Every child gets born with a potential that is enough to make him or her succeed in life. Though the fact remains so, great many children fail to make the best out of their life.


• Look at the major causes and effects of this disparity.

Every child is born with a potential or two that is/are enough to make him or her succeed in life. Unfortunately, today, many children fail due to several pressures. Anyway, if there is will, children themselves can pursue their ways themselves and succeed.

Let find out those major cause. The first thing is parental pressure. Today, for many nuclear parents their children are pawns in their hands, and the former has the last say in everything children do. This is the case with affluent parents. Secondly, it is poor socio economic condition that makes many potential children fail. For example, an exceptionally talented child of a poor family has to sacrifice his/her talents because there may be many other pressing things in their life. There are many other causes. Social divides like digital, gender, rural-urban, to mention a few, are reasons enough too.

Needless to say, this dichotomy is bound to have very severe effects. Firstly, it leads to loss of talents. For example, a talented poor child, if not fostered well, will fail to contribute to humanity. Secondly, when potential children fail to fetch what they deserve in life, they get frustrated. This leads to social disharmony. Thirdly, human resource is the greatest of resources which, unfortunately, is a perishable resource unless appropriately made use of in time. Needless to say, failing children are actually failing national assets.

Looking at the causes and effects, it is right to conclude that the need for making every child do well is the need of the hour. This is extremely important both for children and for the nation. A failure in this direction may be a dual tragedy. That is what I feel.
