Seeing the father's continuous aggression, the child quietly begins to symapthise with the mother. Some-times the child develops an apathy for the mother, who unleashes her volley of expletives on the poor father, who faces the same like a helpless batsman. In some houses where many such allrounders have come together, you can imagine the plight of the poor child only by being a child !
Once a small girl gave her brother a velan, (rolling pin) and told him that let's fight like our parents and the show started. Such incidents reveal the civilisation prevailing in the house. There is a difference between photographs and x-rays. I feel like saying : "If not for God's sake, atleast for the child's sake, please maintain peace in the house”..
Every activity that takes place in the house is the child's activity for tomorrow. The speech of the parents is the ringtone of the child's speech. The parent's life-style is the child's school in which he learns whole heartedly. The personal life of the parents has a big role to play in the upbringing of the child. Let us remember again that the child learns very quickly by illustration and in no other way he learns as quickly. If the fresh milk in the vessel contaminates, than you can assume that the vessel which now contains the milk, had curd in it before and some drops of curd had remained, causing the milk to contaminate.
Kids have two great strengths. 1. Grasping power 2. Imitating power. The grasping power of children and yogis is immense but there is a difference in their acceptance. The yogi's grasping power is like a mirror whereas the child's grasping power is like a camera lens. Everything is reflected in the mirror but the mirror only accepts it and remains a witness,
