________________ Every human-being who is born on this earth has old scrap that he is born with and has a new opportunity to change his future. Everything is dependent on the environment available to him. In view of the above, the parents have a very determinant role to play in the lives of their children. What can you get from milk? Before checking this possibility, we need to see what can be mixed with milk. If water is added to milk you get a herbal drink, by adding culture for fermentation you get curd, four drops of essence added to milk gives a delicious drink and addition of two drops of acid can lead the milk which had all the possibilities listed above, to get contaminated. Efforts : The habits of the past life join us in the present life. After getting a conducive family environment also, a successful character building experiment is dependent on a key determinant which is waiting to be tapped, and that is your child's own self-efforts. A mother can make chapattis, feed the same, but she cannot move the child's teeth. That effort has to be made by the child himself. Thus, three determinants combine together to fill the plate of ingredients which help to keep the flame of character building burn. Here it is the responsibility of parents to give an environment which helps in character building. If in the initial years, proper attention is not paid and character building has not been done, it is said very often in such families that "children have got spoilt on growing up, they were so well behaved when kids”. It happens very often in those families which get influenced by material pleasures and fail to provide an environment where good habits are cultivated. No one person is responsible for this topsy-turvy situation. It Second Edition
