Epidemic is ready to flare...
I'm realising day by day that now children are more intelligent, more alert but very very sensitive emotionally. They are not ready to accept any kind of insult, may be earlier considered to be trivial. I am finding extremely difficult to keep a balance between expectations of parents and child's behaviour for small illnesses...
Perhaps it is modern life and small families, expectations are very very high and children are under tremendous pressure. They react overwhelmingly to minor issues.
Earlier children had cough, headache or pain in abdomen a day before exams but now it's beginning few weeks earlier. There is so much fear of loss of parental expectation or fear of losing position, which repeatedly makes them sick.
It's high time, when we should ponder, why it is so??
