Padma Kumar: Children Want Their Individuality To Be Respected

It may feel like a great challenge for mothers when children enter their teens, but it’s only about understanding and handling them with care and love. Teenagers live in their own fantasy world. They think whatever they do is correct and they want to feel important. If they get appreciation they develop a positive approach towards life. Developing a rapport with teenagers is imperative to understanding them. Mothers need to spend quality time talking to them and value their decisions. No child becomes what he or she is by accident. The influence of parents, especially mothers, and other significant adults in a child’s life is of capital importance. Many a time parents hurt children because they too were hurt by somebody in their past. But they discipline  children with good intentions. Yet this damages the self-esteem of children who, when they become adults hurt their own children. As a mother it is very important to correct children effectively, constructively and respectfully. Praise is one way to show recognition. Assure the child that you accept him/her as they are. Respect the individuality of the child. Don’t pressure the child to come up to your expectations. You just need to say: “To fail is normal, Just don’t give up.We are there for you to hold you.” You will make a difference in their lives.

Yes we will be thinking to respect our individuality, but parent duty is to correct the mistake in us. Such that our wrong individuality will be corrected.

We need to try to understand our parents at times. But we always expect them to respect us too. We think we are capable of taking our own decisions but it is not true. I understand that sometimes we teens get really difficult to be handled. But we should also behave ourselves.

Winners don''t do different things, they do things differently. So, if you want to be a winner, then be the way you are. Don''t change yourself for the sake of the society.

Parents and children both must try to understand each other and look things from each others perspective ,then only they can form a healthy environment between them where they can share their stuff and a good relationship

Times Newspaper in Education (Times NIE) is a novel program that helps students ‘Stay Ahead’ and aims at making ‘Learning Fun’. It introduces concepts that help individual growth and development beyond school curriculum.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’. In 2013 we were again honoured by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN) as the ‘Times NIE - World’s Best Youth Engagement Program’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
