7here are no perfect families, let¶s Must get down and discuss it. ,n any homestead where either parent is having e[tra marital affairs tense moments and undercurre­nt atmos pheres have to prevail. 1eedless to say the children suffer.

When the man comes home late it is inevitaEle that the mother will, on the following day, Eecome even nastier to one of the children, if that child does not get a Eeating.

,nstead of dealing with the root cause of her proElems, which is her husEand, the mother vents her anger on wrong people.

Children growing up in such homesteads think it is normal to

have numerous partners and there fore find it difficult to stick to one partner. %eing promiscuou­s Ee comes natural to them.

$fter all, they saw it in their parents, they think this is right. Well it is not 6uch people need counsellin­g and should seek help. 'enial will only make them more miseraEle.

Changed

8pon oEserving how many are Eringing up their children, it is oE vious that very little has changed. 0others tend to let their mouths rattle away and Eecause they say µso much¶, they even say things they later regret.

1umerous parents get their help ers to Ering up their children and then complain they cannot commu nicate with their children. 7his is

the reason most children shy away upon Eeing addressed Eecause they spend most of their time at home in a restricted environmen­t and, therefore, lack communicat­ion and social skills.

7he ne[t time an adult is aEout to vocalise something demeaning towards a minor, they should think carefully. 7hey so disliked it in the past when others did that to them and yet they have now Eecome like the very people they so loathed. 7he tongue can either Euild or destroy. 0any Eelieve , had the perfect upEringing and thus the reason , turned out to Ee who , am today. 1o ways , ensured , never did unto others what , so disliked in my superiors.
