“Children in Family”!

Recently I was out to one of the most cosmopolitan city of the world. I had good chances of meeting and spending quality time with many youngsters, young adults, parents, children and families. It was very interesting and enriching experience. The youngsters were full of life, ready to face challenges. They had dreams and courage to walk on the hard path to pursue it. Some children were lucky enough to have parents and friends support. Some were struggling on all fronts. Some children were troubled as they were not able to get anywhere with family, they were not able to convince them now they were able to give up their views and accept parents plan Communication Out of such many situations one thing I noticed was that where there were good discussions with open mind there was comfort and less drama and healthy heartaches. The children and parents were able to sit and discuss the careers and life style, thoughts were able to meet halfway. It is so strange that few things which we can say or share with strangers, we are hesitant to share with the family. We are afraid of them to be judgemental. Yes, they are up to certain extent but they are the ones who are involved not the strangers. Passion There was this girl from some very small town or village who has come to fulfill her passion of riding bikes. She had many obstacles, family background and financial and social situation. Her love for her passion to be bike rider was more than her problems. She was working, staying as 3.*, spending all her free time in learning and reading about bikes. Opportunity Today’s education has ample scope of selecting and making your career. Courses are available for variety of subjects and they are helping in deciding your future career. 3arent’s role The houses where parents are part of their children’s education, career they are discussing and supporting them in any way they can so they are able to focus better. One does not have to be rich or highly educated to understand their children. It is the inner understanding and foresightedness which helps to understand another individual. My meeting with parents and youth of different social status and culture and family backgrounds will be in coming issues. Info: Asma Shums <asmashums@gmail.com
