Child’s ill health

Every practical thing in this world has a two fold aspect. As such if we argue about our health there has to be two sides to it as well —the good and the bad. In terms of health its better read as ‘sound health’, or ‘ill health’.

Interestingly when it comes to children, a third aspect is added to the entire phenomenon of child’s ill health. Parents generally themselves get too much worried, sick, and mentally frustrated when it’s their child suffering (from anything)! The fun part is they rediscover things like viral fever, any kind of ache, any form of bleeding and other things of like nature in an entirely new frame.

But hang on; drive a little slow on this. After a point of time in lives most parents live on only for their children. In other words, kids become the protagonist in the play of their folks’ life. Quite naturally, it would leave them in the middle of sea when they can’t do much about their child’s ill health.

Could there possibly be a different angle to this? I mean, a different way at looking unto a child suffering. Let’s try this. Have a look at the following and think over as to which one of these you could agree with!!

A child’s ill health could be because:

• He’s born with a malignant problem and no one on earth has an answer.
• He’s faced with a sudden accident/ event/ situation/ person/ company/….., and thereafter things have changed forever.
• He’s destined to go through a bad patch as far as health is concerned.

Also because,

• He’s overfed and is prematurely obese!
• He’s always spoon-fed and so has no clue of how to go about health himself!
• He can never stop his temptations and his parents /family can’t see him practice penance!
• He’s used to putting the blame onto someone or something else—he’s never responsible for the mistakes!
• What can he do?……so and so asked him to do this and eat that

Yes, yes, I know, you have at least one more to add on to this list. Never mind, take this as a reminder and you know what to do when it comes to your child.

Gathering up, when kids suffer elders are torn apart. As long as things are in one’s hand, well one would always go ahead. But then if things seem too odd out…just pray, leave unto the almighty and most importantly, have faith!!
