Bouncer!!

What really freaks me out these days are not the market conditions worldwide but the future is in hands of these small kids and their age ranges between 2-8 years. Some of the activities done by them has really got me to write all this.

The other day, when I was entering my sister’s house my niece (six years old) came running and said “Neha masiiiiiii, I have stopped eating junk food from now.” I guessed it was because her mother always scolds her for eating a lot of chips. But when I asked her she said that “because one gets fat when u eat a lot of it.” Later, on enquiring I found that it was not my sister who had explained her, but some of her 'park' friends (as the little one likes it to be called). I don’t even think of not eating all this till date when I am at the age when I need to be worried about my weight. And, I always thought her favorite actress was Kajol ;-)

Another one, I know of this six year old who has started helping a handicapped girl of about her age in her class. The teacher says that no one else volunteers to take part with the other girl in functions. And, because of this girl (who extended her helping hand) the other girl has started becoming confident of herself on stage. I was speechless at that moment. The best part is that the girl who is helping is not aware of the word handicapped or she is under no teacher or parents influence to be friendly with the other one. I have worked with some spastic societies and Interact clubs and have an inclination towards Corporate Social Responsibility but this one is truly the most innocent move by anyone.

Don’t take them as only innocent, they are very smart too. They know what a laptop is, how it is used, whether a Sony Vaio or a HP is better. They wanna look really cool and happening and know what shoes are the latest one among their age group etc etc.

Cant even imagine what they will do when they enter double digit age.
Total Bouncer and Over the top these new generation kids are…Pheww!!

I so agree with you, on the trendy clothes part. However, I was mentally very smart, even as a kid!
