    Elders control helps children to lead a liberated life.

    Many children and youngsters thinking that elders unnecessarily control them and they are not letting them Liberty. But they should know that the control from elders are just to make them to live a liberty life,
    A Bible story I read:
    One daughter saying her father with annoyance that her mother always controlling her. Daddy with smile but without saying anything slightly combed her hair with his fingers. In the evening she called her father whether he could give company as she is going to fly kite in the upstairs. Daddy with the same smile went with her. After some time the kite fly to a good height. As he overwhelmed with joy. At a point daddy simply cut the thread she hold with a scissor. The kite fell down at a distance after dillydallying. She daughter cried. But daddy with the same smile told her, 'my dear, till you hold the thread in your hand, the kite went high and gives you joy. But the grip from your hand once gone, the place where the kite gone nobody knows and a heaviness found in you. Similar to that children can go to any height/level with grip or control of parents which gives a pleasure to them. Once grip of parents lost the place where you will go, nobody knows but gives a heaviness in parents.'

    While it is important for children to have some level of independence and freedom in their lives, the guidance and support of elders can also be beneficial in helping children develop a sense of responsibility, respect, and self-discipline.

    Elders can provide valuable insights and wisdom based on their own life experiences, and can help children learn from their mistakes and make better choices in the future. They can also serve as positive role models and provide a sense of stability and security for children who may be struggling with personal or emotional issues.

    Additionally, elders can help children develop a strong sense of cultural identity and tradition, which can be important in today's fast-paced and rapidly changing world. By passing down stories, customs, and values from generation to generation, elders can help children understand and appreciate their cultural heritage, and develop a deeper sense of connection to their family and community.

    However, it is important to note that elders should not control children's lives to an excessive degree, as this can hinder their personal growth and development. Instead, elders should provide guidance and support while also allowing children to make their own decisions and learn from their mistakes. This balance of support and independence can help children lead a liberated life while also developing the skills and values they need to succeed in the world.

    That is true. One should not become a kite in the air without any control. We never know which way it goes and where it will fall. Falling is a must when the thread is out of our hands.
    There should be a good understanding between the elders and the young people. Elders should not restrict too much their younger. We should allow them to get on to the top in the field they like. They should be watching them and caution them when they are going out of the path. Elders should not impose their wishes and likes on their younger generation.
    At the same time, younger also should respect their elders. If something is told by the elders younger should also see what is the point in it instead of pushing it away saying useless. A balanced approach between the two will be always a better situation I feel. Domination from one side is never acceptable. In the olden days, young people are less informed but these days they have more information at their fingertips than the elders.

    Elders should control children,but control should not be too much.Too much control make children dull.
    It is true that children need guidance and supervision from their elders, especially when they are young and still developing their cognitive and social skills. Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in providing a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow.
    However, it is important to strike a balance between control and autonomy. Too much control can stifle a child's natural curiosity and creativity, and can also lead to feelings of resentment and rebellion. Children also need opportunities to make decisions, take risks, and learn from their mistakes.
    Therefore, it is important for parents and caregivers to find a middle ground where they provide guidance and boundaries, but also allow children the freedom to explore and learn on their own. This can be done by setting clear expectations and rules, but also encouraging children to express themselves, ask questions, and pursue their interests.

    Service to mankind is service to God.

    The author has provided a valuable insight to her daughter in one fine session. The father took pain to make her daughter understand the path of obstacles during our approach and also the ways to come out of the situations.
    The parents should be the best eye openers where to provide their kids for autonomy and where to control them so that they might not face any grief for their overacting. However parental guidance should come up with elaborate discussions providing the kids sufficient explanations for the amendment of their decisions to make the same fruitful.
    Such tutorials would help their kids to understand the real situations significantly.
