Less Care, More Attention

This is happening in almost every family and a hot topic often among the parents. "Did you attend the open day at school?, I have to meet the teacher tomorrow, Not received any progress message in WhatsApp, Have you called Ajit's mom? You must speak with your son after you reach home, don't sit with your laptop tonight.." 

Too focused on the ward's studies. Keep monitoring, keep enquiring with the teachers about their progress. Every test mark matters! Class test, Surprise test at tuition, Meeting teachers at school regularly, Whatsapp messaging with teachers..Oh my god! Too much of focus on their wards. Did the kids have the liberty to breath by their own? 
From leaving home to return home the kids are monitored and virtually supervised every moment. Let them be monitored as the parents are concern about their wards. But, what an extent? I don't mean here about the privacy as for the adults. I meant to say the "overfoci" (over focused) is distract/dilute the focused! That could be one of the reason for this younger generation lose their performance.

I just remember my childhood and the attention paid by the parents on their wards in the past. Of course, the parents had many children unlike now what we have. Though, the attention on their wards were very focused and seldom. The generation then developed by themselves in all aspects. Especially on studies, we were doing better than this generation. Prevalent of us done our studies good and co curricular activities also, We could count and say how many times our parents-teacher meeting happened. 

Let them (wards) be themselves. Let them be on their own identity. When we are being watched, we will not be our self. The personality can be developed only when you are allowed to be yourself.
