Gift a kid a secured childhood!

SATYAMEV JAYATE!

Much promoted, much hyped and much talked about show by Amir Khan on Star Plus turns out to be a true Amir Khan thing. Missed the 1^st episode but heard awesome reviews about it so I actually set a reminder for the 2^nd episode and GOD,,, I was moved, tensed, touched my heart n all of it.

Being an aunt of 2 most amazingly cute niece’s for 4 years now I had always joked to my brother that he gonna have loads of prob keeping guys away from his daughters as they are too cute now and may become too good looking in future. But it always bothered me watching other crime shows about my neice’s safety. Had read in the newspapers about making your kids aware of bad touch by others too but it was still difficult to explain kids.

On 13^th may 2012 when I saw this episode the 1^st half got its purpose served on me and my family’s thoughts of making people feel angry and at the same time feel sympathy for the victims. It also puts a thought in our head and gives us strength to fight our problems thinking that no matter what ever problems we are facing in our life (no job, love issues etc), many of us at least had our golden years secured in the care of our parents when these victims were in their most horrifying face (with all due respect to the victims). I feel immense gratitude towards my parents, immediate family and the almighty for it.

Then comes the main part for all those who have any kid in their life who they really love and care about. The suggestions from the psychiatrist and the workshop that Amir conducted with the kids was the best thing that could happen to us. The inability to explain themselves and fear of not been trusted by their parents seems to be the main reason why kids suffer for so many years from child sexual abuse. So parents please talk to your kids about this openly. The age of considering having sexual talks with your kids as a taboo are long gone. We are in a modern age and the problems might be old but this in increasing in numbers now. so if a kid comes up to u and tries explaining something like this acknowledge him, comfort him and solve the matter for him.

One of the most important factors in developing our confidence as an adult is a secure and normal childhood and it’s our responsibility to make sure that all the kids around us have a confident life in their future.
