Parents should get off their pedestal and start treating children as equals. This has to happen right from early childhood.

If you make yourself into something truly wonderful, your children will look up and listen to you.

Having children is not about reproduction – you are creating the next generation of people. This is a tremendous responsibility.

Do not expect your children to respect you. You must build a bond of love and friendship, not of respect and domination.

When you claim authority over your children, you lose their friendship.
