It is commonly said that
today

.
Today
’s
child
 is not competing with the
child
next
 door or even of one’s town or country. He is competing with the
child
 of the global village. The big planet Earth of yesteryears is a small well linked global village of
today
. Parents want their
children
 to excel in every field. They send their
children
 to the best schools where the school bag is often heavier than the
child
 himself. Even after school

 there are private tuitions.
Children
 don’t have time to bloom and bring out their hidden talents. Socially
also
 the
children
 of
today
 are in a huge dilemma. They want to adopt the global culture, whereas their parents force them to confine themselves to the traditions.
This
 sometimes makes them rebel against the rules laid by their elders.
Then
, they
also
 face peer pressure, which can be good if their peers are good and bad if their peers are not disciplined.
This
 peer pressure coupled with the consumerist society of
today
 can lead to a lot of stress and strain on
children
. They see the latest models of cell phones and other items with their peers and want to buy them. When they are unable to do so, they get stressed. The solutions are not simple.
Children
 have to be handled with great care. Parents should have realistic expectations from their
children
. They should have a pro-active approach and give time to their
children
. The biggest onus is on the schools and teachers. They should strive to bring out the best in every
child
 and competition and cooperation should both be taught simultaneously. The aim of competition should not be to win at all

.
Children
 have to be taught to win with modesty and lose with grace. To summarise, there is no doubt that the
children
 of
today
 are facing so many
pressures
, but steps should be taken on a war footing to protect their innocent childhood.
Otherwise
, these
pressures
 will stifle the physical and psychological growth of
children
.
