I think at times children do not listen to their parents..probably that is the reason why they must hired a tutor for such a young child. Whatever the case may be...such inhumanity is really scary. Children are not safe even if they are right under the nose of their parents/mothers.
A child can be made to listen by knowing what he really wants. A friend of mine used to send his problem child to me for correcting him. I never talked with the child. Whenever the child enters my home, I used to take a sketch pad and start drawing. After a few days, to the parent's surprise the boy suddenly showed a change. The parents found him sitting in a corner of his home and started drawing on a paper with a pencil. The restlessness and trouble creating of breaking the porcelain cups and saucers came to a grinding halt.
After some days my friend asked me if i taught the boy how to draw. I said No. I whetted his interest.
This is how one can tame a child..
It is wonderful thing to know how you stimulated the boy and led him to pursue an interest. But these two situations are different, the topic thread and the problem child over here. Whatever the case may be with the 3yr old....such brutality is not expected and should be condemned.
While agreeing with you that an innocent tender heart doesn't deserve such a brutal treatment, I wanted to impress on the the vital point, why a 3 yer old needed a tutor. This trait in parents has become a trend And it goes without saying that it happens in only parents who are ignorant and over ambitious. These parents fail to identify the niche in the children and in a hurry they lead to such foolish activities like employing a tutor at a tender age. It's the parent's duty to to handover their children in to the hands of a responsible and kind tutor.
By the way, it was my response to one of the hon'ble members of the discussion. The query was, "Why a 3 year old needed a private tutor.?"
I think I made myself clear.
