lying thousands of feet on the ground, from the sky. It swoops down at a tremendous speed, picks up the prey and again flies away. There is a focus in its vision and swiftness in its flight. You should oversee your child's activities like the hawk. This is not an act of spying, arising out of suspicion. This is only a way of caring for the child's physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
A new trend of teaching children at home instead of sending them to schools has caught up in the west with great vigour, as parents suspect, that children misbehave the moment they are out of sight. Approximately more than 10 lakh such kids are studying through this home-school mode of learning. Because of this new wave, the children are more attached to their family. Besides it is noted that they are protected from the evil effects of getting addicted to cigarettes, drugs and several such vices.
Till day people are generally used to look after food items like papad and vadi laid on the terrace tops for dehydrating by the sun's heat, then why can't they look after the activities of their children?
Children should not be allowed to use television remote, mobile, computer internet and other gadgets unless extremely necessary or make very limited use of such gadgets. Parents should take great care to ensure that their children do not learn anything that is inapt, from their friends and neighbors. Children should not get addicted to daily news-paper supplements with vulgar pictures and articles, obscene books and magazines. You have to watch with a hawk-like attitude that in speech, behavior, dress or in any sphere of social activity, if the child crosses the limits of accepted social behavior, you have to swoop like the hawk and rectify the misdeed before it becomes a habit.
