‘Adulting’- something that engages in adult-like
behaviour. But are we successfully raising our child in the manner we should
be? The education begins the very moment we enter the mother’s womb. It is
believed that as soon as a child, step into the real world he will learn the
other vital life lessons.
But that is not true. He may feel cruel or hopeless
that he was not taught to cope with the things in the right manner. Most of the
Indian schools are concerned with a student’s academic performance only.
Here are some teachings that if we were taught in the
school would have made our life much easier as we grew up:
TRAVELLING ETIQUETTE AND PROPER USAGE OF PUBLIC UTILITY SPACES
It is a pain if you are travelling with a troublemaker.
Basic manners like offering a seat to the one who needs, allowing people to exit
before entering should be taught in schools.
PROCESS OF
OPENING BANK ACCOUNTS AND TRANSFERRING MONEY
Majority of the students can’t open a bank account on
their own. Students find this simple process very difficult. This is why every
student goes through the feeling of embarrassment. The school should be
teaching all the basic process regarding the same.
TO DEAL WITH
THE FAILURES POSITIVELY
Winning and losing go hand in hand. If someone is
winning he may lose someday and vice-versa. But that doesn’t stop there. One has
to deal with the situation positively. Every child should be taught in a manner
that he knows how to deal the failures of life in a positive way.
SEX
EDUCATION
Yes, this is one basic education one should have
before ending the high school. All the students learn inevitably about all
these from the wrong sources. It is very important to hold discussions about
all these in schools and in homes also.
IMPORTANCE
OF RELATIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS
It is very important to how to maintain a bond with others. By teaching how to be nice with others, we can inculcate good habits in a child.
Only academic
performance is not all that matters, teaching these basic things is the need of
the hour nowadays.
