Who would have been better than the mystery writer herself in stressing upon the importance of a loving home that good childhood needs? Every now and then when the millennials (the new generation children) are subject to stranger dangers, it is of utmost importance that the child gets love and compassion at least at home, if not in the company of friends and teachers. This would also prove fruitful in breaking the silence about many subjects which are otherwise considered taboo in our society.

Propagators of Indian social morality blame the openness enhanced by the social media for the increase in pornography related crimes in India. They say that undue openness about sex education has led to the arousal of curiosity of the adolescents in India. Children have started using their parents’ mobiles to seek sexual pleasures through stalking, cyber bullying and viewing pornographic sites. And with the recent legal verdicts in matters related to same-sex marriages, adultery and so on children would find it easier to accept the perversities!
In all this blame-game, we have forgotten the very fundamental reason for a child to turn to a mobile rather than members of his/her family or peer group. It is us, the parents who introduce the child to the menace, be it a mobile or immorality. It is because we keep silence at home at times when the child wants to break out that the child turns to the perversities.
There is a lot of talk these days about how to handle sexual abuse, how the child should be equipped to handle such an incident. In most of such cases, it is an understood fact that the perpetrator /abuser are someone more powerful than the abused may be because of his/her age, physical or emotional power or influence over the other. Are we as parents ever ready to introduce a talk related to the child’s sexual preferences? Have we ever observed the child’s behaviour in a group? Are we as a parent ready to accept that our child might be the abuser at times and not the abused or the bully and not the bullied?


If you feel uncomfortable trying to talk about certain issues openly with your children, you can take the help of photographs, books, animations and, the best; counselors. You can make it clear to the child before and after such a session that you want them to know about some things which you can’t explain them properly but which are important for them to know. So, both of you are going to take the help of some experts. And, after one such session you can always ask them what they understood, what they liked/didn’t like about it.
That would definitely be a great way to start to break the silence and make way for a happy childhood.
I precisely had to appreciate you all over again. I’m not certain the things I might have done in the absence of the actual ideas discussed by you concerning such field. It became a real difficult condition for me personally, but discovering a new professional form you handled it forced me to jump for delight. I’m just happier for the guidance and as well , have high hopes you comprehend what a powerful job you’re carrying out instructing most people through your blog. I am sure you’ve never encountered all of us.
