Que 1. What bad behaviour do children usually have ?
The bad behavior associated with children are creating noise, breaking things, disrespecting elders, scribbling on the walls and stealing small things like pencils, erasers and bullying other children. Some even cry for unnecessary reasons.
Que 2. How should parents stop their children from behaving badly in public?
I think parents should stop their children from doing bad things at home. It is said that charity begins at home. I think parents should not just stop children from doing something bad but also tell them why it is bad to do it. And teach them the right way to behave.
Que 3. Are parents these days stricter than in the past?
On the contrary, I think parents are more lenient these days. It is mainly due to two reasons, first being the strict laws against physical punishment and the second reason is the influence of western culture.
Que 4. Whose influence on children is more? Parents or their Friends?
I think in the early years, the parents’ influence is second to none, as children spend the majority of their time with their parents. But as children grow older, they spend considerably more time with their friends, and I think during these years, it is their friends that influence their behavior and thinking the most.

Que 1. Who is the leader in a Indian family?
The leader in an Indian family can either be the eldest male or female.
Que 2. How do grandparents take care of their children?
In today’s world children love to go to their grandparents house, because they know they will be pampered by their grandparents. They also enjoy the tales their grandparents tell them. They also use this as a means of escaping punishment from their parents. Grandparents also help busy parents in nurturing their children to become great adults. They take care of children easily.
Que 3. What’s the most important quality of a good parent?
I believe the most important quality is to be open-minded not to be a parent who their children can’t confide in or talk to because of fear that they will flare up. A parent who is open-minded puts into consideration the opinions of the children, and allows them to make decisions sometimes by guiding them through. They also give advice and not to enforce their will on the children, they are always on the lookout to help the children develop any talent they have.
Que 4. How can new parents learn about parenting?
New parents can learn about parenting by reading books, taking parenting classes, and also associating themselves with good parents in order to learn one or two parenting tips.
