The other aspect that is depicted in the movie is the approach of parents towards their own kids. Well, world is competitive and every parent wants his/her child to be the best. This attitude is not wrong. But at the same time there is something called the interest of the kid. There is no point in forcing the Kid to move in the line which he/she is never interested in. In the end it results in frustration alone for both of them. Instead give a chance and find out the preference of your child and see if he can excel in the same. While talking about this topic, I intend to talk about my Maternal aunty ( My Mom's Sis) who is simply superb in handling children. She loves kids and gets down to their level and does things for them. Unfortunately, she has a son with Autism. I am amazed at the way she takes care of him. The boy is damn intellectual, has got an unbeatable memory power, got brilliant singing ability and very recently he has acquired the skill of playing keyboard. He reads News paper day in and day out and keeps himself updated on various things and the other thing that I am wonderstuck about him is the way he browses and gets out all the information he wants from Google with out depending on any one. My aunty literally tries hard to find out what best can be done to make him normal. There is only a minor thing that is lacking in him and God knows what that can be. This hurts a bit as he is that capable. One fine day, I am sure he will come out in flying colours, ofcourse with the help of his Mom. She even supported her family financially and encouraged her younger son to pursue his studies and choose his career path on his own. Now he is doing brilliantly well and he is too good at painting also. There are no words to express my appreciation for my aunty. I sincerely feel this is parenting. Choosing a line that would interest a child suffering from autism is not easy. I am proud of my aunty coz none other than her could have done this. Bringing up a normal child and make him achieve success is pretty easy where as raising up a child like my cousin is a challenge. Hats off to her.
There is an awesome dialouge delivered by Aamir Khan in the movie mentioned above and this is how it goes. Parents pull the hands of their children to the extent where in even if the hand is broken, it goes unnoticed only due to the urge of making the kid achieve what is expected of him from his parents. Please parents give it a serious thought. I am not writing this blog just for the sake of writing. I have come across many parents who pressurize their children either by shouting at them or banging them left and right which will definitely bring down the confidence level of the kids and make them feel insecure. This will surely take them no where. Are parents there only for this? Even the co-curricular activity should be chosen as per the will of the parents. I don't see any justice in this.
My sincere request to parents with more than one child is that don't favourtise. This will hurt them to the core and make them feel inferior. If the children are treated as friends, dealing with them becomes easier. Try doing this parents and see the difference. Thanks for reading my blog with patience.
