obsession

I just want to share this experience when I saw my son's results on the notice board in school

all the parents were busy and excited to watch their wards' scores, and a lady who is quite known to me was commenting that , this boy doesn't deserve a A1 this girl is better off than this boy

my son was sick during half yearly that's why he lost on his consistency scores . I thought for a moment , it is better not to be aloud on our thinking on certain occasions , we can worry about why our child has lesser scores than criticising other children who have better scores , children by and large inherit our qualities and behaviour and I totally appreciate the fact that our behaviour cannot be ideal all the times but we can be a little modest while in public . The root cause for this behaviour is that the mom talked about is obsessed about her child topping the class and having better scores , all of us want the same to happen but we should definitely realise the child's potential , acceptance of others' success will help us to behave better and lessen the stress on our own children , academic excellence alone doesn't measure the intelligence of a person , there is much more than this , let the children be stress free , I only pray that the children should not take stress too much to become more jealous , they should realise that they should be competitive and not envious
