Abbas Naaseri / The general perception of labor children in society is that they are immature and engaged in tasks that are not suitable for their age. They often receive inadequate remuneration for their work. When we see these children, we feel pity for the difficulty of their work, which is not proportional to their age and ability. This social problem has its roots in economics.
In today’s era of social media and modern technology, a concerning form of child labor has emerged, rooted in intellectual poverty. These children are captives of their parents, families, and social media managers until, they are being used to, gain attention and recognition by showcasing the children’s activities as unique and special, simply because they are being performed by children and, they imagine they are special. These activities may be similar to those of adults, but because they are presented by a child, they are unconventional and appealing manner, often evoking emotional or verbal reactions from the audience. To attract the audience, this is done to garner daily and extreme attention, and the children, under the control of their parents, are unable to break free from this harmful cycle and messy play. Whether knowingly or unknowingly, Intentionally or unintentionally, parents are shaping their children’s future by exposing them to this kind of exploitation. What should be private, family-centered activities are being broadcast to a wide audience that there is no cognition about them, exposing children to potentially harmful influences.
These are the labor children of the modern world who need more pity.
A special example of these parents is those who have entered the competition in the field of art and turn their children into two marathon runners and hang a medal on their necks every time.
Due to the greater number of cartoon festivals compared to children’s drawing and illustration, several educators with dreams and illusions create through “certification of participation”; They encourage parents to enroll their children in their classes and send their children’s works to these festivals. Children who can’t distinguish between cartoons and other fields, and maybe parents who can not distinguish the certification of participation from the real certificate… it is the concern of families to bring children’s beginner productions to global excellence. Children who neither have the power to choose nor are aware of these issues; In modern slavery, parents and teachers are in their due to the sight of their unfulfilled dreams and the teachers who, to attract more students, falsely make the normal procedure of accepting the work as the golden tablet of their cartoon child’s record. A child who still does not know w”Resume, certificate of work acceptance, and, certification of participate, are often given to all participants without any real merit, leading to a false sense of achievement for parents and teachers who ruined children whole childhood world with the nightmare of competition. Inthe next step Subsequently, parents often showcase these achievements on social media to promote their own superiority in educational methods. I have already written about this issue in the sixth weekly single page. “FANCIFUL CERTIFICATE”
Important point about mentioned teachers; to note that many coaching programs also encourage students to join events that offer “participation certificates” to all attendees. These teacher’s programs further their interests by promoting these fanciful certificates so they boost their business.
Is it unreasonable for parents to inquire why events like Aydin Doghan, Kanoke Heist, Nasreddin Hoja, and WordPress do not provide their children with a certificate of appreciation (read it: certificate of participation)?
As a cartoonist with many years of experience, I am enthusiastic about involving children in this art form. But attending with the purpose of learning, seeing ,and gaining experience that is next to the world of her childhood and lead to the development of a promising and successful artist.
Pay attention; instead of the captivity of children in competitions; to receive fake certificates, children should not be to participate in festivals that do not have a children and youth section at all.
As someone with experience, I believe in this matter and, I can say that participating in such events can darken a child’s future. Children shouldn’t have to deal with the stress and pressure of participating in a kind of competitions, because they don’t know what are these competition. If you are concerned about them; at such a young age, they should be allowed to enjoy their childhood. If you truly care about your children, encourage them to participate in events organized specifically for their age group by reputable organizations that have been vetted by experts and psychologists in child development.”
STOP
This is an artistic warning.
Stop artistic cruelty to children. The world of childhood is the world of image, color, and art. Childhood is wonderful. Let the colors and imprints be recorded in the same shape.hich way to walk.
