Parents and Children!

I came across this article at DNA India. I really liked few parts of the article. The best ones are below:

• I hear moms talk about their four-year-olds’ participation in some rhymes contest. Parents here get pushy because their peers are pushy. Schools don’t pressurise, parents do.
• Parents should not solve children's problems for them — just be a sounding board. Most of the time, children know that their problems are unsolvable, don't react too much.
• Parental pressure is at its peak during exam season. It’s worse if both parents are working. They feel guilty too that they are not able to spend time with the children.
