Just a few minutes before I was talking to my daughter at Dubai . She informed me about a news of the sudden DEATH of a 8years. old child due to heart attack. The report, analyzing the causes of this very shocking episode, clarified that the child was deprived of his proper sleep may be due to early get up for schooling , whole day over burdening curricular activities with undue pressure of parents and teachers to complete the tasks given ,raised stress due to undue competition in the minds of parents and tutors , and lastly quite a less time for co-curricular and extra curricular activities. The spice is added by excessive use of mobile till late night. I won't wonder rather quite afraid if a pregnant mother adopt this absolutely unhealthy lifestyle may precipitate a still birth. After all where we are are leading our children just because we feel that if we have to see our children survive in the achievement orientated competitive society then he/she must be forced to struggle with these physical and mental tortures? No care for child's aptitude and passion!!! So pathetic !!!. By this way we the elders are proving ourselves as the cruelest criminals. I may be exaggerating as perplexed by the shocking news tempting me to write on this crucial issue. If we consider the law of probability then only around 15 percent children can cope with this stressful lifestyle. But the question is had not there been cases of extraordinary brilliant children earlier without going through such criminal tortures? The answer is 'yes', there had been always and always since the evolution of human race.
Now the time has come to reconsider the scenario by the educational , social , religious workers and the policy makers. Don't let a single child die of undue stress. Please..please..please
So TRAIN YOUR MIND to remain in positive orientation of enjoying your life-satisfaction by nurturing an pro- environment for yourself and children around you for their natural growth and development. 'Top' must not be the criterion but the 'level best' shall be.
Enjoy days always ahead in mindful sensitivity towards yourself and the children around.
