As I was sitting in my balcony this afternoon and enjoying some bright Sunshine. I notice a little kid hardly 6-7 years of age acting like a drunkyard on the street. Many kids were playing outside and he is one of them. His name is Aarav a naughty kid in my updatairs apparrment.. Although he seems to be very promising, but acting of a drunkard is unexpected. While the other kids were doing acting of teacher, police, or other personality his wayward acting took me to notice him. He appears to be on point on with his acting, the way he was speaking, walking looks to be very professional. But the strangest part was how a kid of such age gets too familiar with a drunkard behaviour. He is not a born actor, neither he is addicted to TV or mobile, but still he was acting what he saw in real life. It was the influence of his dad, which made him to learn these things.

I always find him quite charming, intelligent and talkative. He is very friendly with me and spend a lot of times eating chocos with me. Whenever he comes to my room, he intelligently ask for his favourite chocos. He has a very sharp mind up on his shoulder. He is bit differrnt, very friendly and his chirping voice could make anyone fall in love with his cuteness. But the trajectory is he was not growing in a good atmosphere. His Dad is a drunkard, who often create ruckus in the building after drinking. And now his kid is absorbing what he was seeing at home. I feel pity for the sharp mind, who is falling prey to a toxic environment at home. A kid alwsys lookafter to his father as a role model, and now looking at the way his dad behave he is acting publicly, I felt bad, about such intelligent mind being brought up in such atmospherr and what could be its repecrusion in the days ahead.
A child's family significantly impacts kids growth and development. The environment helps in shaping their values, social skills, sense of security, and overall personality through the environment they provide, including parenting styles, interactions with siblings, and the family's emotional climate. All these factors serves as the primary source of learning and socialization during early childhood days.
Family values are often instilled in children through their upbringing, influencing their ethical decision-making and behavior. Different parenting approaches (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive) can significantly impact a child's development, with authoritative parenting generally considered most beneficial. Observing interactions within the family helps children learn how to communicate effectively, cooperate, and build relationships with others. In the case of "Aarav", he has seen his dad drinking and alcoholic state in most of the time. And he started to observe how his dad behave late at night.
The father remain out whole day for his work. The only time he could get to see his child is during evening, but under the influence of alcohol, he was setting a bad example. Creating nuisance in front of the child is what aarav is observing. A father influences his child significantly by providing love, support, guidance, and acting as a role model. Such influnce impacting the kids emotional stability, self-esteem, social development, and cognitive abilities, particularly through active engagement and positive interactions from a young age. But 'Aarav' is not getting any of these.
The family environment acts as a primary learning ground for children, shaping how they interact with the world around them. Parenting is an important phase of kids upbringing. Parents can be role models by consistently demonstrating positive behaviors like honesty, kindness, respect, responsibility, hard work, empathy, and good decision-making in their daily lives, allowing their children to observe and learn from their actions, while also openly communicating their values and explaining their choices. Now finding that "aarav" is not getting any, I feel pity for the child.
I even wanted to talk to his parents, but his mother is not ready tontalk to unknown strangers like me (I am very new to this building) and I never met his Dad in personal. You never know how could he react with my positive approach. My intent is right but his mental status might take me wrong. I still wish I could do anything for Aarav. In case you have any suggestion let me know.
Peace!!
