Where is my voice?
Mother is always right! Father is always right! Big brothers and sisters are always right! I on the other hand has never been right. I am never asked why I chose to do it this way or that way. Instead, I am beaten, at best scolded! They say I don’t know my left from my right but I’m learning everything they are doing and I am likely to do it to people younger than me!!!
Every decision about me is made by my big brothers and sisters and my family. I ask myself why but I seem not to find any answers apart from the fact that I’m a child. When I have a better idea on how best we can solve a problem, they call me disrespect. If I keep quiet when there’s a problem, I am called careless and unconcerned! I wish I was in their heads to know what to do at the right time! Oh yes I really wish .
Some people sometimes envy the world of children but it has its complexities!
Childhood is a period of confusion for many children during which period they may loose their voices forever! Help your child today, let them have a voice! We can also contribute if not to the entire society but to our well being.
