I was in peace with life, till I saw this!Bump!What was this?Where did this come from?My son is only 8 years!So many such thoughts started floating my baffled mind(Readthe Post).
Yes..today the kids mature faster. I have a 12-year-old son and I can already see that he is behaving like a teenager, although he will turn a teen this year end. He knows quite a lot of things about physical changes, about bees and birds, cuss words, and such. On the other hand, he also discusses with me about serious issues like gender bias, religion, physics, his dreams and passions, responsibilities, etc. I don’t remember when I was 12, I was so mature and knew so much!! We have to accept these changes instead of getting shocked or paranoid. Me and my husband have always been friendly with our kids and now its even more important. My son feels at ease to discuss with me or my husband about girls, physical changes, asks questions related to sex or periods, and we answer his queries to the best of our abilities. In this age of Internet, its important that we allow our kids to be frank with us. Also..I can see that he is learning a lot from his peers, good and bad both. At the age of 12, my son is already a “teenager” in terms of behaviour and physical growth (he is tall for his age and his voice has already cracked). So..I am trying my level best to be a good mother (in terms of discipline) and a friend too. Phew..its a tough balancing act!Yes..today the kids mature faster.

yup….this generation kids are smart and their grasping power is much more than the past generation. Also the exposure to Internet, smartphones and cable TVs making them extra smart as well as vulnerable. Parents need to keep communicating the good and bad to their kids in smart ways !!!
