about the difficulties in bringing up children these days. Too much of freedom in
demand, too much independence; over night parties; excessive extravagance,
splurging pocket money; no time for studies and family all this is a common cry
of such families. Aren’t parents, themselves, responsible for this pitiful state ?
The basic need of a growing youth is the family, love, attention and bonding
along with moral values. One should not forget that ‘charity begins at home’.
Independence and individuality both need to be respected, in order to maintain
the sanctity of family. Children, today are to be handled with tact in order to
bridge the ever widening generation gap. Only the reasonable demands need to
be fulfilled, as there are too many expenses to be met and top many social
obligations to be taken care of by the parents. Our forefathers lived happily in
joint families. Children loved to live with their cousins, learnt to adjust within
means. There was perfect harmony between the generations. There never
existed the concept of oldage homes. There was deep respect for the family
elders and love, care and concern for the youngsters. Even the minor family
differences were solved amicably.
