I had been dragged into the hostel life at the age of 12.I thought i was too young to live in an hostel, staying away from my mother.It was when i reached there i almost had an heart stroke. There were 5 year old kids living in the hostel (residential school).Don't you thing that children of that age should definitely have a normal family time? Who do you think is at fault? The parents, who do not have time to spend time with the kids? Or,the Residential schools who encourage the parents for their sole profit earning motive?

Yes its not that easy for a 5 years old kid to stay in hostel.I remember i went to hostel at the age of 17 years and it was tough in the starting to adjust there without my family of course it took time for me to adjust. :)

But i feel its all the parents who should be blamed for it as they find it difficult to spend time for their kids so they send them to hostel. :evil:
Oh I had so many stints at hostels in different ages because of my father's transferable job.
That is a real tough part in your life. I never stay in hostel but know the facilities and culture in hostel.
Five years is too earlier to stay at hostel.But staying at hostel is not a bad thing if you can adjust. You can learn lot of good things from your friends.
No this is not right as they are very young for hostel life and for proper mind development 5 year child must stay with their parent till 12 years...........

The best thing we learn there is to be independent. :blink:

I lived in hostel for 4 years during my engineering course and those where the memorable days. :blink: :)
I have never spend my life in hostel.But yes when I used to take tuition class one small girl was supposed to send to hostel by her mother and she requested me to tell her mother not to send her to hostel.She was very upset.This is the time when they want to play and don't want any restriction.children should not be sent to hostel at very early age.
Actually hostel life is not at all good for children. It is good for elders and matured people. Regarding this we have nothing to say because it is decision of their parents. May be they are too busy to take care of their children or may be they have some other problems.

I have never been to hostels. I have seen the life of children living in hostels. I am happy to get good parents. They are very caring and possessive enough to keep me with them. They are always ready to stand beside me in any situation.

Hostel life makes your mind strong enough to live independently and face situations alone without anybody's help or support. Children living in hostels are therefore little tough by heart and they are fearless. They prove themselves to the world. Their inner calibre comes front.
It is difficult to stay without parents. I stayed in boarding when i studied 11-12. That time i always cried.

So for whole 2 years you cried for your parents. :blink:

I cried in the starting when my father left me in hostel but after that i became normal and always felt hostel like my home. :)
It is not good for a little child as this age they are effect to parents.If they are away from parents then it is isolation between them...........

my marks also reduced because of home sickness. :( :( :( :( :(
I am personally not in favor of sending children to the hostel or a residential school while they are very young.But once they take up professional courses it is something that they have to get used to, all 3 of my children have had to go since it is a matter of studies, though they dint want to ...I feel that it i a food experience for them to be independent and take responsibilities since they are old enough to manage on their own !
But take for example a home atmosphere where both husband and wife are busy and the children left in the care of maids or old parents who may not be able to do much and the child gets neglected .I feel in such a case it is better that the child is put in a residential school where he is taken care of and also his progress monitored ...

That's true a child feel home sick in the starting but they get normal after sometime.There were lot of boys in my hostel and it happened with every one but they came back to normal after few days. :)
what parents think is if my child will go to hostel, he/she would much discipline and would be able to live a good life in future. My child would be very strong.

I think you would be away from your home in college, so that is fine if you live in hostel, because that is the only option to live comfortable.
But parents should understand, that they shouldn't send their 5 years old child to hostel.
