The commercial shows a child excited about winning a competition in school announces it to his parents. The parents, instead of exhibiting joy and encouraging him, ask what he won the prize for, bicker about whose family’s smarter than the other and which spouse’s brain has the child inherited. This leaves the boy thoroughly confused and he meekly informs that he’s stood first in painting. The parents, quite shaken, applaud him, but continue to bicker and blame each other’s families for such artistic inheritance.
It’s strange and disheartening to note that normal human nature is such. First of all, they want their children to win every competition/ battle of life. Secondly, if it’s painting instead of academics, that’s almost shameful. Why can’t parents let their kids grow and bloom naturally, and encourage and support them whole-heartedly?
This commercial appealed to me a great deal. The expression on the child’s face spoke volumes. Please dear parents, listen to the unspoken words, comprehend the latent talents and let your children blossom and become masters of their vocation.
