Children Faces Problems too

By Adeena Adnan
“Excellent job” said the teacher, “Emaan has scored highest marks in exams again, and Ahmed! You have failed again. Ask your parents to come to school tomorrow.” I was sitting right behind them witnessing this scenario. Tear role down from Ahmed’s eye and fell on his cheek, he was whispering to himself, “My parents won’t leave me” I thought, why is everyone suffering from same problem? Why are they worried about their grades? Or in simple words are they scared from their parents or feeling ashamed to face their relatives?

Mostly in our society parents want good grades from their children, they are not concerned about what their children wants, they care less about the mental and physical torture their children are going through. They are least bothered about their children’s happiness. They don’t teach their children about etiquette and only tell them to perform well in school.

But if you see on the other side, a well-mannered person is respected more than a person who has remained a topper throughout his life but doesn’t respect elders.
As well as Islam says:  “Your manners are your beauty”
Every parent’s first priority should be to teach their children about right and wrong and teach them how to behave and ask what they want. But mostly parents keep scolding their kids for not scoring the highest marks.

But they don’t understand that every child is not having the same capability. Children have their own unique talents and capabilities. Parents should not pressurize their children but should start understanding them more and more for a better relationship and for better physical and mental upbringing of children.

“Good Manners will open doors that the best education can't"
