Before You Judge That KBC Kid, Watch this! | #GetSetParent

0:29 This Gen Alpha for you right there. This is a generation which has grown up on instant gratification, instant results, instant gifts, pizza, movies delivered in the blink of an eye. Much has been said about these kids storming Instagram these days. Here's my take on it. The first point is this is the typical characterization that we see of Gen Alpha. They're impatient, they're hyperactive, and don't know how to wait for something. We see it in their daily lives, in the way they use quick commerce or OTT platforms, and that same behavior has gotten extended even in their interactions with Mr.

1:13 Bachchan, right? So, expecting an immediate change in behavior is not normal. The second point I would like to say is there is a natural generation gap. We have Mr. Bachchan in his 80s and these kids barely 10. Every household faces these generation clashes. You remember growing up being impatient with your grandparents, or you see that at home where your children you know tell you know shut off their grandparents sometimes.

1:44 The same thing has gotten extended even there. The third point I would like to make is as a society, something to think about, have we become very rigid in our acceptance of personality types? Oh, this child is too shy, too introverted. Oh, this child is too outspoken, too extroverted. Who's creating these formulae of who is the perfect child? I think in classrooms, even in families, we need to allow for a broad spectrum of personalities of children, much like all of us are so different from each other.

2:21 So, just my view is that this video needs to be taken as is, not to blame parenting styles. There is something called nature and nurture, right? There's a way in which children innately have a certain personality. And yes, could the child have been um prepared to you know appear on national television in a certain different form? That's a question of more training and grooming for that show and for that recording.
