Parents of Schoolgoers  Discussion Forum

It is commendable that a 13 yr old has invented a cure for diarrhoea. I think the parents are also to be applauded for this as they did not pressurize her and allowed her to do what she liked. Rather than discouraging her, they helped her and also guided her. She was lucky to get help from other quarters as well. What worked most for her was her resolve to do something. Somebody with a grit and great will power can accomplish the most difficult of all the tasks also. We need more of such young people to make a difference. Parents should also not be over pressurizing their kids. Subhas replied. I agree. Arushi is a genius. At such a young age, she had achieved so much. I think she was lucky to get help from everybody. Her teachers, family doctors and her parents all were very helpful. She has a strong resolve and is not satisfied with this achievement but is aiming higher. The credit for her success goes not only to her but also to her parents but the drive for success and motivation is only hers. she was never pressurized to excel so she could fully immerse herself in her quest. she was aware of her limitations and so worked towards her aim.
