Children's day

With the children's day approaching on 14th Nov, everyone suddenly tends to think of and talk of children's subjects and matters..... There was an article on Deccan chronicle too, today about the same.... Everyone's crying about the lack of children's films being made and again a lack of quality product of the same.... so very true..... Hardly anyone thinks of children's subjects..... being a mother, i too would like to see more films being made for children..... some clean content and more of strong storyline put in..... sometimes it makes me wonder what is the right content for children? If one sees, Tom and Jerry, the most popular series watched and enjoyed by not only kids but even the elders..... is that the right content??? i am not very sure.... its an enjoyable content no doubt but the main theme is "pulling each other down" and what kids learn from the series is.... its ok and its fun to hit each other" ... in other words .... "violence is acceptable"..... Then again- if u see the Mr. Bean series... is the whole content again good for kids? Supermans, Spidermans, Batmans..... all the stories and concepts thought of in a very good manner.... But what would you say to facts of children jumping from their balconies pretending to be some superhero......

Children are so vulnerable... their minds so soft and delicate that they grasp and absorb whatever they see and hear around them..... they need constant guidance..... Coming Children's Day, we should make it a point to better ourselves first and gift our children a better tomorrow....
