Did the title of the blog feel absurd? Think of your life incidence where you actually learned to ride a bicycle on the busy streets of Mumbai without any training wheels. You fell many times, skinned your knees, cut your lip and hurt your ego. But you kept getting up again and again and eventually became comfortable with pedaling. It was an unforgettable experience for you—and similarly don’t you think it’s important that children today have similar life lessons both at home and in school. We live in a culture that is focused on the success of our children: admission to the "right" schools, the best college, sports teams, and countless other extracurricular activities. All parents want their children to be successful. What we forget or do not know is, ‘failure’ is also an important part of life that helps children to do trial and error and become confident in future endeavors of life. It turns out that letting kids fail, and fail big, is the best way for them to learn. It...

- Have we failed in bringing up our ‘modern’ kids?  Have we ever wondered; Why is it that the youngsters of the so called modern world behave the way they are behaving now a days? Have we given them too much freedom to express? Have we failed to discipline and give them the right values? *Is it right to treat children as friends?* Think of it this way, they have lots of friends. But they have only one set of parents. If they don’t do ‘parenting’, who will? Today the *‘self-esteem’* of even a new born or an infant is being talked about; but what about the self-esteem of the parents? Are they supposed to just fan the egos of their children, while the children don’t care two hoots about theirs?

-   'One complete academic year has elapsed in this manner, with almost no or little curricular learning in the current class. But this is only one kind of loss of learning. Equally alarming is the widespread phenomenon of ‘forgetting’ by students of learning from the previous class – this is regression in their curricular learning'.  'This study, undertaken in January 2021, reveals the extent and nature of the ‘forgetting/ regression’ kind of learning loss (i.e. what was learnt earlier but has now been lost)  among children in public schools across primary classes because of school closure  during the COVID-19 pandemic'. Key findings: - 92% of children on an average have lost at least one specific language ability from  the previous year across all classes. - 82% of children on an average have lost at least one specific mathematical ability  from the previous year across all classes.
