Trust (Confidence) You must have noticed that when ducklings hatch from their eggs, they initially ride on top of the duck in the lake. The duck swims carrying them. A few days later, suddenly one day, the duck shakes its body and the ducklings fall into the water. Nature guides them, and within a short time, instinct turns them into swimmers. Suppose the duck doesn't do this, what would happen? If the duck doesn't do this, with each passing day, the weight of the ducklings will keep increasing, and the duck itself will drown under their weight. Similarly, if a hen does not teach her chicks how to peck at grains, those chicks will fall prey to cats. The same is the case with us humans. In the process of protecting our children from the highs and lows of life, we begin to resist the path of nature. We forget that these children belong to the same Lord who has endowed us with the strength and courage to protect them. We bind their lives with parent-guide controls, much like a remote control. Time passes, their burden increases, and one day, exhausted and tired, we pick a single incident or a reason, shake them off, and distance them from us. Suddenly, the grown-up child finds himself alone in the marketplace of the world, striving to manage his own responsibilities. At that time, despite having everything, he lacks confidence, because during the age of building confidence, we had kept them hidden behind the curtains of our self-created fears. Trust your children. Let them understand the marketplace of life. Remember!! An finger is held to teach how to walk; they will never learn to walk if you keep them sitting on your shoulders forever.
