Hello amiable viewers,

Do ensure that you read till the very end of this post, please.

Being a TEACHER and a mother, I have always been a stunch advocate for the fact that, " every child is special, unique and has great ( unknown ) strengths inspite of any weakness or weaknesses that such a child displays!

Seeing the post below really made me elated, as a result, I am reposting right here because I would like to hear your honest views on the topic above - Destructive criticism!

We all are guilty of this crime - " destructive comparison " !

It is a crime that is NOT peculiar to a tribe or colour.

We all have sometime; whether consciously or not fallen victim of commiting the crime -
We do so in our words and sometimes in our thoughts!

" How I wish my daughter or son was this smart"
" How I wish he / she could write and speak so well ".

The list goes on and on.

In all of this, that child still possesses some form of PECULIARITIES and UNIQUENESS.
Such that we may or NOT have discovered because we aren't focusing on the STRENGTHS but rather dwelling on the weaknesses.
