While addressing the gathering he told that Children form the future of our nation. In the present scenario, bringing up a child is a very hard task for parents. He appealed to parents and teachers to follow the three mantras in bringing up children . Firstly, never compare a child with another as in God’s creation, every child is unique. Comparison will only lead to low self esteem among children. Secondly, appreciating the children on the work done even if it is very small, will create confidence in them and they will feel that parents are with them in all needs. Lastly, parents should be a role model for the child to emulate.
He concluded that the children are not children of their parents, they are the sons and daughters of the Almighty . They only came through the parents. Children should be allowed to realize their dreams.
