@Mano in my younger days there were elders in family who told us stories of good winning over evil. We were encouraged to read. I still remember my dad reading out for me. We were allowed to play. yes studies were important and we were expected to score good, but then it was not the very important thing.
But today many parents in their over protectiveness dont allow their children to play, to stop them complaining either TV is put or tablet or mobile is given. Scoring marks is given so much importance over developing a healthy mind to face the world.In addition where in our times we had a family, these kids belonged to divorced parents, abusive parents, drunkard parents who just dont care about their existence and feel money can solve all problems, only to realize one day they have lost their child.Also I have heard from my friend who has a 8 year old son and her husband is working abroad the principal of the school told her, either your husband should come to native place or you should go where he is working. A boy without a father or a father figure in the teenage years can go astray. And her husband relocated to native.In many cases you can see father's working abroad and mother's alone handling teenage sons problems come, same with girls if mothers are not there in their adolescent years things can go astray. We dont realize the importance of roles.Sometime a child just want someone to listen to and these people just make use of that. Even listening to the child for 30 mins can ensure these people dont touch our youngsters.
