Teacher told the parent in front of the child that the five year old is 'Abnormal'. There is something wrong with him. It really depresses me. Is the child abnormal because people around him cannot understand him. Who is Abnormal? I wonder if we are all normal?
Being normal is to complain, criticize, put down, do anything to prove I am right ? We as adults are doing all of this and we call a child who is trying to cope with all the criticism and the messages he is getting around him by creating a safe world for himself 'Abnormal'. The child just does not feel the need to be part of this harsh world around him.
Somewhere, are we losing sensitivity towards accepting differences, are we showing impatience when it is not conforming to our standards and conveniences?
Do we have any right to call a child 'Abnormal'? We need to do a reality check on ourselves before judging or evaluating anyone especially a child.
