NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 29 urged parents to avoid comparing the performance of their wards with that of the latter’s friends or siblings as such a practice of running commentary will prove detrimental to a child’s future.
PM Modi made these remarks during an interaction with studentsat the seventh edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha, a programme where he attempts to create a stress-free atmosphere for youngsters who are preparing to give their exams.
“There is a pressure that we have set for ourselves like we have to get up at 4 am in the morning. We have to study till 11 pm at night, solve this many answers, I think we should not stretch ourselves so much that our ability gets broken. We should do it in increments, slowly,” PM Modi said.
The Prime Minister observed that parents step up the pressure by asking children to wake up early during exams and by comparing students with their friends.
