You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you, For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. You should love them, but your thoughts should not pass to them . Bring them up in a loving atmosphere, and there will be very few problems. If Mum and Dad love each other, and face life s problems together bravely, you will find that the children grow up with few problems.
Quarrels are very unsettling.
In some houses, parents quarrel in front of their children. This is an unhealthy practice. If there is any difference of opinion between parents, this should be resolved in the absence of the children. Children cannot concentrate on their studies if they are disturbed by family problems. So parents should never discuss problems in front of their children.
