We two are responsible for the birth of our child. Hence we accept that we are primarily responsibility for the proper upbringing of this child by following this parenting guide.
Others may help us in this arduous task but we will never completely delegate this job to anyone except under a few special circumstances and will make every effort to take over the work at the earliest.
We consider her/him as a unique gift of God and will accept her/him with whatever limitations she/he may be having. We understand that every child born into this world is like an uncut diamond and needs a lot of cutting and polishing with Loving Discipline before she/he can shine brilliantly.
We will try our best to make her/him a responsible citizen who firmly believes in human values. We shall spare no effort in instilling in him a sense of pride in his country, in his culture and heritage but at the same time respect for other nations and cultures.
We shall make her/him realize the importance of discipline, punctuality, hard work, honesty, polite talk, proper social conduct, respect for elders and consideration for handicapped people.
While trying to earn more money to take care of her/his physical and educational needs we shall not ignore her/his psychological needs. We shall explore all legal and moral means to augment our income and try to spend some with her/him.
We shall not quarrel in her/his presence. We shall sort out our differences privately. We understand that children can suffer from serious psychological problems if they see their parents quarreling and shouting at each other.
We shall help her/him to be what he wants to be and shall not force our ideas on her/him. We shall not entertain unrealistic expectations about her/him. We shall try our best to find out her/his true potentials and nurture them.
We realize that as parents we should try to understand our child and give her/him our unconditional love first before expecting the same. We shall faithfully follow this parental guide.
We shall set an example to her/him not by precept but by practice. We understand that children tend to emulate elders and we will be careful in whatever we say or do. If we do not care for our parents we have no right to expect our child to care for us.
