Last week we saw lots of parent were blasting annu kapoor for not judging kids properly. Even this week after a jodi is eliminated jodi's parents made a comment which was very arrogant and intasteful in my opinion. This was the same lady who said she was partial to her son and could not judge her son. I feel most judges are there to help and improve kids performances. Rakhi was right. If you say your kid was 100% he or she will become arrogant and would not try to wok on their weaknesses. I totally agree with her.

Now the questions?

1. When rakhi criticized that parent should not praise kids? Do you think she was right why

Parents should praise the kids but not in a way that would incubate over confidence or arrogance in them. They should also know that there would be many others who would be equally good or better than them and should learn to accept it.

2. Do you think annu kapoor was blasted wrongfully? why?

Yes. Sitting on that seat is not a comfortable one, and having to judge and criticize the kids is no easy task, as he has to be careful about not to hurt the feelings of the kids and at the same time point out their errors and help them to correct them as well as improve rather than losing hope. Also when parents did that in front of children, they have set a wrong example for their kids, and they will start to think that it is the right way of getting things done.

3. is it right for parent to stick there nose in judges' duty?

No, it is like poking nose into the examiners' marking of exam papers. By doing so, the parent(s) is also passing the wrong idea into the kid's head - that he/she is the best and the parent(s) will make sure to get them 100% from the judges no matter how they perform. Judges have the same position as teachers.

4. Do you feel that judges should point out mistakes kids made and parents hould not criticize judges for that?

Yes. You should give the freedom to judges to judge right, else you would be demanding 10/10 from them and your kid will never learn humility nor will ever improve. Criticism helps them to perform better and to be humble. But if a judge is totally unreasonable and biased against a single kid, then that should be pointed out as it will make the kid lose confidence and interest to perform.

5. Do you feel that any of the judge is partial here toward contestant and unable to judge them fairly?

At times, Rakhi is a bit partial towards Khushi, and Kunal was a bit partial towards Smitha sometimes.

6. Do you feel little kids should be judged the same way as older ppl and remind them of their mistakes?

Not the same way as older people, but they should be corrected by all means. Since the maturity and knowing right from wrong is not the same as elders for kids, they should be judged accordingly and based on age and exposure. Older kids should be expected to behave and speak in a much better way than the little ones.

Post any other comments you want regarding this matter. But be careful not to break any forum rules please.

I hope I havent broken any rules. 😊
