These days I have been repeatedly been introduced to
products that are trying capitalize on your insecurities w.r.t to your child’s
scores…..one that I came across recently is a software that churns out MI
report of your child by scanning the child’s fingerprints, these vendors are
coming to your child’s school on PTA meetings or OH dates.
I’ m not commenting on the authenticity of the TECHNOLOGY. I
wish to remind every parent that there is no better report than a parent’s
reading of a child.
Give your child your time, listen to them, attend to their
need and you will know it all. You will know if your child is inclined to music
or sport, why is he writing speed not improving, why is he so talkative in
class, all your why’s will be answered if you look for the answers.
The danger of bringing in these reports into your home is
….its human to not look beyond them, you may have created barriers, you would
end trusting it beyond your heart and mind…..our kids need open arms, open
minds, open hearts….not these parameters and labels.
What is my stand on the product? How did I become so
judgmental?
The answer is : in my personal opinion of years of
experience in seeing products designed for kids?
• It had no
testimonials.
• It had
images goggled out from the net.
• It didn't
share the names of people/psychologist or any team member of an educational
caliber having contributed in the making of the product.
• It used
statistics with no reference of the source / or company that did the research.
• EXTENSIVELY
COLORFUL BROUCHER
