The Impact of Encouraging Children to Achieve Their Dreams
IELTS Writing Task 2
Response:
In some special regions, a common belief is told to children that they are capable of doing anything by trying hard. There are some benefits in this message which lead them to have a meaningful life, however the disappointed child without no plan is one of the most crucial drawbacks.
On the one hand, in some society, most parents, teachers, and principals strive to engrave a slogan or message in children’s mind, so the they will always remember that anything is achievable for them if they push themselves enough. In fact, there are various advantages, which having a motivation is the greatest merit. In this way, children have strong passions to continue to do rough tasks and they feel their works and duties are valuable. Moreover, they understand planning make a significant contribution in this belief, and through this, they also learn other essential lessens, such as decision making, which are the keys to be successful in their life.
On the other hand, this trend would cause serious problems, too. The most important one will happen in their adolescences, when they could not accept any failure because, in their childhood, they were told they can achieve anything that if they endeavor. This also has a detrimental effect on their mental health, like causing depression. Secondly, if children do not achieve their goals by trying hard, the feeling of inadequacy and unworthiness will arise in them; thus, as adults, they never experience satisfaction in their life, or even in their work place, and their well-being will undergo major influences. Finally, these children might target something completely imaginary or unreal. For example, being a superhero with magical power.
In conclusion, while in some community children are encourage to try harder in order to achieve their aims, this trend has both special privileges, like learning to plan, and being highly ambitious to continue their tasks, and destructive drawbacks on their mental health and well-being, such as feeling of depression and unworthiness. In my view, these disadvantages drawback the advantages, therefore children should not encounter this situation by their parents.
