Let the child enjoy the CHILDHOOD

Let the child enjoy the CHILDHOOD , indian abacus



In a recently published article on Childhood facing crisis, the author of the column tried to analyse the problems that led to childhood quality getting worsened in the last few decades. The author says the innocence of childhood is poisoned by junk food, competitive schooling & excessive dependence on electronic equipment; add to it too easy lifestyle. A major percentage of children does not have the opportunity even to walk to school or for any other chores. In the name of ease and comfort, the child is denied the opportunity to use his potential — physical and mental. While pre-war years of the 20th century witnessed poorly nourished children due to low family incomes, the current situation supersedes by another type of malnutrition — eating of unhealthy food.

The author at the end suggests three ways to turn the table to olden days- "Consider whether it is really necessary to live life at top speed? Taking less puritanical view of idleness & extend the school-joining age of children!' Probably we can extend the Childhood to a required time period so that the man —the adult extends his mental age to that of yester-century when the man lived physically and mentally to his potential. Serious thought if, not given to this subject, we can see a large number of people with physically Ilict low age but mentally incomparably of higher age. Are we going to head towards this?
