An Open Letter #Part 1

An Open Letter #Part 1

A routine discussion with an enlightened soul was going on. Suddenly, the conversation drifted towards rising behavioral issues amongst teenagers especially in high school. Lately, I have seen many teenagers coming up with these issues. Their mothers try to preach them idealistic things, benefits of studying, making a career, remaining focused and so on. Nothing seems to work as per parents.

Do take a moment and think – As a parent/mother or their well wisher, the words which come out of our mouth have traversed this path infinite number of times! So much so the essence has evaporated.  Repeated same action and yearning for a different outcome is a sign of less evolved soul.

One needs to get into the teenage mind and explore the challenges they are facing not only physically, but emotionally and psychologically too. Peer pressure and FOMO top the list. One needs to understand, the times in which we parents have grown up and the today’s times, have changed exponentially. If the age gap difference between your two children is more than five years, please bear in mind that the times of younger one are much different than times from the elder one.

So, the message is clear – One size does not fit all. Same, stereotypical advice will fall on deaf ears. My summation is with this open letter to all the children of Universe.

To analyze these changes, I am preparing a questionnaire along with the help of a reputed wise organization to help and understand teenagers and their parents. Please make your children read my open letter from my blogs.
