SCHOOL DROP OUTS IN CHILDHOOD

This occurs in the most affluent to most down trodden in the soceity.
Causes:
1)Lack of patterna/maternal controle over children in the 10-15 yr age group.Most vulnerable around age 11 yrs.
2)Lack of supervision when their academic performance falls below average.
3)ACCESS to free flow of money in their hands,which leads to seek extravagent life.Allowing children to return home after 6 pm,even for a single day if it is unexplainable.
4)Allowing children to go to cinema theaters,visit bars,visit places of gambling in the name of recreation clubs.
5)Allowing children to play cards during study time or any other gambling,smoking /drugs loitering around town without any aim.
6)stealing money at home(Not informing husband if mother knows about it)So the charecter is lost in the already indisciplined child
7)Boys outnumber girls ,because they are given more freedom
8)Beating&scolding children unnecessarily.
9)Matrimonial disharmony in parents,diverting their anger on children(very important)
SOLUTION:
All these are fully correctable,provided parents interfere at the right timewith right steps,or bring it to the notice of an experienced pediatritian or psychiatric consultant.It is a pity that these people dont make use of the doctors for such matters.Early &late adolescence are challenging age to parents who should anticipate &seek the help of doctors whenever they suspect that the path chosen by child is not upto mark of satisfaction.50% of all children are potential drop outs unless carefully supervised.Most of such children become appreciable citizens ONLY because of constant supervision by parents ,teachers who guide them now &then &continuously.
