Yes, its true, in a bid to make their children win the rat race of scoring marks their innocence is being compromised. I know so many children who are rushed form one hobby class to another without any proper time to let them play as they desire. All in a bid to making them well-rounded persons, which ironically will happen only when they are able to do what they want to!
What Sandhya quoted is a perfect example of zero EQ! Children as young as 8 and 10 years are resorting to suicides because4 they are unable to process the negative thoughts into positive!

Gulshan ji, you are correct as the Intelligence of a children purely depends on the surroundings and technology only.
These are at best resources which provide access to a huge base of information and the kids need that cognitive ability to develop themselves as mature human beings - they must be capable of differentiating good and bad to develop morality and right emotional intelligence. Only flood of data is not going to take them anywhere!
