"If our children are ungrateful to us, who is to be blamed? Maybe the fault lies with us.
If we never taught them to express gratitude to others, how can we expect them to show gratitude to us?" Everyone is born in this world with an inheritance of certain qualities or habits.
It is therefore the duty of the parents to pay particular attention to such gifted skills and encourage the child to develop it, if it is to serve a good purpose.
Some people through a sudden stroke of fortune receive a large sum of money or they might inherit a large share of property from their parents.
But amongst them only a very few would know how to preserve and maintain such newly acquired property.
Normally property that is easily acquired without their own effort and labour, has no real value to them.
Therefore they will start to spend the money on unnecessary things and no sooner, the whole property will be squandered.
People must know how to hand their property without wasting it and for that they must use a little bit of their common sense.
Many parents try to keep their married children under their control.
They do not give them the due freedom even after their marriage.
Parents may be doing it as a good faith due to the love and attachment towards the children, but doing so they only invite troubles to themselves.
Parents must let their children to shoulder the responsibilities of their own lives and families.
Some seeds are dropped under a tree which in turn out the small plants might sprout up after sometime.
But if you want the plants to grow up independently , like the parent tree you must transplant them somewhere else separately.
Many parents are unnecessary worrying today.
Whenever they find that their grown up children are no longer controllable, they think that such children would spoil the reputation of the family and bring disgrace to their parents.
It is true that parents have to shoulder their responsibilities.
However there is an art of upbringing the children in a proper way.
Most parents simply allow their children to behave as they like without giving them any moral instruction when they were young.
Later on the same parents worry themselves when the children do not care for them.
No doubt there are some incorrigible cases, and for such cases, parents need not worry too much if they done their parental duties expected of them.
