Children -future of nation

Dear Editor,
It is heartfelt desire of every parent for their children to be responsible human beings and citizens, but in fact only parents can make the greatest contribution in making children responsible citisens. There is also a way to get work from children and teach them work. Parents often give their children commands that they do not understand.
Therefore, it is important to divide the work into sections before handing them over to the children. Parents are often relieved when their children are assigned a job, but when the work is done, the parents want to prove that the children do not know how to do the work properly by blaming them for the work, saying, it is useless to assign the work to them. This gradually reduces the children’s interest in work. Unless children are convinced that they will do well, they would not have
confidence.
It is important to commend them. If there is any shortcoming in completing the work, explain it to the children in a loving way. Many families do not have a habit of working in a planned way. As a result, parents do not succeed in putting good ideas into practice. Due to this habit, children also do not feel their responsibility, so it is important to make children aware of tasks in a planned manner.
It is quite important to make children realise that their parents are proud of them. Children should be taught to complete tasks with faith, patience and concentration. Some sharp words like, if you had been conscious before, it would not have happened, we should refrain from speaking. Such words leave deep scars on the child’s soul and prove to be a major impediment in the child’s personality development. Children, especially those between the ages of six and fifteen, reach an age when they can understand their social and moral responsibilities.
It is up to the parents to give them the opportunity they need at this age and to understand them. Children are the future of our country. Parents should try to be friends with their children, leaving the dictatorial form like Hitler so that the child does not feel like doing anything. Children can easily share their problems and doubts with their parents. In addition to parents, teachers should also be friendly with their students. The behaviour of the teacher should be such that the students can feel free to share their personal and academic difficulties with the teacher.
Let us all work together to understand these tender and gentle minds and make them responsible heirs of the future.
