Dealing with tough times is a lesson many of us fail to impart to our children as we are always focussed on success and good times. I remember my late grandmother used to always advise us to keep trying and never give up on any challenge we may be facing. I had shifted to a Tamil school from an English medium one in class VII and found it very difficult to write my exams in Tamil as the script was alien to me till then. At that time, she became my impromptu teacher and guide, and made me read aloud all the Tamil magazines at home to her. Her advice "Jamuna, if you want to prove yourself, forget about being the best, but just do your best," was her mantra in all areas of life. And yes, this is what has made me face the journey of life in all situations, facing a challenge as just a challenge and not something that cannot be faced or overcome.
Learn through life's challenges
All of us are bound to face challenges in the journey of our lives. This is what makes us stronger. As parents, we need to guide and encourage our children too, so that they are not afraid to face any adverse situations that come their way. At the same time, they need the support and right guidance from their parents. As parents, we need to make sure that we monitor our children so that they do not take any unwanted risks they cannot handle.
We must know that making children physically fit and strong is not enough. Making them mentally stron is equally important. More specifically, making them strong enough so that they can thrive alone in this world. The fact is that those kids who face challenges become more independent and self-reliant.
