Question

2. Read the following passage carefully.
12
1. As the family finally sets off from home after many arguments, there is a moment of lull as
the car takes off, "Alright, so where are we going for dinner now?" asks the one at the
"driving wheel What follows is a chaos as multiple voices make as many suggestions.
2. By the time order is restored and a decision is arrived at, tempers have risen, feelings
injured and there is at least one person grumbling.
3. Twenty years ago, you would step out of home, the decision of meal and venue already
made with no arguments or opposition and everybody looked forward to the meal with
equal enthusiasm. The decision was made by the head of the family and the others fell in
line. Today every member of the family has a say in every decision which also promotes a
sense of togetherness and bonding.
4. We empower our kids to take their own decisions from a very early ago. We ask them the
cuisine they prefer, the movie they want to see, the holiday they wish to go on and the
subjects they wish to study
5. It's a closely connected world out there where children consult and guide each other. A
parent's well-meaning advice can sound like nothing more than unnecessary preaching.
How then do we reach our children through all the conflicting views and make the voice of
reason be heard ? Children today question choices and prefer to go with the flow.
6. What then is the best path to take ? I would say the most important thing one can do is to
listen. Listen to your children and their silences . Ensure that you keep some time aside
for them, insist that they share their stories with you. Step into their world. It is not as
complicated as their stories with you. Step into their world. It is not as complicated as it
sounds just a daily half an hour of quality time would do the trick.
