________________ parent is deeply concerned about the development of his child's mental capabilities as well. Similarly, every parent wishes that his child's overall personality develops but very few parents take efforts or have the capability to help him develop a good character. You have to ensure that the following two aspects form part of a child's upbringing : 1. Character development 2. Temperament development The child can defend himself by character development, and by temperament development everyone is protected. The child is going to be a part of the larger joint family, the community, society and the state. He will be someone's near one, someone's friend, someone's neighbor or someone's spouse. At every stage the foundation of his mental peace and happiness will be his own temperament. Your unmarried daughter who has to go to another home in the future should have a caring nature which will enable her to win over the other family members as her own. Who would help her to cultivate such a temperament where she does not become disrespectful to elders, get lethargic in performing her duties and ensure that the unity of the house remains intact ? Her temperament should be so cultivated that she learns to take care of all these issues, naturally. You cannot be sure what kind of in-laws are in store in your daughter's fortune but if she is endowed with the character traits of endurance and helpfulness, she will always get good in-laws. All parents parcel their sense of values to another house through the medium of their daughter. 92m m 92 Second Edition Second Edition
