Tender mind of a child

A few months back three- four students came to my office and asked me to guide them to do a project on corruption in India,Initially I was wondering that why children of age 13-14 years were taking this project and was it the right age for the them to get exposed to such a topic.Anyway we discussed and they modified the topic and did the project in which corruption was one the issues faced by our country in addition to many other important issues. I am not very sure whether I was right in convincing them to change the topic of their project. But recent media reports have proved that they are really exposed to certain evils in the society which affect them at a very early age.When they should be surrounded by positive happenings around them they read and watch one or the other episode of corruption(and other wrong happenings shown repeatedly) which affects their mind negatively.These  issues are discussed on news channels almost twenty four hours. I do not know what they will learn from it because  visuals do make deep impact on tender mind which impacts their thinking process and makes them feel as everyone and everything is bad and wrong in the country.
We as parents and teachers are responsible for providing them positive environment but other factors can not be ignored.I do not know when will it be possible in our country that good and positive things will also get prominent mention and let our our children and citizens be aware that this country is proud of the people doing so much good for their country and that is why it is heading to become super power which is accepted by other countries also. Let us all try to inform our children that this is great country and has potential to do better for the welfare of the world.
This will surely help imbibe positive thoughts which will allow them to grow and become proud citizen of India.
Jai Hind
