Adolescence is that age where you're no longer a child, but you're still not an adult. So essentially you're moldable, you are full of life, full of intelligence, full of curiosity, and you're also full of anxiety about the future. It all depends on the people who are molding this clay to understand this that adolesence is also about a lot of confusion. Any adolescent is what we label as from 11 to maybe 19. This is the time when these children are growing up they're trying to find their own identity they're also trying to find out their way forward they're trying to understand of themselves they're trying to understand the texture of life and they're also having ambitions they have their dreams they also have the dreams of their parents or the people around them and they want to live up to that. During all of this the one thing which gets sometimes left out is life skills even if you earn money you still need food to eat and if that food is going to be ordered then you're going to be visiting doctors more often than not because food which is cooked for 50 people and food which is cooked for five people is going to be very very different in its content. Second thing I would say is even money, banking the fact of how do you look after a household, how do you look after your personal hygiene. I have seen even children not knowing how to iron their clothes. I've met parents or I've met children whove told me that you know looked after. So the only thing that you have to do is just sit and study and get the best grades in school. And the child does exactly that when he first time goes to the hostel and the food is bad he does not know what to do about it cribs and cries and the parents are like they complain to the hostel management and they're very very disappointed they write all kinds of mails but they're not able to teach their child go out buy two bananas and eat it. It could be as simple as that I come from a lot of more from experience rather than technical knowledge here. Children who are sheltered they're looked after everything there is a car waiting outside for them to carry to the examination hall, they come back with air conditioned timings. Good that the parents are so endowed and they're doing so well for their children. I'm happy about that. But at the same time this child when one day the car punches on the road should have the equipment of pulling up his bag taking some money catching the bus to the center finishing exam and waiting for the car. And you know life is about the unsaid whatever is happening is so tight everybody has good means of transport and everything but how about end doing my child with come what may I am capable. I am dealing with a child right now he doesn't enjoy subject and. Every weekend the father is at the hospital why because he does not want to liveb with as something which is oh God I'm afraid but each time that that subject I think that subject happens on Tuesday. Every Sunday or every Saturday the father has to travel to the city and has to look after the child but that father when the child was making choices in the 10th or the 9th grade did not sit down with the child and allow him his space. So life skills are not just about eating in drinking money. Life skills should be about life itself that life is not predictable. How do you level a person who says he's very strong he's able to take the unpredictable. Please train your children into this please allow your children to work with you at home. Please allow your children to clean up their own rooms. Do not do their chores. It does not take more than 10 minutes in those 10 minutes he'll study and not tidy his room is going to be till you are around. Imagine the day you're not around what happens to them. Teach them to wash their clothes yes every hostel has a laundry. But every time there can be an electricity outrage and more than that you have all the comforts in life not a problem. But my child should be equipped that at every given point of life he stands tall and says I can manage. Those are life skills. Please do so consult.
