PARENTS - THE ROLE MODELS
Parents are the real role models for their children.Good and bad habits of the parents are easily learned and stored in their memory.Children invariably follow these inputs for their referal in case, they face any critical situations in their life. When the children misbehave, it is mainly due to the faulty training imposed by the parents in their early days.They are not aware that they are really responsible for incubating the bad character and behaviour in their own children without understanding them emotionally well.These mental taumas inflicted early in life affect their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
DR.HABIBULLAH writes about one such incdent in his poem.
as the twig bends
so the tree.
a bad parent
can not bring forth
a good child.
in anger
you can not laugh.
in weep
you can not smile.
it is difficult
to extract
sandal oil
in the fire wood.
dogs can not sing
snakes can not hum
tigers can not bleat
the leopard can't
change it's spots.
you are my mirror
i am your mirror
mirror is always innocent.
it can reflect
what is projected.
i can reflect
only your image.
If the grown up children and adolescents ask this sort of sensitive questions, it may be too difficult for the parents to answer them sensibly.
