Intresting Story
Importance of Strugle...
A man was an avid gardner...
Saw a small butterfly laying a few eggs in one of
the pots in his garden since that day he looked
at the egg with ever growing curiosity and
eagerness.
The egg started to move and shake a little.
He was exited to see a new life coming up right
in front of his eyes.
He spent hours watching the egg now.
The egg started to expand and develop cracks..
A tiny head and antennae started to come out
ever so slowly.
The man's excitement knew no bounds he got
his magnifying glasses and sat to watch the life
and body of a pupa coming out.
He saw the struggle of the tender pupa and
couldn't resisit his urge to HELP.
He went and got a tender forcep the help the egg
break, a nip here a nip there to help the
struggling life. And LO!
The pupa was out the man was ecstatic!
He waited now each day for the pupa to grow
and fly abt like a beautiful butterfly, but Alas
that never happened the larvae pupa had a
oversized head and kept crawling along in the
pot for the full 4 weeks and died!
Depressed the man went to his botanist friend
and asked the reason.
His friend told him the struggle to break out of
the egg helps the larvae to send blood to its
wings and the head push helps the head to
remain small so that the tender wings can
support it thru its 4 week life cycle, in his
eagerness to help the man destroyed a beautiful
life!
Struggles help all of us, that's why a wee bit of
effort goes a long way to develop our strength to
face life's difficulties!
As parents, we sometimes go too far trying to
help and protect our kids from life's harsh
realities and disappointments.
We don't want our kids to struggle like we did.
But Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Dan Kindlon says
that overprotected children are more likely to
struggle in relationships and with challenges.
We're sending our kids the message that they're
not capable of helping themselves.
To quote clinical psychologist Dr. Wendy Mogel:
"It is Our Job to prepare Our Children for the
Road..., &
Not prepare the road for Our Children..."
