Are We Fit To Be Parents ???



When I first saw this picture, the first thought that hit me was who has left this baby to sleep on top of the TV. Obviously who so ever has left him there, be it a negligent nanny or a baby sitter, or a drunk parent, the prime question pops,  is it not the responsibility of the parents to ensure the well-being of their offspring ???

Then comes a broader question. Do we really need any education for rearing our children ??? Biologically, off course not. Mother nature takes care of it.

But to raise a child with care and in an educative way, we seem to need guidance. Animals and birds also tend to their off-springs for some time before allowing them to fly away on their own. So, as a superior product of nature, it is our duty to ensure more care and show the correct path to the generations to come.

Do we need to know the child rearing tactics in a school or classroom ?
How to satisfy a child's inquisitiveness ?
If we can do all that, then and only then, we are fit to be a parent. Isn't it . . .
