With the ever-increasing competitions and demands in life, a

child

’s family,

school

and society, as a whole, expect too much from the

child

. While it is important to excel in schools, sports, social activities and in other aspects of life, those

children

should be shielded from the mounting pressures by maintaining a balance in their life.

Otherwise

, the expectation would act as a boomerang and hamper the development of a

child

. The world has become far more competitive than ever before.

Moreover

, the commercialisation of products which targets young

children

is another problem we need to address. We have to draw a line in our expectations and find out the true potentials of a

child

rather than pushing them constantly. The state should discourage having an entrance exam in elementary

school

and have sufficient funds to ensure proper entertainment and sports facilities in academies. Teachers should not pressurize

children

to do homework every day and make the

school

a place to learn in a fun way.

Furthermore

, social perspectives to prepare every boy or girl to become a doctor, engineer or a higher-wage-earning professional should change. To conclude,

children

today are being pushed beyond their limits to achieve academic, social and professional success, and

this

has unfathomable negative consequences. Parents and teachers should find the hidden talent of a

child

, not try to make them something they are not meant to be.
