Child's Play!



Ok so it's not a child play to bring up a child!!!

Especially when you are also as stubborn as your child...things becomes unmanageable & it become whole issue of ego-fights!
Here I am trying to make sense with current educational system where they are expecting my 6yr old child to become an adult overnight by throwing in heavy english jargons to learn by heart..sigh! To top it I am expecting it very soon from my toddler to behave like a responsible adult who carries out all the task given at the school without me reminding her nth times to do it. Ok now I promise myself everyday to not to burden my poor child with daily dose of Gyaan to be responsible in her approach to studies...nor will I bring her out so soon from her happy childhood phase by burdening her with societal pressures. But it all goes fizzzz.... when she present me with her weekly CCE schedule where her performance in each subject will be assessed. Not only that She also has to be prepare herself to narrate story in class competitions, participate in sports & dribble ball for longest in basket ball to win....and do well too for my sake. To keep my sanity intact I'm heavily drowning myself in magazines & books like 'Parenting', 'How to Discipline With Love'...& if nothing else every visit to bookstore becomes traumatic for me with My hubby teasingly passing me books on parenting....@@#$#!
