Child development: A big step towards nation building

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru rightly said that, "The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country". What made him say so? His trust in the creative young minds. He trusted the creative aspect of our next generation. On this children’s day, we need to make sure that we are giving equal opportunities to our children irrespective of their gender. We are the strongest country of the world in reference with our creativity and skills.

What are the things that we need to take care of? There are many aspects of the child’s personality. Child is like mud, we need to shape him or her in order to make the beautiful masterpiece out of that mud. As a parent we need to understand that child development is the primary yet the most important step towards developing our nation. Child development doesn’t only affect the child’s personality and his future positively but it also affects the future of the nation.

Following are a few things which we need to practice with our children in order to make our country a better place to live for them:

• We need to inculcate the sense of responsibility in our child towards our nation.
•  We need to reflect the same responsible behavior through our personality for them to learn easily.
•  Taking small steps like keeping our country clean, providing basic facilities to each and everyone can make a big difference.
•  We need to respect the skills and abilities of every individual. It contributes a lot in the development of our country.
•  We need to inculcate nationalism in them in order to make them believe in the strength of our country and the strength which lies in our diversity.
• We need to respect the innovative ideas that they possess and need to boost them to have the same passion for innovation throughout their life.
• We need to have strong educational base in order to keep every individual at the same level.
• We need to teach our children that creating better India is our responsibility and it needs to be from our end when it comes to developing our own country.
• What we do today will define our tomorrow. Make our new generation believe in it.
