We must know that our kids are digital natives. They learn more through the blended approaches over old methods of teaching. All they need is the right kind of empowerment and tools. Teaching them about the effective use of cell phones has become a very important part of education. Should we want our kids to excel, become responsible citizens and do well in life, we must put them the right kinds of tools and information from early childhood.
We build too many restrictions; live with the old beliefs, never ending protocols. Life would become "HELL" for every passing second. We can't control the pursuit of the Internet Thing when it is easily available. It became the double-edged sword. And school and parents must play a crucial role in empowering kids of all kinds. Our kids need unfailing love and care and empowerment to overcome these hurdles of everyday life.
Have you ever headed to your office without phones in your pocket? And we are blindly damming the ideas of using cell phones at school, that too for learning and under supervision and under need circumstances.
We need to have eyes that see the best in people around, a heart that forgives the worst and a mind that forgives the bad.
We must always teach the necessary skills before expecting a child to succeed or trying to discipline them with Hitler's principles. Remember it will never work with our kids today. Time has changed, thus, far. Rather than restrictions, we must encourage them to use the Internet Thing and cell phones and other rapidly changing things around more responsibly. Together we can live better and longer. Together we can coexist as a better human race over divinity or else we will continue to live poor as a nation.
If we are concerned about our kids, we must first learn to empower them with the right manners. Do-over plan. Lasting plan. Impactful plan. Simple plan. Supportive plan. There is no time for complication and puzzle when everything is already at the fingertips or at the click of a button. This is the part of life and we must plan for it consciously. Complicated and strict rules have no room in the world of technology. No theories or discoveries have ever happened without planning and supporting each other or failing. No man is an Island!
We learn through mistakes. We must find an enduring solution to empower kids when they struggle. Collective responsibilities go a long way in building a stronger and a secure nation. Everyone must take a positive role in making the future of our children. Time has changed and it will keep changing, all we can do is adopt, adapt and adjust. We must learn to tailor on the path we will be going to live for the rest of our lives.
The problem comes when we overrule our children or put them under strict rules of life. It will make their life more burdensome and stressful. Maybe such protocols will give a temporary comfort, it will make us feel better and at ease, but our children will miss out on learning opportunities and many more life experiences that may live for the rest of their life.
When was the last time your pocket went empty with a phone? When was the last time you thought, your child would be living a life by the side of the Internet and cell phones and other luxury gadgets? You control today, make them discipline with life and next day they will lead a life with all these luxury things.
Should we want our children to be empowered lawfully and holistically, we must relook at the existing school policy governing cell phone usage in school.
However, keeping things inline for learning or the charm of learning going or keep the flame of learning or learning more integrated and dynamic, we must erase the ill thought regarding the Internet Thing and cell phones.
