Hello Steemians!
Checking my username it very funny to see Used-lessboy, people will think is useless boy but not and these are my few reasons to think children are not useless.
What do I mean by not useless but used-less. Some people believe when their child are not doing what they want they believe the child is not useful for them which is very rampant in my country here. But believe me everybody in this world has at least one to two problem to solve, so will you tell me since someone is unable to do this, the person cannot do another thing, he/she may not be useful for the first work but useful in the other one.
Many of our parents want us to be a professional in a field in which it maybe the field they are or a field that people in it get enough earning without knowing if there wards is capable or having passion for that work. Many children are doing what their parents want them to do not what the like or have passion for, some children will succeed in it while many may not in which the parents will say the child is useless, but if it what he/she have passion for he/she will surely succeed.
Parents wants their wards to be in school to learn something but forget that not everyone will succeed with what they learnt in school in which some children during their young ages if you studied them then, you will see some may like constructing things, some like to play football, some like to lead others like teaching them etc. now a child who like constructing things now with the influence of the parents ask to become a doctor, can he/she really succeed?
We have many dropout from school not that they don't know what they are doing in school but surely have another thing in mind. A big example is
- Bill Gate which his parents want him to be a lawyer at his early life but he later dropout from school not that he was not able to cope even he was one of the best student in his class then but his mind was at something else which people will think he was useless then but now without him we may not know what Microsoft is and his parent support his decision because they can see that he will come out with something special but if to be some of the parents they can disown him because he drop out from school.

- Mark Zuckerberg the founder of Facebook was also a dropout from school bring something useful to us. Many of our successful entrepreneurships are dropout from school who people thing then that they are useless.
Children may be useless in some aspect but if we can study them and bring them to the right path, the will be useful for us and themselves in that accept. Some of the children if they can learn handwork they may be useful in that than book.
How can we now make our wards useful for us and themselves?
- Help he/she discover him/herself at the early stage of life, by monitoring them on what he/she like to be doing most.
- Guide them on that, by not letting them deflect from that aspect.
- Support them by giving them courage because they will see many challenges on that so by encouraging them will give them enough courage to face any challenges that comes there way.
That is why I said Children are not Useless but they are Used-less.
