Is your child stressed?

Parents across the world were shocked by news that a four year child was put on happy pills. She was depressed that she had’nt secured admission in the same nursery as her friends. This alarming phenomenon could soon hit home turf, with kids as young as five and six already seeking psychiatic help.

When parents get tensed even before play school admissions, depressed if they’re kids don’t get good grades, push their kids into extra cirrucular activities way before their time….all this affects their young minds greatly.

At this age kids are like sponges. Everything you do, your attitude, thought processes… the child soaks in all of it. Increase in stress levels is due to the faulty attitude of the parents. Problem parents have problem kids.

Its time we stop confusing success with happiness. Comparison made with siblings is also responsible for low self esteem in youngsters.
Kids should be allowed to stay as kids as long as possible, because once they grow up, they will be adults forever. Exams can also be more stressful and competitive.
Its upto the parents to ensure that their kids do not get depressed or give up it they fail.
