In order to
create noble-hearted and able-minded students, the school takes them through
various experiences. At every level, some activity or the other keeps happening
every other day. In the midst of all this, learning also happens in the
classrooms. Teachers take classes.
Every day goes like a breeze. The days on which students cooperate, the day goes beautifully. But there are days on which the unruly behavior of one child, or a few children, disrupts the flow and thereby the peace in the school environment.
Everything else comes to a standstill. The principal loses her vital productive time conducting an enquiry. Sometimes it goes beyond a day or two. Precious time is lost.
Students don’t realize that their mindless and impulsive behavior disrupts school work.
Violent behavior, mobile addiction, substance abuse, riding a powered two-wheeler or driving a car without license, being active on social media, hanging out with friends, getting into relationships of infatuation, have all become very common these days.
Some of them do not prioritize their character or behavior over all this. Studies also takes a back seat. They have a wrong concept of heroism.
Schools face several behavioural challenges when children are not monitored at home by parents. When the upbringing of children is not given importance, such children become a nuisance to the school and to the society at large, and an unwholesome influence on their fellow-students. Many other students are wrongly influenced by children whose parents don’t have time for parenting.
Many families are affected sometimes because of one child who has not been brought up well. So, parents need to understand that neglecting their child affects many others.
Parents should know what should be their priority. The emotional and mental well-being of children is as important as their physical well-being. Children are exposed to so many things, as they have a mobile with them.
Monitoring their activities, knowing who their friends are, inculcating values in them, providing a harmonious environment at home, sensitizing them to the feelings of others, having conversations with them, listening to them, can help them to grow into fine individuals, who are balanced.
As parents, we have a responsibility towards society. We need to ensure that our children are an asset to society and not a threat. How people see our children depends on the way we have groomed them. We owe it to our children.
The quality of life they will lead will depend on how much we have stood by them in their growing years and guided them.
Children need your attention; nurture them and nourish them with your love and care. Please stand up for your child. If not you, who else will?
