Every Child Is Unique \u2013 Picture Prompt #BlogALeague <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Don’t ask him to live in your world, visit his world instead”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My child is unique, different and the best, thinks every\nmother. Soon the society begins to give names to these children. They begin\nfirst by categorizing them through their looks. Soon they are categorized by\ntheir built, later on by their religion and career choices and so on and so\nforth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When I looked at this picture the first thought that popped\nup into my head was, that how wonderfully these kids are climbing the walls of\na building. They are all of different shapes and sizes but the fear of falling,\nbeing unsuccessful doesn\u2019t worry them at all. They are simply out there to have\nfun and may be even, are having a small competition to see who wins. They are not even worried if the building is\nrusted or if the walls have cobwebs. This only re-iterates the fact that\nchildren are innocent and have an untainted view of the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What if these kids\nwere not climbing walls but were instead finding a place to hide.<\/strong> They are\ntrying to stay out of the way from the judgmental views that the society has about\nthem. They are trying to steer clear from the many eyes that are constantly\nwatching them. The pillars and the walls of the building are source of escape\nfor them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As parents we seldom\nbury our heads in sand over issues that could be trivial for our kids.<\/strong> We\nhave preset guidelines on how our kids should behave and what they should\nachieve. We read, we write, we share often about various ways of parenting but\nwe rarely discuss the various ways of childhood. Ways in which kids were\nallowed to explore many prospects of being a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We expect our children to be scatheless and confident all at\nonce. Did you know that without failure\nsuccess has no meaning? Did you know that without injuries there is no healing process?\nDid you know that something would become clean only after it has gotten dirty?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A small poem that sums up my thoughts about how kids should\nbe allowed to experience unfiltered babyhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I bought you into the world and made you mine.<\/em><\/p> Soon we began running a race against time.<\/em><\/p> I noted down every moment, every milestone you achieved,<\/em><\/p> In every decision of mine, in me you believed.<\/em><\/p> Soon I looked at the outside world and yearned for more<\/em><\/p> The heap of expectations rose and so did our daily chores<\/em><\/p> You sometimes resisted and I sometimes detested!<\/em><\/p> Our opinions on certain days seemed be in some sort of a war<\/em><\/p> Drifting apart wasn\u2019t a choice, because you were still my shiniest star<\/em><\/p> We talked and discussed about our journey and roles<\/em><\/p> We played with sand and took tiny strolls<\/em><\/p> Built little castles again and wished on shooting stars<\/em><\/p> Laughed at our mistakes and cheered in loud voices again<\/em><\/p> Motherhood and babyhood were each other\u2019s Zen<\/em><\/p> You will always stay the boy I love a little more<\/em><\/p> Because it is my heart, that your tiny hands stole!!<\/em><\/p>– Sabiha <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n This post is written for #BlogALeague with <\/em> Ruchi<\/a>, Dipika<\/a>, Charu<\/a> and Preetjyot<\/a>. <\/em> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every Child Is Unique \u2013 Picture Prompt #BlogALeague “Don’t ask him to live in your world, visit his world instead”.
