Are today's kids growing up too fast? - Voice your Views

Fast paced lifestyle


Parents send their young ones to play schools even before they complete two years, as mothers have to got to work.

There ends the baby’s peace. And, at an age when they should just relax and charm others with their innocence, their learning process. Children learn computers even before they learn how to eat with a spoon. Parents buy them fancy gadgets. Kids refrain from playing outside and are glued to these games.

At this rate, never will they know the joys of playing outdoor games or learn to accept defeat gracefully or develop the spirit of sportsmanship.

Also, parents, due to lack of time, allow them to eat fast food, which is rich in calories. So, kids are forced to grow fast and miss out on a lot of things that we enjoyed during our childhood.
