Ah, the young mind - a treasure trove of curiosity, wonder, and discovery! What's on this young boy's mind today? Is he exploring the world, pondering new ideas, or maybe dreaming about his next adventure? Treating young minds with care, respect, and understanding lays the groundwork for their growth and development. Here are some key ways to nurture and support them: Encouragement, Active Listening, providing guidance, creating a safe environment, being a role model, and stimulating creativity.

Our mindset is a threat to Young minds:

Our mindset indeed plays a significant role in shaping the experiences and development of young minds. If our mindset is negative, closed, or limiting, it can inadvertently impact the way we interact and influence young individuals. Here's how our mindset might affect them:

Limiting Beliefs, Fixed Mindset vs. Growth Mindset, Emotional Influence, Modeling Behavior, Creating a Learning Environment

Recognizing the influence of our mindset on young minds is crucial. By adopting a growth mindset, being aware of our attitudes and behaviors, and consciously striving to create a positive, supportive, and encouraging atmosphere, we can positively impact the development of young individuals.

Our Beliefs vs Young Boys Tantrum:

We believe that young minds should always listen and obey us without any of their concern. Of course, what we believe and trust may be fine. However, we should accept the generation gap and modern technologies driving young minds into earlier maturity. We always fantasized that girls are precious and we should protect them. Girls should be highly educated and have to grow up with self-confidence. Women and men are equal so men should respect women. But we failed to raise our boys, the young minds to think of respecting girls since their childhood. While growing up, boys are not given enough knowledge about treating girls.

In today’s world, Teachers in schools are highly concentrating on girls assuming that they are protecting them instead of teaching the boys how to protect the girls. In my hometown, even in co-education, boys and girls should not talk to each other, they should sit separately, teachers always praise the girls in front of boys and mock or show anger towards the boys. When I spent time with a 6th-grade boy, he expressed how he felt when a teacher concentrates on girls trusts them blindly, and distrusts boys. He said, “I feel bad when my teacher always trusts the girls and appreciates them for everything. I can understand that many boys are not good in their manners but some boys are good at it. I and my friends are really disappointed with our teachers because they are not a single one who is there to understand us, trust us, or appreciate us, for example, Our Social Teacher told us to bring the map to do mapwork yesterday. I brought the map and 5 more boys also brought it. Our Social teacher came and asked about the map, all the girls showed the map as they brought it, and she started scolding all the boys for not bringing the map and hesitated to look at us who brought the map. So, I stood up and showed her about mine, she reluctantly told me to keep it in my bag”. This created a negative impact on that young mind about his school and teachers. He started to avoid speaking about girls and showed anger when others praised girls.

Focus on young boy’s minds:

After hearing the tantrum of a little boy, I introspected and changed my view of protecting girls. Yes, it is our duty to teach the boys about how to treat girls. how to protect her? Respect the boy’s choice, Hearing them about their own explanations. We should concentrate on boys too to raise them up as a gentleman. It’s the main obligation of every school, every teacher, and every parent including the environment to educate, and trust both boys and girls equally and for boys to explain themselves if there is a need. Let us provide them with a safe, trustworthy, well-educated, equal environment and future. It's our Obligation given by God to us.
