*Social media in child's life*

Social media has become an integral part of children's lives, shaping their social interactions, self-expression, and worldview. On the positive side, platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat offer spaces for creative expression, allowing kids to share their interests and connect with peers. Social media can also serve as an educational tool, providing access to diverse information and perspectives.

However, the pervasive influence of social media comes with challenges. Cyberbullying is a prevalent issue, with children facing online harassment that can negatively impact their mental well-being. Exposure to inappropriate content is another concern, as the digital landscape may not always be age-appropriate. Moreover, excessive screen time and constant connectivity can contribute to potential mental health issues like anxiety and depression.

Parents play a crucial role in navigating this digital landscape. Establishing open communication, setting age-appropriate guidelines, and fostering digital literacy are essential for ensuring children use social media responsibly. Striking a balance between the positive opportunities and potential risks is key to harnessing the benefits of social media while safeguarding children's well-being.

परीक्षा की घड़ी

आगे परीक्षा  की घड़ी आ रही है,

 दिल को मेरे घबरा रही है, 

बड़ी ही चिंता सता रही है ,

आगे परीक्षा की घड़ी आ रही है।।

देख कर परीक्षा की तारीखों को मुख से निकला है हाय राम 

बस पढ़ने की ही चिंता

 मन ही मन सता रही है 

ए भाई  आगे परीक्षा की घड़ी आ रही है।।

रिश्तेदारों से भी दूरी बना ली, अतिथि देवो भव की गरिमा ही मिटा ली

अंक कम ना हो जाए हमारे बच्चे के

 बस यही चिंता सता रही है।।

 ए भाई आगे परीक्षा की घड़ी आ रही है।।

Generation Gap

Generation Gap means different persons taking birth in different time periods.  Also, we can understand it as to how one generation varies from the other. Since the time is changing; human-beings have evolved and become more advanced and developed than the earlier ones. This is what has created the Generation Gap.For now,

Well, this gap is very natural to exist. But is it friendly or creating worries in the parent-child relationship today?  Unfortunately, it has been seen to have an adverse effect on the relations between the kids and their parents. The two generations have conflicts in opinions, ideologies, traditions, and customs.

While the former have traditional ways of thinking, the latter refuses to accept them. Thus, it is very important to bridge this gap to develop a strong bond of love and happiness in families. Only by bridging this gap, we can cherish the beautiful relations gifted by God to us.

Effect of Generation-Gap on The Relations..

As time has evolved, the youth have also developed modern ways of thinking and living. Many a time, these changes do not conform to the thinking, belief, and expectations of the parents. They want their children to follow their advice and guidelines

However, youth is full of energy and enthusiasm. They want to explore the world. They develop a judgemental attitude. Although, they are taught to believe in some things, yet they refuse. They are ready to accept anything only on the basis of apt rationale and logic behind it.The ideas differ and so the conflict arises. Parents feel that their children do not listen to them. Also, children feel that their parents don’t understand them. These factors cause strain in the parent-child relationship...

Value of Education

The education starts at a much younger age. Our first tryst with learning begins at home, and our first teachers are our parents, grandparents, and often siblings.The importance of education lies in its continuity, learning is a lifetime process that will stop with our death. It is the foundation for the development of a healthy individual and society. Our world cannot have a bright future if our culture lacks education.

Education is the key to change. It is an important tool that allows a person to understand his or her rights and responsibilities to his or her family, society, and nation. It improves a person’s ability to view the world and to fight against misdoings such as injustice, corruption, and violence, among other things.If we look at the demographics, India is one of the most populated countries. However, the rate of girl education is quite low in the country. It is quite troubling to see the figures in a country where women are given the status of goddesses. The figures have significantly improved to an extent but there’s still a long way to go.But if you educate a woman, you educate a nation. When girls are educated, their countries become stronger and more prosperous. The highest result of education is tolerance. One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.Education is strength, education is marality

Education is courage, education is beauty

Without education what the destiny of women

Who are preys inthe hand of men

Oh,lord May all the women have education

So as to escape from the dilapidation.

Power of Prayer

Prayer is a powerful tool in our daily life. It provides mental peace, guidance, and a sense of connection with the divine.For some people, it is actually like a ray of hope. It makes them feel as if someone of supreme power is present to help them.

Prayers can be of different types. You can pray in a church, temple or even at your own home. No matter where you pray, the ultimate aim of everyone is to talk to God about their sorrows and happiness.Prayer is the first and best response when your children need discipline.  Prayer teaches them that God knows their failure and has a plan to redeem. When a parent prays with their child and asks God for wisdom to know how to discipline, the child is much more likely to learn from that discipline. Your child will learn that they need to make their mistakes right with God and right with others.

Hence there is no harm in dedicating give mintues of our time in praying .In fact,It helps the student to start a new day on a positive note.

ਨੀ ਮੇਰੀਏ ਮਾਏ

ਛੋਟੇ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਰੋਂਦੇ ਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਨਾਲ ਚੁੱਪ ਕਰਾਉਣਾ

ਥਾਪੀ ਮਾਰ ਕੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਗੋਦੀ ਵਿਚ ਸੁਲਾਉਣਾ

ਪੁੱਤ ਦੀ ਹਰ ਜ਼ਿੱਦ ਨੂੰ ਪੁਗਾਉਣਾ,

ਰੁੱਸੇ ਹੋਏ ਨੂੰ ਅਪਣੇ ਮੋਹ ਨਾਲ ਪਤਿਆਉਣਾ 

ਆਪਣੇ ਪੁੱਤ ਦੀ ਹਰ ਜ਼ਰੂਰਤ ਨੂੰ ਅੱਗੇ ਲਿਆਉਣਾ

ਆਪਣਾ ਢਿੱਡ  ਕੱਟ ਕੇ ਪੁੱਤ ਨੂੰ ਖਿਲਾਉਣਾ

ਨੀ ਮਾਏ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਤੋਂ ਸੱਭ ਤੋਂ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾ ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਚਾਹੁਨਾ

ਨੀ ਮਾਏ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਤੋਂ ਸੱਭ ਤੋਂ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾ ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਚਾਹੁਨਾ

ਮਾਂ ਤੇ ਪੁੱਤ ਦਾ ਰਿਸ਼ਤਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਏ ਅਵੱਲਾ

ਮਾਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਪੁੱਤ ਨੂੰ ਕਦੇ ਛੱਡ ਦੀ ਨੀ ਇਕੱਲਾ 

ਮਾਂ ਜਿੰਨਾਂ ਪਿਆਰ ਕੋਈ ਕਰ ਨੀ ਸਕਦਾ ਝੱਲਾ

ਨੀ ਮਾਏ ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਕਦੇ ਨਾਂ ਛੱਡੂ ਇਕੱਲਾ

ਹਰ ਵੇਲੇ ਫੜ੍ਹ ਕੇ ਰੱਖੂੰ ਤੇਰਾ ਪੱਲਾ

ਆਪਣੇ ਪੁੱਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਹਰ ਮਾਂ ਦੀ ਵੱਸਦੀ ਜਾਨ

ਮਾਏ ਤੇਰੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਮੈਂ ਕਰਦਾਂ ਹਰ ਚੀਜ਼ ਕੁਰਬਾਨ

ਨੀ ਮਾਏ ਹੁਣ ਰੱਬ ਕੋਲੋਂ ਇੱਕੋ ਮੰਗ ਮੰਗਾਂ 

ਹਰ ਜਨਮ ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰੀ ਕੁੱਖੋਂ ਜੰਮਾਂ।
