I am telling story of a small child, please read through the lines and post your comments.
Recently I have met with a small and cute girl **named Dolly of around 4 years of age with all the qualities of an innocent child, cute face, nice smile, naughty & silly actions & reactions.but she was too naughty than a normal child.She can't sit on one place for more than a minute.
Being too much curious she want to touch all the things around her to understand about that thing, she want to talk to each and every person sitting before her.she wish to say something in her language and use to think she had successfully delivered her thoughts and when somebody didn't understand her actions and talks she became upset and sometimes angry.she looked worry about all the people around her.In our dinner she had shared her food with all of us, asked everybody to eat from her
plate having her favourite food'Masala Dosa'.if somebody takes only a small piece of dosa from her plate she ask(thru her cute action and in her language with broken words) to take dosa with sambhar and chutney.afterall rule is rule.she was told sometime before to eat dosa in this way only and she always use to follow that way and ask others too.
I don't know whether she is another case of Dyslexia or some other known disease but she is very intelligent in grasping the information of the things.she can use electronic devices like mobile phones, I-podes, television even computer far better then a normal child.but she can't talk like normal child.most of her actions and talks can only be understood to her parents which they explain to others later.
Her parents are our family friends and belong to a good family, her dad is an officer in railways and her mom is Probationary Officer in a bank.they are so good and intellectual people that we can't imagine their child as abnormal.And I have seen this kind child very first time in my life.I have met so many children in my life and enjoyed their company talking and playing with them.even I have played with some mentally retarted children too and liked their spirit of learning.but this kid is quite different from all of them.on one hand she is not able to express herself as normal child but on the other hand she is very brilliant in many things.she can play all the games which are sometimes seems tough for the adults.First we saw her driving a children toy car in a games station and we have enjoyed watching her actions playing with her dad.then she had drives in all the 4 cars available at the games station and she don't want to leave the place at any cost.she look sometimes arrogant but many times innocent and cute.
Her parents already brought herto many doctors and specialists.consulted with some doctors in abroad but all of them have nothing much to explain, just adviced them to give more personal attention to the child and be with her in each and every moment of the day.her parents have followed many advices from their near and dear ones.done many rituals and visited many holy pilgrimages for her betterment.but the results are not so satisfactory in any sense.
Her parents honestly confessthat they have done some mistake in her initial care.Living in a nuclear family and having responsible jobs they have not took care of their child what she deserves.initially she was put under care of a house maid and later she brought to a crech where she didnt learn anything.she had some kids around her but she was different to all of them.she was looking for some personal attention from her parents in the initial stage of her childhood but her parents were too busy for her.her father has to go out for his work for many times for longer periods and her mother has to give 10-12 hours of working in her profession.
Now the question ariseshow to tackle this kind of situation in our life.Many of us must have faced such situation in our life.some must be lucky enough to have elders in their family to help them in bringing up their children.or in many cases mothers has to give up their career to take best care of her child.
In the last,we all have enjoyed her company and played with her in her own way, tried to teach her many things in a small time span and happy to see her learning so fast.We all pray almighty to help the little child succeed in expressing herself soon.She is too small now but sooner or later she has to compete with other children in the real world.We all told her parents that she will be perfectly alright very soon.They were asking for best wishes for their child and we wished for her best with wet eyes and lots of kisses on her cute chicks.She is really so cute that her face is still in my eyes.
Dolly must not be a single caseof her kind in this world.there must be some other kids like her more or less suffering from similar or somewhat different problems.these kids just need love and personal attention of the people around them.Its all depend upon the parents to take best care of their kids through any possible mean.
