Talent

Hi Sir, My Children forgot their house keys one day and they realized it after returning from school (when they found the main door locked). My Son (11 yrs) went through the kitchen of my neighbor to my kitchen (thru a door , which was broken at that time) and entered our room, picked the key and gave it to my daughter and other neighbors and they opened the house with a key. My lessons from this incident - we got repaired the broken door, i amke sure the kids carry the keys always, in case they forget i give the house keys to my neighbors. I too fail to understand why they say its talent as we would want them to show their talents in the fields of academics, professions as well as in 'good manners' and not behaving like a theirf.

That is definitely not a talent! That is being disrespectful to other people's property, not to mention to you for what he said and done

I am not sure I completely understand the incident. Why he took all the troubles in taking the bag out of your room and then left it there, is a mystery to me. But from the narration of it, I find it rather funny. I think you should also look at it with a slight paradigm shift. This boy is being naughty and it's kind of cute. Whether taking a bag with bamboo is a talent or not, is controversial question. But surprisingly, instead of feeling annoyed I feel rather amused. Sometimes we just give up passing judgement on small things and enjoy it passively. It's the way we extract pleasure from even the most unacceptable things in life. This is the art of living. This is the way of Bhagwat Gita. I hope you understand what I mean. Take care.

Wow! Sometime you need to sit down and talk to this "know-it-all" kid! The question is not about a generation gap, it's about the rules of taking care of other people's property! IT IS YOUR HOUSE!!!!! I don't care if God himself told him to do that! I'd be tempted to ask him "does your generation have no respect for other people's property"? I would be tough as nails with this kid and never trust him in my home without me there. In a few months or years you will hear "I now understand what you were saying". I've been getting that a lot from my three sons now.

sir i think all kids have many different talent but in these some are multi talented but not every kids are same in talent....so you tr to encourage or motivate your son to icrease his interest in good feilds....but one more thing is that try to know whats they actually wants....

Yes many often.You can not say this really as generation gap but some people do just for fun.But sometimes these fun causing element bring them great problem.When I was about 15 years of age I used to involve in such kind of activities.I would like to explain a situation where because of my irresponsiveness I not only created problem for me but also for my family member.While studying my 10+2 I was staying in a hostel with strict supervision.I was not allowed to go outside from the hostel without permission.Me and some of my friends decided to go for a movie to nearby cinema hall and made a plan for that.As the security guard of the hostel was not going to allow us we decided to jump from our building to the nearby building and from there through a narrow passage we could have gone through.As per plan at 9 pm we started jumping one by one.All my friends jumped to that with ease but when my turn came, one of my leg got stuck to a wooden pole nearby and I fall down breaking my leg.

Such so called talented or smart children is the result of today's generation which now a days we find in almost every family with something or other talent in them.

My brother's son only 10 years old but he is the great "Tabla Wadak" He got 3 times prizes. Full night wake up in Arkeshtra. Now new generation child has more talent than old. He can run the Computer, cell phone, Camera etc.
