Lack of sharing and caring at home can be disastrous.
In many houses nowadays, the inmates are not talking freely and even they are not sitting together for at least sometime and remain engaged with their personal chores or hobbies. Either they are sitting in different places or even when they together, they keep meddling with their individual mobiles or laptops. This attitude affects many genuine persons in the house, especially the children.Recently, I happened to overhear two college students in the bus. One girl was expressing her annoyance to her friend that her parents do not even care her presence in the house and are always busy somehow or the other. She was worrying about her poor status in one subject and wanted to have some tuition but was afraid to approach the parents since they were always busy. This situation is found in many houses and no parents are talking freely with the children of any age.
This lack of sharing and not sparing time for the kids leads the children to share their problems or events with others which in turn might prompt others to exploit the children in different ways.
Free communication and interaction lead to a cordial atmosphere in the house and parents can assess their children in all respects like their study, behavior and friends etc. In one city a girl used to copy her lessons from her friend's guide and read from mobile when she travels in bus or sitting at home. But misunderstanding this practice, the mother spoke to the father about her in another way and on shouting and scolding from her father this girl committed suicide, and later came to know from her friend what was actually going on. But it was too late by then.
So let us act and react on time and maintain cordial relations at home so that we are all happy as a family.
