We are what we are inculcated into....
Once a Guru and his sishyas were on their daily biksha route. In that route there was
a house where a lady usually gave them biksha, so they knocked at that door. After sometime
a five year old girl with mud on her hands opened the door. She said that her mother
had gone out and she did not know what to give. The Guru asked her what she was
doing and she replied, "I am making mud pies". He requested her to give him one of
those and accepted it in his bowl. The sishyas were upset and questioned the Guru
about accepting the mud pie. The Guru replied that he was just inculcating in her the
habit of giving; after all we are what we are inculcated into.
All parents want to see their kids succeed, but it is just as important to teach your
children how to fail. If there is a rise in the number of suicides in children these
days, it is because we as parents have not inculcated into our kids that it is OK to fail.
There is so much pressure on kids today to be the best and in this rat race we as
parents tend to miss out on the fact that children also need to know that failing will
happen sometimes and that it is totally ok. We’ve ended up teaching our kids to fear
failure – and, in doing so, we have blocked the surest path to their success. Out of
love and a desire to protect our child’s self-esteem, we swoop in and bulldoze every uncomfortable
bump and fish out every obstacle in their way. In the process we are depriving our
children of the most important lessons of childhood. Setbacks, mistakes and failures
are the very experiences that will teach them to be resourceful, persistent and innova-
tive.Failure teaches kids the skills they need like resilience which is crucial to be
successful adults,after all children are what they are inculcated into.
All of us sometime or the other have caved into our child’s plead for a candy or a toy,
despite wanting to say ‘No’. Parents are busier than ever before, and a lot of the time
we feel guilty that we aren't spending as much time with our kids as we would like to.
When we are with our kids, we want them to be happy and have positive feelings
about the time they spend with us, so we end up doing things they like, and we are
reluctant to say no to them. We often do not realise that kids need to hear ‘no’ in
some form. Hearing ‘no’ helps them develop emotionally, physically and mentally and it
helps them build the grit they need to get through life's ups and downs, after all
children are what they are inculcated into.
