The proverb
says “Parents are the first teacher and teachers are the second parent”
parents play an important role in shaping the character of their children.
Bringing up
children is an art and is almost like sowing a seed, watering it, fencing when
it grows, periodical manuring and using pesticides if needed in due course of
time. Parents have to see that their children should grow in an atmosphere that
makes them good and successful citizen.
It is very true that the parents
eagerly desire that their children will be well educated and well settled in
their lives. While doing so they are not expecting anything in return from them
at a later period. Usually the parents are the role models for their children.
It is the real fact that the seeds of bitter guard will never produce plant
with sweet fruits. Those people with antisocial (bad) qualities can never
expect their children to be good. Therefore, it is the first and foremost
responsibility of a parent to come forward for self sacrifice and detach all
bad qualities of their character. Then only they can mould their children’s
character or behavior.
There are some other important
aspects which parents should keep in mind in the interest of the overall
development of their children.
Parents
should desist from scolding and teasing their children for poor performance
in studies. They
should never compare their children with other children because each
and every child has unique potentiality which should be harnessed and
utilized according to their capacity. Parents
should never pressurize their children to do or learn something beyond their
capacity rather they should encourage them to perform well with courage and
hope. Parents
should teach their children to have compassion for the poor and
oppressed people of the society. Compassion has its roots in every noble
heart and the basis of real act of compassion is nobility and humility.
The greatest drawback in nature of human being is
delivering percepts without practice. Everyone is preacher but very few are
followers. The ideal and strong man is one who follows what he preaches.
Weak are those who talk through their life and noble ideal are those who walk
through life. So you must
always have ideal person in your mind and make the greatest possible efforts
for achieving the same.
