Parents Warned over Children's Deaths

(Kar) A recent report by the Child Fatality Review Panel found 238 deaths of children below 18 in 2008 and 2009. It pointed to 82 unnatural deaths due to their parents who lacked a sense of crisis on parenting, and to expect too much of them. Also, thirteen of the deaths were killed by their parents after the latter made a decision of suicide.

It is shocked for the public to learn about this sad news. Were those parents of the murderesses cruel to their kids? I do not think so. Instead, they loved their children very much and did not want to leave them. Maybe some of them did it for revenging to their mates who had betrayed them. Or some suffered from depression. They handled all of matters with low emotional quotient and often felt hopeless and unhappy. Facing difficulties with negative attitude, they did not have the courage to live. However, I do not think they made a decision of suicide which can solve their problems. If those parents had positive attitude to face hardship, they would not have killed those innocent of their kids. After all, the former did not have the rights to kill them.

 

Parents should protect their kids from home accident. Nevertheless, we occasionally read the news about kids fell from an open window by without installing window bars, or they were burnt by a fire breaking out in their flats. Leaving their kids alone at home for shopping, the careless parents might lose their children in seconds. It is too late for them to be sorry for their children by child negligence.

 

Parents should not put pressure on their children’s homework or to compare their results with others. It makes those kids lack of confidence to their peers as well as losing interest in their schooling. Parents no need to do such as meaningless matters. On the other hand, parents and teachers should work together to lead children to improve their thinking, and help them to develop positive study habits. I hope all children to have a happy childhood
