- When Failing Becomes Opportunity
- Failure Not Final… Boosting Confidence
Article Today, Karnataka:
A Karnataka family’s unconventional approach to their son’s academic failure has sparked a national debate on parenting and motivation. Abhishek Cholachagudda, a 16-year-old student, failed his 10th-grade exams, but instead of scolding him, his parents threw a party to boost his confidence.
The Celebration
The family gathered with friends and relatives, sharing stories of setbacks and offering words of wisdom. A cake inscribed with “You Are Our Champion” became a symbol of their unwavering support. Abhishek’s determination to work harder and clear his papers in the supplementary exams was evident in his speech.
Different Strokes
The move has elicited mixed reactions, with some praising the parents’ empathy and others questioning the message it sends. While child psychologist Priya Menon calls it a refreshing take, retired teacher Anil Kumar believes it may trivialize the importance of hard work.
Road to Redemption
As Abhishek prepares for his second chance, his family remains his biggest supporter. With a study schedule in place and evening tuition classes, he’s set to turn his resolve into results. Will this bold approach pay off, or does it send the wrong signal?
