Am I Responsible?

As the financial year has come to an end, our plans for further savings have started taking shape. Looking at the pace at which the world is moving today, we have to invest a lot in our children! To enable our children to think in a right direction will be the true asset.

“He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future!” - Adolf Hitler.

We are living in a world where children are assisting us in using the latest technology. Use of tablets and mobiles is at their fingertips and with Google’s camera they can travel miles with a smile. Our children are going to be the citizens of a globe which is shrinking day by day! Naturally, with such an expanding network, their reach is going to be much further than ours! Yet, we, adults, play an important role in deciding the direction of this leap! Today’s children are young adults and they can be our strength; it all depends on how we hold their hand and make them aware of their own goals.

Meaningful and open communication with children will help reduce the gap in thinking between adults and children. Such communication helps in building healthy relations and enhances reliability. We have a great potential in our children, and we must take a step further to mould our own ideas and beliefs so as to direct their talent toward good ends. We need to take onus for our own behavior instead of blaming others so that children can comprehend this alignment of our views and actions. The world of children is innocent and they are getting messages from us. The more accountable we are in making small changes in how we conduct ourselves, the more our children will learn to be responsible for themselves, may it be about expressing their feelings, following social etiquette and mannerism, respecting others’ views, conserving resources, avoiding corruption, paying taxes or even taking a positive lead in politics…!!

The foundation of a promising world is emerging through our children. Let’s nurture it responsibly to make a beautiful tomorrow!!
