Compete with yourself, not others; parents should stop pressurising children: PM at ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ “It is crucial to instill resilience in our children and help them cope with pressures… We cannot do switch off, pressure is gone. One must become capable of bearing any kind of pressure. They should believe that pressure keeps on building, and one has to prepare oneself,” he said. Prime Minister Modi also suggested students to “always make friends who are more intelligent and work harder”. “You must be inspired by such friends. Don’t let the pressure of studies and examinations overpower you,” he said. Modi said that even though competition and challenges act as inspirations but competition must be healthy. “Lot of parents keep on giving examples of other children to their children. Parents should avoid doing these things…,” he said. The prime minister said, “We have also seen that those parents who have not been very successful in their lives have nothing to say or want to tell the world about their successes and achievements, make the report card of their children as their visiting card. Whenever they meet someone, they will tell them the story of their children.” “You must not compare one child with another as that can be detrimental to their future.
