Children’s Day!!

Children’s Day is here again and children ready to celebrate their day with great fervor and felicity.14 November is birthday of the first Prime Minister of India, Pt Jawaharlal Nehru. His love for children made him Chacha Nehru and his birthday as “Children’s Day”.

“Children’s Day” reminds me of sweet memories of my childhood days. Children’s Day for me was all about celebrations, gifts and lots of fun. This is what Children aspect on their day a special treatment indeed. “Children’s are innocence and small gestures make them happy……..” well this was thing of past, today 21st century children are different. They are smart, witty, focused and ambitious. They are techno lovers. They are with the pace of the world. They are all-rounder.


In a research done by Dr Iti Tiwari, a sociologist, most of children want to do something different in their life, they love experimenting. They are more focused in their studies and love spending their life in doing interesting activities. They are full of new ideas and zeal to do something. Its good that children are with the pace of the world. They are technology freak they can handle most complex device. Even a child lock feature in television sets are better operated by children than their parents. Also such cleverness before time gives a pave to all sorts of nefarious activities.
 

So they are alarming question, Are our children loosing their innocence and not able to enjoy the ease of childhood??? If the answer is Yes it’s the time to act.


Children are always eager to learn and if they are molded in an efficient manner and proper surrounding they will turn into most responsible and intelligent youth of nation. Running fast so as to catch everything around you is not bad but its equally important to be alert and not stumble cause it will shatter everything you have gathered. Its responsibility of elders to provide such upbringing and environment to children that their innocence is not lost! Only then Children’s Day will have its relevance.
