________________ children. Every child has a father but the fatherhood of every father is not the same. The coconut tree gives sweet fruits but is not capable of giving the required shade. The banyan tree gives shade but does not bear sweet fruits but the mango tree has the capacity to give both : sweet fruits and shade. Keeping this view in mind, fatherhood can be classified into three types : 1. Tense Father. 2. Busy Father. 3. Rosy Father. Tense Father : A person who is over burdened by work pressure and tensions and has no time to spare nor any sensitivities left in him. He has the good fortune which enables him to earn lakhs of rupees at the click of a finger but perspires heavily to spare even one hour for his child. He does not have the time to give enough attention to his son once a month also. He is more or less ignorant of his child's education, health, temperament and his weaknesses and talents ( that is remained ignorant ). If some-one inquires with such busy fathers of the standard in which their child is studying, they have to ask the child's mother for the answer. From this incident you can gauge the standard of the father's interest in his child. Such a father is described below as : . a person who has no vision for the character development of his child, • a person who has no mind to think about his child's companions and opportunities, • a person who has no ears to hear the unspoken maladies of his child's requirements for his time and affection, • a person who has no emotions to give warmth and love to his child. Such a father is a person who is present yet absent. He Second Edition
