Everyone in modern world is in a race. They race to achieve
fast success or to move a step ahead of the person standing next to him or her.
So, this modern world brings a fast forward life. Here, people don’t have time
to stand and stare at things around. Modern
kids hardly find time to rest and play. Since their childhood they’re brought
up like a machine.
Parents can hardly spare time for their kids. So, they go on
searching an alternative to compensate. They arrange a nanny at home to look
after the child and help in household needs. Then, a private tutor to help in
academics or else he or she is sent to coaching institutes. They believe school
education is not sufficient to achieve a successful career. Therefore, they
force them to attend coaching classes to get some extra marks at the cost of
little extra effort, money and time.
On the other hand a class of business minded people makes
profit out of this. Tuition classes of past are now turned into full furnished
coaching institutes. Tuition classes of old days are now full flanges coaching
institutes. They unlike old day’s tutors demand lump sum money. There is no coaching
center who would not guarantee success of children. And the poor parents! They are
trapped in the bait offered by the coaching institutes. But they fail to
realize their own children’s abilities and capabilities. They impose their
dreams on their children and make them work harder than ever. So, they simply
put them in the best coaching center available. This attitude of parents
encourages growing coaching culture of this generation. They think simply
attending regular schools isn't enough to be successful. Until he or she is put
into a coaching class he or she isn't going to perform well.
As a result children are busier than early days. Since
morning to late afternoon they attend school and after school they go to
coaching classes. Even then their work is not finished. Some over ambitious
parents force them to attend classes for co-curricular activities too. Besides they
have their homework to finish before starting for school next day. But time is
limited. So they barely find time to play. And struggle hard to balance time
among different activities.
Our work efficiency is directly proportional to our leisure.
Our brain needs rest to perform well. So, often children fail to perform well
in exam. But their parents when don’t get a satisfactory result after spending thousands
of money in their coaching instead of understanding their problems double their
work load and coaching classes.
But this work pressure may harm children’s delicate brain
and mind. They may undergo depression, insomnia or other psychological
disorders. So, as a conscious parent and teacher we should try to be friendly
and minimize their problems instead of enhancing it. We should try to comfort and
encourage them.
