Parental Pressure

We all are very well aware of the fact that every individual has different choices, different opinions and perspectives.

But the sad part is that some parents don’t understand their child’s emotion and force them to do certain things which are disliked by their child.

If a child is not really good at academics but is good at sports and is being forced by his/her parents to score high may result in parental pressure.

I believe parents should practice authoritative parenting, listen to their child’s needs, understand their emotions and then guide them in the right way. They shouldn’t just inflict their decisions on the child.

Parental pressure causes more harm than the good. It may cause the child serious problems like stress, anxiety or depression.

Children are fighting a battle between, what they want and what their parents want them to do.

Also everyone has watched the movie 3 idiots-
I remember Virus had set a norm for sons to be engineers and daughters to be a doctor, but his son wanted to become a writer. If only he would’ve asked his child about his career and understand him, his son wouldn’t have taken the decision of suicide.

If parents don’t guide their child keeping his/her wishes in mind, and just ignoring them it can hurt the child’s sentiments.

If parents give birth to a child by choice, it is their duty to understand their child’s emotions too rather than pressurizing the child for doing everything according to their instructions.
