Twitterati have reacted strongly to a video that is making rounds on the social media wherein a sobbing-kindergarten girl can be seen being slapped as she struggles with identifying first five numerals (1 to 5).

Cricketers Shikhar Dhawan and Robin Uthappa were among those who deplored the treatment meted out to the kid and also advised the parents to be patient with their children.

“I request parents to be patient with ur kids at all times. Every child learns at his own pace. Pls refrain from beating/degrading them,” wrote Dhawan, alongside the video.

Uthappa tweeted, “This is heart wrenching. Children shouldn’t be raised this way. This needs to stop. I pray we can raise our kids with love instead of fear.”

The video shows the girl trying to identify numbers 1 to 5 written on a notebook lying in front of her. The girl can be seen in utter distress as she pleads with folded hands for a break, claiming that she was having a headache. However, the woman (not visible) in the video, apparently the mother, continues to make the child identify the numbers. The video has been going viral on WhatsApp and getting plenty of attention.

On WhatApp groups, people sympathised with the little girl.
