Serial Impact

The TV Soaps does cause a deep impact on kids. In a recent serial, there were scenes which showed that a girl takes away jewels, cash, bank ATM cards etc and elopes with her boyfriend. The parents talk among each other and become shocked when they see that things are missing from their house.

The girl on the other hand tells her boyfriend that these things are anyway yearmarked for her by her parents.

So the best part is when I was questioned by my 6 year old daughter about the whole thing in a different angle. She asked me whether it was arong to take away things from our house without telling parents. She was like confidently asking what was worng in taking things that belonged to the girl without telling the parents. She was telling that afterall the things are given by her parents to her, why then the girl cannot take it away as she wishes.

The situation was very tough to handle, but I did tell her that it is ofcourse worng to take away anybody's things without telling the owner, be it father, mother, or brother. Never take anybody's things without asking their permission.

But the other lesson I learnt is not to watch too much serial with kids :)
