Nurture your children with care they are GIFT OF GOD to YOU.
"In the west 'generational conflict' is not only expected but considered necessary for the renewal of a society's institutions."
Most of the parents blame the T.V., film industry, internet and the media, which expose the hum drums of this glamorous world and the children get inspired by it without thinking what is right or wrong, suitable or unsuitable for them.
Is it really true that the media is exposing a lot and seeking the attention of the children and leading them to a wrong path. It's a myth that young minds are inspired by the media's glamorous world. In fact the primary exposures are the parents specially for the Indian children.
Young people in our family generally receive a good deal of attention and nurturing from the older generations, a young Indian neither seeks a radical demarcation from the parent's generation nor feels compelled to overthrow authority in order to live life on his terms.
Studies have proven that 30% of the children get inspired by their parents and nearly half of the students inspire by the parents and nearly half of the students inspire by the older people with whom they regularly interacted. Who are the older people with whom the children regularly interacted with ?
We can think of their grandparents, maternal or paternal.
It seems that the influence of the family makes a lot of difference in the holistic development of the child.
the day is not far when India will have to face the problem of generational conflict and the society as an institution will be in trouble.
Since both the parents are working they do not get quality time to spend with the children. They just feed the children to grow them physically, other major fields of the development most of the time neglected ie social, emotional & mental.
In the absence of their parents children keep watching T.V or playing video games which is a one way process interaction can not take place. Children get self centered gradually they stop interacting with their parents even. This is the result of the adopting nuclear family system. Else the working parents would have been their parent's to look after their children and the children would have their grand parents to develop their social, emotional, mental fields as well.
Parents need to think in favor of their children not only financially or physically but also development of their total personality.
Be the role model to your children, have space for your parents in your hearts, have patience to listen to them, have respect for your elders, enjoy the freedom of bondage. Your children would adopt the same happily.
AS YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU REAP
