Dear Parents! Congratulations if your child did well in the board exams. In case s/he did not fare well please be understanding. Keep the disappointment to yourself. Do not expressly pour it out on your son or daughter. BOARD EXAMS ARE IMPORTANT BUT THEY ARE NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE. Understand the mental ability and emotional capacity of your child. Do not compare your child’s result with his/er companions or friends/cousins. YOUR CHILD WAS NOT CREATED TO IMITATE OTHERS. Do not express comments of regrets such as "If only s/he had studied more" or "not wasted his time". Appreciate your child's efforts and sacrifices. Celebrate the result no matter which class s/he got. Make memories without hurting anyone. In case your child failed do not use harsh words. The child will remember every word till his/er last breath. Yes your Ego will be hurt. Your social standing may take a dip. Don’t hide behind closed doors. Be positive and courageous in case of failure and plan for the next opportunity to do well. THERE IS ALWAYS AN OPPORTUNITY IN EVERY TRAGEDY.
👉🏼One more important issue.
LET YOUR CHILD CHOOSE HIS/ER FURTHER STUDIES OR HIS/ER
CAREERS. DON'T BURDEN THEM WITH YOUR UNFULFILLED DREAMS. Your child is
unique. Your child's happiness is much more important than your social standing
or your reputation among your friends and cousins. Remember exams are important
in life but they are not everything. LIFE IS FULL OF
ADVENTURES AND OPPORTUNITIES EVEN TO THOSE WHO FAIL IN EXAMS. Unfortunately,
we cannot embrace the adventurous life in a school set up. All children do not
get same opportunities in schools or colleges. So, they need to break free to
be themselves. If freedom is given, they can be great musicians, sportsmen,
writers, mechanics, photographers, youtubers, environmentalists etc. Teach your
child to grab those opportunities and be adventurous. A modern student does not
need a school or college to financially flourish in this modern world. YOUR CHILD’S WORLD IS A NEW WORLD WITH NEW THINKING AND NEW
WAY OF DOING THINGS. Your world of beliefs and understanding about life
and business is dying out. There are many other avenues. Many old professions of
your time will cease to exist and new professions will come to birth. Modern generation
is fortunate.
So, my dear parents with
your old patterns of thought and belief system don’t try to impose and control
the exciting life and adventurous future of your children. All the best. Celebrate the result, be happy, be positive, keep smiling.
