Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today's topic is "Say No To Challenges." So let's dive into it.
Many people have faced a lot of challenges, including myself, When I think back about the experience of the challenges I faced, it makes me conclude with myself that I won't allow my children to face the same challenges as I faced throughout my childhood to adulthood. I am yet to marry because I am still a student, but my wish and desire is to provide my children with what I lacked in my childhood because I don't want them to face the same challenges I faced because I know how exhausting and depressing such challenges can be. Though I can eliminate any obstacles that come their way, by providing them with a safe and secure environment, sending them to a better school, and ensuring their basic needs are met. I also realise how important it is for me to allow my children to face and overcome their challenges by themselves without me, because the challenges they will experience are very important for their growth and development.
If children are not exposed to challenges at a young age, they may find it difficult to struggle or cope with the realities of life, which can develop a fear of failure within them. Facing challenges teaches them how to think and solve problems by themselves and allows them to find solutions to every problem or challenge they are facing. Without all these experiences, children may become dependent on their parents for support and guidance, which may affect their ability to navigate the world.

Like what my brother used to say, he said as a parent, if we are doing everything for our children without letting them face the challenges, they will never learn neither will they think by themselves.
Children can't expect their parents to make all decisions for them, neither did they expect them to make friends for them; it's their problem whether to make friends or not. Also, they can't expect their parents to be there for them throughout their lives and they have to go out and face whatever life throws at them.
Moreover, overcoming challenges can encourage or promote the ability to recover from any difficulty they are facing; it may help the children to understand that challenges are a natural part of life. We have some parents if fellow students of their children beat them, and they get to know about it the next day they will follow their children to their school and start picking up a fight with the principal of the school or teachers, though I don't say what they are doing is not good, but they should always remember that they won't be there for them throughout the journey of their children's life. Let us assume that their children gain admission into the university and a fellow student of their children beats them. Will they say they will come to their children's school to insult the school authorities or what? As the children are facing the challenges, that's how their minds will open in for them to think quickly and make good decisions.
In conclusion, I believe that if we allow our children to face challenges by themselves, that's how it will be more helpful for their growth and development. As a parent, allowing them to face their challenges doesn't mean we don't love them; we are just preparing them for the outside world.

This was a very frequent thing at the primary school I went to. Teacher getting harrased by students' parents was a very regular thing. Not that I'm saying that that is why, but most of those kids today are not very well as adults.
One of the major reasons I agree with letting children face their own battles sometimes is for personal development and growth like you rightly mentioned. If they don't learn to stand up for themselves and be their own people now, they'll suffer as adults.
Yes, if we don't allow our children to face their challenges by themselves they will suffer and they won't know the reality of life.
They will cope, my dear sister.
I can't go to public school where there are no chairs and tables and in this while send my children to the same setting just for them to learn when I can afford a good school.
Some adults have never tasted hardship in their lifetime and they are in their old age now👌
As for me, I do not wish any struggles for my children
Yeah, no one wish their children to struggles but we shouldn't lie to ourselves,if we don't allow them to face their challenges they will never learn.
It is a fact that life as it is is quite difficult and parents also give courage to children and teach them how to live their lives from their experiences.
Yeah, you are right.
