
my parents reverberating any of these. Why am I? I am supposed to be in one of the
more technologically advanced world than my parents, where everything is available
in a click of a button.
Have we got so absorbed in technology that we forgot to cement out relationships with our little ones?
As I walked into the enormous campus of the university, I just remembered the unlimited exposure and the freedom with which it is going to be prescribed.
And now, why has this generation become so vulnerable? is that unrestricted access to technology? Has the technology become a bane? Could we just say and move away blaming on
the generation? As parents, we do have a role to play.
Yes, but this
role has to be played collectively. It could just be a fire next door now, but soon it will have an effect in ours as well. We cannot attribute everything to the next generation and go away.
It’s time
that we all act with definite social responsibilities. It’s time that we befriend
our young adults and guide them without expecting anything in
return. Lets try and control our sphere of influence and leave the rest, for the
universe to take care.
Dedicated
to all anxious parents who are worried about their sphere of influence.
