Reality shows and the kids..

Kids on the High Drama  .

Of late , we tune in to any channel , we see the reality shows in varied names hosting kids in an extra ordinary way. Yes, initially it was very interesting , seeing kids performing , dancing like adults , singing or enacting over their age characters, which we have never come across in our day to day life. Ofcourse , we can appreciate for identifying the talents and show casing them in a huge way.

But, as few episode passed by,  very soon , it started giving a feeling of unpleasantness or not good sort , the reason being , something says from inside , "Are these raw fruits being made to ripe  in a much early stage , just like as the raw mangoes & bananas are made to ripe quickly using some harmful chemicals and sold in market ?"   There's also a saying in Tamil , " Pinjuliye pazukka vaikkirathu !'

The new education system policy  is the small kids in schools are devoid of exams & the ranking systems to avoid the peer pressure of competition and to keep them away from stress . But , what's happening here in the TV shows is , the kids are made to perform for the competition sake and pass through public scrutiny, judges' comments , parents pressure etc without their awareness .They are made to work in an environment , where terms like money , TRP rating , the peer pressure , adult talks, relationships & behaviors are more prevalent , which definitely is not in kids dictionary. The impact of this would remain as a lasting impression in the young minds for years to come. The kids lose their precious childhood which comprises of learning things in their own way , playing and enjoying  with the kids of their own age with a carefree attitude and innocent nature .

On watching these programs , the other parents also would aspire to get their kids to similar programs , leading to a great havoc in the future childhood . This needs to be really checked at the right time and awareness has to be brought in the present system. Good to hear  the voices have started raising in the media ..

"Humble request to authorities to urgently ban all reality shows involving children .it's actually destroying them emotionally & their purity. "

The Innocence of the children , which is the greatest gift to the kids by nature needs to be preserved at any cost and the innocence has to get matured , taking its own time and pace in a natural and beautiful manner !! A child has to pass through an adolescent stage to become an adult !! Not bypassing the adolescent stage !!

 Walking the nature's way is very much essential to avoid any untoward incidents and  foster a healthy future generation in the ages to come !!
