Children:Leaders of tomorrow

Yesterday happens to be children's day and it was celebrated in grand style across all states. It's always a day to look forward to every year cos the people we are celebrating are our potential future leaders, they are our future with great powers lying within them.

Yesterday makes me remember the song we do render in nursery school that goes thus;

🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

Parents listen to your children,

We are the leaders of tomorrow,

Try to pay our school fees,

And gives us sound education.

The fact that they are children doesn't mean that don't have a say too, they also think and make decisions too, and they have their opinions which parents can buy to. One of the lyrics of the song says "Parents listen to your children", we should always listen to them cos they also pass through some hard times despite how small they are. We should hear them out, it's not every time that we should shun them cos it will make them feel bad.

Just like I read from @Mhizutty article, the title was they have feelings too, click this link to read if you haven't. She explained how children can be emotional too and she was right. They have feelings toward every situation that they experience too.

I went to buy rice for my mom one day from her customer, it was the husband that was selling the rice when their son came back from school and felt very bad that he was murmuring and told his dad that he doesn't want to go to the school he attends again. His dad asks him why and he said that students in his school do abuse him and make jest of him and for this, he doesn't want to go there again. His dad just replies to him by saying sorry and that was all.

In my mind, I was very angry with that reply cos I am very sure he won't do anything about it but the child was in pain for him to have said his mind. So when I was done buying the rice, I told the dad to please make sure he followed his child to school and report to his teacher and make sure they warn those children to stop that. I begged him to please do it and he said he will so I left.

I have heard so many stories of children being bullied and because of this, they decide not to go to school again since their parents couldn't listen to them to correct it. If their parent has listened to them, they wouldn't have dropped out of school. Children don't like it when they are bullied, it makes them emotionally down and doesn't concentrate any longer on anything they want to do. Parents, please try to listen to your children.

The best thing we can give to our children in this computer world is education and that's why one of the lyrics of the song says "And give us sound education". Education should be their inheritance if at all you don't have any property to give to them when you are no longer alive. Let your children be educated, they will surely remember you forever for the great thing you have done for them by educating them. Education is a great weapon in their hand, they won't only protect themselves after getting it but they will also protect you.

Give them quality education and make sure they concentrate on it. Don't just pay their school fees and leave them alone, follow every of their learning processes up, help them to grow and teach them when you can. You are their first teacher, their school teacher is there to assist you too.

All we do to our children now are what makes them who they will be tomorrow. So we should train them in a good way, you should teach them positively so when they grow up with it, they won't depart from it. They are our future leaders, they are our tomorrow, and our future relies on them so if we don't train them well, it means we have spoiled our future with our bare hands.

I will round it up here by greeting all the children all over the world again that HAPPY CHILDREN DAY TO YOU ALL. It's better later than never, so they should accept it from me.

Thanks for reading, I really appreciate your effort in doing that.

Bye for now 🥰🥰🥰.
