"Lalayet pancavarsani dasa varsani tadayet prapte tu sodase varse putram mitravadacaret"

Till the age of five, pamper a child, Through the next ten years, enforce strict discipline. From the sixteenth year, treat the child as a friend.  - Chanakya Niti.

Parenting is one of the most important period in a man's and women's life. Most parents think parenting as disciplining their child. In Vedic Tradition it is said that, Parenting is Self-diciplining the child within. Most parents yell at children's mistakes, hardly noticing that that trait is actually one's own self reflection. Through child if parents take attempt to grow with their children, finally both of them would make a wonderful family.

    Family values and tradition is on the verge of crashing. We all want a peaceful world without any participation. When we create a peaceful family, a family without violence, then the world would naturally end up peaceful.

All cultures in the world have their own tradition and values. Parents must introduce such samskars (Tradition) to their children with "Freedom" to inquire the Value of such traditions and live to that values. This gives  a sense of direction to their  life. Blindly doing rituals without knowing the value will bring dishonor to the tradition.

    Without meaningful traditions and rituals, people would be psychologically sick. We would have materialistic comforts with inner peace. In all traditions, the value of rituals is to bring inner peace.  

      Weak Parenting brings forth mentally troubled children who would grow into society inflicting adults. We are directly or indirectly responsible to all the good and bad occurring in this world. Parenting is the first individual responsibility of every man and women from their part to create a harmonious world.
