Being an Urban dweller; we feel during
recent years life becomes very fast and rigid in many terms. Its adverse
effects are largely visible on kids!
Childhood looks similar to plasticity of
clay from which we can mould the child in our perspective. We don't give
freedom to our children to flourish and blooming like beautiful flowers. Their
innocence is lost somewhere in the race to achieve goals of their parents and
being on top in academic among their classmates. Competition is prevailing on
every path they choose to move ahead. This is shame!
The Time is really not very good for the
children and their childhood. We reached in 21st century with new
technology and ease of life but it looks children are living in a fake world of
video games, useless chatting on mobile phones and pressure of competition. They
spend hours indoors around their imaginative world.
Why parents do not inspire their children
to spend creative time outdoor? Many of our traditional outdoor games are lost
during past 20 years. Now I hardly saw urban children playing in garden or
being dirty in soil. With each day they are being apart from nature.
But during my field visit to country sides
I still feel the power of innocence and freedom in the eyes of rural children.
They are so very active and keep smiling in every situation. At that moment my
heart feel contented with inner pleasure and peace.

They climb trees tops, jumps here and there on soil, running on the grass and flying with birds and taking care of their
cattle and enjoying lovely time with nature and wildlife. They don't feel
stressful about competitive world out there.

Childhood is for Children. They have right
to live their childhood with innocence and freedom. Don't make it complex.
Don't infuse stress and worries in their life. It's a time for parents to think
and need to change the primary education system too. It looks unrealistic and
stressful on child's little heart and mind.

Let them help to learn everything at their
own pace and with peaceful and playful atmosphere. There should be no fear of
any kind in the mind of children.
Let them give a chance to be a child again
with full of freedom and innocence. Childhood is very precious time in
everyone's journey.
Let them bring closer an inch to nature and wildlife everyday to make them responsible person to protect our green
environment and natural world. It's our Lifeline.
We can't forget especially able children.
They need individual care and help to flourish. Sometimes they need extra time and love to learn everything. We need to be aware that they don't left behind
in their progress.
At the end, Childhood is the strong
foundation to make nice and kind human being. Today's world needs such
human beings that make our world a beautiful place to live...
