Mothers of today’s generation are
very active in every sphere of life, be it looking after her family, her child’s
well being, carrying out the daily chores with full proficiency along with
working into big multinationals. The mothers of our country are everywhere and
are hell making us proud. In this run race, one thing that many parents forget
is the pressure that they are sub consciously putting on their child. We all
agree to the fact that world today is full with the cut throat competition without
any doubts in our little heads.. and parents too are aware of this fact, but
they themselves become so handicapped when they see other children around
getting so smart day by day, thus thrusting all expectations on their child.
Now, the irony in today’s scenario
in our country is, there are mothers who are not well versed with the English speaking
and so do not converse with their children in the same, whereby, leading the
child to learn the mother’s language. Now, what happens in public is, these
children, all of a sudden are given orders and instructions in English (for
obeying their parents or may be, at times, get chided too in public. For example,
Rohan come here at once..!!, Eva.. behave
yourself..!!, Sakshi, I will give u a tight slap if you do this again, Eesha
listen to me in one go, etc etc etc ).
Now how on earth is the child expected to understand this language is the first
thing, and secondly, this sudden transformation in the attitude as soon they
step outside their homes actually confuses them as to how to react to their parents!!
It’s hilarious if you observe these things around you and have a look at the
child who becomes so bewildered at the sudden change in its parent’s language
and attitude..!!!
Happy Reading and Happy Observing.. ;) :P
