A friend of ours, a noted educationist, has listed following challenges for teenage parenting-
Bullying and your child
Confidence building
Moods, stress and depression
Your child’s behavior
Communication with your child
Handling failure
School holidays
Your child and homework

However, going through the list and meeting children of today, may be these are challenges for all parents having school going children of any age.

Children of English Medium School, SHIRDI
Remaining Connected
Just the other day my cell rang up. Before, I could take up the call, the call got disconnected. The calling number was not familiar but I called the same. I identified myself and asked for the identity of other person. "I am your student, Jairam . How are you”. I said “ Happy . Are you speaking from Shirdi”? He said “yes. You taught us”. I asked “ What did you learn” . Jairam said “ To be happy .We remember you. When are you coming again?” I replied “ whenever I will come, will call you up”.
Have interacted with now at least more than thousand children but here was the one who was with me for ten hours only and made me feel that the connectivity happens even in a group of 60 children, with someone, who was a simple and affectionate soul. What adults find difficult to do, children just do it.
