Vedic way to balance between being a loving parent and disciplining guardian, handling crucial years of adolescent.

Traditionally in Indian families, women & children are most susceptible to degradation in terms of getting exploited and losing the culture, without guidance and hence the generation shift from the millennials to the generation X requires support, care, and security.

The journey for everyone to imbibe the shift and change is all that one has to be a master. The road later is half traveled when one makes up a mind and accepts the simple facts. Relationships will be the same, just the way we create the balance and adapt to the change (adding an analogy — darwin‘s ’theory of survival of the fittest and evolution).

They are psychologically talking about nurture versus nature theory in reference by getting influenced by the creations of the living ecosystem of the nature around us. Parents are like the oxygen for a child from the day they decide to get into the shoe and take the responsibility.

Children are like creepers. Parents have to provide them with a support system that needs constant attention, supervision, and care so that they grow up into healthy, vibrant trees intact with roots and grounding of values. (Be the change first yourself what you need to see in the world as there is saying changes start from within yourself first).

If parents impersonate “Bhagavat Geeta 1.41. “

“ Good population in human society is the basic principle for peace, prosperity and spiritual progress of life. In fact, that was Arjuna’s fear when he refused to fight, as he thought that the war would lead to unwanted progeny.

In general, in today’s society, the same thing is in relationships going on a roller coaster ride with families. Getting into heated arguments, problems in pre-marriage, teenagers, pregnancies, live-in relationships, abortions, drug abuse, weapon use, inappropriate behavior many more.

The big red flag we see here is wherein we shrug our shoulders by saying, “this is the “Kaliyuga” what do you expect?

If we fail to understand the way our perception creates an impact on the growth of future generations. (referring to children- future generations).

We should get out of the urge of providing a better future to our children my the materialistic satisfaction rather we should be more focused on being more responsible and provide our children with inculcating the values of care and raising them to be responsible, mature, and spiritual person in life.
