When parental overview comes under the scanner!
Recently a piece of news information that startled the human out of me was a 16 year old brutally killing a 7 year old for a reason still unfathomable, and later showing absolutely no remorse for his heinous actions!
Yes, I am referring to the Ryan International School , Gurugram scenario, wherein a child got brutally murdered in broad daylight and for months the investigating department officers had no clue as to how to approach further. But as they say, truth finds it’s way and so it did in this, when the two days back the entire nation woke up to the news of the real convict, who by virtue of his age, happens to be a minor but unlike so by virtue of his actions.
The case of young Pradyuman getting brutally murdered within school premises, makes us question the safety and security of our own children. The case being one of its kind did send a chill down our spines, leave alone make us brood over the death of an innocent life which was yet to bloom!
The case and it’s convict raises a lot of questions about the parental guidance that we give our children. The 16 year old boy showed absolute no signs of being alarmed or hassled, in fact
he maintained his calm well all through the proceedings. The verdict is still in process; and no mater what happens, can little Pradyuman be brought back to life? Can his parents lead a normal life? These are questions which are yet to be deciphered!
The concern that I voice is, where are we going wrong in the upbringing of our children, that they resort to such actions; why are more and more teenagers getting entangled in vicious mazes? Why are parents unaware of the mental health of their children? Why is the importance of mental well being a discussion that’s done in hushed tones still in India? Why aren’t children given amiable and conducive environment at home to pour their hearts out to their parents? Why do parents still draw parallels to their neighbor’s child with their own?
Unless we have answers to most of these questions, there would still be cases wherein innocence would be lost repeatedly and we would only cry over spilt milk!
Parents, rather than handing down expensive gifts to their children should be physically and emotionally supportive to them. They should allow their children to make mistakes but also to learn from them. Parents need to give their children, their time and their presence. They should encourage healthy discussions about topics that are the need of the hour rather than shoving it under wraps. Parents should inculcate the need for becoming responsible individuals rather than attain affluence.
Children are like clay, they take tha shape of what we adults wish to mould them into. Hence we adults/parents, should be extremely careful in charting out the right path for them. This path may not lead to riches, high grades, or even material possessions but this path should certainly need to take them to becoming great human beings!
