Children
Every day with a child is a new one. Life is never dull with kids around. With kids, life keeps you on your tows. Literally
Every morning when the child says hello dad, you know that he is leading you into a trap. And most surprisingly, you love to walk into this trap willingly. You know that most probably there is a demand coming up for a new headset, a new toy, the latest game in the market or a visit to the water park. The trap depends on many factors like recent school results, performance at the competition, behaviour reports from the teacher, complaint from the co-students etc. The list throws up many surprises. But the end result always leads you into something that the child wants so desparately. And the desparation is directly proportional to the game plan.
Most parents realise there is a trap being laid at the very outset, but they don't mind. They know their child is a big psychologist and at the most opportune moment the demand will prop up from nowhere. Mostly it will be when you are in a happy company of friends, or a public place where you can't show astonishment loudly, or when you have just been impressed with his performance at a game or studies. More accurately, it props up when you just can't say NO.
There are many theories to prove various aspects of this gameplan, but we parents don't ever mind getting set. What could well be the reason?
In my opinion, the most important reason as to why most parents do not mind getting trapped in the plan of their child is one common thing, that is; the wonderful satisfaction and smile on his child's face when their plan works and objective is achieved. That one smile is perhaps the only victory for the parents for which they would lose in any gameplan set by their children.
