The
Concluding Part
I enjoyed my childhood thoroughly. My
childhood has been the foundation of my whole life. My parents have been the best
parents. Whatever good things I could imbibe in myself that has been due to
them ! All shortcomings have been the result of my own doing.
I would like to add something about a
very taboo subject in our society- Sex. We don’t talk to our children about sex
as we think that it is not a subject meant for children. Unfortunately the flip
side is that our society is pervert. The grown up elders use children for their
sexual satisfaction. Such exploiters are from the people around.They could be our staff or even relatives. I as a child
had faced few such overtures. Mainly from servants, drivers etc.! Though I could sense that something was wrong
in that, yet I could never muster the courage to tell about that to my parents. I could name anyone at that time . Children can be silenced easily either by bribe or by threat. And
nowadays even by murder!
Another area of sexual experience for
children is among their own age group- friends, cousins etc. This is a result
of the changes in teenager children when they grow towards adulthood. This is
natural and innocent but need to be guided by parents so that they realize the
adverse after effects of crossing the limits.
Please open up to your children. Talk to
them about such issues. Give them a passage to share such things if happening
in their lives.
