Great Parents concerns

An anxious request of a great parent to the teacher while enrolling his/ her son/ daughter in school.

Dear Teacher,

1- Kindly don't make my son/ daughter crazy about marks.

2- Please don't tell that "You have come to get a higher rank".

3- Tell them that no matter what kind of work it is, it is best to do it honestly, happily, proudly and faithfully.

4- Make him/her crazy about good books, don't give him/her the illusion that only school books are our limit.

5- Instead of making him/her afraid, let him happily get accustomed to discipline.

6- Teach them to live, teach them to be calm instead of running away from difficulties, dance when happiness arrives, teach him to smile even in pain.

7-Seed of caste system is never planted in him/her mind.

8- Tell them about getting lost in nature if possible, soaking in the pouring rain, enjoying the beauty of butterflies, counting flying birds, following ants walking in a row, waiting for seeds to germinate, and instilling curiosity in preserving nature.

9- Make his/her mind to plant trees. Instead of cheating and winning in life, learn to lose honestly.

10- teach them how to achieve with honesty than to gain by doing injustice, to gain by hurting someone is not a justice for your soul.

11- Tell them that life is very beautiful when our surroundings is filled with positivity.

12- Let him/her know that there is joy in every moment.

13- Teach them the character of respecting women, looking at the poor, weak, and old, and making them feel like rushing to help those in trouble and pain.

14- It doesn't matter if you fail, teach him/her to work and live happily in life.

15- I want to see him/her live as a good man rather than a doctor, engineer, high official. I owe it to you to inculcate such qualities in him/ her.
