Author Description

"My child is notorious, mischievous, stubborn. He is aggressive, disobedient and always in a mood of fight. He does not care for school and study. Remains busy with his smartphone. When obstructed, starts arguing." Generally, these are some of the complaints that every parent is ready to put forward. For every single mistake, parents are quick to scold and rebuke their children but they do not try to find out the reasons for their behavior. It is not that children suddenly develop all these traits in a day. It is a process of learning things that gradually thrives on what is available for them to learn from the people around. In the fast pace lifestyle of modern parents, children are losing not only their childhood but it is getting worse and becoming insecure. In addition to schooling, children should be made aware of qualities such as self-restraint, service-feeling, duty-consciousness, labour, sacrifice, goodwill, dedication etc. Undoubtedly the best school for learning these qualities is their own family. The very purpose of this book is to enable parents to grow their children as a good human being over and above their school education. Contents: 1. The Purpose of the Book 2. The Family Atmosphere 3.
