Has the ‘Child’ in Childhood Disappeared?

Most people are aware of the love and respect that I have for Zephyr as a person. I really admire her wisdom, and there is something to learn from each blog post that she writes. Do visit her blog at Cybernag.in. She is one of the most positive, warm and encouraging bloggers that I know of, and it is an absolute honor to do this Guest Post for her blog.

So, go ahead and read my post about today’s children and the constant pressure they live under at:

    Some kids don’t behave like kids, but they talk and behave like an adult…. and that is when we feel that there is no childhood.

    This is truly a wonderful post. It showcases the importance of good parenting and how it helps bring bloom in the life of a child. It is more important to let the child inside your child grow first rather than hurrying your child to grow fast. Life is not all about achieving.. it is about living first and enjoying your life. If happiness is there, success will follow. Can’t stress how important and powerful this post is. Brilliantly written. And I loved your description of Zephyr too. Very apt and sweet. 🙂
